Last week, on a special episode of 60 Minutes, CBS revealed that the Obama administration knew for months in advance that the attacks on Benghazi of last year were eminent, yet they still chose to do nothing.

Following is the transcript between CBS’s Lara Logan and U.S. Army Green Beret Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Andy Wood. Wood was one of the top American security officials in Libya. He was based in Tripoli and he met with U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens every day. Ambassador Stephens and three other Americans were murdered in the attack. The conversation picks up after Wood tells Logan that the terrorists posted online that they were going to attack the Red Cross, then the British, and then the Americans at Benghazi.

Andy Wood: We had one option: “Leave Benghazi or you will be killed.”

Lara Logan: And you watched as they–

Andy Wood: As they did each one of those.

Lara Logan: –attacked the Red Cross and the British mission. And the only ones left–

Andy Wood: Were us. They made good on two out of the three promises. It was a matter of time till they captured the third one.

Lara Logan: And Washington was aware of that?

Andy Wood: They knew we monitored it. We included that in our reports to both State Department and DOD. I made it known in a country team meeting, “You are gonna get attacked. You are gonna get attacked in Benghazi. It’s gonna happen. You need to change your security profile. Shut down operations. Move out temporarily. Ch– or change locations within the city. Do something to break up the profile because you are being targeted. They are– they are– they are watching you. The attack cycle is such that they’re in the final planning stages.”

Lara Logan: Wait a minute, you said, “They’re in the final planning stages of an attack on the American mission in Benghazi”?

Andy Wood: It was apparent to me that that was the case. Reading, reading all these other, ah, attacks that were occurring, I could see what they were staging up to, it was, it was obvious.

We have learned the U.S. already knew that this man, senior al Qaeda leader Abu Anas al-Libi was in Libya, tasked by the head of al Qaeda to establish a clandestine terrorist network inside the country. Al-Libi was already wanted for his role in bombing two U.S. embassies in Africa.

So there you have it. Proof, straight from the mouth of a man in charge of security. Obama and Hillary Clinton knew the attack was imminent, yet they still chose to do nothing.
