“Neither the President nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi during the attack,” National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told The Hill via email.
Do you notice the missing word? Here is what they want you to infer from the quote:
“Neither the President nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for MILITARY assistance in Benghazi during the attack,” National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told The Hill via email.
The fact is that "Security Personnel" were ordered from Tripoli to Benghazi. That's true. But there were no Military personnel sent. That restriction had to the result of the President's direct order. I have yet to hear anyone from the Administration but Leon Panetta talk about MILITARY ASSISTANCE with his lame excuse. Spokesman for the President and the President himself have not, to the best of my knowledge ever mentioned anything but the generic "assistance" which was, in fact, sent.
Just more Word Games from our Transparent President.
Excellent point...! Yes the Tripoli QRF were CONTRACTORS, not active military, so gayMuzzie can avoid lying about having refused MMMMILITARYassistance —civvies see tough guys with guns and they assume “military”. GayMuzzie DID send help technically so his lawyerly conscience is CLEAR.
