Perhaps this is how the administration is justifying the statement that they did not “deny any requests for assistance”. They had the full resources of the US military at their disposal to launch a rescue, and our people no doubt expected just such a mission, and instead Barry sent in some Libyan rent-a-cops.
I believe that’s the word game they’re playing by denying that assistance was “denied”.
Perhaps someone can help find the reports where there was talk of some Libyans sent to the scene”

Here’s the story from “Stars and Stripes” :
Libya Military Tensions Hampered Post Attack Rescue Effort
The eight-member American team had rushed here from the Libyan capital, Tripoli, arriving at the airport about 2 a.m. on Sept. 12, hours after the attack on the U.S. mission that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and State Department staffer Sean Smith. The rescuers needed a ride to a second U.S. facility where more than 20 Americans were waiting to be evacuated.
This is absolute insanity.
