WASHINGTON | A former top diplomat in Libya on Wednesday delivered a riveting minute-by-minute account of the chaotic events during the deadly assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi last September, with a 2 a.m. call from Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and confusion about the fate of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens.
In a slow, halting and sometimes emotional voice, Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission who was in Tripoli, described for a House committee how a routine day on Sept. 11, 2012, quickly devolved as insurgents launched two nighttime attacks on the facility in eastern Libya, killing Stevens and three other Americans.
The hours-long hearing produced no major revelation while reviving disputes over the widely debunked comments made by U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice five days after the attacks and the inability of the U.S. military to respond quickly.

The last one sounds about right,guess where it came from?;)
Yeah, if I worked for the United States diplomat in a dangerous foreign country, and I called for help and heard US Government employees calling for help while being attacked, and no help came and no word came from home telling me that help was on the way, I’d be confused.
Someone was not following the script. Conspiracy theory was that the Ambassador and CIA were supposed to be captured and held ransom for the Blind Shake but things went wrong. Then thy tried to capture a bunch of oil workers and that fell through also.
Yeah, unfortunately not only is the msm complicit so is most of congress.
The WH took F.E.S.T. out of the options early on, to paraphrase Thompson.
>Does Huma Abedin have a security clearance?<
.
You bet your a$$ — the Muslim Brotherhood issued one with Hillary’s recommendation.
agree...but convinced this is not going anywhere...he’ll be given a pass...present...as usual!
The really suspicious part is when Hitlery was prominently thanking “the good Libyan people who tried to help the Ambasador by taking him to the hospital...”
Yet she KNEW the “Good Samaritans” were the SAME group as the ATTACKERS..!
And that they “rescued” him also to a hospital controlled by THEIR group —why would they hang around there for FIVE HOURS if their objective had not been to revive and KIDNAP him...?
They attacked him out of hate, but then attempted rescue after a change of heart? Very dubious.
I think the “blind sheik/Ambassador” swap story might not be so crazy, after all.
Whoops, I nearly forgot:
The video of when the “rescuers” found Stephens —what did they scream? ALLAH AKBAR...! And their body language was like gangsters who’ve successfully robbed a liquor store —clearly “hi 5’ish”.
And yet, so determined were our leaders to lie that they claimed —ridiculously— “They’re screaming that out of relief they’d FOUND SOMEONE ALIVE....”
Confusion my a$$. Bozo is still blowing smoke. He is gonna start a war, aright, but it won’t be the one overseas he wants.
The only confusion was what the excuse would be after they sentenced their ambassador to death.
Pray for America to Wake Up
They couldn't use the drones because they claimed the drones were not armed. But they were. Obama was in a "hell if you do, hell if you don't" situation, and he picked (by refusing to pick) the "hell if you don't" and went to bed.
Hillary was trying to keep US presence in Libya, and her success would have helped her Presidential run. Obama/Jarrett are assisting the Muslim Brotherhood in a takeover of the rest of the world. The Armed Drones are Obama's private army used to assassinate enemies of the MB.
Hillary and Stevens got in the way of that, and they both lost.
It's why Hillary resigned so quickly.
No confusion. Just a terrorist attack to which our leaders were unwilling to respond properly.
“the inability of the U.S. military to respond quickly.”
It was NOT the inability of the military to respond quickly. It was a total failure of leadership at the very top levels of the State Dept/White House and DOD.
Sorry, Hilary missed the 3:00am call... Confusion is not the response!
Could you give me a link to that? I'm trying to collect as many sources on this story as possible.
Better than that. Go to GOOGLE and type "armed drones libya 2012"
There will appear multiple links/sources.
OK, I did that and found nothing. Only articles about flying armed drones during the NATO action in Libya.
