WASHINGTON (AP) — The night of smoke, chaos, gunfire and grenades that killed four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, is well-documented. Eight months later, it is the decisions made back in Washington that remain murky and in perpetual dispute.
Why was a diplomatic outpost left so poorly protected? Should the Pentagon have rushed jets or special forces to the rescue when the assault began? Did President Barack Obama's administration obscure the true nature of the terrorist attack to help him get re-elected?
Congressional Republicans are poking for evidence of incompetence and cover-up in the ashes of the Sept. 11 anniversary attack. Obama dismisses their probes as a politically driven "sideshow."
The release this past week of 100 pages of government emails and notes is the latest fodder, as numerous Benghazi investigations continue.
A look at the issue:

One could consider the actions by the Russians as counteractive to what we have done.
Someone knows if the drone was armed or not. Perhaps,the people who ran it, who drove it,I wonder if they were asked. I know Hannity had one on his radio show one day. To me this is a key question that needs to be asked.
Why would Woods and Doherty light up a lazer target(which was traced back to them and they were killed by the terrorists) if they weren't pretty sure the drone was armed?
I think this is what’s being covered up- our own drone killed
our 2 guys on the roof. Among other things being covered up of course...
This reads like an unbiased report of what happened.
Your opinion is totally accurate. You are absolutely correct.
What we need is to move to the ACTION stage of wielding the "sword of justice" and INDICTING those responsible for their dereliction of duty which allowed FOUR GOOD AMERICANS to DIE.
The question is: "Do we have any ACTION HEROES in Wash D.C.?"... or are we getting just another Kabuki theater performance?
Wow,if that happened,its almost unthinkable!
Maybe this answers a few questions from a seals account.It’s the cross borders thing again only pouts can give that order.
“Two of my SEAL brothers (Doherty and Woods) were in Benghazi, working with the CIA on an intelligence mission to locate shoulder fired surface-to-air missiles that were stolen by Al Qaeda when Libya fell. They heard several shots being fired near the consulate. It was recorded that Ty radioed to inform his superiors and tell them what he was hearing and requested permission to assist at the consulate. However, they were told to “stand down!” An hour later, they called again to report the gunfire and requested to assist and were again told to “stand down!” WHY? And by whom? Only the President can give the order to military units to cross a country’s borders.”
Mind blowing stuff above.Excerpted from the link above.
Where was USS “John C. Stennis” position and WHY was Admiral Gaoette removed from his command like General Carter Ham???
The chain of command ends at the WH. Buy popcorn futures.. and hops. :-)
