EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say
Fox News ^ | October 26, 2012 | Jennifer Griffin

Posted on 10/26/2012 8:37:22 AM PDT by Snuph

Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that three urgent requests from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. Consulate and subsequent attack nearly seven hours later were denied by officials in the CIA chain of command -- who also told the CIA operators to "stand down" rather than help the ambassador's team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11. Former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were part of a small team who were at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. Consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When they heard the shots fired, they radioed to inform their higher-ups to tell them what they were hearing. They were told to "stand down," according to sources familiar with the exchange. An hour later, they called again to headquarters and were again told to "stand down."

” The Marxist is finished. One way or another.”

He will lose the election.

Bill Ayers will write a best seller for him.

Google and Yahoo, and God knows how many leftist high-tech

companies will throw money and free stock at him (consultant).

He will attempt to interfere in foreign policy, but not get far.

Nobody will prosecute him for treason, sad to say.

Thanks for the heads-up. Will DVR because I won’t be able to watch it in real time tonight.

At the very least, this particular betrayal to the country and the Woods’ family should strike a dagger in the heart of every American who either has served, has had family who served, or has family currently serving in the military.

That just about includes every American alive.

“The lib spin is Woods disobeyed orders.”

LOL...Of course it is. The conservative “spin” is, Does anyone want to hazard a guess as to how many more lives would have been lost had NOT Woods disobeyed his (unlawful?) orders? Who exactly was going to rescue those Americans still trapped at the Consulate/mission?

We continue to pray our hearts out.

Evil will NOT triumph this time around.

The Marxist and his evil regime have American blood on their hands.

Their evil cover up is falling apart.

Praise God and all participating patriots responsible for getting the truth to us.

I posted the following 2 days ago:

I wonder if it is even worse than that. The recent Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer(A Marine) was ordered FOUR times to not enter the battle (2010, Afghanistan) in an attempt to rescue his squad from an ambush. After the fourth refusal he said “F*&^ it” and drove in with his driver.

I wonder if the two ex SEALS nearby heard the attack and called in for permission to assist and were denied a few times as well before they said “screw it - we’re going to help”.

Well it should be our mission to push his impeachment and court martial.

We should not stand down from our duty as citizens to hold him accountable! I understand your pessimism but nothing will happen unless the people in this country demand it. I shudder to think what the man can do between nov 6 and Jan. 20 even if he loses! He is a clear and present danger at this point.

Maybe Mitt knew before the last debate that this was bubbling up, and would be better exposed this way instead of him revisiting the issue in the debate.

I think it likely. Governor Romney personaly knew one of the former Seals that was killed. He met Glen A. Doherty at a Christmas party that he went to by mistake. I suspect that he kept in contact. Glen's Mother, Barbara Doherty asked Romney to stop talking about his association because she felt it was being used against Obama. It appears that Glen Doherty's Father and Mother live in separate towns.

” . I shudder to think what the man can do between nov 6 and Jan. 20 even if he loses! “

Now THIS is a deadly serious problem!

There is NO doubt in my mind that Obama will issue “Executive

Orders” to attempt to destroy our economy, and anything else

he thinks will hurt America. Romney needs to rescind every

Executive Order Obama has created since the day he took

office. NO exceptions!

I am pretty convinced that Romney knew much was coming AND SO DID OBAMA........Obama has used and manipulated every venue except a press conference to get ahead of the story with lies and excuses. I truly believe Obama was prepared and begging for it to be about Benghazi, using the debate as another platform for lies. Romney brilliantly took it away from him and that is why Obama was seething. Short of a presser, it was Obamas last chance to address the nation.

This is worse than Watergate and Iran-Contra put together. That’s no exaggeration. We’ve got denied requests for help before and during the attack. These Americans were allowed to perish. All for what, possible gun-running to radicals in Syra, possibly Al-Queda? It’s absolutely stunning.

Absolutely right!

Also, I meant to say watch Bret Baier's News Show tonight. I get it at 5:00PM Central. I think he'll give us the latest details and information regarding his new Benghazi special. Maybe it's scheduled for later tonight? I don''t know.

There's an article posted here wherein Biden said something horrid to Tyrone Woods' father: something about his slain son having balls the size of cue balls! What?

God forgive me, but I HATE the Marxist, Biden and the entire evil regime.

Also this article: Father of fallen Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods: "I do not appreciate cowardice, lies"

That is EXACTLY what happened, except it was only Tyrone Woods, one ex-SEAL (the other ex-SEAL arrived from Tripoli later), and 4-5 others from the Annex who defied the two orders so that they could try to rescue those trapped at the Consulate.

If Obama gets a second term he should be impeached without question. Everyone needs to learn about his careless disregard for the presidency and the safety of American.

You aren’t the ONLY one asking God to forgive my hatred towards these two. The devil can’t take these two soon enough!
Toss in Hillary as well.
