We’re starting to settle in.
Obama is trying to keep Libya in a simmering pot with a lid over it, but the lid is starting to bounce and the steam is escaping. The pot lid may fly off and the contents may boil out at any time. They can’t keep it contained for three more weeks.
Desperate people are going to start to do desperate things to extricate themselves from blame.

Direct link to Col. Hunt interview:
Col. David Hunt explains how at least 12 command centers got near INSTANTANEOUS info when the Benghazi consulate was attacked, including a manned WH situation room. Hundreds of government personnel listened/watched for 6 hours in real time as the attack ensued. Hunt says it is standard operating procedure when an embassy is attacked.
WH gave no military order to intervene.
They knew almost immediately that there was NO protest, NO mob-— just a surgical jihad operation viewed instantaneously in real time by governmental operations centers all over the world, including CIA, Dept of State and WH situation room, for over 6 hours (from 3:30-9:30 PM).
In short, everyone knew, almost immediately, what happened in Benghazi was an act of war.
One of the worst things for Obama in this is the release of the movie Argo this weekend. This is one of the best movies I have seen in long time. The similarities between the Iranian take-over of the US Embassy and the Libyan ambassador's brutal execution do not make Obama look good. Instead, it only heigtens the parallels between him and Jimmy Carter, arguably the worst President in history (until Obama, that is). And even Carter came off as more forceful and resolute than does Obama.
Somebody also called up a drone when it started. I think it was overhead an hour after the attack began.
Everyone knew what was going on.
