It wasn't the CIA that refused, I believe those kinds of decisions are above their pay grade.

It was their commander in chief.

But I fully expect this administration to take full advantage of the CIA's obligation to stay quiet and try to pin any malfeasance on them.

“.....The American special operators, Woods, Doherty and at least two others were part of the Global Response Staff, a CIA element, based at the CIA annex and were protecting CIA operators who were part of a mission to track and repurchase arms in Benghazi that had proliferated in the wake of Muammar Qaddafi’s fall. Part of their mission was to find the more than 20,000 missing MANPADS, or shoulder-held missiles capable of bringing down a commercial aircraft. According to a source on the ground at the time of the attack, the team inside the CIA annex had captured three Libyan attackers and was forced to hand them over to the Libyans. U.S. officials do not know what happened to those three attackers and whether they were released by the Libyan forces.......”

Griffin’s sources tell her thatthe annex had painted a laser target at a terrorist mortar position and had called for an air strike. I’m not sure what that looks like in Panetta’s world, but it at least sounds like real-time intelligence on the attack, as well as a clear target...

Leon Panetta needs to resign.

Resign, he should out on bail awaiting his criminal trial. Him and Hitlery both, and Obobo also! And the heads of the so called "News Media" should be arrested also!

This is only “breaking news” on Fox. Went to AOL, MSN, CNN, MSNBC, you can’t even find the word Benghazi on the main pages. Pathetic.

Panetta is NOT Now running the CIA. Patreus(sp?) is....this looks like Obama ordered both Panetta and Petratus to stand down.

Other than Fox News and the Right Radio commentators, there is no free press in the USA. The rest of these pathetic water-carriers for the Democrats ought to be boycotted and subject to every kind of approbrium.

The ambassador would be a skeleton in the closet the POTUS and SOS would not have wanted to linger around to some day tell the story.

This stinks to high heaven. Obama’s behavior all during, before and after was loopy. The guy they arrested about the “video”; what have they done with him? Of course, the “video” was a diversion meant to take the heat off Obama, you know, the guy who “killed Osama bin Laden and who lives in a bubble where Al Quaeda is ON THE RUN”. - If we cannot be shed of this phony on November 6, Lord help us!

I am SO damn mad about how Hillary, Obama and Biden behaved to the father of the boy who was killed at Benghazi trying to help rescue the people they’d left to die!! God, rid us of these fakes and phonies!

Maybe I’ve watched too who done its, but could this have been a murder. Was the ambassador put in a place where he was likely to be killed because someone wanted to get rid of him?

There may have been confusion about what was overhead or the timing of overhead assets if the information was being passed through a serious of operations and command centers.

WHy the confusion? They had set up in a dangerous area that had been a war zone not long ago. The compound had already been threatened. They must have had a worked out protocol in case of an enemy attack. This wasn’t the consulate in Ottawa. I don’t buy it.

I wanted to stress the fact that Woods and Doherty were FORMER Navy Seals working for the CIA.

In some reports and comments, Woods and Doherty’s actions are being construed and critiqued in the context of active military service. But they were not active military. They were FORMER military now employed by the CIA.

“....Fox News has also learned that Stevens was in Benghazi that day to be present at the opening of an English-language school being started by the Libyan farmer who helped save an American pilot who had been shot down by pro-Qaddafi forces during the initial war to overthrow the regime. That farmer saved the life of the American pilot and the ambassador wanted to be present to launch the Libyan rescuer’s new school....”
