Fox News has also learned that Stevens was in Benghazi that day to be present at the opening of an English-language school being started by the Libyan farmer who helped save an American pilot who had been shot down by pro-Qaddafi forces during the initial war to overthrow the regime. That farmer saved the life of the American pilot and the Ambassador wanted to be present to launch the Libyan rescuer's new school.
I don't believe this, not one bit.
Stephens has repeatedly requested security, obviously knew the area was hazardous. He's not gonna take a risk like that for a reason like this. Who was the Turkish guy he met with immediately preceding the attack?
‘Bout time the “Derelict-in-Chief” stood down....
What I can’t understand is why has not CIA Director Petraeus spoken? It was his mission. I had considered him an honorable man and commander. I now begin to wonder.
Barack Hussein Obama is guilty of treason. It is time for the House of Representatives to inform the White House that they will begin impeachment proceedings. A landslide against this evil administration is not enough. Traitors should be dealt with. ASAP.
This is looking more and more like an attempt by the president to get the ambassador kidnapped and then successfully negotiate his release before the election.
But then that smoke inhalation thing ruined everything.
At every turn, this event gets worse.
The media doesn’t care, just like Somalia. It wasn’t until the book came out that anyone knew what really happened. Clinton made the military responsible and that was that.
Obama tried to do kind of the same thing here. 10 years ago - before the independent internet media got its foot hold - it would have worked.
Our politicians are playing by the old media rules and keep getting caught and can’t figure out why. Stupid.
Another thing about this that is so disgusting...
Colin Powell approves of all this!
Is this the least surprising for a president who refused three opportunities to get Bin Laden—such that Panetta finally had to orchestrate a movement to act without his approval?
Or for a president that’s been aiding and abetting the Al-Qaeda-allied Muslim Brotherhood from his very first days in office?
This is horrifying. I’m speechless.
Rush is leading his radio show with this breaking story right now.
Has Carney preposteroused, or Hussein denied it yet?
There is ONE man in this ‘administation’ that I believed would draw a red line in the sand when it comes to orders from the White House and refuse to follow those orders.
General Petraeus.
He was once called General Betrayus by the extreme left wing, my guess, is now this same group would be lauding his ‘integrity’.
Pravda will ignore this. Or if they do mention it they will discount it because the sources are anonymous and claim Foxnews can’t be trusted.
“A former Navy SEALs manned a blood-soaked machine gun to defend U.S. territory. Meanwhile Apache helicopters sat on the ground in Italy.”
WHY? Why weren’t the Apache helicopters sent to HELP? Why?
Can’t help but compare this to Katrina.
Wow, the complexion of the election just changed completely.
This administration is finished. Done.
The following is what “I think” the military air assets we have at Sigonella:
1. F16s less one hour to target
2. F18s less than one hour to target
3. AC-135 Gun Ships (Specter) About 1hr 20 minutes to target
4. Apache Helicopters. They could have been on target in a little over two hours. They would have to be refueled on board a Carrier in the Med if we had one available.
If we have a military man on this thread that knows for sure what assets we had available in Sigonella and aboard ships in the Med please join in and comment.
