This makes his blaming of the freedom of speech — his attribution of the attack to a spontaneous reaction to a YouTube video — frankly insidious. What anti-free speech initiative was he hoping to implement in the wake of the attack?
“JW: Obama Admin Knew About Benghazi Before It Happened,” Judicial Watch, May 18, 2015:
Administration knew three months before the November 2012 presidential election of ISIS plans to establish a caliphate in Iraq
Administration knew of arms being shipped from Benghazi to Syria
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it obtained more than 100 pages of previously classified “Secret” documents from the Department of Defense (DOD)and the Department of State revealing that DOD almost immediately reported that the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was committed by the al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood-linked “Brigades of the Captive Omar Abdul Rahman” (BCOAR), and had been planned at least 10 days in advance. Rahman is known as the Blind Sheikh, and is serving life in prison for his involvement in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and other terrorist acts. The new documents also provide the first official confirmation that shows the U.S. government was aware of arms shipments from Benghazi to Syria. The documents also include an August 2012 analysis warning of the rise of ISIS and the predicted failure of the Obama policy of regime change in Syria.
The documents were released in response to a court order in accordance with a May 15, 2014, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed against both the DOD and State Department seeking communications between the two agencies and congressional leaders “on matters related to the activities of any agency or department of the U.S. government at the Special Mission Compound and/or classified annex in Benghazi.”
Spelling and punctuation is duplicated in this release without corrections.
A Defense Department document from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), dated September 12, 2012, the day after the Benghazi attack, details that the attack on the compound had been carefully planned by the BOCAR terrorist group “to kill as many Americans as possible.” The document was sent to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Obama White House National Security Council. The heavily redacted Defense Department “information report” says that the attack on the Benghazi facility “was planned and executed by The Brigades of the Captive Omar Abdul Rahman (BCOAR).” The group subscribes to “AQ ideologies:”
The attack was planned ten or more days prior on approximately 01 September 2012. The intention was to attack the consulate and to kill as many Americans as possible to seek revenge for U.S. killing of Aboyahiye ((ALALIBY)) in Pakistan and in memorial of the 11 September 2001 atacks on the World Trade Center buildings.
“A violent radical,” the DIA report says, is “the leader of BCOAR is Abdul Baset ((AZUZ)), AZUZ was sent by ((ZAWARI)) to set up Al Qaeda (AQ) bases in Libya.” The group’s headquarters was set up with the approval of a “member of the Muslim brother hood movement…where they have large caches of weapons. Some of these caches are disguised by feeding troughs for livestock. They have SA-7 and SA-23/4 MANPADS…they train almost every day focusing on religious lessons and scriptures including three lessons a day of jihadist ideology.”
The Defense Department reported the group maintained written documents, in “a small rectangular room, approximately 12 meters by 6 meters…that contain information on all of the AQ activity in Libya.”
(Azuz is again blamed for the Benghazi attack in an October 2012 DIA document.)
The DOD documents also contain the first official documentation that the Obama administration knew that weapons were being shipped from the Port of Benghazi to rebel troops in Syria. An October 2012 report confirms:
Weapons from the former Libya military stockpiles were shipped from the port of Benghazi, Libya to the Port of Banias and the Port of Borj Islam, Syria. The weapons shipped during late-August 2012 were Sniper rifles, RPG’s, and 125 mm and 155mm howitzers missiles.
During the immediate aftermath of, and following the uncertainty caused by, the downfall of the ((Qaddafi)) regime in October 2011 and up until early September of 2012, weapons from the former Libya military stockpiles located in Benghazi, Libya were shipped from the port of Benghazi, Libya to the ports of Banias and the Port of Borj Islam, Syria. The Syrian ports were chosen due to the small amount of cargo traffic transiting these two ports. The ships used to transport the weapons were medium-sized and able to hold 10 or less shipping containers of cargo.
The DIA document further details:
The weapons shipped from Syria during late-August 2012 were Sniper rifles, RPG’s and 125mm and 155mm howitzers missiles. The numbers for each weapon were estimated to be: 500 Sniper rifles, 100 RPG launchers with 300 total rounds, and approximately 400 howitzers missiles [200 ea – 125mm and 200ea – 155 mm.]
The heavily redacted document does not disclose who was shipping the weapons.
Another DIA report, written in August 2012 (the same time period the U.S. was monitoring weapons flows from Libya to Syria), said that the opposition in Syria was driven by al Qaeda and other extremist Muslim groups: “the Salafist, the Muslim Brotherhood, and AQI are the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria.” The growing sectarian direction of the war was predicted to have dire consequences for Iraq, which included the “grave danger” of the rise of ISIS:
The deterioration of the situation has dire consequences on the Iraqi situation and are as follows:
This creates the ideal atmosphere for AQI [al Qaeda Iraq] to return to its old pockets in Mosul and Ramadi, and will provide a renewed momentum under the presumption of unifying the jihad among Sunni Iraq and Syria, and the rest of the Sunnis in the Arab world against what it considers one enemy, the dissenters. ISI could also declare an Islamic state through its union with other terrorist organizations in Iraq and Syria, which will create grave danger in regards to unifying Iraq and the protection of its territory.
Some of the “dire consequences” are blacked out but the DIA presciently warned one such consequence would be the “renewing facilitation of terrorist elements from all over the Arab world entering into Iraqi Arena.”…
somehistory says
Well many of us suspected to the point of saying we knew it, even if we didn’t have documents to prove what they were doing and who knew about it. On FOX, they played hillary denying…lying…regarding what she knew about it all back from when they actually had her in to answer some questions.
Did the film maker ever get out of prison? Are there still men being held and told not to talk about it? This seems to say arms were going directly to the terrorists…al queda whatever the spelling…after they had been put *on the run.* And names isis even then. All planned and executed.
Helping the beast grow in power, territory and authority. May the True God carry out His judgments soon.

Very sad to state this: The DOD was a day late and a dollar short. God bless those brave Americans in Benghazi who were slaughtered and didn’t have a chance.

Thanks for your comment earlier, Linde.
My workload has increased dramatically lately and is likely to stay the same over the summer months and possibly into next year July.
I will try to visit the site from time to time to comment.
As always it is good to see all the great comments.
I have not been able to view all comments and articles.
Best wishes, to all.
Saleem Smith says
Obama and his administration are innocent lambs.
Obama is not is certainly a Muslim and knows nothing about the dark side of Islamic theology and the dirt of Muhammad’s real personal, political and military behavior.
4 more years!
We ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know that Islam is an evil fraud.
Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:
“One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…
The statement continues,
Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”

If a severed head was discovered in the desk of this man in the oval office, he would not be impeached. He is the first Black president. He is untouchable. He can do anything.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Not to quibble, but this should read “He is the first Mulato president,” which unto itself is progress.
And, not only is he not a true black, he is not truly an American. Barack Hussein himself stated in writing in a bio he sent to a publisher that he was born in Jakarta, and his “beautiful” wife repeated the same at a public ceremony in Kenya. We don’t know what he said about his birthplace in his application for admission to Columbia, at his request that record has been kept sealed. Something about personal privacy.
amissing_7 says
I personally don’t think that he is doing this simply because he’s untouchable. I think that he is doing this because that’s what he believes in. He’s a muslim and they do crazy things
That’s just how it is now.
Probably shouldn’t have voted for him because of his color people. Read the facts!
Cindy McCoy says
So why are people not being arrested and put in jail?? Any regular person would have been. Why are these people being treated with such privileges??? It is not right, let’s get them put away. That is the right thing to do. I’m just sick with this all. When are they going to face what they have done. They will one day. If not here one day in the future. God will not let it on. Wrong has to be made right.
Marco says
Read poingidae Rex post that’s why.

I ask myself this nearly every day. I want everyone involved in this Benghazi debacle dragged out of the WH in chains and paraded before the American people. Let them see the lying criminals that they are! (And let those who voted for them SEE what they voted for!)
I know there will be full justice one day before God. But I admit I’d like to see a little of that NOW! I am sick of these enemies of my country who are posing as its leaders!
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
That Obama is found to be a liar in this is good for news entertainment value only. He was proven to be a bald faced liar when the meeting minutes came out about whether to continue saying you can keep your health care plan, and they decided to keep saying it to help throw the election.
That Hillary is a liar is of marginal import, nobody trusts her but still half support her because of her sexual plumbing. Whoops, let me restate that as *genderual* plumbing. Grammar trumps biology, it’s more malleable and thereby more laywerable.
Speaking of sexual plumbing, no mention is made of the fact that Amb. Stevens was gang raped anally by the devout Moslem activists who killed him. But now, that’s kept silent as an untoward and uncomfortable fact. If a woman ambassador had been anally gang raped by dominatrix lesbians before they executed her, would that be kept silent?
Martin Vink says
You do amazing work Robert but, with due respect, preaching to the converted is a waste of time with Obama’s approval rating more than three times that of the Congress.
Unless we impeach him or sue somebody or get the People involved in some way, we are bound to be frustrated.
Referendums against the use of sharia in the USA and its states will bring the issues to the people.
Secondly, we need to realize that if the connection between Islam and the economy is not clearly made out, we need to connect border security and people’s jobs or something that is an immediate threat rather than waiting for the terror training camps to be activated.
Lioness says
But how, when the majority vote elects this kind of treacherous scum? You have marxisit socialists, Mexicans, blacks and self-hating Jews, all voting for someone with Zero political experience only because he is black. The same will happen again, they will vote for a woman, regardelss of the fact that she lied about Benghazi, deleted emails illigaly, taken money from this dubious foundation and God knows what else. None of it will matter: she is a democrat and a woman. She will be aided by the media; I am sure that no late night talk host will mock her appearance, the way Letterman mocked Sara Palin’s, or mention any uncomfortable issues. She will continue Obama’s policies regarding Islam and ISIS will flourish. Or maybe, just maybe, America will wake up from the nightmare and elect a republican.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says

Electing a Republican will only leave the U.S. taxpayer and the Pentagon firmly in the corner of the Jihad. The only mention of Islam thus far in the 2016 presidential campaign was by Rand Paul, who correctly noted that we’re always better off with a dictator running a Dar al-Islam country than a democracy, which is always turns out to be “Islamist.” Paul’s use of “Islamist” is of course a genuflection to the insane notion that the duly elected leaders of an Islamic democracy are hijackers, the logic of which is hard to explain but is always left uncommented by the news entertainer interviewer, in the Rand Paul example Greta Van Susteren, who got her big break as a news entertainer after she appeared for a year as a regular commentator on Geraldo’s nightly “news” orgy during the OJ trial, which tells ya something about the quality of our ruling elites, ha ha.
Jovial Joe says
Highly cynical I know but if the White House knew the rebels were AQI intent on establishing a caliphate which would act as a magnet for jihadists across the globe and yet they sent them arns anyway, kind of makes you wonder if Obama’s withdrawal from Iraq was all part of the same plan to facilitate this goal. Also, as Robert said, the pretense of blaming a video and Clinton’s support for the OIC’s blasphemy initiative might also have been pursued in order to silence any potential objections to the new Islamic order in Iraq. Might there be such a long game at play here or is this whole scenario merely simply paranoia? Obama certainly does nothing to disuade me of the idea.
Baucent says
“The heavily redacted document does not disclose who was shipping the weapons”.
Who was shipping the weapons? My guess is those CIA men from the Annex.
underbed cat says
Listening to c-span an investigation by the House Intelligence Committee,shortly after Benghazi, (maybe Oct. 2012) (I remember hearing a statement from a security person thinking after making numerous requests for added security from the State Dept., that he felt the. the “Taliban was already in the House”, i remember gasping when hearing that comment. it was held by a California Congressman can’t remember his name. Isis? How strange.
underbed cat says
Correction the Congressman’s name was Issa. Sorry for the error it was not intended. I though that he did a good job during the search for information about what happened at Benghazi.
voegelinian says
Darrell Issa is iffy.
See this (from the usually reliable Breitbart news service):
http://www.breitbart.com/california/2014/05/09/darrell-issa-shows-ignorance-of-islam-in-donnelly-kashkari-shariah-controversy/
Given what Breitbart reports, with a name like “Issa” we probably have Middle Eastern Christian dhimmitude afoot here, beyond the mere PC MC that, alas, infects so many Republicans (and more broadly, so many conservatives throughout the West).
underbed cat says
Again I am sorry I wrote isis instead of Issa, my apologies to the Congressman, could a line be put thru the word Isis…I couldn’t remember the spelling of his name. I guess I better be more accurate…and not post so quickly. Again my apologies to Congressman Issa.
Bezelel says
Soooooo 1st I’m not at all surprised at the depth of deceit from 0’s admin. I am disgusted with the joint chiefs for allowing this to go on unchecked and with congress pussy footing in the charade of an investigation but then “what difference does it make now?” PUTRID like the corpses of all the murdered people rotting in the desert.

‘The Man who knew too much’…or, how to assassinate an ambassador…The Movie…
Find the person(s) who ‘heavily redact’ these documents, and put their head in a vice until they confess. The deceit is deep, really deep.
Angemon says
As if we needed more evidence that Obama and Hilary can’t be trusted…
I only have this to say: if Hilary wins the next election, then America is lost. Not just because of her sympathies to jihadis and/or islamic regimes, but because, everything considered, she’ll be elected because she has a vagina, much like Obama was elected because he was not white. If Americans can be guilt-tripped into voting for someone ethically unfit for holding public office, then they’re lost. There’s no coming back from there. Any two-bit parasite can come and bully them around because they’re willing to be bullied – sins of the fathers indeed.
Kepha says
Angemon, I fear you may be right.
If the things mentioned in the article we’re discussing are true, it shows not only the O’s utter deceitfulness, but also Shrillary Shroooo’s utter iincompetence to serve as SecState, much less CinC.
David says
A week or so after the attack on Benghazi I dreamed that Stevens was there to check on obamars gun running to the terrorists called al quads In the attack, he and 3 marines were killed. Hillary and obamers had the knowledge about the attack and then they lied to the American people and the world. He should have been impeached at that time but of coarse these documents were not available to the public. How many more lies are hidden that we don’t know about??
abad says
Obama should be sent off to Iraq.
David, Thailand says
Obama’s stooge, NATO, were able to locate, identify and destroy Qadaffi’s car as he tried to escape from ‘friendly’ rebels. But they couldn’t find several 2,000-truck convoys emptying Qadaffi’s weapons into nearby that were under sympathetic Muslim rule.
America will pay dearly, for a single generation of foolish citizens that placed an America-hating, Jew-hating, white-hating Muslim Socialist into the White House because he was black.
andrew sapia says
History will be very kind to George w Bush. Having won the war after many set backs, only to have victory snatched away by this incompetent fool, who all he had to do was negotiate a status of forces agreement. All the kings horses and all the kings men will not be able to cover for this most unprepared president in US history. Bush will be completely vindicated and O’ Blah Blah will be discovered to be the empty suit he always was.
