...he called it in, and hoped no one noticed

[stephenjohnbanker]

” The first statements from the Obama administration about what happened in Benghazi seemed plausible. “

Uh, not so much.

[blueunicorn6]

OK. For the sake of argument, let’s say we couldn’t get the military there in time to stop the killing. Aren’t those facilities in Benghazi considered to be “American soil”? Shouldn’t we have sent in the tanks to secure it anyway? Why not?

Too bad somebody didn't show ∅ this excerpt from the U.S. Army Ranger creed when he got word of the attack:

I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.

unless restrained by incompetent civilian authority

Is it incompetent? It seemed fully competent. A month and a half out from an election due to remove you from power and you have an extremely embarrassing incident that could reveal many unpleasant facts, so you write off everyone involved and then stonewall. Very competent.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

At some point the bastards responsible for this are going to have to admit to one of two things: politicization of their response (which is undoubtedly the true state of affairs) or gross incompetence. They’ll probably choose the latter, because it’s the lesser of two evils.

[O6ret]

Or some of both.

[VideoDoctor]

Once again it's all very simple.

WHO issued the ORDER to "STAND DOWN"... not once but supposedly TWICE.

Answer that question and you at the CORE of the entire issue.

Was Obama gun-walking arms to jihadists?”

'bummer 'job description" "reestablish the Caliphate" with the promise he'd be established as the new Mahdi?

[spawn44]

Socialist anti american democrats can not be trusted to guard this nation. There whole IDEOLOGY is reduce our power and arms and lay low in hopes the enemy will do likewise. BENGHAZI can be looked at as a microcosm of how the FOREIGNERS REGIME handles our national security. We must boot these american impostors out on their keesters in November.

This General announced he was NOT going to stand down - he was releived of duty within 30 seconds (And another officer - Naval - SAME THING. This refutes any claim by bozo that he ordered help -

post this everywhere - email to everyone and tell them to do the same

what do we know for a fact on Benghazi?

what do we know for a fact on Benghazi?

It depends on what sources you're willing to accept.

Benghazi and the Swing States: “In Real Time”

This source isn't welcome at FR. It also claims Gen. Carter Ham was relieved of command from Africom for wanting to mount a rescue mission. Other links on the thread implicate Iran. We do know the Obama administration has not been forthcoming, and that Panetta sounds like an idiot.
