This whole article is a joke. A very weak attempt to cover Obama’s sorry a$$. In all of the articles, stories, and/or reports that I have read or watched, there has not been any mention of Obama’s security team (NSC) being convened to monitor the situation. This should be easy to confirm...just check the calendars for all NSC members. If this had happened, it would have been reported on September 12, and there would be pictures.
The article uses vague terms such as: “One source familiar with the events said there was a sense of urgency.” Was the source in the WH situation room? I am familiar with the events, and I say that there wasn’t a sense of urgency.
FTA: “Officials say that U.S. forces from Europe and Fort Bragg in North Carolina were dispatched in an effort to help”. Which “Officials”? Fort Bragg? How dumb is that?
FTA: “Officials considered sending U.S. warplanes from Italy, but it was decided dropping bombs would lead to civilian casualties.” Which “Officials”? Who decided that dropping bombs would lead to civilian casualties?
The source for the article was a Democrat party hack with no knowledge of the military. The entire article is a joke.
The old media, which includes NPR, believe that they answer to a higher calling. Their higher calling is to coverup and protect the Democrat party because the Democrat party has the higher calling of making a utopia in the United States. The fact that the Democrats haven’t achieved a utopia is explained away by blaming their failures on the Republicans. It’s a brilliant scam. The Democrats really want to give us utopia but they can never quite achieve it because of those rotten Republicans. The leadership of the Democrat party, for the last 60 or 70 years, seems to be able to achieve utopia for themselves. The majority of Democrat voters fail to notice that their leaders achieve utopia, but that doesn’t seem to pass along to the majority of Democrats. This is politely known as REALITY DISCOMFITURE, or, more commonly, being stupid. If your leaders are all wealthy, but they keep telling you that they just can’t quite get that wealth to you, well, then, you are stupid for supporting them.

ROBERTS: Public NOT buying WH explanation of Lybia attack!
“Ham, back in Washington, requested a military counterterrorism force from Europe. But they arrived in Libya the day after the attack and deployed to Tunisia two days later.”
~ Didn’t Ham say that his help was NOT requested?
NPR you lying propaganda-mongering b@$!@rds!!!
What a shameless disgrace!!!
Partisan Media Shills ping. Thanks Drango.

“Officials watched the grainy footage from the drone.”
“Grainy” footage from the drone? Drones might not be perfect, but their images are far from grainy.
MSM playing along with muddying the water, at the expense of patriots.
Truly disgusting.
There was a recent report discussing the so-called WH ‘strategy.’
That conflicts with the Jake Tapper report today that said no drone footage was viewed live by the WH and others. As to this article: this is literally a simple list of "conservative claims" and the "facts" used to refute are straight-out Obama and Co. talking points. I do agree that it is curious that NPR would be putting out such a lengthy story even as biased as it is. I guess we will know sooner than later since this is simply moving it to the front burner again.
He was ?
We knew they would do this....it isn’t going to help. They have told so many lies they can’t even keep up with them anymore.
” - - - A decision was made: No close air support, not even as a show of force that could possibly disperse the fighters. The Americans, and their Libyan allies fighting with them on the ground, were on their own. - - - “
If you get in Military trouble, Commander-in-Chief OBAMA WILL LEAVE YOU BEHIND.
Somebody better stand up and soon. This horrible man and his party needs to be exposed. Reading the comments at the WP would turn your stomach. Progs!
We need to humiliate and shut these traitor tools down.
Another NPR Coverup.
They don’t know how to report truth.
“~ Didn’t Ham say that his help was NOT requested?”
AFRICOM Leader General Carter Ham Was Never Ordered to Save US Men in Benghazi
Per Rep. Jason Chaffetz R-UT asking General Ham directly:
(close paraphrase)
Did we have assets in the area? The answer is “yes”.
Did we have proximity? The answer is “yes”.
Why we didn’t send in some of those assets? The general said he was not requested to do so.

the drone could have easily eliminated
the Taliban mortar team
“Why we didn’t send in some of those assets? The general said he was not requested to do so.”
NPR must have missed that interview!
I’m curious about Ham being in DC that very day...why was he there? Was he with the President when all was going down?
