The United States Denied Direct Access to Benghazi Suspect

!6 F-16's and 200 Abrams Tanks...hahahah in the belly of the beast.
In The Belly Of The Beast
The U.S. has been denied direct access to the only publicly known suspect in custody in connection with the Benghazi terror attack, Fox News has learned, with U.S. interrogators still unable to sit in the same room as the Egypt-held prisoner to ask questions.

Abu Ahmed, also known as Mohammed Jamal, is suspected of establishing Islamist training camps in Eastern Libya where militants who took part in the Sept. 11 Benghazi terrorist attack were able to train.
Ahmed is not suspected of directly taking part in the attack which left four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, dead. But this is at least the second time U.S. interrogators have been denied access to a suspect held by a foreign government.

In January, Tunisian authorities released Ali Ani al-Harzi, who is suspected of taking part in the attack, citing a lack of evidence.  FBI agents finally got access to al-Harzi after the personal intervention of Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Thomas Joscelyn, with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said some of the militants Ahmed helped train “directly took part” in the Benghazi attack.

“As early as 2011, he was setting up training camps inside eastern Libya as early as 2011 … and they were drawing in recruits from around North Africa and Egypt — if you bring them in, train them in terms of how to operate mortars and various types of heavy artillery, and it’s that type of artillery that was used in the attack in Benghazi.”

Joscelyn, who was the first to report the access problem, said he’s been told U.S. officials have asked the Egyptians for access to the suspect but were denied by the Egyptian authorities. “The Egyptians like to control the interrogations and interviews of these suspects for their own reasons and of course the Americans should want access for our purposes as well,” he said.  Neither the CIA nor FBI provided comment on the record about this latest case.

Separately, sources familiar with the case told Fox News that Egyptian authorities have been providing to U.S. authorities information from their own investigation of Ahmed Read Complete Store Here:

U.S. gift of F-16 fighters headed to Egypt, despite Morsi’s Harsh Rhetoric

f16'sFour F-16 fighter jets left the U.S. this morning, bound for Egypt as part of a foreign aid package critics say should have been scrapped when the nation elected a president who has called President Obama a liar and urged that hatred of Jews be instilled in children.
“A source who works on the naval air base in Fort Worth, Texas, confirmed the departure of the state-of-the-art fighter planes to FoxNews.com. Sixteen F-16s and 200 Abrams tanks are to be given to the Egyptian government before the end of the year under a foreign aid deal signed in 2010 with then-Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a longtime U.S. ally.”
Iraqi FreedomCritics, including several in Congress, say it doesn’t make sense to follow through with the package, given that new Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, elected last summer, has given decidedly mixed signals about relations with the U.S. While he has toned down his rhetoric since his election, in 2010 – the same year the aid package was struck – Morsi attacked Obama for supporting Israel.
“It is appalling that the Obama Administration would send F-16s and 200 military tanks to Egypt in the wake of the instability, [and the] anti-American and anti-Israel atmosphere.”
Rep. Louie Gohmert, (R-Texas)

Panetta Calls Congress on Serial Budget Crises

Today Defense Secretary Leon Panetta charged Congress with putting national security at risk by “lurching from budget crisis to budget crisis to budget crisis” in a downward spiral of political gamesmanship aimed at partisan gain.

“My fear is that there is a dangerous and callous attitude developing among some Republicans and Democrats alike that these dangerous cuts can be allowed to take place in order to blame the other party for the consequences,” Panetta said.

At the same time, Panetta applauded President Obama’s recent request to postpone the March 1 deadline for the $1 trillion ($500 billion for defense) in spending cuts known as “sequestration” in return for modest spending cuts and tax reforms.

Panetta derided the Congressional impulse to ‘kick the can down the road” on various budget deadlines but said he supported Obama’s action in urging Congress “to at least pass a smaller package of spending cuts and tax reforms to delay sequestration until a permanent solution is developed.”
In a Georgetown University speech Panetta hit on familiar themes from his two years as Defense Secretary in warning that massive across-the-board cuts would lead to a “hollow” military and devastate training and readiness.

He made no mention of the Pentagon’s plan to extend new benefits to the spouses of gay military personnel, including housing and commissary privileges.
The extension of gay rights in the military, including the scrapping of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, along with the end of the direct ground combat exclusion rule for women, would form two of the mainstays of Panetta’s legacy as the top civilian leader of the Pentagon.

The 74-year-old Panetta was expected to retire to his walnut farm and the Panetta Institute for Public Policy in Monterrey, Calif., as early as next week if former Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) is confirmed by the Senate as his successor.

In what was likely to be his final trip to Capitol Hill, Panetta and Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will face the Senate and House Armed Services Committees on Thursday on the terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

In his Georgetown speech, Panetta outlined what he described as “perhaps the most urgent task facing the nation – and that is overcoming the partisan dysfunction in Congress that poses a threat to our quality of life, our national security, our economy, and our ability to address the problems confronting the nation.”


“It has become too politically convenient to allow crisis to drive the issues,” said Panetta, who served 16 years in the House as a Democrat. “When the crisis gets bad enough, both parties are forced to respond to it. It’s a good way to avoid making tough decisions, because you can blame the crisis for forcing you to do what you have to do.”

“But there is a real price to be paid for this approach,” Panetta said. “You lose the trust of the American people and you create an aura of constant uncertainty that pervades every issue and gradually undermines the credibility of the nation.”

“I don’t think you have to choose between protecting our national security and protecting our fiscal security,” Panetta said. Panetta said he came to office with a deal in place to cut $487 billion from defense over 10 years. The deal was workable with the winding down of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and with the smaller and leaner military planned under Obama’s national defense strategy, Panetta said.
 
But the entire plan would be undermined by the $500 billion in additional cuts that would come with sequestration, Panetta said. Read complete Article:

What I would like to say about the politicians I will not reduce to writing. What I will say is that all of them, Congressional leaders and Hussein Obama are playing this game with the future and security of this country,  and they are literally going to sink us in a hole that is so deep and so broad that we will be unable to recover. They are allowing the military budget to be cut to the bone which includes pay and benefit to active and retired soldiers. And makes no mention of the Pentagon’s plan to extend new benefits to the spouses of gay military personnel, including housing and commissary privileges.  

What pisses me off is that politicians care about one thing…….”THEMSELVES”  If they genuinely cared about this country there would be no bickering. They would look at the financial crisis as a crisis that needed to be solved everyone on both sides work for the common good of America, and the common good of the American people, and above all our veterans, who have kept this country free.   What I see coming out of Congress makes me cringe, there is not but a handful of congressional leaders that are worth their weight  in salt.

If there are cuts to be made, how about cutting these worthless chucks of flesh!!

The Obama 6

MBI have written several times about Obama’s contact with the Muslim Brotherhood within the White House, I believed it then I believe it even more today.  I believe that Obama is sympathetic  to the causes of the Muslim Brotherhood and will do whatever he can behind the scenes to facilitate their movement.

In an article published by the Investigative Project on Terrorism on 13 January outlines what I and many others believe to be the real truth about Hussein Obama.   I am going to publish this article in it’s entirety, read it carefully and form your own opinion.

by John Rossomando  •  Jan 3, 2013 at 1:10 pm
An Egyptian magazine claims that six American Islamist activists who work with the Obama administration are Muslim Brotherhood operatives who enjoy strong influence over U.S. policy.
The Dec. 22 story published in Egypt’s Rose El-Youssef magazine (read an IPT translation here) suggests the six turned the White House “from a position hostile to Islamic groups and organizations in the world to the largest and most important supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood.”
The story is largely unsourced, but its publication is considered significant in raising the issue to Egyptian readers.

The six named people include: Arif Alikhan, assistant secretary of Homeland Security for policy development; Mohammed Elibiary, a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council; Rashad Hussain, the U.S. special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference; Salam al-Marayati, co-founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC); Imam Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA); and Eboo Patel, a member of President Obama’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships.

Alikhan is a founder of the World Islamic Organization, which the magazine identifies as a Brotherhood “subsidiary.” It suggests that Alikhan was responsible for the “file of Islamic states” in the White House and that he provides the direct link between the Obama administration and the Arab Spring revolutions of 2011.

Elibiary, who has endorsed the ideas of radical Muslim Brotherhood luminary Sayyid Qutb, may have leaked secret materials contained in Department of Homeland Security databases, according to the magazine. He, however, denies having any connection with the Brotherhood.
Elibiary also played a role in defining the Obama administration’s counterterrorism strategy, and the magazine asserts that Elibiary wrote the speech Obama gave when he told former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to leave power but offers no source or evidence for the claim.

According to Rose El-Youssef, Rashad Hussain maintained close ties with people and groups that it says comprise the Muslim Brotherhood network in America. This includes his participation in the June 2002 annual conference of the American Muslim Council, formerly headed by convicted terrorist financier Abdurahman Alamoudi.

He also participated in the organizing committee of the Critical Islamic Reflection along with important figures of the American Muslim Brotherhood such as Jamal Barzinji, Hisham al-Talib and Yaqub Mirza.
Regarding al-Marayati, who has been among the most influential Muslim American leaders in recent years, the magazine draws connections between MPAC in the international Muslim Brotherhood infrastructure.

Magid heads ISNA, which was founded by Brotherhood members, was appointed by Obama in 2011 as an adviser to the Department of Homeland Security. The magazine says that has also given speeches and conferences on American Middle East policy at the State Department and offered advice to the FBI.
Rose El-Youssef says Patel maintains a close relationship with Hani Ramadan, the grandson of Brotherhood founder Hasan al-Banna, and is a member of the Muslim Students Association, which it identifies as “a large Brotherhood organization.”

The American people were sucked into and sold a bill of goods about Barack Hussein Obama without knowing the complete truth about this man, but how can you or we continue to ignore the truth when it is staring you in the face, yet no one including Congress lifts a finger to do anything about it.
If this country falters and collapses, and we will have no one to blame but us and the people that voted this man into office.
