" This is the first I have read about helicopters and Marines going to the rescue. "

And we are told that this would be the most transparent Administration ever.

I guess they are borrowing from the story of when Carter sent in the Marines in his attempt to rescue the 52 hostages from Iran, because we are never given the truth from this Administration unless they are telling us that our taxes are going up.

This perhaps ? Maybe ? this is where they are getting their story from ?
How can the people of America know the truth of what happened without them giving us more information...

Here are excerpts from 2 articles talking about all the people rescued and about David Ubben who is at Walter reed. Where are all these people now? The administration had at least 30 to 60 people who were there to give first hand info. This was not a fog of war. I am convinced this was supposed to be a kidnapping intone bad.

“While squeezing Secretary Clinton’s hand and choking back tears, I told her that what worried me was that my son died possibly thinking that he had failed in the mission he was to carry out, that of protecting Ambassador Stevens and the people in the compound”
“Looking me firmly in the eye, she told me that my son did not fail. She called him a hero and that if not for him, the 30 people inside the consulate would not have made it out. He was doing his job, fighting for his life, putting others ahead of his own safety, but then that was his job, which he did well.”

At the annex, Mr. Ubben suffered head and leg injuries from a mortar explosion. He was released this week from intensive care but remains at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, in Bethesda, Md., the State Department official familiar with his role said.

Mr. Ubben, a Marylander, is married and has a stepdaughter and an infant son. He is conscious and able to communicate, according to his father, Rex Ubben.
“He’s in good spirits,” the senior Mr. Ubben said. “They’re pretty confident that he’ll be able to walk again.”

There was a team of Marines were dispatched overnight... FOX wouldn't [and shouldn't] know right when it happened unless our security was leaking like a seive but eventually FOX found out and reported it that Wednesday morning as noted by this freeper:

SEPTEMBER 12, 2012 AM : (LIBYA : TEAM OF MARINES HAS BEEN DISPATCHED TO BENGHAZI TO SECURE THE SITE) Fox Breaking News:A fast team of 50 US Marines dispatched to Benghazi to secure consulate. 36 posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 10:00:26 AM by exit82

There was a later report on a Libya deployment tucked into an article about Sudan- in this case the deployment is to Tripoli, not Benghazi, but I'mnot sure if it refers to the same report as the one of the 12th above :

SEPTEMBER 13 or 14, 2012 Fri : (LIBYA : REPORT : US MARINE RAPID RESPONSE TEAM WAS DISPATCHED TO LIBYA) an earlier contingent [a Marine rapid response team] dispatched to Tripoli. --------- Marine unit en route to Sudan to secure US Embassy, FoxNews.com ^ | September 14, 2012 | unattributed

I don't know if those earlier mentions were to Benghazi or Tripoli as the Freepers didn't include a link to their info. The articles may be about totally separate groups of marines sent on different days. The freepers may have just assumed the deployment was to Benghazi, or maybe they were right, hard to tell. One early report the morning after the attack read as though a deployment of Marines sent to the rescue ran into a fight on the way in.

A later report on the 14th said Libya closed down Benghazi airport and saw US drones overhead which they believed were signs of imminent deployments of US forces, but the article implied the Libyans in Baghazi had not yet seen anyone actually arrive, marine or otherwise.
