Like what?
It’s the LA LA Times!
They picked up the phone and said “Hello?”
So they “stood down”.
Really? Fully engaged (parsing for the WH situation room)? I thought the WH didn't know what what was going on in real time? What assistance was provided? Am I missing something here? Of course not. CYA for this "intelligence official".
So, according to this report, he is implying that military resources were activated, as we all know they weren't. This guy needs to hang with the rest of those responsible for not attempting a rescue of our Ambassador.
“U.S. says CIA responded within 25 minutes to Benghazi attack”
It took that long for them to change their underpants...
Are these guys kidding?
I’m sure they had a mean Powerpoint presentation on station in no time at all.
We now know that this was not a true embassy/consulate in Benghazi. This was a CIA led guns/arms running scheme to the rebels in Libya. They used the cover of a bogus consulate. Stevens was an integral part of the gun running which put heavy weapons and antiaircraft missiles in the hands of Al Qaeda and other radical Islamists groups. Obama approved the gun/arms running knowing that these heavy weapons could potentially be used against Americans. No assistance was provided to the Americans in Benghazi because if we had gone in with assets like drone strikes or other platforms and killed innocent Libyans, the truth would have come out about our gun running. IMHO.
I think the article plays with the ‘facts’ and times to try to clear Obama. That or it’s just poorly written.
They didn’t seem to have a problem making the apology video shown in Pakistan blaming the “anti-islamic Video” for the “riot”. Was this before or after they “had all the information”.
liar
LLS
The LA Times like the NYT and all MSM have become irrelevant.
Conservative websites are the winners and the truth cannot be hidden from or spun to the masses anymore.
Fox News is shaking the bushes to see what falls out. If the CIA did respond, who didn’t? It’s getting close to finding the culprits who wanted Ambassador Stevens dead.
Does anyone remember Ron Brown?
Just what we need another person to fall on their sword.
So why was an Admiral and a General replaced when they tried to send in help???? Hmmmm??? The media seem very quiet about this.
You had an ambassador and communication professional (Smith) who were guarded by the ‘February 17th Martyrs Brigade’.
Were they trafficking heavy arms to Syria? Probably. We’re they doing something hinky? Definitely.
Was what they were doing likely the province of the CIA? Most definitely.
Had people, including Stevens, raised alarm bells about the lack of security? Yup!
Was the CIA looking in on outright incompetence, while literally within earshot of rifle fire? Yes!
This all display Obama’s ideology, long held paranoia and bias world view. I’m sure Obama and his people thought what Steven’s was doing was sexy, because it was risky. Of coarse, a leftist can’t trust rank and file CIA, right? The CIA killed Che, Obama’s hero, Obama is the self styled Che of the new Islamic caliphate.
Again, you can’t trust the CIA, that is until your getting your ass shot off in a third world hell hole and your leftist party friends leave you for dead.
Stevens and Smith were expendable to Obama, but they weren’t expendable to Woods and Doherty.
There is enough BS in this story to fertilize every single American home garden for the next year!!!
