Clinton Broadcast System, at it again...
On top of that the really ugly story...that 15K MANPADS are loose because of our ill-conceived and poorly executed operation in Libya would have to come out.
Someone here on FR said it well a couple days ago.
“It is easier to ‘splain away four dead Americans than to risk killing muzzies who will claim collateral damage to civilians”
There was never any intention of sending a rescue - this decision right from the top.
Chris Stevens was SENT to Benghazi on direct orders from no less than the Current Occupant of the White Hut. Without a security detail, without even a personal sidearm, going into a known trouble spot, which had already previously been targeted by the same bunch of bandits.
Chris Stevens, and the three persons accompanying him, were sacrificial lambs, sent to show our “open hand” supposedly extended to indicate our “peaceful intentions”. That hand certainly got slapped away.
If a rescue HAD been mounted, it would have negated the entire thrust of this pseudo-diplomatic move, which was ONLY to demonstrate our good will, and to beg the Islamic jihadists’ forgiveness, doncha know.
Zero’s style is to lead from behind. That means taking no risks.
He’s a pro at sending in the drones but scared to death of launching helos and putting boots on the ground.
Allah forbid that something should go wrong, especially in this election season. He’d have nobody to blame it on, not even Hillary.
He and Klinton were no doubt so fearful of another Blackhawk Down that they were frozen in place. They chose to do nothing rather than launch a rescue that could have saved the life of his own ambassador!!
What cowards!!
Good question, and Romney needs to ask it tonight of Dear leader.
Benghazi is a port city, readily accessible from a multitude of military assets stationed around the region.
Also, if the British and French consules left the area along with the Red Cross, what the hell were we still doing there?
This smells like a setup—just like CNN’s 11th-hour demand that Crowley be allowed to conduct followup discussion. That led to her interjection. This is just too easy—something’s up. DO NOT TRUST CBS ANMORE THAN CNN.

How long any of them lasted is irrelevant. No one could have known who died when or in which compound at the time. The only question is "why was nothing done to try to help them?" Only ONE MAN had the authority to send a rescue team onto foreign soil. We know what his choice was.
Has there been any reports as to how many of the attackers were killed?
