My mind is not comprehending this. Why lie about it? It’s just not making sense. What am I missing?

I suspect it’s not making sense because there are more “pieces” missing. Who in the White House on the evening of September 10th decided NOT to send reinforcements to strengthen and build a possible reaction force?

Recall the election that was around the corner at the time, and that al-Qaeda was “on the run.”
Regardless of any nefarious dealings, it was a major political #-up shrouded in lies, misrepresentations, and disregard for the 1st Amendment.
Its important becayse it shows rescue forces were in fact close at hand and could have been used.
It show that their non use was POLITCAL. This makes GayMuzzie look bad.
how is that hard to see?
Contrast:
1. Your son slowly drowns at a remote deserted beach.
2. You son slowly drowns on camera, screaming into a radio begging for help for eight hours, on Santa Monica beach in the summer at noon on Saturday in from of the Bay Watch tower.
One of these two scenarios would make you madder, Right?
Quote from the article....”U.S. officials did not have a Status of Forces Agreement in place that would have authorized the troops’ presence, the sources said.”
.....And therefore the total incompetence of this administration continues to be more than simply evidence. It has caused deaths...and will continue to do so unnecessarily!
Many thanks to Texas Fossil for putting this list in order and removing the duplicates I missed.
This is a Threat Matrix list documenting threats within and without. Anyone wanting on or off please advise.
This is the Benghazi Index
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise me or Republicanprofessor.
These are guys who were already in Tripoli. We have known that forces were sent from Tripoli although they were delayed at the airport upon their arrival in Benghazi. This is to take the focus off the question of WHY no crossborder orders were given...and where was obama while our people were being murdered and cya for the pentagon.
As others have said, there are missing pieces to the Benghazi massacre but everything this administration says and does is either to; a) win elections, or b) seize more central government power.
Benghazi happened 6 weeks prior to the 2012 election and Obama was running on “Bin Laden dead, GM alive”. Losing an ambassador to a terrorist attack we had advanced warnings of would undermine Obama’s claim that Al Qaida was “decimated”. The campaign feared voters would see this as weakness by the Commander in Chief so they put out the YouTube lie to deflect attention. It worked, Obama defeated Romney handily and we still have no answers on what really happened because Obama has the power to withhold information.
Why lie about this?
Don’t you think it is kind of amazing 7 competent special ops guys had to be flown in from Tripoli? Where was security? Being a US ambassador should not be a suicide watch.
