Absolutely right! What is even more ridiculous about that phoney baloney excuse is that Libyan President Magariaf would not have hesitated an instant to give permission if anyone had actually asked him.

Hicks said U.S. officials knew better by then and that the remarks angered the Libyan president, who had gone on record calling it a terrorist attack. That discord prevented the FBI from reaching Benghazi for several days, Hicks said, because the Libyan government was not able to guarantee their safety.
Libyan President Mohamed Yusuf al-Magariaf was "insulted in front of his own people," Hicks said. "His credibility was reduced. His ability to lead his country was damaged."
That makes it pretty clear that Magariaf would not have been any obstacle to a rescue force. He was outraged that 0bama/Hillary/et al called it anything other than a terrorist act.
But as you say, 0bama didn't need permission to act in defense of an ambassador.
We will never hear about this or CBA in the news because they are all enemies of the people of the United States.
Yep, dawned on me I was thinking too hard about this, and the order was never given, that’s why we never get clear reference of it and the actions that would have proceeded such an order.
