A former Navy SEAL told Breitbart News on Friday that allegations of negligence during the 9/11/12 Benghazi attack exemplified Obama's "failed policy of appeasement and apology" and was Obama's "Watergate" with four deaths.
Ryan Zinke, a member of the Montana state Senate former U.S. Navy SEAL, said it was "unconscionable that the Administration would not immediately act when our consulate is under attack," and this was Obama's "Watergate with one exception" -- "the result was the loss of our Ambassador and three young heroes."
"There is no better example of the President's failed policy of appeasement and apology than America being delayed because we had to ask Libya's permission to fly in their airspace to rescue our Ambassador," Zinke told Breitbart News. "Even sending aircraft overhead would have helped."

Kerry didn’t kill anyone a few weeks before the election .
Does everyone remember when the left got all over W for not stopping his talk to the kindergarten class when informed about the attack on 9/11/01?
Typical liberal hypocrisy.
All I am saying is the video was used as a bait and switch to give the admin time to get their lies straight. The video was just a ruse hoping it would carry them over the finish line on Nov 6th. Given the sycophantic media lapping up all Obama does, they confidently believed that they can get away with it. But then somebody died. They believe not getting caught in a lie is like telling the truth. Shit is going to hit the fan. These are impeachable offenses if not treasonous if proven that this admin were cutting deals with jihadists.
Why hasn’t anyone brought Valerie Jarrett’s name into this? If she stopped him several times from going after Bin Laden, then maybe she advised him not to interfere in Benghazi.
But if POTUS says at 5pm DC time, “No military action, no cross border,” and then he becomes “unavailable,” then his last standing order stands until he changes it. So if he went to bed, for example, nobody could change his standing orders.
I imagine that a lot of extreme military, CIA and State Dept. craziness was going down while Obama was sleeping. Aircraft must be told proceed, or return to base, or they fall from the sky. I imagine many HEATED arguments around the globe on phone, text and email, subject, “Well wake the damn president up!” Followed by, “I can’t! You MUST stand down the mission!”
Kind of reminds me of D-Day no one was to wake the Fuhrer. Even though the Armor was needed in Normandy. Funny how two dictators both have people acting the same way when their is a emergency and their people are being killed.
Sorry for the bad cut and paste.
Like no cross border into Pakistan to get Bin Lauden. Obama did not order that....Panetta did. The cowardice to obama knows no limits.
Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer: My sources tell me Obama was in the room watching Benghazi attack.

He also replaced generals and admirals who refused to stand down-

The article brings up a good point. Just sending some fast planes, fighters, at roof top levels may have scared off the attackers. Surely, those folks have seen some of the vids where helicopters and ac130s have been watching, then picking the enemy off.
This here, is such a bungled operation, that no amount of spin or deception can cover it up. Fortunately, Obama is going to be gone soon, and the administration will not be left to cover it up. Also, with Obama gone, there will be folks speaking up faster and in greater numbers.
last weekend a former CIA operative said exactly that.... Fly by and disperse the
crowds. O probably afraid one of them would get shot down, and further tarnish his abysmal record.
Alf Panetta giving his best “ I’m sorry, you don’t know jack” impression to cover all of this.
The fact that Colin Powell came out publicly in support of Obama, in light of Benghazi-gate, kinda says it all. Some of our military are treasonous enemies of America.
Excellent point. Hadn’t thought about it, but you are 100% right.
Recall that the Cairo mob was chanting “Obama, we are all Osamas now!” when they assaulted the Cairo embassy. They said zilch about the video.
Also interesting that the Al Queda flags, US Flag burning, and even a burning of a likeness of Obama, are not shown by the MSM.....
Saw those quickly one day, but they have disappeared
Did 0 just not today INSIST that he did not DENY those requests for help?
To me—that is PROOF he was present when these requests were made—or was at least notified of them having been made—IN REAL TIME!
SO—if he knew about them, and did NOT deny them, the only other thing he could have done was—IGNORE THEM!
And I think that is EXACTLY what he did—right after giving the order to “stand down” General Ham.
Then—he could go to bed, sleep well while the fire-fight at the Consulate was going on, get up and go campaign in Nevada, and complain about having “a tough day”.
Agree.
No one in the media , including fox as far as I’ve seen /heard to date has spent
time on deconstructing what he has said numerous times now.
