An urgent request from CIA personnel to be allowed to go to the aid of the U.S. Consulate in Libya during the Sept. 11 attack was denied by U.S. officials, despite the fact that the team, which included at least one Navy SEAL, was only one mile away.

The officials twice told CIA officers to “stand down” rather than help the Americans when shots were heard in Benghazi.

Fox News reports that sources on the ground said that former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team at a CIA annex near the consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack.

Stevens and three other Americans died in the attack.

When Woods and others heard the shots fired about 9:40 p.m., Fox reports, they notified their supervisors at the annex and requested permission to head to the consulate to help.

But the supervisors told them to “stand down,” sources familiar with the exchange told Fox. Moments later, they were told the same.

Woods and at least two others, however, ignored the orders and moved toward the consulate, which by then was engulfed in flames, Fox reports.

Shots were exchanged and the rescue team from the CIA annex evacuated those who remained at the consulate, including the body of Sean Smith, the Foreign Service Information Management Officer who had been killed in the initial attack.

The rescue team could not find Stevens, returning to the CIA annex at about midnight, Fox reports.

At that point, the CIA team called again for military support and help, because shots were being fired where they were at the annex. The request was denied, Fox reports.

The new revelations will be aired in full in a Fox News special on Saturday at 1 p.m. Eastern time.

In response to the report, CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Youngblood said the CIA “reacted quickly to aid our colleagues during that terrible evening in Benghazi.”

She added: “Moreover, no one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate.”

President Barack Obama said repeatedly Friday that his administration would “find out what happened” and punish those responsible, but he twice ducked questions about whether U.S. officials denied requests for help.

“We’re going to gather all the facts, find out exactly what happened, and make sure that it doesn’t happen again, but we’re also going to make sure we bring to justice those who carried out these attacks,” Obama said in an interview with Denver television station KUSA.

Fox News says there were no communications problems at the annex, according to those present at the compound. There was continuous radio contact between the team and headquarters, with at least one member of the CIA team on the roof of the annex with a heavy machine gun when mortars were fired at the CIA compound.

The security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up from a Spectre gunship, Fox reports. The gunship is commonly used by U.S. Special Operations forces to support Special Operations teams on the ground involved in intense firefights.

The fighting at the CIA annex went on for more than four hours, which provided enough time for planes based in Sigonella Air base on the Italian island of Sicily — about 480 miles away — to arrive.

Two separate Tier One Special operations forces also were told to wait, among them Delta Force operators, Fox reports.

This chain of events apparently counters remarks from Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Thursday, who told reporters at the Pentagon that U.S. officials lacked a clear picture of what was occurring on the ground in Benghazi to send help.

“There’s a lot of Monday morning quarterbacking going on here,” Panetta said on Thursday. “But the basic principle here … is that you don’t deploy forces into harm’s way without knowing what’s going on.”

U.S. officials have said that there was a period of several hours when the fighting stopped before the mortars were fired at the annex, leading officials to believe the attack was over.

Vatic Note: Just so you know, the Title goes with the article below, however, if I had written it I would change the title from “Obama …. pulls ….. ” to read “Hillary at the orders of the Israeli’s pulls …. ” The first thing we have to remember, is the anomolies that tell us the truth is buried deep and the official story, just like 9-11, smells like rotted carcases in the afternoon desert sun. There is a list of these anomolies and this below is the coup de grace to the official story. The incompetence in pulling this off, speaks volumes about the cackling witch of Sodom and Gomorrah. She is way over her head in all of this assassination business and cover up.

Here are the anomolies….
1. The town this was suppose to occur in did not have any US offices there, no consulate, no embassy, no protectorate, at least none officially listed in government records.
2. The news story said those remaining security had no ammo supplies. Yet an article just before the killing of the ambassador showed McCain showed up to deliver ammo, and money to the rebels. Yet they pulled security for the ambassador? How come?
3. He was resisting the plan to create choas and violence so that war could break out. He was unhappy that McCain came to do what he did.
4. The powers that be said this was done by Al Qaeda. Gee, a recent headlines said that Hitlary was sending $ 45 billion of our tax dollars to “Al Qaeda”…. excuse me, didn’t they just supposedly kill our ambassador? And she is sending them millions???
5. The ambassador had been begging for increased security and instead had most of his security pulled.
6. He was sodomized by the rebels, well, the khazars are pagans and are only 1 of 7 cultures that worships the phallic symbol. That is evident by their control of the porno industry, penis enhancement businesses, and why pedophiling and other sodomizing acts have been well know to have been done by them. Remember, they also sodomized Ghadaffi. That is not an ARAB act, that is a khazar act. Read their Babylonian Talmud and see for yourselves.

Now this below seals it. This was a false flag using our own seasoned and well respected Ambassador as a sacrificial lamb for their perverted insane agenda. These are sick puppies and Nuremberg trials would be too good for them. I have to say, that until I started doing this research and this blog, I truly did not understand what true unadulterated evil was. I do now.

Ahmed Deif, a policy advisor to Egypt’s president-elect Mohamed Morsi, stressed that Morsi will be a leader for all Egyptians and will appoint Coptic Christian and female vice-presidents.

“President-elect Morsi is not only backed by people with an Islamic tendency or ideology; he is now backed by all the people of the revolution, and this is definitely a dramatic positive card that he can play while negotiating with the SCAF,” Deif told CNN.

“One of the first decisions will be appointing different vice-presidents. One of them will be a woman, for the first time in Egyptian history – not just modern history, but all Egyptian history, for a woman to take that position.

“Also, he has decided to appoint a Christian vice-president, and they will not just be a vice-president who will represent a certain gender or sect, but a vice-president who is powerful and empowered and will deal with critical files within the presidential cabinet.”

In his last news conference before the presidential runoff vote, Morsi took the opportunity to reiterate his promises to Egypt’s political forces, and said the country would not be run by an autocratic president.

He stressed that the presidency would work together with young revolutionaries, former presidential candidates, Copts, Salafists and all the sectors of the Egyptian people.

Morsi, who was declared president-elect on Sunday after narrowly beating his rival Ahmed Shafiq, also said women will play a major role in society.

BEIRUT — The United Nations’ decision to suspend its observer mission in Syria could increase pressure on Syrian President Bashar Assad to comply with a faltering U.N. peace plan that many view as a last chance to avoid all-out civil war in the strife-torn Middle Eastern nation.

But the observer pullback announced Saturday could also put pressure on Russia, whose alliance with Assad has led to increasing tension with Washington. Moscow helped craft the peace initiative and is determined to keep it alive, knowing that its failure could accelerate demands for harsher international action.

The U.N. cited escalating violence in its decision to suspend the monitoring mission, a crucial component of special U.N. envoy Kofi Annan’s plan.

The suspension of the observer mission — and the possibility that Annan’s entire effort may be on the verge of collapse — may also be a blunt message to Assad, who Annan has said has the “first responsibility” to implement the peace process.

Few independent Syria-watchers believe that Assad could withdraw his troops and armor from populated areas and allow nonviolent protests, both mandates in the peace plan, and still hold on to power in the deeply divided nation of 23 million.

At the same time, the Annan plan has become somewhat of a lifeline for Assad, his autocratic rule threatened by a 15-month uprising that has cost more than 10,000 lives and gutted Syria’s economy.

It has allowed his backers to argue, however unconvincingly, that Damascus is amenable to a peaceful, internationally brokered truce and transition to a more representative government. The plan has provided some international cover for the Assad administration, despite widespread condemnation of his crackdown.

The Syrian opposition, always wary of the peace proposal, has insisted that Assad was only buying time and had no intention of implementing the plan beyond its initial, relatively painless, steps: agreeing to the presence of the U.N. observers, releasing some prisoners, granting visas to some foreign journalists and allowing humanitarian access to conflict zones.

Russia, which has twice led vetoes of U.N. Security Council resolutions denouncing Assad’s crackdown, is frantically seeking to rescue the effort. Moscow wants to convene an international conference on the plan, but Washington has balked at its insistence that Iran, another close ally of Assad, be invited.

The plan has the firm backing of the Obama administration and its European and Arab allies. However, that alliance’s stated goal — the ouster of Assad — is not part of the plan, which vaguely calls instead for “an inclusive Syrian-led political process to address the legitimate aspirations and concerns of the Syrian people.”

Washington and its allies seem to have adopted a strategy of sticking publicly with the plan until what many regarded as its inevitable failure. At that point, pressure would presumably mount on Moscow to support stiffer U.N.-backed action against Assad’s government.

“We think it is important for us to give Kofi Annan and his plan the last amount of support that we can muster, because, in order to bring others into a frame of mind to take action in the Security Council, there has to be a final recognition that it’s not working,” Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said recently.

Earlier in the month, in Stockholm, Clinton said she had informed Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov that Assad’s departure was not a “precondition,” but “it should be an outcome” of any Syria plan.

U.S. officials have been seeking to enlist Russia’s support for an internationally backed “transition” blueprint for a new government in Syria. The working model is the plan that resulted in the departure of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh after a year of protests.

Moscow, however, has said it would support only a proposal backed by the Syrian people and has publicly denied working on any kind of transition steps for the Syrian leadership. Moscow remains opposed to military intervention in Syria, regarding Western-led operations aimed at changing leadership such as those in Libya and Iraq as dubious exercises that cost Russia allies and increased global instability.

Insurgents and Syrian forces alike have violated the U.N. cease-fire, and diplomats have been unable to craft an alternative that would avert what many fear could be a sectarian-tinged bloodbath that could spread beyond Syria’s borders and destabilize the volatile region. There is no other plan on the table.

In a statement Saturday, Maj. Gen. Robert Mood, who heads the U.N. mission, cited “an intensification of armed violence across Syria over the past 10 days” that was raising the death toll and posing “significant risk” to the unarmed monitors.

“The lack of willingness by the parties to seek a peaceful transition, and the push toward advancing military positions, is increasing the losses on both sides,” the Norwegian general declared. “Innocent civilians, men, women and children, are being killed every day.”

The observers will remain in Syria, and the U.N. left open the possibility that patrols and other operations could resume if the situation allowed.

The observers have been unable to stop the violence in Syria, though there was a lull when they arrived six weeks ago.

The monitors, however, have provided independent verification of the turmoil and carnage in Syria. Late last month, the U.N. team confirmed reports of a massacre of more than 100 civilians, mostly women and children, in the town of Houla, an event that drew international outrage.

The almost 300-member observer team has had several close calls: Monitors have been shot at, attacked by a pro-government mob and at least twice had roadside bombs go off near their vehicles. The U.N. has reported no casualties among the observers, who are drawn from 60 member nations.

On Saturday, Syria gave no hint that the observer pullback would prompt Assad to make concessions on the peace plan. Instead, state media said the suspension in observer operations was caused by violence by “armed terrorist groups,” the government’s characterization of rebels seeking to topple Assad.

The Syrian opposition has generally viewed Annan’s plan as an opportunity for Assad to string out his rule.

“The observers didn’t succeed in decreasing the level of violence; however, they managed to document the massacres in a professional, unbiased way and to present it to the U.N. and international community in a realistic picture,” Malik Kurdi, deputy commander of the rebel Free Syrian Army, said by telephone Saturday from Turkey.

He said arming the opposition was now the only option: “There is no hope with this regime.”
