The night of smoke, chaos, gunfire and grenades that killed four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, is well-documented.

Actually, it's not "well-documented" by any means.

We don't know very much about it at all. We certainly don't know why hundreds of highly-trained US forces, equipped with billions of dollars worth of the most sophisticated equipment in the world, prepositioned in Italy and elsewhere for just such a purpose as to mount a rescue operation to save American personnel in danger in the Mediterranean, were not given the green light to do their jobs.

We don't know where the President of the United States was during the hours in which the attack was taking place. We don't know who gave the two separate "stand down" orders that prevented precision bombing of targets that were illuminated at great personal risk by a United States soldier on the scene... who was later killed for his trouble.

We don't know why the survivors were prevented from telling their stories to Congress.

So, as far as I'm concerned, the very first sentence of this story contains a bald-faced lie. Whatever follows isn't journalism, its Journ0lism, i.e. propaganda.

Unfortunately I read past the first lie.

And what follows the first lie are more lies, with each lie targeted to protect Obama's nefarious actions and inactions.

We don't know why the people attacking the Embassy took so long to take it... They had the manpower - there was NO PROTEST - a protest was an early lie - they were just armed insurgents... We don't know why the FBI was denied permission to do an on site investigation... until long after any evidence would have been destroyed. CNN was there before the FBI.

Good list Steely Tom...

And - that's another whole issue - WHY hasn't Congress insisted on questioning these people?

I'm gonna be a little pi$$y here. What survivors? Have YOU seen them? I haven't. The administration and MSM say there are survivors, but I don't much believe ANYTHING they say anymore. So again I ask, "What survivors?"

And worse yet we don’t know if the drone that relayed live video feeds was armed or not!
