BREAKING: US Benghazi Hero Waited 20 Hours For Help With a Shredded Leg – While Obama Campaigned in Las Vegas

Diplomatic security agent David Ubben, like former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, ran into the Special Mission Compound (SMC) to help save US officials under siege in Benghazi. Ubben was struck by a mortar round that killed Woods and Doherty. His leg was shredded. Ubben was forced to wait twenty hours before a plane was sent to pick him up.

While Ubben was waiting for help with a shredded leg Barack Obama was campaigning in Las Vegas.

Not as much as I detest Democrats, but getting there!!

I've actually found them to be, at least on the national level, more detestable than democrats. The democrats are at least honest about their intentions (despicable as they may be); Republicans, on the other hand… well they are liars.

Pick a platform plank, and look at how on the national level they don't push for it at all.
-- Adding "no exceptions" to the stance against abortion.... only to nominate Mr. "Of course I support abortion in the case of incest and rape"
-- Firearms.... when was the last time you heard discussion about repealing the GCA or NFA?
-- Government accountability.... Fast & Furious, Bengahzi, the debt ceiling, blatant bankruptcy-law violation [GM bailout], IRS scandal, NSA scandal, etc.

And so on.


A perfect illustration would be when Obama derided average Americans as being bible-clinging gun-owners... see? Open, honest disdain.
Republicans, on the other hand, spout all sorts of talk… but can't be bothered to put their money where their mouth is — and things like the NSA and NDAA reveal just how little the Republicans actually do respect us.

AFAIK, none of the survivors have testified publicly before Congress.
What the hell is going on?

Kabuki. They want to present the image that they're investigating but not actually do anything about the situation. (Look at Fast and Furious or the IRS scandal for examples.)

This was a State Dept. employee. Where was Haglary while this was happening?

I don’t think Congress will care. Few hearings, Clinton claiming it doesn’t matter, now they did their job. They LOOKED INTO IT. Now no one cares.

I mean that seriously. Do you think Congress will DO anything about it?

My guess - everyone in Benghazi signed non-disclosure agreements because of whatever they were doing there. Therefore, they cannot testify because they can’t say (or possibly even admit) that they were there or discuss what they were doing.

This story is outrageous, but it is complicated by the non-disclosure agreements. I would think anyone would have to think twice before they went to work for this administration in a country like Libya. This story is shameful!

Get on the media’s own websites’ message boards and put it there.

Don't really know the cause, can only speculate, but something is bad wrong.
There is enough to impeach the bastard 20 times over and nothing is being done.

Three Facts

Fact One:

1) Only the POTUS can authorize a CBA (cross border authority) command for a rescue mission in a foreign nation.

Plus Fact Two:

2) No rescue mission was attempted.

Equals Fact Three:

3) 0bama turned his back on 41 State Dept. and CIA employees refusing to issue a CBA command and went to bed so he could go to Las Vegas the next day.

-------------------------------------------------------

0bama expected all 41 to die. For him the screwup was that there were survivors.

And the paid liars, Hillary, Rice, even the pathetic black-mailed Petraeus, were trying to sell the Muslim video story to the nation. Of course, they had the usual assistance of the lapdog media, so Obama knew he could get away with his gross dereliction of duty.

Ubben will be receiving a visit from the Special Executive Liasson Office for Phony Affairs, to remind Ubben that his family is still alive for now.

This is another indicator of Obama’s lack of care and concern for the citizens of The United States. The goal of the Democrat party is to be elected so they can access the public treasury in order to loot it.

Hopefully his family owns cars that can’t be hacked.

The eventual blowback this president will have to endure will be massive and consuming in every aspect of his life.

He'll be living abroad on day #1 of his post presidential life.

Interesting argument showing how Barry’s presidential executive privileges are null and void. Going to be a long and hard battle to pry that tick out of Americas backside.

I suspect it will be a bloody mess.

Meaning they were there illegally doing an illegal action ? Didn’t Ollie North find himself in a similar situation ? It turned out all right for him because he told the truth.

“This was a State Dept. employee. Where was Haglary while this was happening?”

Actually, I think that the biggest scandal of all may very well be; where was Obama that night, who was he with, what was he doing? If you may notice not a single reporter, congressman, pundit, has stated anything on these questions nor has anyone, absolutely no one even speculated about Obama and that night. No, not even Rush, Hannity, or any conservative reporters or otherwise talking heads will so much as touch this. That’s how toxic the subject is.....

If only the RINO leadership had a set.

All they have to do is say nothing moves in Congress until the American people get answers to these "phony" scandals.
