A senior U.S. Intelligence official discounted a Fox news report from last Friday that said officials within the CIA chain of command denied repeated requests from its officers on the ground to assist during the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi.
The official insisted that the CIA operators on the ground were in charge of their movements and the safety of those who were preparing to respond was also an important consideration.
"There were no orders to anybody to stand down in providing support," the official said.
The official detailed the minute by minute account of what they say happened that night. There was a roughly 25 minute gap between when the officers at a nearby annex received the call for help from the mission to when the officers were able to get on their way to assist. During that time the officers at that annex location were getting their weapons loaded into vehicles, while others were on the phone trying to get local "friendly" militias with heavier weapons to help.

Excellent inquiries. Too bad no journalism major will ask any of those before TUE, if ever.
>So the white house watched this group get killed live on tv.<
.
This same group will watch the US destroyed live on TV and walk away from it, uninterestedly.
I think the WHITE HOUSE Has put out talking points, this, an ABC, Washington Post and also Hampton Roads http://hamptonroads.com/2012/11/officials-insist-cia-didnt-delay-libya-rescue-effort
All saying the same thing......
Glad they are so transparent
perhaps the ‘stand down’ orders were
only from the White House to the military
This is the same CNN offering a different timeline as the CNN which reported 'acquiring' the Libyan Ambassador's 'diary' from the site of the terrorist attack, after hiding it for days, and then defended their report after Hillary's state dept. condemned CNN report?
The CIA released this info. And it is pretty clear that no interference (interpreted as no assistance) from Washington was made. They were on their own.
Laughable, were it not so serious.
This is unconscionable covering up and more lying for the Marxist. Their source is no source at all, save for a flunkie at the WH.
TY
Wish we could do a retroactive drug test of the occupants of the WH for the day of 9-11-12.
IOWs - THERE WAS NO ORDER TO SEND A RESCUE TEAM!
Bingo.
Ditto for the new Washington Post misdirection article that came out tonight too. They all finally got their marching orders from Bambi. Both are getting pilloried on Twitter and in the comment sections. It is amazing to watch the Obama progs declaring that it’s over...all questions answered now...then they launch into the predictable and tired rants about Fox News. They are such stupid morons.....lol.
Every time you come out with one of these stories it CONTRADICTS wht the WH and Hillary says!
MSM, please EXPLAIN WTF was the deal with blaming the video?
All this "exemplary" behavior by the CIA, yet only 2 people from the annex came to the rescue?
Were they rogue agents?
NONE of this makes any kind of sense.
So what about some backup for the 2 brave Marines who died trying to save the people there? Mr. CIA guy, you are weaving an ever complex web of lies and it will all come out eventually. All that remains is just how much culpability you and others in the CIA will have for the lies and misconduct that has already been committed. It is pretty much obvious that Obama made unwise decisions in this instance to avoid a situation that might cost him the election. Now that the big lie has been discovered, it seems the cover-up, like always, is bigger than the original mistake. Honestly, I think the democrats are going to get blown out Tuesday like they never imagined. I can only hope that new leadership will have the drive to get to the bottom of this and to prosecute and penalize any and all who are complicit. Heads need to roll in this, some literally, if treason is proven.
Excellent questions.

WaPo’s “CIA Timeline.”
This is BULL$HIT. LIES... ALL LIES.
Still asking the same old questions huh?
The administration will keep putting out new lies until they find one the New York Times will buy - then democrats will push the same lie... They’ll act like the other stories never existed... I really don’t like these people.
” - - - and the safety of those who were preparing to respond was also an important consideration.”
IOW, this is CIA code for STAND DOWN!
Mother Hen in DC wants everybody that is safe to stay safe.
Safety comes first. It is in the Axelrod Manual in the chapter on Safe Re-elections, page 666.
From the liberal’s wet dream fiction movie:
BRADLEE’S OFFICE. SIMONS sits across from BRADLEE as ROSENFELD
enters quietly with a bundle of teletype paper.
SIMONS
(indicating the papers)
More denunciations?
ROSENFELD
(nods)
One Senator just gave a speech
slurring us 57 times in 20 minutes.
BRADLEE has started typing something brief. When ROSENFELD’s
done, so is he. He hands it to SIMONS.
SIMONS
What’s this?
BRADLEE
My non-denial denial.
ROSENFELD
We’re not printing a retraction?
CUT TO:
CLOSE UP—BRADLEE. He is thoughtful for a while. Then,
spinning around, staring out towards the newsroom:
BRADLEE
Fuck it, let’s stand by the boys.
And he stands, spins out of the room
“Wish we could do a retroactive drug test of the occupants of the WH for the day of 9-11-12.”
You make an excellent point. I have been thinking the same thing.
