Fox News has learned 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. Former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were part of a small team who were at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. Consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When they heard the shots fired, they radioed to inform their higher-ups to tell them what they were hearing. They were told to "stand down," according to sources familiar with the exchange. An hour later, they called again to headquarters and were again told to "stand down."

This is looking more and more like an attempt by the president to get the ambassador kidnapped and then successfully negotiate his release before the election.
But then that smoke inhalation thing ruined everything.
At every turn, this event gets worse.
The media doesn’t care, just like Somalia. It wasn’t until the book came out that anyone knew what really happened. Clinton made the military responsible and that was that.
Obama tried to do kind of the same thing here. 10 years ago - before the independent internet media got its foot hold - it would have worked.
Our politicians are playing by the old media rules and keep getting caught and can’t figure out why. Stupid.
Another thing about this that is so disgusting...
Colin Powell approves of all this!
Is this the least surprising for a president who refused three opportunities to get Bin Laden—such that Panetta finally had to orchestrate a movement to act without his approval?
Or for a president that’s been aiding and abetting the Al-Qaeda-allied Muslim Brotherhood from his very first days in office?

When you have RADICAL ANTI-AMERICAN DEMOCRATS running the country and in the chain of command these are the results you can expect. The socialist democrats committed a fraud to get THE FOREIGNER on the ballot in the first place and have been COVERING HIS INELIGIBLE REAR END EVER SINCE. These frauds probably didn’t want to OFFEND THE MUSLIMS by defending our people. One of the most PATHETIC decisions in a long list of PATHETIC DEMOCRAT decisions I have ever heard.
This is horrifying. I’m speechless.
Rush is leading his radio show with this breaking story right now.
Has Carney preposteroused, or Hussein denied it yet?
There is ONE man in this ‘administation’ that I believed would draw a red line in the sand when it comes to orders from the White House and refuse to follow those orders.
General Petraeus.
He was once called General Betrayus by the extreme left wing, my guess, is now this same group would be lauding his ‘integrity’.
Pravda will ignore this. Or if they do mention it they will discount it because the sources are anonymous and claim Foxnews can’t be trusted.
Rush said this story “will shake the nation to its core”.
This is enormous, and the MSM will be forced to cover this.
“A former Navy SEALs manned a blood-soaked machine gun to defend U.S. territory. Meanwhile Apache helicopters sat on the ground in Italy.”
WHY? Why weren’t the Apache helicopters sent to HELP? Why?
As a Christian, I don’t really believe in karma, seriously, this is such bad karma. I have to confess I am praying that Obama reaps what he sows.
Can’t help but compare this to Katrina.
Wow, the complexion of the election just changed completely.
