Immediately after the attack there were several articles and interviews on the tube explaining that:
1. the attack triggered alerts to everybody in the military and the government who had any involvement in the problem or the possible solutions.
2. the military prepares for situations like that and has men and equipment ready to respond on a moment's notice.
3. it is likely that the military commanders in Africa and Europe including the Navy, began responding by starting to move move men and equipment toward Benghazi to rescue or support the rescue.
4. live video feeds from the Benghazi consulate were available to a large number of military commanders and government officials.
5. the rescue plans require a presidential order to allow the military to enter a foreign country
6. Libya has no effective government.
7. If the US wanted an authorization to enter their airspace, Libya would have given it.
SO, why weren't the men rescued?
Within days, the stories were out that the Admiral in Command of the Stennis Carrier Group was relieved of command on the spot when he had indicated he was going to send in assistance regardless. He has since been attacked for allegedly letting details of Bin Laden's burial at sea leak via e-mail (yeah, right).
The commanding general of AFRICOM had similarly been relieved of command (on the spot) by his second-in-command when he indicated that he was going forward with rescue plans.
The subsequent story was (for a while) that he was undergoing a change of duty posting which had been planned.
Petreus had indicated 'no one at CIA had issued a stand down order' and his mistress popped up.
Similar statements were, iirc, issued by the Secretary of State and Panetta over at DOD, and they're looking for work...
Susan Rice, who tried to tell the American People that this event was the result of a spontaneous protest (over a 6 month-old YouTube video with a whopping 200 hits in that time) which got carried away, and other lies, is up for the SOS nomination?
Not only has some one turned this kitten inside out, they're sitting there petting it as if it is absolutely normal while anyone who has been paying attention looks at the MSM in absolute disbelief.
FRiend, our problem, the first and foremost problem in America, isn't the Communists nor the crooks in Government. Our Problem is the MEDIA.
Eliminate that problem, and get honest and truthful people in there and the rest will fall.
