“Panetta ... and top military commanders had judged it too dangerous to send troops to the eastern Libyan city without a clearer picture of events on the ground.”
Isn’t that an admission that they were involved in the decision not to send help?
I don’t think they could finalize that without Bam’s okay.
It does seem like Panetta can’t have it both ways.
He wasn’t asked but he decided not to? Was he channeling Bill Clinton?
