Administration knew about gun
running, knew attack was planned, not spontaneous, knew rise of ISIS was a
threat
(Infowars) – Judicial Watch has
obtained and released documents today that conclusively prove that the Obama
administration lied and engaged in spin over the Benghazi attack on the US
consulate on September 11, 2012.
Fox News reported on the
documents, obtained via FOIA request, noting that they reveal three key facts.
1.The US had full knowledge of
gun running from Benghazi to Syria before the attack. 2. The Obama government
knew shortly after the fact that the attack was planned at least 10 days in
advance, deliberately to coincide with 9/11, and was in retaliation for a drone
strike that killed an al Qaeda strategist. 3. The rise of ISIS and the
establishment of a caliphate was predicted by US intelligence in 2012.
The three facts are key,
because they reveal that the Obama administration lied and deliberately
attempted to spin the facts concerning the Benghazi attack, during which four
Americans were murdered. “The Obama administration says it was a coincidence
that [the Benghazi attack] occurred on 9/11. In fact, their intelligence said
it wasn’t a coincidence, and in fact, specifically the attack occurred because
it was 9/11,”
Judicial Watch President Tom
Fitton said. A Defense Intelligence Agency memo dated Sept. 16, 2012, and
shared with the National Security Council, the State Department and the CIA,
stated that “The intention was to attack the consulate and to kill as many
Americans as possible to seek revenge for the [U.S.] killing of Aboyahiye
(Alaliby) in Pakistan and in memorial of the 11 September 2001 attacks on the
World Trade Center buildings.”
Despite this knowledge, the
President and countless administration officials lied and said that the attack
was a spontaneous response to a viral YouTube video about the Prophet Muhammad.
Another DIA memo from around the same time predicted the rise of radical
militants who would eventually form ISIS. This information was disseminated in
intelligence circles almost a year and a half before Obama played down the
extremist threat, referring to ISIS as the “jay-vee” squad. A third DIA memo,
dated Oct. 5, 2012, conclusively proves US intelligence agencies were fully
aware weapons were being transferred from Libya to Syria before the attack, a
fact that Hillary Clinton denied having any knowledge of under oath. Clinton
was questioned by Senator Rand Paul about the gun running program in January
2013, more than three months after the DIA memo was issued.
Clinton told Paul “I do not know. I don’t have
any information on that.” when Paul, rightly as it turns out, accused the Obama
administration of running guns to Syrian rebels.
Yesterday, Paul again repeated
sentiments that Clinton’s role in Benghazi attack should “forever preclude
her” from running for the presidency.
As highlighted in the Fox News piece, former
CIA Director Mike Morell recently dodged questions about the gun running,
saying he “Can’t talk about it,” but suggesting that CIA agents were tracking
the movement of weapons, and that the US government was supporting the program.

Smoking
gun! Hillary knew Benghazi attack planned 10 days in advance Defense memos described terrorist plans 'to
kill as many Americans as possible' by Leo Hohmann WND
Judicial Watch has obtained previously classified documents from
the U.S. Department of Defense and the Department of State revealing that DOD
almost immediately reported that the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi,
Libya, was planned and carried out by al-Qaida and Muslim Brotherhood-linked
terrorists.
A federal court ordered the government hand over more than 100
pages of previously secret documents that showed then-Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton and other senior Obama officials were given reports within
hours of the Sept. 11, 2012, attack. In those memos, the DOD described details
of a plan 10 days in advance “to kill as many Americans as possible.”
The plans for attack had nothing to do with a provocative YouTube
video by an obscure filmmaker, which the administration repeatedly blamed for
the attacks.
They had everything to do with terrorists from the “Brigades of
the Captive Omar Abdul Rahman,” the so-called “Blind Sheikh.”
Rahman 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 rebels trying to bring down the government
of Bashar Assad in 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 memos show the Obama administration knew about ISIS plans to
establish a caliphate in Iraq and Syria several months before the November 2012
election.
Two-and-a-half years after the attack, Judicial Watch was finally
able to obtain the memos by suing in federal court.
“The Obama administration says it was a coincidence that [the
Benghazi attack] occurred on 9/11. In fact, their intelligence said it wasn’t a
coincidence, and in fact, specifically the attack occurred because it was
9/11,” said Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, the Washington, D.C.-based
watchdog agency.
The documents were released in response to a court order in
accordance with a May 15, 2014, Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, lawsuit
filed against both the Department of Defense 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.”
A Defense Department document from the Defense Intelligence
Agency, or DIA, dated Sept. 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
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.)
“These documents are jaw-dropping. No wonder we had to file more
FOIA lawsuits and wait over two years for them,” said Fitton. “If the American
people had known the truth – that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other top
administration officials knew that the Benghazi attack was an al-Qaeda
terrorist attack from the get-go – and yet lied and covered this fact up – Mitt
Romney might very well be president. And why would the Obama administration
continue to support the Muslim Brotherhood even after it knew it was tied to
the Benghazi terrorist attack and to al Qaeda? These documents also point to
connection between the collapse in Libya and the ISIS war – and confirm that
the U.S. knew remarkable details about the transfer of arms from Benghazi to
Syrian jihadists. These documents show that the Benghazi cover-up has continued
for years and is only unraveling through our independent lawsuits. The Benghazi
scandal just got a whole lot worse for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.”
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, RPGs 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 the opposition
in Syria was driven by al-Qaida 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.”
From a separate lawsuit, the State Department produced a document
created the morning after the Benghazi attack by Hillary Clinton’s offices, and
the Operations Center in the Office of the Executive Secretariat that was sent
widely through the agency, including to Joseph McManus (then-Hillary Clinton’s
executive assistant). At 6 a.m., a few hours after the attack, the top office
of the State Department sent a “spot report” on the “Attack on U.S. Diplomatic
Mission in Benghazi” that makes no mention of videos or demonstrations:
“Four COM personnel were killed and three were wounded in an
attack by dozens of fighters on the U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi
beginning approximately 1550 Eastern Time …”
The State Department has yet to turn over any documents from the
secret email accounts of Hillary Clinton and other top State Department
officials.
