That is near the truth that I saw on the interview.
The warriors on the scene were told to wait and stand down. Apparently both phrases were used. There wa a half hour delay during which the compound was breached and set afire.
The forces outside of Libya were apparently never told to stand down and some preparations may have been made.
That is, there were two forces one at the scene and others elsewhere. The bloody handed Hillary can truthfully say there was no stand down out of the country.
Exactly, and most news reporters are too dim/unaware to ask the correct questions, so the obfuscation works.
