“Were they denied requests for help during the attack?” he asked... .

“Well, we are finding out exactly what happened,” the president again said. “I can tell you, as I’ve said over the last couple of months since this happened, the minute I found out what was happening, I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to. Number two, we’re going to investigate exactly what happened so that it doesn’t happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice. And I guarantee you that everyone in the state department, our military, the CIA, you name it, had number one priority making sure that people were safe. These were our folks and we’re going to find out exactly what happened, but what we’re also going to do it make sure that we are identifying those who carried out these terrible attacks.”Everything he says is in past tense. He is cornered and has no teleprompter. I believe he was AWOL after the 6PM email that stated that the attack had stopped and the consulate cleared.
Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to.
So if the very first "order" was to do whatever we need to. Then why wasn't thank done? Who did he give that directive to? Why didn't he answer the question with "We couldn't get help there in time?" Or whatever the spin is now.
He had the Do Not Disturb sign on the bedroom door of Reggie because this was supposed to be hostage taking for a October negotiation for Stevens release to make him look good for November....
If that is true then it makes sense because no one could give the authority to launch an international cross border military action but the CIC so all they could do was tell them to stand down.
And I guarantee you that everyone in the state department, our military, the CIA, you name it, had number one priority making sure that people were safe. You lie!
