LOTS more original research at the site. The author is a former Green Beret and a military history expert.

If you must, put this in Bloggers and Personal. However, it contains excellent primary research and analysis about the Benghazi tragedy. It has much more content than any other news article out there.

The changed their uniforms 4 times while trying to decide how to dress for battle — with or without weapons. Fortunately, the platoon leader would not deploy without weapons!

Waiting for authorization from the Libyan government — what Libyan government??? What cowards!!!

"AT 2:39 the F.A.S.T.team received official orders to deploy to Libya. The team was fully packed-out and waiting on the tarmac of the airfield at 5:45. Though ready to deploy, the F.A.S.T. platoon in Spain had to wait, as its air assets were not at Rota, as one would expect. They were in Germany, at Ramstein Air Force Base! It was not until NOON that the C-130 arrived from Germany; fully 9 HOURS after the orders to deploy!"

C-130 in Germany, not Spain. Why ?

Was it delivering a share of the Libyan Gold to Merkel ?

The reason that Hillary and the Dems have been fighting SO HARD against all these investigations is..... MONEY. IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY.

After Ghaddafi was killed, and his government in chaos, do you know what the rebels who killed him did first ?

One would think they would form a new government. Name a leader. Unravel the chaos.

But they didn't. First thing they did was form a NEW BANK. Does that seem odd to anyone ?

The Clintons are serial treasonists. From Loral Aerospace to Uranium One, they sell national security to enrich themselves.

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."

Here is a video of Rep. Chaffetz saying that Gen. Ham, commander of AFRICOM at that time, told him that assets were near enough to help and ready to go.

AFRICOM leader General Carter Ham was never given the order to secure the consulate in Benghazi. Youtube 1:43

Adm. James Lyons (Ret.) on Growing Benghazi Scandal

ADMIRAL LYONS: …All those comforting words that “We don’t want to put our forces at risk.” We had people at risk—they were crying for help! In a situation, you go with the resources you have available—and, in this particular case, we did have that 130-man Marine force recon team sitting there at Sigonella. Even if I only got 50 of them over there, that would have been significant in turning the situation around. We may not have been able to save the ambassador, but we certainly could have saved those other two SEALs that were over on the annex.

ADMIRAL LYONS: In perpetuating this lie, we also had administration officials lying to Congressional committees. That’s a felony. So, “What difference does it make?” It makes all the difference in the world. You cannot flaunt the truth here, just walk away from it and, basically, tell the American public to stuff it. That’s not acceptable.

The point on the organizing the two Marine anti-terrorist teams in Rota, that was good to go ahead and stand ’em up. What I find incomprehensible: The first team, it took them 23 hours to go a few hundred miles from Rota to Tripoli. I could go around the world in 23 hours, so that makes absolutely no sense to me.

There is no doubt whatsoever that the assets were in motion preparing to receive an order to go.

How the military preps.

How an embassy rescue works.

Cross Border Authority.

Don’t forget that General Ham was out on his tail quite shortly after Benghazi. Before Obama, generals were never fired, though admirals could be. Don’t know which is best in abstract, but when it comes to our CinC it is clearly a deleterious policy.

A friend of Kaddaffi’s point of view (particularly regarding HRC)
Some rather unusually circles he ran in!

Waiting for authorization from the Libyan government

Is that the same Lybian gov't that was supposed to be providing the security for Chris Stevens? (rhetorical question.)

The bottom line: Obama and Hillary did not want the world to know they were running guns (Libya’s former cache) to Syria for ISIS.

The CIA was there to try to find out where the cache was, and to stop the transfer of anymore guns. The CIA had to be doing this under the radar .. because it seems weird that Obama would want the CIA snooping around.

The treachery involved in this Op is just stunning; when you realize that our own President was funneling weapons to the same people we were trying to get rid of .. Whew! I knew Obama hated America, but this is beyond the pale.

(The Committee failed to discover who was responsible for this farcical display of indecision.)

Because the 'who' was the 'president.' Where the buck stops. The committee's failure to hold the Executive responsible can only be rationalized through the nebulous doctrine of Executive Privilege.

When or if this history is ever properly written, perhaps after we are all dead, it will be seen clearly that this 'president's' oaths were a lie and he lacked a conscience.
