The former Regional Security Officer in Tripoli during the months before the Benghazi terror attack that killed the U.S. ambassador told a congressional panel on Wednesday that the State Department's internal review of the diplomatic disaster unfairly let senior political appointees off the hook.
Choking back tears, Eric Allan Nordstrom said the investigation into the terror attack, continued Wednesday during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing, 'matters to me personally, and it matters to my colleagues at the department of state.'
'It matters to the American public for whom we serve, and most importantly, it matters to the friends and family of Ambassador Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, who were murdered on September 11, 2012.'

U.S. State Department's top Libya security adviser: Benghazi decisions were made at the highest leve
Just checking to see what the Brits were saying.
At the highest level of a low level administration.
The truth to this matter...if the ambassador had grasped just how things were turning....had only called the French ambassador in Libya, and asked for him and the French military folks that they had...to come and save him, I believe they would have moved heaven and Earth to save the ambassador. It would have set off a firestorm that an American ambassador had to be rescued by the French government, but he’d likely be alive today.
The most important information that must be learned from sworn testimony is who gave the order to the military to stand down and why. There is no doubt that the 6th Fleet monitored the situation from the beginning and the area commander had an intervention ready to go within minutes. They also have preplanned contingency responses to deal with this type of situation.
TREASON Matters.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
Thanks so much.
The Marxist knew right from the very beginning.

damn interestin point..I will due diligence your assertation...thx
Interesting point. Where were all of America’s friends in the region? Wasn’t Obama’s election to make the world love us again - and didn’t it succeed? Couldn’t other countries come to assist - was it only up to the US military to help?
Apparently, they are the only ones that actually are looking for facts and not trying to protect anyone.
The track I’d like to see now is a full-court press line of questioning of those involved about EXACTLY WHERE WAS THE PRESIDENT AND WHEN during all of this.
Let me guess: It was the Obamanation and it was for political advantage. First, it was to avoid acknowledging that it was a terrorist attack when we'd been told Al Queda had been "decimated;" second, it was to avoid Muslim casualties which would have offended the Muslim world; and last, but not least, it was the lack of courage to make a hard, but right decision. Also, I don't believe the Obamanation had no contact with the State Department after being informed of the attack. Panetta did testify that he had only one telephonic conversation. I believe at some undisclosed subsequent contact the bogus POTUS, with Hildebeast's concurrence, gave the order to stand down.
"The Saudi, Moslem Brotherhood
and al Qaeda monies have already cleared
and are in your accounts.
They are WAITING for your 'green light'
for them to remove the Ambassador,
and finally take down the Seal Team."
Right. We’re supposed to believe Mr Hands-On Obama all but pulled the trigger on Osama but was out of the loop on Benghazi?
Per this article we had NATO had assets , all we had to do was ask.
