.."from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that three urgent requests from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. Consulate and subsequent attack nearly seven hours later were denied by officials in the CIA chain of command -- who also told the CIA operators to "stand down" rather than help the ambassador's team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11."..........

Not sending in reinforcements... well, they can at least hem and haw about getting permission from the host country, yada, yada, yada.

But telling the forces already there to STAND DOWN? There's no way to justify that. None at all. The whole point of them being there is to provide this kind of support if ever needed.

It gets worse.

......."According to sources on the ground, the special operator on the roof of the CIA annex had visual contact and a laser pointing at the Libyan mortar team that was targeting the CIA annex. The operators were calling in coordinates of where the Libyan forces were firing from. ".......
