CBS released information on the Benghazi 9-11 massacre today that could potentially bring down the Obama Administration.

Buried in their report (down in paragraph eight) CBS reported, “Throughout the night, sources say Americans on the ground in Libya at times felt helpless and abandoned… But they were told immediate help wasn’t available.” But, counterterrorism sources and internal emails reviewed by CBS News express frustration that key responders were ready to deploy, but were not called upon to help. CBS reported:

Throughout the night, sources say Americans on the ground in Libya at times felt helpless and abandoned.

“We relied on Washington for dispassionate assessment,” one eyewitness told CBS News. “Instead, they [Washington officials] were asking us what help we needed. We answered: ‘Send reinforcements!’ ”

But they were told immediate help wasn’t available.

Embassy personnel say they repeatedly asked the Defense Attache on site in Tripoli for military assistance.

“Isn’t there anything available?” one Embassy official says he asked. “But the answer was ‘no.’”

“What about Aviano?” the official pressed, referencing the NATO air base with US assets in northeastern Italy. “No,” was the answer.

Two of the four Americans killed that night died hours after the first attack began…

…Counterterrorism sources and internal emails reviewed by CBS News express frustration that key responders were ready to deploy, but were not called upon to help in the attack. National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor told CBS News the CSG was not needed.

I don’t see how Hillary can be blamed for everything because BO is the CIC and the only one that can order the troops in our tell them to stay out-right?

love it...

I’d love to see the Mooch run out of the WH and have to end her Beyonce style life style. Bet they would divorce PDQ if BO goes down.

No, she won’t trash Obama, she is going to say that they had agreed on a reduced military presence in Libya, which meant no military action without prior authorization by the provisional government in Libya.

I just saw clip on FNC of Hillary and Obama on the day after attack. She looked terrible.

She can say whatever she wants/

The RSO (Regional Security Officer responsible for co-ordinating with local security forces) in Tripoli sent the State Dept. a classified cable on August 16th saying they did not have enough security personnel to protect the Embassy. Clinton had reduced sec. forces months before and they requested more security and were denied. The attack happened one month later. I’m sure the info went to the top...WH. Clinton and Obama both have blood on their hands.

CBS must have decided that Zer0 and his agenda are safe, so they can pretend to be journalists.

Fast and Furious blew over, this will,

You CANNOT get a hit every time at bat.

I'll disagree and say the "law of averages" pendulum will swing in the opposite direction.

I predicted the same last night in the Miami-Chicago NBA game. I won a steak dinner because I sensed the "law of averages " were against Miami because they were 42 and 2.

Time will tell the tale.

“This is as far as the See?BS investigation will go. They will abandon any effort to tie responsibility to Obastard.”

Actually, the following parties are expendable to the left in the following order: Susan Rice and Zero. Hillary is widely viewed as a 2016 shoe-in against any R. I don’t think the Old Media will let her go down without a big fight. I don’t think Biden has the juice to take HRC down. And Kerry isn’t smart or tough enough—he’s a putz and she and Bill are vicious street-fighters and Dems are scared of them.

So my prediction is Susan Rice takes the fall first. If that doesn’t calm things down, maybe Zero gets hurt enough to be a badly lamed duck for three years. But HRC comes out minimally injured. She doesn’t get any Heinz ketchup money for 2016, though.
