The US consulate in Benghazi that came under attack by militants on September 11 was mainly a secret CIA operation, shedding new light on the deadly assault.

The Wall Street Journal said the consulate was being used as a CIA operation, adding that of the 30 American officials evacuated from Benghazi following the assault, just seven worked for the State Department.

It also identified the two security contractors killed in the attack – former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty – as working for the Central Intelligence Agency and not the State Department.

In a break from tradition, it said CIA Director David Petraeus did not attend the ceremony when the coffins arrived back on American soil in order to conceal the CIA operation in eastern Libya.

What a totally false title. The CIA never admitted to having a role in the attack. That is grotesquely misleading. It has been acknowledged the CIA was interacting with the Ambassador. Nothing unusally about that.
 
The CIA also admitted to playing a key role in the assassination of a US president and other political figures

I dont see why anyone would be surprised at links to terrorist acts perpetrated on US soil and abroad

Wake up People - the CIA acts on behalf of its corporate masters - its a very effective cirminal instrument
 
Sorry. "Senior US official" doesn't mean a thing to me. Until an official government statement is issued everything is speculation.The CIA hasn't admitted to anything.

Glen Dohtery was CIA in Yemen as well.

23 of the Staffers were CIA.. only 7 worked for the state dept.
 
I think people overestimate the Presidents power in these cases. A simple matter like providing more security for an embassy would never fall on the presidents lap would it?

He's the CIC. Therefore, he's the guy that takes repsonsibility. You're an old soldier; you're very much familiar with the, "burden of command".

I accept he would take repsonsibility for it which I thought he did in the debate but what im asking is was he actually responisble for it? Did that order land on his lap?

So, Glenn Beck's source got it right.

He should have been given a sit-rep and had some general knowledge of the situation on the ground. That fact that he had know clue is troubling.

but would you say thats all Obamas fault?

Yes, it is. Just like a battalion commander how doesn't have any control over his company commanders.

How does the saying go? "A leader is responsible for the conduct of the men under his command". I'm sure you're familiar with that.

On the same token do you hold a member of the Joint Chiefs responsible when a soldier commits an offense or some transgression?

If that soldier is under his direct command, as the state department is under Obama's direct control, sure.

See how "command responsibility" works?

Sure, but typically the responsibility levied is somewhat proportional to the degree of separation. I would hold a battalion commander more responsible for the behavior of his company commanders than I would for the behavior of a squad leader in one of those companies. And that battalion commander would bear more responsibility for the behavior of that squad leader than would the brigade commander.

POTUS is in charge of millions of employees, both civilian and military. Every day, hell, perhaps every hour, at least one of them is breaking the law or committing some other grievous offense. We have to use some common sense in apportioning blame to those in the chain of command.

And, as I pointed out, the state department is under his direct control. Biden has already admitted that Obama didn't have a clue about what was going on. Big problem, there.

That's like saying the POTUS is responsible for that soldier because the Department of Defense is under his direct control. While not as big as DoD, State is also a huge bureaucracy.

Is Obama responsible for ANYTHING? Hear the bots tell it, nothing is his fault.

Of course he is. And I am not a bot. He didn't earn my vote this time around. But if I followed this same principle of apportioned responsibility with Bush then I have to follow it with Obama as well. Only parisan hacks hold double standards.

I don't particularly like the President, and I plan on voting for Romney, but I find this line of reasoning troubling. Why would the President be personally culpable for the activities of someone so many degrees of separation removed from him? At any time there are millions of agents of the United States government operating all over the world. I do not hold the President responsible for the issues of a fire-base in Khost because the DoD is under his command, I hold him responsible for matters of policy on a broader level.

That being said it is the President's responsibility to take control of any mishaps that arise and correct them because the buck stops at his desk. But it doesn't mean it's his personal fault that the buck started rolling in the first place.

by your reasoning every soldier is under the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and therefore he is responsible for everything every soldier does.

Makes sense to me if it does to you.

I assume that a retired CIA agent provides sufficient testimony

(in any case, you only need to examine how the cover up of autopsies and forensic evidence occurred to infer the involvement of high office and the CIA - it is no secret. But alas, the official story is still One sole gunmen from one location with a very strange bullet trajectory that was based upon Quantum mechanics rather than ballistic dynamics - until the USA deals with the assassination honestly, it cannot go forward as a nation, it will remain a fascist corpocracy)

BINGO!

The Agency was in the dope business when I was a young man in Southeast Asia.

Cocaine Importing Agency might be a better name for them.
