Were they denied requests for help during the attack? he asked... .

Well, we are finding out exactly what happened, the president again said. I can tell you, as Ive said over the last couple of months since this happened, the minute I found out what was happening, I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to. Number two, were going to investigate exactly what happened so that it doesnt happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice. And I guarantee you that everyone in the state department, our military, the CIA, you name it, had number one priority making sure that people were safe. These were our folks and were going to find out exactly what happened, but what were also going to do it make sure that we are identifying those who carried out these terrible attacks.> First of all this is the first time I have heard Zippo saying this and it's been 45 days since the attack. Second, everything he says after the first directive is in past tense.
He is cornered and has no teleprompter. I believe he was AWOL after the 6PM email that stated that the attack had stopped and the consulate cleared.
I say this for two reasons. At 10:00PM Hillary released a press statement that reads;
I condemn in the strongest terms the attack on our mission in Benghazi today. As we work to secure our personnel and facilities, we have confirmed that one of our State Department officers was killed. We are heartbroken by this terrible loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and those who have suffered in this attack.In her statement she mentions speaking with President Magariaf no doubt asking him for military support because POTUS was AWOL and she could not order Military action. It is being reported today on Fox that the request for help at the annex was denied because the station chief was waiting for Lybian help that of course never came.This evening, I called Libyan President Magariaf to coordinate additional support to protect Americans in Libya. President Magariaf expressed his condemnation and condolences and pledged his governments full cooperation.
Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.
In light of the events of today, the United States government is working with partner countries around the world to protect our personnel, our missions, and American citizens worldwide.
Indeed, one of the videos shot with a cell phone of one of the attackers emerged around the time four Americans were killed. It shows a mob approaching the American compound under siege, clearly telling the terrorists in the dialect of Upper Egypt: "Mahadesh, mahadesh yermi, Dr. Morsi ba'atna" which translates to: "Don't shoot, don't shoot, Dr. Morsi sent us."This was clearly planned by the Obama campaign with decreases in security and denials of security leading up to the September 11 "hostage" taking operation.
I think you are probably right. The contractors messed up the plan by refusing to stand down and going to the Ambassador’s rescue. Those 6 guys killed over 60 of the enemy while losing only 2 of their own. Plus the Ambassador and his aide.
I wasn’t there and I don’t have an inside source.
The “Trade For The Blind Sheikh Theory” hinges on the American security personnel throwing a monkey wrench into the deal. Without their efforts, the Ambassador would have been easily captured and then traded for the blind sheikh.
Then, why didn’t they get the Ambassador? He used to go running by himself. In that part of the world, that would have been an easy grab.
If Hillary and Obama went through all the effort to plan and execute this very complicated plan to have our Ambassador kidnapped, then they would have also had a plan to coverup any failure. They wouldn’t have run and hid in their bedrooms.
Hillary and Obama were caught off guard by Benghazi. That’s why they ran and hid. They needed time to coordinate a political response.
Some one set them up the Al-Qaeda bomb!
