Now, nearly 2 yrs later we have 3 operators who were on the ground and involved in the fire fight stepping forward. We watched the Bret Baier rerun last night and could see the pain in their eyes recalling the whole night. Obviously they could only speak to what they knew at the time. Why they were delayed for at least a half an hour is still a big question. Even at that they finally went on their own initiative. What was "Bob" waiting for? State dept confirmation that there was an attack occuring? When the guys on the ground call and say they need back up, you don't tell them you'll see if you can stop by in the afternoon. You go. NOW!

...but, but, the Obama administration was SUPPOSED to be the most TRANSPAREENT in history...not like the Bush administration, right?

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no MORE, say no MORE!

Sometimes it looks like Greta isn’t quite as on board with going along with the powers that be.

I wonder if she’s not just trying to indirectly benefit the Hillster though

To the thinking of the US (documented treasonous) State Dept.,
and the pRes_ _ent (undocumented traitor), "NOTHING IS MORE
IMPORTANT THAN ARMING al Qaeda and IS against the USA".

MUCH worse than his Marxism and hatred of white people, Obama is a *coward* with no honor whatsoever.

A man that is so cowardly he did not even have the guts to send others to risk their lives to save those he was responsible for.

He, and he alone, was responsible for the safety those in Benghazi. That’s what a commander does.

As a parent, who here believes he would take a bullet to protect his own child. I don’t. He would hide like the despicable coward that he is.

“... and that “the Obama administration’s behavior post-Benghazi has been weird; like they’re hiding something.”

I like Greta, but she can be incredibly naive.

Obama “hiding something “ is not weird, it’s their MO.

A "stand down" has meaning to the operators already on the ground in Iraq during the attacks.

No "stand down order" was necessary to stop the in-progress rescue attempts gearing up in Europe. All Obama had to do was disappear for the night without granting explicit Cross-Border Authority. Without explicit CBA from the POTUS, no U.S. military forces could cross the Libyan border.

If Nixon was a Democrat, there never would have been a Watergate scandal. The MSM would have helped cover it up.

Benghazi was covered up by Obama because a terrorist attack two months before the 2012 election couldn’t be the narrative.

The Republicans have been making hay about it with a cast of people who have been hurt by those awful events of two years ago.

We are getting into the 2014 political season so we get this awful story paraded before us.

Democrat Wendy Davis in Texas talks about her abortions from the past to raise emotional hay for the sake of her campaign efforts.

Both parties (the Uniparty) in Washington keep moving us in the wrong direction. The current budget we operate under courtesy of Paul Ryan (R) and Patty Murray (D) continues to spend too much. It cut military pensions and created new taxes in the form of airline fees.

Earlier this year Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell voted to end debate so the national debt could be increased again.

I’m not going to be sucked into supporting the GOPe by the political propaganda that demonizes the other guys common in our political system.

THE ENDGAME HERE IS THAT THE REPUBLICANS WILL MAKE EMOTIONAL NOISE ABOUT BENGHAZI BUT DON’T INTEND TO PUNISH ANYONE CRIMINALLY (IF ITS POSSIBLE?) EVEN IF THEY HAVE POWER. ITS ALL EMOTIONAL POLITICAL NOISE TO GAIN SUPPORT FOR THE GOPe.

What was "Bob" waiting for?

A better question is WHO is "Bob" ?

Rumors say "Bob" is a CIA person in an unnamed position. Baloney.

They are playing games with us folks. Have been for a while now.

Want to know who BOB is ?

Barack Obama.

Does anybody think for a moment that the media would not be covering Benghazi 24/7 had it happened during a Republican administration?

Further, does anyone think for a moment that the media wouldn’t be raising hell 24/7 if a Republican administration had pressured them to back-off a potentially damaging story?

I sure hope Trey Gowdy kicks some a$$ in his upcoming hearings on Benghazi.

I asked just last night on another thread how many times this regime has attacked Fox News and its individual reporters by name, and how many times they’ve been shut out of press conferences. I guess add two more to that number, whatever it is.

weird; like they’re hiding something

That describes Obama's career from Day One.

The ambassador was supposed to be captured.

The Operators had “Balls the Size of Cue Balls?” according to a ticked off Biden as he awkwardly told the father of Tyrone Woods when his body was being returned.

FOX has one hell of a backbone. They are NOT going to be shoved around by Obama or any of his thugs.

Who was Benghazi Bob? What was his mission? Who were the bosses between him and Obama?
