Security team pulled out of Libya in August
Rick Moran

The blundering boobs at the State Department recalled a 16-man security team in August just as the Libyan diplomats were asking for more security, not less.

CBS News has learned that congressional investigators have issued a subpoena to a former top security official at the US mission in Libya. The official is Lt. Col. Andy Wood, a Utah National Guard Army Green Beret who headed up a Special Forces “Site Security Team” in Libya.

The subpoena compels Lt. Col. Wood to appear at a House Oversight Committee hearing next week that will examine security decisions leading up to the Sept. 11 Muslim extremist terror assault on the U.S. compound at Benghazi. U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three of his colleagues were killed in the attack.

Lt. Col. Wood has told CBS News and congressional investigators that his 16-member team and a six-member State Department elite force called a Mobile Security Deployment team left Libya in August, just one month before the Benghazi assault. Wood says that’s despite the fact that US officials in Libya wanted security increased, not decreased.

Barrack Obama and Hilary Clinton’s efforts to cover the details behind this attack even though inept, have been mindblowing.

Does anyone really believe that news reporters could trample over the scene mere days after the attack but that investigators couldn’t possibly reach the scene for weeks? Any evidence would have been compromised(or taken away) in that length of time. I think that must have been Hilary and Obama’s desperate plan.

Wouldn’t it be a death knell for both of them and the Administration if it was discovered that the heavy weaponry used in the attack had been secretly provided to the “rebels”(akaThe Muslim Brotherhood) to overthrow Qadaffi without the knowledge of Congress or the American people? Our Dear Leader has shown that he has a penchant for doing things on his own, has he not?

What’s that?   If the Obama camp wants to act as if something won’t get done without money set aside for it, hows come that didn’t stop them from laying out $165M for the Illinois prison, which is completely unfunded?

Zero would give GITMO prisoners new digs and a place to meet with their relatives and MB bruthas, sooner than they would protect a threatened US Ambassador begging for more security!   (That should play better in Peoria!)

Taking responsibility is way over their heads and their response shows how completely incompetent this administration is. They really need to pack it up and go.

" Typical leftist projection... "

Yup, now they fault Paul Ryan on his " proposed " budget to cut spending that has not even been voted on or enacted.

... and yet, Obama and crew pulled it off WITHOUT Ryan’s budget ... brilliant !

Exactly - trying to replace an atrocity by the Admin with a "coulda" by the worst nightmare to the Dims in a long time...
They continue to spout the stoooopid and that will work to our advantage, especially if Zero tries it during a debate schooling session.
