We have two likely possibilities for what occurred, plus a subplot involving arms to al-Qaeda, which could be treason.
Incompetence. Abandonment. Treason.
It has been a sickening few days for those of us who have closely followed the revelations coming out about the Benghazi terror attack that killed not only Ambassador Chris Stevens and diplomat Sean Smith, but also CIA operators (and former SEALs) Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, who died undertaking a rescue mission unauthorized to save the rest of the consulate staff.
Weve learned about the incredible heroism of a CIA force that repeatedly called for help for as it was being attacked. Disturbingly, we learned that this force had been told to stand down twice by their chain of command, and that they violated direct orders to conduct this rescue mission. Our consulate staff was left to die.

This is how you end up with “President Joe Biden”
Providing Zero wins re-election
TT
Not until after the election, if at all.
You wrote the article you linked to there, Bob. How stunned could you be? We would all like to know if there were any armed assets in the sky when Woods lazed the mortar team but you haven't proved that there was. What was your source for that? When that shoe drops 0coward will lose all but his most crazed idolators.
The New York Times is waiting for the focus tested ‘story’ crafted well enough to make Obama look heroic and some compromised fallguy - maybe General Petraeus or his type - to take the fall. Then the love of their life - OBAMA - THE ONE - will be reelected. At that point the New York Times will spring to life and cover the story...
