Thank you. If the attack in fact went on for 6 hours as the administration claims, why didn’t the CIC order air and ground support from our positions in the Med. Surely we had aircraft capable of being on site within at the very least a couple hours. The US has ships and aircraft all over that region.
The administration claims the attack went on for 6 hours
Why didn't the CIC order immediately air and ground support from USN positions in the Mediterranean?
Maybe we couldn't have saved the lives of Stephens and the others but at least Obama could have said we did everything we could.
Instead of a month later claiming "we will find the perps and bring them to justice" - we had all the perps assembled on the night of the attack in a single location, we could have been on site within an hour or two and wiped them all out where they stood.
I do not understand why we did not do this - anyone else?
I want to know when the US knew where the body of the ambassador was. And what time was the body returned to US hands. I have read the first hand account from what happened to the ambassador, Sean Smith, and the security guy who accompanied them to the “safe room.” When I think of a fire being lit with diesel fuel in a building in Libya, I think the whole place is gonna go up in flames. But it didn’t. The ambassador’s body was not grilled to a crisp. Our guys returned to the burning building repeatedly in an attempt to locate the body. I am sure this happened rather fast at the consulate but how did the fire stop? Sorry if I sound very ignorant.
Carney made it clear that the protests across the Muslim world targeting U.S. embassies and consulates, is in no way directed at the policies of President Obama’s administration.
Carney said that the protests were exclusively aimed at a video which is highly critical of Islam that a U.S.-based filmmaker put online in June:
This is a fairly volatile situation, and it is in response not to U.S. policy, not to, obviously, the administration, not to the American people. It is in response to a video – a film – that we have judged to be reprehensive and disgusting. That in no way justifies any violent reaction to it. But this is not a case of protests directed at the United States, writ large, or at U.S. policy. This is in response to a video that is offensive and – to Muslims.
Once Carney said this, I recognized instantly at the time that this was a giant coverup. The was the tack the WH was going to take to defend themselves against the charge that their policies were a failure. Notice how categorical Carney states this. No reservations or qualifiers. They painted themselves into a corner and then doubled down with Rice a few days later. I guess they counted on the entire MSM buying this with no follow up.
Having watched it in real time and seen it was a terrorist attack when it was happening and then blaming it on a video is just insane.
Two weeks after the attack Obama addressed the UN and said SIX TIMES that it was the video that caused the faux "protest" and the killings.
They could have acted in real time as another poster has mentioned and sent support and most likely prevented this Islamic Muslim terrorist slaughter.
Is there a link to the video that so offended the muslims, or has it been scrubbed?
I'll bet it exposed Islamic Muslim haters for what they are, and that is what "offended" the crybaby terrorism supporting muslims.
Why didn't the CIC order immediately air and ground support from USN positions in the Mediterranean?I agree with you completely.
See my post at #87
But the reason is clear. They did NOT want to stop this.
He can’t blame Hillery, because she is now accepting the blame, and diverting blame away from Obama, so he can be “re-elected.”. Thats the spin.
Silly reporter needs to get with the plan! / S
As if we even know who Obama is at this point, we certainly know next to nothing about him at all except the false propaganda picture created for and by Obama.If the electorate doesn’t even want to know who Obama really is, why the heck should the electorate care about him blaming Hillery for Benghazi?
Obama thinks that the electorate is just a manipulatable commodity, which is why he spends almost all of his time doing it, rather than establishing good relations with Congress, he spends time following the strategies of Alinsky.
Good Read, tells you just who Obama is:

Bolton Sounds Off on the Congressional Hearing in the Benghazi Terror Attack
Jeanine Pirro lays it on the line. 0bama lied and is lying.
John Bolton provides some clarity on who has responsibility for foreign policy. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
He does bring clarity, but the nefarious aspect is that Obama believes that the culture of the United States ( Anti Muslim) needs to be blamed. Those people who attacked our Benghazi consulate are now “freedom fighters” in Obamas mind?
Either Obama is totally disconnected , or his usual strategy of leaving no crisis unexploited ( to dis America internationally....siding with the anti-colonial minorities of the world,,,,follow a US surrender monkey policy internationally)is well in place a la Cloward-Priven?
People cannot or are unwilling to face the fact that the pResident is simply unAmerican? If Romney does not make that point tonight somehow in his second debate with Obama, Romney may well lose the election.Bolton stopped short of saying that the president’s ideology was unAmerican.
Thanks for the video links they were VERY informative.
No way in heck. The narcissist in "chief" accepts NO responsibility.
But let's pretend for a moment he does. His wiring could not handle it. It would cause a mental breakdown.....for ALL the world to see.
And who is to say we don't have our own plants? This is clearly a war for/against America. One must fight fire with fire......or demons with Holy Water.
Just sayin.
That is exactly right. One has to erase everything 0bama has said and done from their minds to believe otherwise. Unfortunately a lot of people do.
People cannot or are unwilling to face the fact that the pResident is simply unAmerican?
That is also exactly right. It's a "willing suspension of disbelief" aided and abetted by a treasonous media and a spineless GOPe Congress.
If she gets a bump in the polls, then she’s not to blame, I am and I take complete responsibility for it, although I generously acknowledge her courageous stand. If she doesn’t get a bump in the polls, then she is and we’ll just have to make some room under the bus and then throw her there.
