It's called "beat the clock"... lie, delay, obfuscate, deflect until the election.

Obama administration officials defended their response to... that the White House failed to send help quickly enough as militants overran the mission.

Typical piss-stream media report!!

From Fox:

"Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back was denied by the CIA -- the CIA operators were twice told to "stand down" rather than help the ambassador's team."

This article is infuriating to read. It is clearly an attempt to make it appear that they’re covering the new claims when in reality they glossed over everything. Like the fact that the position of the enemy firing on the CIA annex was painted by a laser so that air support could hit them. There were 2 drones, and it’s been reported that one of them was armed. If so, then this isn’t about Libyan airspace being at issue or help not being available - it is an issue of the help that was already there being specifically told it COULD NOT provide support. A drone was given the exact place to hit and was specifically told not to do so - instead allowing that target to hit and kill the former SEALs.

This is inexcusable, and for this article to ignore the substance of what was revealed yesterday stinks to high heaven.

Then release the order Obama signed to save the lives of Americans.
Of course, there will be no order release because there was no order to protect our own.

I think they didn’t order attacks on the enemy and let our people die because they were working with the attackers. If they bombed the attackers surely the group would have let the world know what was going on. Blackmail, really.

“Correction: October 17, 2012

The headline with an earlier version of this article misidentified the source of the identification of Ahmed Abu Khattala as a commander in the attack that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens. Libya has named Mr. Abu Khattala, not the United States.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/18/world/africa/libya-singles-out-islamist-as-a-commander-in-benghazi-consulate-attack.html

There is no way to deny this man was the ringleader of the attack and this man was also in control of the hospital that the ‘good Libyans’ took our ambassador to. Our government is covering their dirty arse.
