Benghazi Tar gets Pain ted, Ai r Suppor t Over headObam a Cal l s Of f St r i ke

In piecing together the details of the Benghazi attack up the U.S. consulate, it is becoming clear that thewere U.S. Special Operations forces on the ground, at least two drones overhead and lasers being used t

paint at least one target.

ACCORDING TO THE STATEMENTS FROM FOX NEWS:

The securit y offi cer had a laser on t he target t hat w as fir ing and repeatedly

requested back-up support fr om a Specter gunship

A former Delta operator over at BlackFive writes:

Having spent a good bit of time nursing a GLD (ground Laser Designator) in several garden

spots around the world, something from the report jumped out at me.

One of the former SEALs was actively painting the target. That means that Specter

WAS ON STATION! Probably an AC130U. A ground laser designator is not a briefingpointer laser. You do notpainta target until the weapons system/designator is

synched; which means that the AC130 was on station.

Only two places could have called off the attack at that point; the WH situationcommand (based on POTUS direction) or AFRICOM commander based on informationdirectly from the target area.

If the AC130 never left Sigonella (as Penetta says) that means that the Predator thatwas filming the whole thing was armed.

If that SEAL was activelypaintinga target; something was on station to engage! Andthe decision to stand down goes directly to POTUS!

There is also the issue of the former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods

and a small team that ignored orders to stand down after theyrequested permission to go and help.

Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small

team who was at the CIA annex about a mile fromthe U.S. consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevensand his team came under attack. When he and others

heard the shots fired, they informed their higher-upsat the annex to tell them what they were hearing andrequested permission to go to the consulate and help

out. They were told tostand down,according tosources familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they

were again told tostand down.

Woods and at least two others ignored those orders and made their way to the

consulate which at that point was on fire. Shots were exchanged. The rescue team fromthe CIA annex evacuated those who remained at the consulate and Sean Smith, whohad been killed in the initial attack. They could not find the ambassador and returned to

the CIA annex at about midnight.

Even more disturbing is what BlackFive writes, This is bigger than Watergate!The w orst has t o be

the t eam on t he ground knowing t hat t he President just left you to die.

WHYOBAMALIED AND COVERED-UP BENGHAZI DEATHS

Covert operations require cover stories. We get it. THE CIAWAS WORKING TO RECOVER

WEAPONS THAT WENT TO FACTIONS WHO WANTED TO TOPPLE Gadhafi, BUT WHEN THE GOAL WASACHIEVED, THE ALLIANCE WAS OVER BECAUSE THEY WERE CAUSING THE NEW GOVERNMENT HEART

BURN.LIBYA HAS ALWAYS BEEN VIEWED AS THE BEST HOPE FOR A WESTERN STYLE DEMOCRACY EVEN IF

ITS MADE UP OF SOMEWHAT MORE CONSERVATIVE MUSLIMS.THE MILITIA NETWORK IS AN ISSUE.

THE

MILITANTS WERE PART OF A FACTION WHO FELT DOUBLE-CROSSED.THE EMBASSY ATTACK WAS

RETALIATION.THE ATTACKERS WERE NO LONGER THE FAVORED ONES.

The whybehind the lie is that we shared American weapons with bad guys, theweapons are being run through Libya, and then we killed their leader with a dronestrike using intel we gathered while engaged in one-night-stand-esque relationships.The embassy attack exposed a CIA op that was trying to undo this problem.

Had Woods not evacuated the 6-7 folks from the consulate to the annex, the secondwave attack wouldn't have followed at the CIA annex and the cover story [spontaneous

riots over a YouTube video] could have worked.

Obama administration has been arming jihadists like Abdelhakim Belhadj, leader of the al Qaeda franchisknown as the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group.

Once Moammar Gadhafi was overthrown, Stevens was appointed ambassador to the new Libya run by M

Belhadj and his friends. Not surprisingly, one of the most important priorities for someone in that positiowould be to try to find and secure the immense amount of armaments that had been cached by thedictator around the country and systematically looted during and after the revolution.

One of the places in Libya most awash with such weapons in the most dangerous of hands is Benghazi.

Stevens was there for another priority mission: sending arms recovered from the former regime s stocksthe opposition in Syria. As in Libya, the insurgents are known to include al Qaeda and other Shariah-

supremacist groups, including none other than Abdelhakim Belhadj.

President Obama has been engaged in gun-walking on a massive scale. The effect has been to equipAmericas enemies to wage jihad not only against regimes it once claimed were our friends, but inevitabl

against us and our allies as well.

~~~"[F]alse information was either knowingly disseminated or was directed to be put out by senior policyofficials for political reasons," says Bill Gertz, citing intelligence officials. Some of those alleged "politicalreasons" may have had to do with ridiculous claims about the demise of Al Qaeda and the false promisesof an "Arab Spring," but others may be more deeply buried in an Al Qaeda-linked weapons supply line th

was never supposed to become public.

Public Char ter Schools

BEST REASON TO VOTE YESCharter School Amendment

Judge Wendy Shoob rejected attorney Glenn Delks argument that information about the

amendment amounted to advocacy and thus an unlawful use of tax funds.

Speaking for Gwinnett Schools, attorney Victoria Sweeney said, There is no evidence theyparticipated in an extensive campaign against the amendment." She believes they [school

boards] have a responsibility to speak out on matters of public importance.

We see it time and again where school boards actively support SPLOST taxes, and now

opposition to a ballot question. Both are illegal. Both use our tax dollars to fight against us!

End the monopoly. Vote YES to Amendment 1

Atlanta attorney Glenn Delk said school districts violated the law by posting what he describes as anti-

Attorney General Sam Olens sent a letter to state School Superintendent John Barge, in which Olensordered all local school boards to shut down any opposition to the proposed state constitutionalamendment on charter schools that involves official time or taxpayer funds. Olens ruling applies to schoboards that endorse the measure as well. But by and large, local boards of education, particularly in ruraGeorgia, have been firmly against the November ballot measure. Many have passed resolutions

condemning it.

Georgia Schools Superin tendent John Barge he w ill not seek t o punish local school dist ri ctsaccused of using publi c resources to oppose t he chart er schools consti t ut ional amendm ent .

Great advice from Speaker Pro Tem Jan Jones and State Rep. Alisha Morgan Thomas:

"Weve tried the one size fits all approach to education for decades, and weve had too many

students fall through the cracks. Lets increase the educational options for parents, students andteachers by voting

Yes for public charters on Nov. 6."

There is no reason Georgia citizens should tolerate defiance by the state superintendent or local boardseducation.

Georgias public schools fail to produce results. Why must we reward a flawed system?

2008-2009 four-year public high school graduation rate: 67.8 % 2009 Percentage of students at or above proficient in 4 th grade reading: 29%

Percentage of students at or above proficient in 8th grade math: 27%

There is no reason Georgians should accept the status quo in public education. The entire bureaucrhas proven their fight is about money, not educational standards.

The Citizenasked Brian Strickland for his position on Georgia Charter Schools, Amendment 1 (2012).Brians response is

Since this is on the ballot with me, I have not taken an official stance on the issue. I amtelling people, however, that after doing my research that I

plan to vote for it. As a Legislator, I will work hard to createmore options for parents and, in turn, more competition for ourcurrent model because I believe that challenging the status quo

will improve education for all our of students in the long run.

W hy does the left attract more young people?

Because people start out liberal and grow up to be conservative...and because

Hollywood and academia are leftist propaganda mills. One must think past all

that bombardment to become a conservative...the kind of feat usually reserve
