Those guys did it —they thought they were risking a Blackhawk Down incident b4 a Presidential election, and so they forbade anyone to help.

That makes more sense than some of the other conspiracy theories

Even Panneta admitted it saying they couldn't risk resources

They already had an Ambassador missing - they did not know until about dawn what had become of the Ambassador. They already had the "pre-election bad incident". The Ambassador is actually the President's personal representative, and his murder is actually an act of war. It's far worse than a Blackhawk Down situation.

The retired Lt. Col. who called in to Rush today summed up how things actually work in these situations.

As long as a President assents to proceeding, every effort is made to get everybody back home safe and sound, and any and all assets can be used. There are forces on standby in every theater for precisely these types of situations.

In order for no help to come, the President would have to have refused to give the order to proceed, in effect, ordering the theater 4-star to not proceed.

Panetta’s statement made no sense.

Supposedly the attack was being watched in real time. So they knew what was going on.

In any event, since when has the military failed to act because they didn’t know all of the details? There was an attack on an ambassador. There were calls for help. What more information was needed?

All that is true

I am repeating what Panetta said

They didn’t want to risk losing the rescue teams etc to the missiles on top of losing the ambassador which means he has admitted they weren’t going to send a rescue mission

That is a direct contradiction to what Obama is saying and Panetta is on record

FOX should be all over this contradiction

Bingo: “As long as a President assents to proceeding, every effort is made to get everybody back home safe and sound, and any and all assets can be used. There are forces on standby in every theater for precisely these types of situations.

In order for no help to come, the President would have to have refused to give the order to proceed, in effect, ordering the theater 4-star to not proceed.”

Ask our Sailors and Naval Security Group survivors of LBJ’s bs re the Pueblo and Liberty.

That miserable bastard, LBJ, probably put them in harms way and then prevented any fire power help to rescue the Pueblo or let the Israelis know, ‘We don’t allow anyone to slaughter our military personnel, even allies!”
