SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL:...I neglected to mention from the top that that agent from the top of this incident, or the very beginning of this incident, has been on the phone. He had called the quick reaction security team, he had called the Libyan authorities, he had called the Embassy in Tripoli, and he had called Washington.
If the order was giving to assist against the terrorist in Libya, in the situation room, after about 1 hour, do you start to get anxious about wheres the reaction forces that are know to be close enough to get there first? And the forces that did go in were held up by the Libyans for 40 minutes at the airport according to the Brett Baier report.
