Obama “Now with respect to Libya, as I indicated in the last debate, when we received that phone call, I immediately made sure that, number one, that we did everything we could to secure those Americans who were still in harm’s way;”

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.”
Would the press have been be up in arms if some police chief had listened to Matthew Shepard’s screams for help for 6 hours while he was being murdered - and done nothing? I suspect the MSM and Hollywood would still be talking about it. This? Not so much - well, not at all...
Exellent work, my dear Holmes. It warrants posting elsewhere...
