We are also learning more about the other violent attacks that took place leading up to 9/11, and the many requests for extra security which were denied by Obama’s State Department. If The Obama administration was as concerned with National Security, and the lives of our people, as they are with campaigning and fundraising with rich liberals and Hollywood stars, they would have had the security personnel in place to stop he 9/11 terrorist attack.
Now Obama will use his power and resources to hide the truth, and coverup the fact that his administration allowed us to be successfully attacked again. People died, and we lost a lot of sensitive material and information looted from our Libya consulate after the attack.
Congressional investigators have issued a subpoena to a former top security official at the US mission in Libya. The official is Lt. Col. Andy Wood, a Utah National Guard Army Green Beret who headed up a Special Forces “Site Security Team” in Libya.
The subpoena compels Lt. Col. Wood to appear at a House Oversight Committee hearing next week that will examine security decisions leading up to the Sept. 11 Muslim extremist terror assault on the U.S. compound at Benghazi. U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three of his colleagues were killed in the attack.
Lt. Col. Wood has told CBS News and congressional investigators that his 16-member team and a six-member State Department elite force called a Mobile Security Deployment team left Libya in August, just one month before the Benghazi assault. Wood says that’s despite the fact that US officials in Libya wanted security increased, not decreased.
Wood says he met daily with Stevens and that security was a constant challenge. There were 13 threats or attacks on western diplomats and officials in Libya in the six months leading up to the September 11 attack.
A senior State Department official told CBS News that half of the 13 incidents before September 11 were fairly minor or routine in nature, and that the Benghazi attack was so lethal and overwhelming, that a diplomatic post would not be able to repel it.
Wood, whose team arrived in February, says he and fellow security officials were very worried about the chaos on the ground. He says they tried to communicate the danger to State Department officials in Washington, D.C., but that the officials denied requests to enhance security.
“We tried to illustrate…to show them how dangerous and how volatile and just unpredictable that whole environment was over there. So to decrease security in the face of that really is… it’s just unbelievable,” Wood said.
The State Department official says there was a “constant conversation” between security details in Libya and officials in Washington D.C.
Sources critical of what they view as a security drawdown say three Mobile Security Deployment teams left Libya between February and August in addition to the 16-member Site Security Team on loan from the military. That’s 34 highly-trained security personnel moved out over a six month period.
One State Department source told CBS News the security teams weren’t “pulled,” that their mission was simply over.
Also scheduled to appear at next week’s hearing are Libya’s former U.S. Regional Security Officer Eric Nordstrom and State Department official Charlene Lamb.
