“The White House never ordered a stand-down.”

The ICG would have done so.

Where was Thomas Pickering on the night of Sept 11th, 2012, was he responsible for the STAND DOWN ORDER?

“The White House never ordered a stand-down.”

It’s no wonder Pickering is in charge of the investigation.

He is investigating his own role and he will be found not culpable. (by himself)

Thanks for posting their pictures... brave men ... they deserved better...

I sent your article to Drudge this morning. I trust many others have done the same. Pretty much everything worth knowing about this White House debacle is covered in your article. Thanks for educating all of us.

[Travis McGee]

Thanks. I hope it gets out/up to the national reporters. I’ve even been Tweeting it out, a task I hate.

Thomas Pickering is 80 years old. I doubt he was involved in the Benghazi fiasco, the abandonment of Americans to Jihadists

I know this may sound strange, but knowing of Obama’s distaste for any military .. perhaps Obama could not take the chance the 100 Marines would have killed all the AQ people (Muslims).

I truly believe the Marines would have made a huge difference. It might have been too late for Stevens or Smith, but saving a couple of highly trained Seals seems only logical.

I’m truly heart broken over this .. and I hope the Congress will press hard on the issue. I’m still convinced the American people will not re-elect Obama.

If anybody at FOX contacts you - please let me know. In fact, let everybody know if you get interviewed .. I’m sure there will be a lot of support for you.

The CBA issue never rose above Breitbart and PJ Media. Sandy and the election have sucked all of the oxygen away from Benghazi. It might come up later, or not.

I think there’s an article at Drudge saying 53 repubs sent a letter requesting ALL the info on Benghazi.

I don’t expect it to go anywhere, but today Rush was saying that suddenly (now that the election is over), the MSM will suddenly find a few interesting stories about the economy, the debt limit, Benghazi, etc. I think he’s right.

[Travis McGee]

With Dear Leader reelected, I don't think the MSM will pay one iota of attention to Fast and Furious or to Benghazi.

"It's not a scandal if we don't report it."

Hearings start on the 15th.

A lot of people watch CSPAN - so we’ll see what the public has to say about it; that is if CSPAN is allowed to cover any of it.

I know some of the hearings will be closed, but hopefully some of the unclassified material will filter out.

The problem with this issue is that the water has become so muddied with peripherals (ranging from stupid YouTube videos to who was informed when through what sort of medium) that no one can establish a clear focus of blame unless they follow everything that’s been put out there. The beauty of your piece (either version, IMHO) is that it breaks the issue down to the nut: 1) guys we’re dying, and asking for help 2) the only one who could help them (by issuing a CBA) was the POTUS 3) he didn’t. End of story, end of case against the bucket-of-manure in charge.

No, Not the end of story! Now, why? WHY? WOULD OBAMA NOT SEND HELP?

I submit the reason why is he did not want any of the 32 people in there to come out alive. Dead people do not tell America what happened. This is why the survivors have been threatened and ordered not to speak about this with anyone.
