Please read the entire article and tell me of you can find the rotten fish heads. As a former newspaper editor, it stuck out immediately in the first sentence.
Obama’s failure to issue a CBA ORDER FOR Benghazi is due to his having been unable to secure permission from a higher authority.
Impeachment process was begun in March because Leon Panetta and General Dempsey we’re outsourcing authorization to act to Soros and his ICG. “Responsibility To Protect”.
Obama did not convene an American security group to formulate a response. Most likely reason? He was calling Samantha Power and George Soros looking to get consensus and permission.

From March, above article contains video of congressional hearings with Panetta being asked questions by Sessions
concerning Obama’s doctrine; Responsibility To Protect; The ICG doctrine promoted by Soros.
Have we heard from next of kin? Link?

Libya rescue squad ran into fierce, accurate ambush
BENGHAZI, Libya, Sept 12 (Reuters) - A squad of U.S. troops despatched by helicopter across the Libyan desert to rescue besieged diplomats from Benghazi on Wednesday ran into a fierce overnight ambush that left a further two Americans dead, Libyan officials told Reuters.
Two American troops killed in ambush en route to rescue besieged diplomats in Benghazi
Speaking of the rescue mission, he said: “A team of commandos arrived by air and went to a farm which we thought was a secret location. Once they got there, they came under heavy fire from heavy machineguns, rocket-propelled grenades and automatic rifles, which resulted in the death of two others.”
WHAT??? (surprised and shocked caps)
Two others died that night? Will you point me to details? Thanks!
I should have kept reading. :)
Thanks for the links.
That account sounds confused. Why would a rescue squad be flying over the desert? Where were they coming from? The path from either Tripoli (405 miles) or Sigonella (467 miles) would be over water.
Additional evidence of the article's confusion is that it seems to support the Susan Rice version of the story, namely, that the attack was a protest that got out of hand. But we knew that to be false from open sources very soon after the attack.
By 14 September, we had, for example, the testimony of Ethan Chorin, who was in Benghazi with Dr. Thomas Burke of Mass General, Boston. They were there to assist Libyan doctors in setting up an Emergency Room operation at the Benghazi Medical Center. They and the Libyan doctors were slated to meet with Ambassador Stevens the morning of the 12th.
On the evening of the 11th, Chorin was on the phone with the Ambassador's security detail arranging the meeting, when the call ended abruptly with a shout of "We've got a problem here". Then Chorin and Burke were left to hole up in their hotel listening to sounds of the distant violence. And the Libyan doctors ended up treating the Ambassador unsucessfully at the BMC for severe asphyxia.
IOW, no demonstration, no build-up. Just a sudden surprise attack by Al Qaeda.
More than likely, the article is double-counting Woods and Doherty, Doherty being the American who had arrived from Tripoli.
