Dumb question: The attack happened at an “annex”. Was there a US embassy in Libya at the time, and were there Marines stationed there?
If so, how long would it have taken them to prepare for combat and travel to the annex?
I’d like to see that linked to the graphic of the Muslim Brotherhood ties to the White House.
One big ugly web of anti-American intrigue.
Link?
I’ll make it real simple for ya, Jonah, obama cares nothing about anyone but himself, how’s that for simple
If so, how long would it have taken them to prepare for combat and travel to the annex?
Clarifying terms. The initial attack took place at a location serving as a Consulate. The "annex" you refer to was the "CIA Annex" several blocks away where the CIA was engaged in conducting activities we have not yet been made aware of.
US Marines protect Embassies, but not Consulates. The U.S. Embassy in Libya is at Tripoli, about 400 miles away from Benghazi. The Security Staff at the Tripoli Embassy was retained in place by the Acting Head of Mission (in the Ambassador's absence) due to fears that they might also be attacked.
Jonah, this article is poorly written. Your premise is solid, but the article does not make the case in an authoritative way. It conveys a cartoon like aura. Sorry Jonah, just my thought.
Okay.
There is an embassy/consulate in Tripoli. Marines were on the ground at that location. It is only 400 air miles from Tripoli to Benghazzi.
Perfect! Like, I’m not cool, or hip, or in-the-know if I don’t know
“This is Monty Pythonesque of “Dead Parrot” proportions.”
Stopped reading right there.
I don’t care.
(Psst! here’s a secret, he doesn’t care for anybody but himself - but he doesn’t even care about himself - he hates himself)
How’s that for crazy?
Narcissism.
It IS crazy.
Nixon lied, and covered up about a burglary he ordered to an office staffed by Democrats: Nixon resigned, rather that choosing to submit to an Impeachment Trial. Nobody died.
Bill Clinton lied and was Impeached. Vince Foster and Ron Armstrong died.
B. Hussein lied, was AWOL, covered up and is proud of it. Four of his employees were brutally murdered, while Obama slept like a baby.
The major U.S. naval air station of the Mediterranean, Sigonella, in Sicily, is very close by. Anyone who tries to claim help was far away is either grossly ignorant or hopes the listeners and readers are. All that command needed was the order “Yes, go.”

Nixon did not order or request the break in. John Dean probably did. But of course, after the fact, Nixon covered it up. And I don’t think he covered it up so much for the office break in, but that it might uncover “...the whole Cuban thing...”. It was that quote (or to that effect) that preceded the gap in the tapes. I think it had to do with keeping secret certain parts of our [Kennedy’s] involvement in the Bay of Pigs.
(BTW - the “Pentagon Papers” that Nixon tried to keep from getting released was from Johnson’s previous administration. But instead of using Johnson’s failures to his advantage politically, Nixon chose our National Security as a priority.)
Sorry for the sidetrack. But the liberals have used Nixon, and any hint of a Nixon type cover-up, dirty tricks, etc. to go after conservatives 40+ years later. We need to do the same to them, as you point out.
1)Why was there no response to Amb. Steven's request for more security?
2)Why did a CIA agent risk his career and ultimately his life to go from Tripoli to Benghazi to fight off the terrorists, while our CIC and Secretary of State sent no one?
3) What is NOT POLITICAL about:
a) NOT granting a request for better security at an American Consulate
b) NOT sending military assets to rescue personnel at the Consulate during an attack
c) NOT admitting an American Ambassador and three other brave men were killed during a TERRORIST attack on 9/11
d) ALL because doing so MIGHT have undermined a POLITCAL PARTY'S narrative about the effectiveness of their policies RIGHT AFTER their Convention and RIGHT BEFORE an election!

BUMP X 10!
You want simple?

Reportedly, a 50-man Spec Forces team had been flown in from Croatia. They were in their choppers, ready to go, rotors turning.
An F-18 squadron was standing by, ready to give them cover when they arrived.
Nobody said "Go".
