On September 11, 2012, Muslim terrorists attacked the American consulate in
Benghazi, Libya, killing four Americans:
- U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens
- State Department Information Officer Sean Smith
- Ex-Navy SEALS Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods

A gag order was put on 33 surviving Americans
<http://thebartelists.com/2013/03/19/benghazi-update-where-are-the-survivors/>.
In the words of USAF retired Colonel Dick Brauer
<http://specialoperationsspeaks.com/articles/obama-has-put-a-gag-on-the-benghazi-survivors>,
co-founder of Special Operations Speaks, on March 1, 2013:
*The FBI has interviewed the survivors, but they refuse to release that
information to Congress, let alone the American people! And despite the
efforts of Senators Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte, who have been on the
front lines of the Benghazi scandal, the Obama Administration is
point-blank refusing to allow the representatives of “we the people” any
access to those firsthand accounts. At this juncture, President Obama is
hiding the injured survivors in a heavily guarded wing of Walter Reed
National Military Medical Center. And those not currently needing medical
treatment are supposedly legally barred by non-disclosure agreements from
even admitting they were present during the attacks – something that should
have been fixed by the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2012.*
Now, three survivors -- security operators at the secret CIA annex in
Benghazi are speaking out publicly for the first time in a Fox News
special, airing tonight (Sept. 5) at 10 p.m. (EDT). *As security operators,
they would be the first-responders to any attack on the consulate.*
Fox News
<http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/09/05/top-cia-official-in-benghazi-delayed-response-to-terrorist-attack-us-security/>
reports, Sept. 5, 2014, that *security contractors -- Kris Paronto, Mark
Geist, and John Tiegen *-- gave their first hand account of what they saw
and did that night. (Their account is also written as a new book, *13
Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi,* by Mitchell
Zuckoff with the CIA Annex Security Team.)
1. The CIA delayed the security rescue team for 30 minutes
Word of the attack on the diplomatic compound reached the CIA annex just
after 9:30 p.m. Within five minutes, the security team at the annex was
geared up for battle, and ready to move to the compound, a mile away.
“Five minutes, we're ready,” said Paronto, a former Army Ranger. “It was
thumbs up, thumbs up, we're ready to go.”
*But the team was held back.* According to the security operators, they
were delayed from responding to the attack by *the top CIA officer in
Benghazi*, whom they refer to only as “Bob.”
“It had probably been 15 minutes I think, and … I just said, ‘Hey, you
know, we gotta-- we need to get over there, we're losing the initiative,’”
said Tiegen. “And Bob just looks straight at me and *said, ‘Stand down, you
need to wait.’”*
“We're starting to get calls from the State Department guys saying, ‘Hey,
we're taking fire, we need you guys here, we need help,’” said Paronto.
*After a delay of nearly 30 minutes, the security team headed to the
besieged consulate without orders. *
2. The CIA refused to send armed air support
The security team asked their CIA superiors to call for armed air support,
which never came.
Now, looking back, the security team said they believed that if they had
not been delayed for nearly half an hour, or if the air support had come,
things might have turned out differently.
“Ambassador Stevens and Sean [Smith], yeah, they would still be alive, my
gut is yes,” Paronto said. Tiegen concurred, adding, “I strongly believe if
we'd left immediately, they'd still be alive today.”
In a statement to Fox News, a senior intelligence official insisted that,
“There were no orders to anybody to stand down in providing support.”
(See "Former
Ambassador: Benghazi “Stand Down” Order Came from Obama
<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2013/07/31/former-ambassador-benghazi-stand-down-order-came-from-obama/>
")
Tiegen and Paronto say they were ordered to stand down: “No, it [stand down
order] happened. It happened on the ground-- all I can talk about is what
happened on that ground that night. To us. To myself, twice, and to-- to
Tig, once. It happened that night. *We were told to wait, stand-- and stand
down. We were delayed three times.*”
In a statement to Fox News, a senior intelligence official did allow that
the security team was delayed from responding while the CIA’s top officer
in Benghazi tried to rally local support.
Asked about the infamous YouTube video that was blamed for the violence in
Benghazi, Paronto laughed at the suggestion that the video played any role
in the events of that night, saying he did not even know of the video until
he was out of Libya and on his way home. “I didn't know about the video
‘till I got to Germany,” he said. “(I had) no idea about any video, no. No,
sir.” (See "Benghazi smoking gun: White House email orchestrates propaganda
blaming terrorist attack on a video
<http://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2014/05/02/benghazi-smoking-gun-white-house-email-orchestrating-propaganda-blaming-terrorist-attack-on-a-video/>
")
The Fox News special will be re-aired Saturday at 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. (EDT),
and Sunday at 9 p.m. (EDT).
A reminder:
1. On September 23, 2012, on CBS’s* 60 Minutes, *specifically referring to
the Benghazi attack and the killing of Ambassador Stevens and three other
Americans, correspondent Steve Kroft asked Obama "if recent events in the
Middle East give you any pause about your support for the governments that
have come to power following the ‘Arab Spring’.” Obama replied, calling the
recent setbacks "*bumps in the road*." (See “Obama went to bed after being
told about Benghazi attack as it was happening
<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2012/09/25/obama-went-to-bed-after-being-told-about-benghazi-attack-as-it-was-happening/>
”)
2. On Jan. 23, 2013, testifying before Congress, Hillary Clinton (who was
Secretary of State at the time of the Benghazi attack and, therefore,
responsible for Amb. Stevens and Sean Woods) fumed at being grilled about
the White House blaming the attack on an obscure anti-Muslim video,
saying "*What
difference *at this point *does it make?*" (See "Independent review of
Benghazi attack faults State Dept
<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2012/12/19/independent-review-of-benghazi-attack-faults-state-dept/>"
and “Obama administration lied about the Benghazi attack from the beginning
<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2012/10/13/obama-administration-lied-about-the-benhazi-attack-from-the-beginning/>
,)
To Hillary:
What difference does it make? It does make a difference, because it's about
THE TRUTH.
