So in either case outlined in the first few sentences, Hillary and Obama must be held accountable.
What could be more simple.

The UK’s involvement and their entire policy on Libya is driven by British Petroleum. Of all the foreign oil companies that flocked to Libya after Qaddafi invited them back BP got the most lucrative deal. Part of this agreement, according to former Libyan officials, was the eventual release of Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi.

I can't prove anything but I believe the rebels promised BP, ENI (Italians) and other oil companies an even better deal than they were getting with Qaddafi. I think this drove the whole intervention.

Despite the Gulf oil spill Obama is joined at the hip with BP. The Brits would never have released the Lockerbie mass murderer without the silent nod from Hillary or Obama.

one thing I didn’t know was that the extra security had been recalled before the attack. Sounds like someone got a tip. The White House is all for sharia law being established in Egypt and Syria, and Libya, hence, no ground support because our Special Forces, Marines, and Army will not allow that to happen.

You have it pretty much pegged. And General Ham offered to send forces in as required if he got the get go from the CIC,
as well as there where SST Teams assembled in Tripoli that could have moved in. Think FEST forces. It is all coming out.

That's it. Do it like we did in Iraq. That's turned out so well. It's a great template to follow.

Obama said we had to go into Libya because Quadafi was going to kill all the people,actually he was going to go into Benghazi to kill the AlQueda Jihadists,but Hillary was under Orders from Obumbo to go in and Use Alqueda to Get Quadafi,she did with Nato Air power and CIA operatives as well. This of course to install the Muslim Brotherhood,just like Egypt and Next? Thats Right Syria, and guess who is going to pave the Way for the Muslim Brotherhood? The United States Marines and the United States Air Force. Nice to be Mercenaries for the Muslim Brotherhood

To have thirty CIA guys at one site....either they are having a bar-b-q for Larry who is retiring...or they are running a CIA prison of some type. It’s curious that the media hasn’t shown much of anything from their compound...we always get the burned-out video from the ambassador’s compound. If there were a large quantity of rooms over at the CIA compound....it’d lead me to suggest the prison site.

Why would Hillary and Obama, two certified Democrats, decide to use the American military to overthrow the government of Libya? If they are such freedom fighters, why didn’t they go after Castro? It’s because they aren’t freedom fighters. They are just greedy thieves. We fought the communists because their doctrine clearly stated that they were determined to impose communism on the whole world. Libya? We were worried about Libya? We had to attack them? Why? Follow the money.

Or, they are running guns from Benghazi through Turkey to Al Qaeda in Syria. Including MANPADs.

You are both generally right except that Gaddafy’s gold stash was boullion the French stole from their own vaults and sent to Libya for later retrieval. But Mo hid it. That’s why the French instigated a strike on Libya and chased convoys of trucks like dogs chasing their tails.
And anywhere there is unrest in the ME, you will find BP which was behind the installation of the Shah of Iran. BP has more blood on its hands than anyone dares speculate, including, but nowhere near limited to, the first arab war against Israel.

They went in “light.” First mistake.

They told supporting troops to stand down. Second mistake.

They got the 3 AM phone call and Obama and Hillary failed.

They doctored the talking points. Third mistake.

They made up a story about a video and a demonstration and had Susan Rice spread the lie. Fourth mistake.

They told people at the embassy not to cooperate with the congressional investigation. Fifth mistake.

They lied to the press about the White House involvement in the talking points, and tried to distance themselves from decisions that could only have come from Obama and Hillary. Sixth mistake.

They demoted Hicks to a desk job. Big mistake.
