People were in the process of doing exactly as they were trained and were stopped cold by someone from above.
Everyone was responding to a legitimate incident just as they were supposed to only to be hamstrung by some unknown superior.
Someone wanted to make certain that no US forces would arrive in Benghazi in time to ‘see anything.’
People like Clinton and Panetta say that weren’t sure what was happening.
But there was one thing that was made absolutely clear: Do nothing.
