Graham: Obama Knew of Benghazi Threat, Acted ‘After Everybody Was Dead’

/7 Comments/in , /by

President Barack Obama was aware of two IED attacks on the Benghazi consulate in Libya in the months leading up the the Sept. 11 attack that killed U. S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham claims.

The South Carolina Republican said James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, told him the president was informed of attacks in April and June, Fox News reports.

The June attack blew a hole in the perimeter wall of the Benghazi compound, and the two strikes were reportedly part of dozens of incidents in the region that are considered warning signs of the deadly attacks in September.

Graham criticized Obama for a White House statement saying the president did not talk to Libya’s leader until the evening of Sept. 12, a day after the embassy was attacked.

“(He talked) after everybody was dead,” said Graham, suggesting Obama could have made a difference if he’d been involved earlier, but “you got a commander in chief who is absolutely disengaged. You got the secretary of State never talking to the secretary of Defense.” Graham’s disclosure came after several Capitol Hill hearings in which several top administration officials, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed they were not aware of the security problems at the Libyan compound.

Video: Senator Graham Exposes Military Leaders On Benghazi Response

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham grilled Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, and Joint Chiefs General Dempsey on the President’s involvement, or lack thereof.

Apparently, Senior Military Leaders only spoke with the President one time for a period of about 30 minutes. According to this Senate testimony, the President never made further inquiry about the status of the Consulate, or State Department personnel, until after the fact.

Graham also exposed the fact that there was no military response whatsoever during the 7-8 hour siege of the Consulate in Benghazi.

This is an extremely important piece of the Benghazi puzzle, and the senator should be applauded for bringing this information out.

Senator Lindsey Graham alleges on “Face the Nation” yesterday that the Obama Administration knew within twenty-four hours that the Benghazi attack was terrorism.

He went on to say that the Administration deliberately misled the United States people or is “incredibly incompetent.”

Graham also talks about the myriad of leaks from the Administration on other foreign policy issues, solely to make Obama look good. He contends this is evidence of Obama’s politicization of foreign policy. He believes the handling of Benghazi has been not different.

Here are Liz Cheney’s comments where she called it the worst cover-up in the “history of the Republic”:
