I applaud you for your determination in documenting facts as you’ve been able to gather and I think they’re probably more correct than anything the MSM will ever let loose.

My only point in my reply is that our government is now filled with ideologues, maniacs and functionaries dedicated to the success of the Messiah Fuhrer - Obama. They’re not interested in America - only what they can lie cheat and steal to get power and money and feed their deathblow appetites. We are lost if they succeed in staying in power.

But a senior military official said that uncertainty about what was happening on the ground in Libya delayed the decision about where to send the Special Operations forces until about 9 p.m. in Washington, or 3 a.m. on Sept. 12, in Libya.

Yes indeed. We couldn’t attack Abu Khattala, leader of Ansar al-Shariah because they might tell the world our dirt. Filth.

Sorry, I formatted this in a word document I sent to a blog that had used some of my stuff in the past, and then just copied and pasted it from there onto FR.

In my word doc, there was a lot of bolded print for emphasis, and the picture I have also did not transfer to FR

Isn’t the February 17th brigade mentioned here the February 17th MARTYRS Brigade? And weren’t they the ‘security’ group hired to protect our ambassador? And were they the ones who opened the door and let these people in? The lack of proper security goes to decisions made way before that night. This is a despicable bunch and I do hope they can’t get away with this and that it continues to build and burst before the election.

I love the irony of The Disaster being brought down by the very people he has helped at every opportunity.

Why was a special strike team in Central Europe rather than in the Mediterranean where they are convenient to the entire region?

Why was General Ham fired?

What does the firing of the Commander of the carrier strike force in the Mediterranean have to do with this event?

Said the sheriff (Panetta) to his deputy (Military), "don't go out tonight, there's bad guys out there with guns"...

I hope so too! But it will take an MSM representative that gets big airtime, and who is willing to stand up for right instead of sacrificing all measure of credibility to keep a Democrat in power. I do not have high hopes for that, mainly because I’ve only seen one Democrat in my lifetime that was willing to stand up, speak out, and go against Democratdom in the face of evil. That man was Zell Miller.

They had to use CIA only because they couldn’t have the military witnessing whatever was going down.

That’s ok, it was worth getting out my machete and hacking my way through.

For some reason I picture popped in my head of police surrounding Columbine High School - but not allowed to go in.

Well done. I have dug deep to find anything written about the 31 who were saved. Where were they taken? Who has debriefed them? Where are they now. Have you read anything?

and being afraid of killing “innocent” libyans is odd, considering the fact that we were bombing the shiznit out of the place not too long ago . . . back when we were “driving from behind”.

Really? Over half a million MANPADS have been manufactured and are out there somewhere. Are you saying that terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq never had any MANPADS?

What are we now putting targets on our guys’ uniforms, or arming them with paintball guns?

It’s bean bags on our southern border so nothing would surprise me.
