Our Military? Of course they could have!
They were stood down solely due to the failure of the Narcissist-in-Chief to authorize CBA.
Two Veteran Seals, one retired, showed what our Military could do - one fire team, not only given no support despite repeated requests, but apparently ordered to "stand down."
That's an order that would stick in the craw of any of our Elite Forces - Seals, Special Forces, Marine Recon, and all the others. It's the sort of order that, if they had the necessary assets on hand to defeat the attackers, would have resulted in "garbled transmission" not received as they dispatched the enemy.
The Blood of Ambassador Stevens, the Veteran Sean Smith, and the Valiant Navy Seal Vets who held on unaided for seven long hours is on the hands of Obama, Clinton, and their acolytes.
Thanks for th eping, Mesta!

It Wasnt Just Four Americans Abandoned in Benghazi
http://pjmedia.com/blog/it-wasnt-just-four-americans-abandoned-in-benghazi/
With deadly force and weapons of war, foreigners and terrorists attacked
over 30 Americans in Benghazi.
Now, imagine the THINKING and the CALCULATION that went into denying them military assistance!
Clearly, the decision was made that all 30 could be killed and we would not lift a finger.

The question I would ask Panetta is how did he know that this would end so quickly? They don’t know what is going on but they know it will be over in a given time frame ?

And not one member of the White House press corp has asked Obama the direct question.”Why did you order the military to stand down?” They are not journalists. They are colluding wimps.

Dream on.
Do you really think that we have ANYONE in Congress with stones big enough to start the impeachment process?
Who do you think runs the country — the Greatest Generation?

I used to refer to the press as "The Fourth Estate" - now I identify them correctly as "The Fifth Column!"

Looks like Article 99 describes Obama exactly. Whose responsibility is it to bring Article 99 charges against Obama?

What are a few American lives compared to the political futures of Berry and Hilary? The regime never even thought about saving American lives. The only thing they cared about was protecting their political futures. What a disgrace.

Another question is the chain of custody when an emergency request for help is received. There was approximately 1 hour and 48 minutes between the initial phone call to Washington and the order to do ‘everything possible’ was given.

The military hung Lakin out to dry despite their sacred oaths. The high ups like Dempsey are pols.
