Here is the fundamental question: Someone gave an order not to assist or attempt to extract Americans under fire when military assets were available. WHO GAVE THE ORDER?

That is the only relevant question at this point. Why they did not give the order ("fog of war", too little information, yada yada yada) or why they covered it up (what we were told, blah-blah-blah.) These are all secondary questions.

All the reasons, rationales and excuses can be given after that answer. There may even be some good ones. Some may indeed be classified. But the answer to this question is not classified. The answer to this question is immaterial to any investigation currently in progress. And the answer to this question has nothing to do with the roles played by State, CIA, or the military in setting up and conducting operations at the Consulate. The answer to this question has nothing to do with what our Ambassador -- or anyone else -- was actually doing there.

The ex-SEAL Dad is the only person asking the right question: "Who gave the order that my son had to die?"

If Dear Leader thinks he's going to throw the CIA under that Canadian-built bus, I want to remind him of some names. Ngô Đình Diệm and Salvador Allende.

The question is, why were we in Libya and Egypt to begin with while ignoring, Iran, Syria, Lebanon and Turkey?

Ghadaffi had been a very good boy since 911.
Ahmadinajahd? Not so much.

I must say I’m disappointed with Petraeus in all this. Why did he testify to Congresss putting forth the bogus video spontaneous demonstration story when we now know that everybody was informed the day of the attack that Benghazi was an attack by militants? Will we find out the truth in all this after the election? Not likely before...

My take is that Zero received an ultimatum from the Russians that their AQ proxies were going to shut down the gunrunning operation to the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria by force and he'd better not lift a finger to stop it or face WWIII.

Zero caved.

It's just speculation, but it fits. Think of it as a Cuban missile crisis in reverse.

We objective observers take exception to the deception charade the Leftwing scumbags are taking at the expense of the Agencies.

Gr8. They have a scapegoat.

Consider this: “Concerns are not for the crime itself so much as are the seriousness of the charges”?

Very dumb of any administration to play with the CIA the way this one has.
