"......Clinton has to have known what Charlene Lamb -- her head of embassy security -- knew during the attack. (Lamb testified at a 10 October congressional hearing that she was in real-time contact with the consulate during the attack.) So must have Petraeus, because his CIA operators -- former SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glenn Doherty among them -- were making the pleas for assistance and asking permission to rush to the consulate's defense. ....."

President Obama was apparently so fearful of offending some Islamic mob that he preferred to let our people be killed than send a couple of F-18s from Sigonella to Benghazi.

This. Strip away all the clutter. Strip away all the obfuscation and this, this is the bottom line. This is the sum total of Obama's motive and reason for making the decision to act.

Go back and look at my posts from many days ago, I have long held that team Obama made a conscience decison not to act because he valued the lives and feelings of the Islamists over that of Americans.

...the fact that one or more drones were over the consulate during the attack...

What I'd like to know is where that drone (or drones) came from? Why was it already over the consulate? I'm no expert, but I would bet you they don't just have a bunch of drones sitting around at alert-5. Even if they "just happened" to have a drone ready, I don't think you just take off and fly it around like your model airplane. It seems to me that it would take some planning - like a real flight plan, deconfliction with other assets in the air, maybe even permission from the host Country or at least permission from far up our chain of command to violate their airspace... Then you'd have to have the comms set up, channels to bring the video, stills, elint, whatever back and record and secure it properly. Then it would take some time in ingress from where ever the drone was based...

The upshot of this is, that drone didn't "just happen" to be in the neighborhood. Someone knew there was a high probability of something happening and tasked that asset to cover it well in advance. Yet these same people, somewhere up there in obama-land, possibly even hussein himself, intentionally did not improve security for this same anticipated event.

Someone needs to go to prison for life, or face a firing squad for this. They intentionally left our people hanging in the face of the enemy.

This cover up simply could not continue without the willing cooperation and ongoing participation of the corrupt, evil MSM.

We all know - all of us - that if this had occurred under a Republican administration, especially if they had an opportunity to influence an election, the corrupt MSM would be working feverishly to uncover exactly what happened. There would be wall-to-wall media coverage.

The MSM is totally corrupt and evil. Even the lives of an American ambassador is expendable if it helps them cover for Obama and their Democrat brethren.

News report based on several sources, the people under attack pled with the CIA for help three times during the attack and all three pleas were refused. Team Obama did nothing to save their lives.

This should piss every red blooded America off to no end! If Obama was next to me I'd feel like spitting in this LOSER'S face. I probably wouldn't do it, but ONLY out of respect for the presidency. No matter WHAT Obama did or did not do, HE is RESPONSIBLE for this because he had the command power to save these lives and did NOTHING! If he gave the 3 directives he stated he gave, then he would have had to NOT FOLLOW UP on them! For 7 hours this PRICK did NOTHING! That's a slam dunk for the MSM, but those losers are no where to be found either!

The accuracy of the Fox report is easily derived from other facts.

Yeah, and these COWARD SCUMBAG in the Obama adm are denying they didn't give any stand down orders! And won't tell us who did! Well somebody did, and I as a citizen of these United States will not rest until I get a straight answer from this gov't! Somebody has to pursue these informational FACTS and someone in this Obama adm HAS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THOSE 4 DEATHS! It was a tragedy these four men were ABANDONED and died!

If I was in the military or working for the Gov't right now I would be LIVIDLY POed at Obama! I am seething!!!

Panetta: " "You don't deploy forces into harm's way without knowing what's going on, without having some real-time information about what's taking place."

Now we know that to be a lie because they had "real-time" email, voice comms, and even a drone overhead. But say that were true, consider the following:

1. No matter how good the intel, our combatants can never be sure of the outcome when going into a hostile situation. The fact we have little to ZERO intel where IED's are placed on roadways in theater is one example. There are always countless other unknowns - think about a simple patrol in a town and how often our Troops are ambushed or how we recently lost some 20 SEALS and others from one raghead with an RPG. Where was the intel on those?
2. It is the responsibility of the Armed Forces to deal with such uncertainty, even with the best of intel. That's there damn purpose...to risk there lives for the mission.
3. Even as "cold war" sailor, I knew that sh*t happens and could have been blown out of the water at anytime by a Russian submarine even with all our counter measures.
4. Tell the SEALS, Delta, Rangers, Marine Recon, Air Force ground air controllers, not to mention the regular infantry grunt, they shouldn't bother because there is no guarantee they will come home alive or whole.
4. Yes, there is "fog of war". So then I guess we should never engage unless sure of the outcome.

Does Panetta think every military operation has perfect intel which can predict a positive casualty free outcome? Tell that to the countless troops who have come home dead or limbless! Sheesh! What a lame excuse. I would bet there are countless military that would have joined the fight no matter what the intel to save an Ambassador of the USA.

I may be wrong, but send in whatever assets no matter how far and at least attempt to help no matter the outcome. And this idea of not sending in aircraft to at least strafe the area in fear of killing civilians is abhorrent to me. When did we start letting our Ambassadors die in fear that some stupid civilians in the area may get killed? Oh right, September 11, 2012. That kind of mentality would have lost us WWII.

Last thought: The idea that we shouldn't intrude on Libyan air space is a joke. Obambi had no problem with sending in bombers to assist the great Arab Spring in Libya.

End really pis*ed off rant.
