Yet the general in charge of Africa Command has said he received no such directive.

Is this the same general that was demoted to a 3 star?

The Benghazi scandal is getting press like Fast and Furious never got.

The American people are interested because it is more convoluted than the most complex NCIS episode.

You have murder, sex, espionage, intrigue, special ops, CIA and who knows what else.

And they are way in over their heads with the bad actors in the world today. This is not going to end well. No wonder gun sales are going through the roof in this country. This could get ugly fast. God help us.

Sure the President sent that order-—That is why they are firing an Admiral and a General.

Lying sack of crap.

The only way to connect the dots is to assume everyone in the administration is lying for political reasons. Makes Watergate look like bean bag.

THANK YOU!! I've been screaming at the top of my lungs, ask Obama WHEN he gave the directive...Yet only a few here picked up on it and NOBODY in the MSM!

This is where Obama's screwed because there has to be some kind of paper trail or someone heard him say it or NOT say it. Furthermore, even if he did give a directive, why was it not immediately followed?

The key is "WHEN" was the directive issued?

I just want the question asked as to What the Hell was an Ambassador Doing in a Hotbed of AlQueda Activity in the First Place.Our Embassy is in Tripoli and there is NO consulate listed in Benghazi. There was a Black Ops going on there and Stevens was CIA and this is Bad
