sigh. My computer doesn’t let me see video. What was said in this? This is reported from the Pentagon apparently, so was she allowed to see the records showing details of what happened? Is the Pentagon giving information that is consistent with the reports she got from Benghazi?

Two thoughts on first watching:

1. The administration denial. You can’t send in armed drones into a crowded battle without knowing where they’ll hit. Isn’t that the entire point of laser guided missiles? We know the exSEAL was painting the target!

2. One drone came back and another sent out. If there was time for all that to take place during the attack, where was the air support? Where were the backup troops?

Sleep, excellent post indeed.

Attack begins at about 9:40, Benghazi. Within 30 minuits, U.S. agents Libyan security drove over to the embassy and searched the small protected (safety lock up) area. “Despite thick smoke”, the agents... found Sean Smith, dead. The Ambassador was gone.

Speechless, rab.

Bolton was on with Greta just now, gun running theory is getting some legs. Bolton said that Turkey turned the probable terrorist responsible for Benghazi, over to Tunisia and not allowing the US to question him. Bolton said several years ago, he would be in Guantanamo, and you can bet he would be talking. Greta asked why Turkey would give him to Tunisia rather than the US. Bolton said, the Turkey pres is suppose to be best friends with Obama. (maybe Obama directed turkey to send him to Tunisia so he WOULDN’T talk)

Did they say where the drones came from? Were they in Libya already, or did they have to cross international borders?

Did they say why Woods was painting a target and to whom he (or somebody at the CIA annex) was sending coordinates?

Did they say why they didn’t make all their assets available in the area so they would have all options open, including crowd dispersal?

Both good points. Can’t wait to find out if there WERE other assets in the air.

I think this was a prearranged kidnap of Stevens and a trade for the Blind Shiek, that unfortunately for Barry, went bad...

The Pentagon response is BS. They said they did not know where the enemy was. Tyrone Wood had a laser target on the morters being fired. Had the cowards taken out that out.
The other Jhadist would have gotten the message.

Girlfriend and I are watching “Act of Valor” on Blue Ray this evening.

All I can think of is.....these S.O.B.’s would give anything for their country. Two FORMER SEALs did just that. They always knew, in the movie, that America had their back.

Not in real life. Not under The Fu**ing Kenyan Muslim’s watch.

Rage...........my God, how I can’t wait until November 6th, all the while praying some NBPP wannabe’s show up at my polling place.

Obama, Biden, Panetta met soon after the attack began, shortly after the State sent the first e-mail.

One was from the northern end of Libya, the second came from Signorella.

No indication where the drones were. Said one came back to refuel and another (unarmed as well) went out.

Woods painting target not mentioned here. That’s from other sources (Gateway Pundit is where I first saw it reported.)
Administration said there was no C130 in the air. (Why not? F16s were not far off as well.)

No answer as to why all assets not available. CIA says they weren’t asked. Gen. Ham said he wasn’t asked. Obama said in the 2nd debate he gave the order. panetta said it was ‘fog of war.’ For 9 hours??

According to an early NBC report (9/12) there were 8 Marines sent from Tripoli to Benghazi and they (along with the two ex-SEALs ignoring orders) helped evacuate the 37 people there except for the Ambassador and the other fatality.

So it was nearly FORTY PEOPLE Obama was letting die. Through disobedience of the ex-SEALs the 37 were saved.

The ex-SEALs have been reported as CIA but actually (reports say) worked for a private contractor ($1 billion contract to this blackwater-ish company).

Breitbart later reported there were NO marines in all of Libya at the time.

So presumably the US handed off all security of our Embassies and staff to this private contractor.

The private contractor likely launched its own rescue mission, which is why the orders were ignored.

Reported that the ex-SEALs were ordered to stand down. By whom? They weren’t military. They weren’t CIA.

So who could order them to stand down? The private contractor firm head?

Ton of questions and none of this is getting clearer.

This is a good resource:

OK key points in this update:

-Confirmed positive facial recognition of known Tunisian terriorist Al Annin Harzi (sp), found traveling on forged documents and turned over to Tunisia. U.S. now unable to access or interagate. Confirmed by Saxb Chambliss (R) GA.

-Two preditor drones used. First sent from base in northeast Libia arrived about an hour after event began. Running low on fuel it was replaced by a drone from Italy. Claims that there were gaps in coverage of the event by the drones. Both were unarmed, question raised as to why the second drone was unarmed since the attack was underway when it was deployed.

The drone was capable of FACIAL RECOGNITION and yet...

Panetta said they didn’t have enough information about what was going on on the ground to send in troops?

Doesn’t add up.
