Is there any doubt who Cummings is protecting?

at least you tried and you have no regrets.

Or you blame it on YouTube and go to bed.

What difference does it make? They have no regrets either way.

Well, the discussion is not in the “could or could not” in relation to time, space and capability — the point is we should have tried. As another saying goes: “Always move to the sound of the guns.”

Probably the first time I would agree with someone from the Air Force, but my question to the General would be: "Why did you not go anyway?" Initiative is action in lieu of orders. He should have launched and said "Damn the torpedoes."

I hadn't heard that the Marine's fast reaction team was required by the State Department to change into civilian clothes before going into Tripoli that night.

This administration makes me sick.

” just do it” sounds like the right thing to me!

“who Cummings is protecting”? given his last performance...hes included himself to the list .

Tripoli rescue team told to stand down.

Hicks: Special Forces ‘Furious’ Upon Being Told to Stand Down video at link

"According to Benghazi whistleblower Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission in Libya, special forces were “furious” when they were told to stand down during the Benghazi attack. “I will quote Lieutenant Colonel Gibson,” Hicks told the House Oversight Committee in hearings today, “He said, ‘This is the first time in my career that a diplomat has more balls than somebody in the military.’”"

This might be considered a stand down too.

Whistle-blower: Botched talking points hurt FBI probe of Benghazi attack

"Another whistle-blower questioned Wednesday why more military assets were not deployed sooner during the Benghazi terror attack. Mark Thompson, a former Marine and official with the State Department's Counterterrorism Bureau, said he was rebuffed by the White House when he asked for a specialized team -- known as a FEST team -- to be deployed. This is a unit made of special operations personnel, diplomatic security, intelligence and other officers."

It’s a simple concept: While the attack was happening, nobody could know how long it would last, so nobody could know if military support would be too late or not.
