I don't want to go under the bus!

This is a very interesting article by Sharyl Attkisson at CBS News. It’s very long and covers different topics surrounding Benghazi, from the decision not to deploy FEST to how the talking points came about.
The quote below talks about how certain anonymous White House officials say that the missteps in Benghazi was less about malice and more about incompetence. For instance, they claim that the reasoning behind not deploying the counterterrorism unit known as FEST stemmed from a misunderstanding of FEST’s role and ability. One official does pin the decision not to send in FEST on Under Secretary Patrick Kennedy, though the State Dept. would not admit to it.
If all of this is true in the report, the bottom line is whether it was incompetence or malice, it’s completely and utterly unacceptable and the truth should be made known to the American people.

I don't want to go under the bus!
Btt for later
So FEST must be like an international SWAT team...They certainly should have been sent to negotiate a hostage situation had one happened in the aftermath of the military assault that didn’t take place...
Perhaps the U.S. President knew or at least was hoping there wouldn’t be any hostages...
Who relieved General Ham and who issued that order to have him relieved right after Ham decided to launch a rescue?
Can’t disagree with that....
“What was Hillary doing? She can’t hide behind subordinates”
I REALLY think she was drunk as a skunk, but I can’t rule out that she went out for a bite of carpet.

Whatever the othugo regime has Kennedy, it should keep him in line under the bus so little barry bastard frak reamins untainted by his own treachery toward those in Benghazi. The bravery of those who died saved the lievs of more than thirty that night, more than thirty that the sonofabitch in the White House bedroom was willing to leave for the islamosalime to rape and murder. Never forget what this bastard resident was willing to allow!
LOL!!!
“...sort of a cartoonish impression of military capabilities and military forces.”
-Robert Gates
About that cartoonish military force, the Clowns wish that they has sent them in.
A senior State Department official Thursday told CBS News, "Under Secretary Kennedy is not in the decision chain on FEST deployment" but would not directly confirm whether Kennedy or somebody else dismissed the FEST. [FEST leader] leader Mark Thompson says Benghazi was precisely the sort of crisis to which his team is trained to respond. While it was the State Department that's said to have taken FEST off the table, the team is directed by the White House National Security Council.

If Benghazi coulda been blamed on anyone lower than Zero or Hillary, it woulda happened by now....
