” 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.

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.

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 -

Woods and others disobeyed orders and headed over to the consulate, where they rescued several people and carried away the body of Sean Smith. They did not find the ambassador. Upon returning to the safe house, they again requested military back-up and were again denied. They were soon under fire. The fighting there went on for four more hours.

And still the MSM ignores this story...

[lentulusgracchus]

[Article, quoting Leon Panetta]
"And as a result of not having that kind of information, the commander who was on the ground in that area, General Ham, General Dempsey and I felt very strongly that we could not put forces at risk in that situation."

Oh, so it's just the three of you and the President?

Gen. Dempsey is Chairman of the JCS -- which means he's not in the chain of command, he's the President's staff man, serving at the pleasure of the president just like you, Leon. Major General Carter Ham is an area commander who gets his troops (if any) from other regional commanders -- and as a major-general, he's about five layers down in the chain of command.

So we had you, Panetta (the President's SecDef and a career henchman), Gen. Dempsey (the President's general), and a junior general officer who "owns" Libya but no troops -- and you fired him on the spot for trying to help those people in Benghazi.

Where's the Army Chief of Staff? Where's the Secretary of the Army? All hell's breaking loose late in the evening in Libya (it's lunchtime in America), and you can't find people to get a second opinion? How cozy. Just like that Sunday in December, 1941, when George Marshall was out riding his horse.

Yeah, you and Barky had it down to a small group, didn't you? -- the way crap always happens.
