CBS released information on the Benghazi 9-11 massacre today that could potentially bring down the Obama Administration.
Buried in their report (down in paragraph eight) CBS reported, “Throughout the night, sources say Americans on the ground in Libya at times felt helpless and abandoned… But they were told immediate help wasn’t available.” But, counterterrorism sources and internal emails reviewed by CBS News express frustration that key responders were ready to deploy, but were not called upon to help. CBS reported:
Throughout the night, sources say Americans on the ground in Libya at times felt helpless and abandoned.“We relied on Washington for dispassionate assessment,” one eyewitness told CBS News. “Instead, they [Washington officials] were asking us what help we needed. We answered: ‘Send reinforcements!’ ”
But they were told immediate help wasn’t available.
Embassy personnel say they repeatedly asked the Defense Attache on site in Tripoli for military assistance.
“Isn’t there anything available?” one Embassy official says he asked. “But the answer was ‘no.’”
“What about Aviano?” the official pressed, referencing the NATO air base with US assets in northeastern Italy. “No,” was the answer.
Two of the four Americans killed that night died hours after the first attack began…
…Counterterrorism sources and internal emails reviewed by CBS News express frustration that key responders were ready to deploy, but were not called upon to help in the attack. National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor told CBS News the CSG was not needed.
Ping to #56.
“Good Christians! they with bended knees
Ingulf’d the wine, but loathe the lees,
Averting, (so the text commands,)
With ardent eyes and upcast hands,
The cup of sorrow from their lips,
And fly, like rats, from sinking ships.”
Jonathan Swift
AN EPISTLE TO ROBERT NUGENT, ESQ. [1766]
Exactly, and that is the biggest outrage. We must not rest until the guilty are punished.
You mean the BOZO pulpit?
The next question is “Why were they left to die?”
Were Dumb0 and Hildabeast using Huma to run Lybian arms to the Muslim Brotherhood or AQ so they could overthrow Israel and moderate governments? The world sharia movement seems to get positive press in left-wing circles. I have always observed that leftists gravitate toward evil and this seems no different.
Why?
Could it be that they pulled out their previously approved and coordinated with everyone contingency plans and were running down a checklist getting ready to send help?
I worked that side of the street, contingency special operations for many years and know what should have happened. I also know what didn't happen.
As i have told a decade's worth of students - remember that special operations has a very large political component.
PING!
Okay, Hillary. The ball's in your court. Are you going to respond that you were just following orders, or are you going to regurgitate "What difference does it make?"
she would never say that. She wouldn't need to say it. She would point to some intermediary while Obama 's admin would point to some other intermediary. If they interviewed the two intermediaries they would refer to yet some other intermediaries or some process BS. You would never unravel the pack of lies from this administration. Hillary is a Jedi Master of lies and deception. You think people like Boner could touch these people? :-)
This time, when a left-wing radical throws a temper tantrum during a hearing, the truth seekers shouldn’t back down as if they’ve lost the argument. They should respond in kind by raising up out of their chairs, pound their fist on the table and say “HOW DARE YOU!!!’ and bring it hard!
Exactly.
The spellchecker sez wha? Fiat is a car.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
If Kankles thinks there is a chance that her career could be wrecked she would throw her mother under a bus. :)
Hillary was with Huma and Barak was kanoodling with Reggie Love ...
IMO: All was kept quiet to get him back in office.
Talk of impeachment is ridiculous. Let the truth come out on this and see Dear Leader begin melting away. Parlay that into a sweep of the 2014 election and we can stymie him. Make him the lamest lame duck ever.
"Let justice be done though the heavens fall"
And Send These Criminals To Hell
A pipe dream.
It might damage Hillary and prevent her being the next president.
My guess would be that Biden is managing this attack on Hillary.
