"..there was not enough time, given the speed of the attack, for armed military assets to respond,” Mr. Panetta said."

Total BS! I'm not buying that for one minute! If there was a lack of time, it is because Barry, Hilly and Leon couldn't make a decision, but I think the real reason is that it ruined Barry's naive notion that you can be nice to terrorist and they will reciprocate.

At Airliner speed it is 1 hour 14 minutes from Sig to Benghazi. AC-130 would be longer, a Fighter much less. Assuming there was a Ready alert , the could be up in less than an hour. Add the time ans we could have helped.

Whatever happened to the story of an ADM and a Gen being relieved for attempting to help? Some body ordered all these stand down, who?

Davy Crockett, at the Alamo, and his men held out 13 days agains 15,000 pissed off Mexicans. How could Panetta have known how long the Americans would be able to hold out? Is he able to 'tell the future'? At 5:00 obama was told. Then he left the meeting and did what he did best...he called David Axlerod to get the political assessment. The best they hoped for was all Americans at the annex would be killed. Dead people cannot tell a story. But the SEALS stepped in and queered his hopes. So, after Obama, complicitous with al Quaeda in killing only 4 Americans, he decided to take the 2nd best choice. Transport to Germany and sequester them away from prying eyes for MONTHS. At least until after he steals the election. The lies continue. The democrat senators on the panel, I thought, were going to felate Panetta.

That is about it.

We, I fear, will never know the full story in this life.

No Liberal on the face of the earth is capable of decisive action. NONE!

The inept, spineless, equivocal and “that depends on what the definition of ‘is’, is generation” have NO business whatsoever in positions of responsibility and authority!!! Period.

These old stoners are so attached to their irresolute character, noncommittal and ‘damn the absolute’ mind-set that they are instantaneously paralyzed by circumstances one inch out of the ordinary!

YES character counts! THEIR lack of it cost our ambassador his life.... and it bodes the same and more to come for the rest of us.

No one seems to remember that AFTER panetta and company left the WH, obama had time to call Netanyahu and talk for an hour...with photos yet.

I keep saying it, and as time goes on, there is more and more proof that this was supposed to be a 'no one left alive' operation to be blamed on Israel. Connect the dots!

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

So there was not enough time for armed military assets to respond ... if you don’t count the seals that ran over and responded.
