Both the CIA outpost and the consulate were attacked on Sept. 11. Two of the men killed, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, were hit by indirect fire while defending the intelligence post, not the consulate.

One witness told Fox News that Doherty and Woods were found on the roof of the intelligence base manning a single machine gun that was caked in blood, suggesting they continued firing after they were hit by a mortar round approximately seven hours after the attack began.

This is so sad. I want to know WHY someone didn’t do something.

Obama had HOURS AND HOURS to save lives.

Father of US bodyguard injured in Libya attack pushes State Department (+video)

Rex Ubben, 60, said he was a 24-year Air Force veteran who retired in 1995 as master sergeant. He was based at various U.S. embassies. Since retiring, he has been a computer programmer for several banks.

He said David Ubben described the violence on Sept. 11 as “obviously an attack and not a riot,” and sketched out what appeared to be a sophisticated mortar attack during the second wave of the assault. That took place at another compound where U.S. and Libyan personnel retreated, and resulted in the death of Doherty and Woods.

“What I wanted to know was whether the second part of the attack was pre-planned. The first (mortar) dropped 50 yards short and the next two were right on target,” he said, adding his son “was not conscious for any more.”

“This indicates to me that someone was either very, very good, highly trained and skilled, or that the mortar was already set up and pointed at the safe house and only minor adjustments were needed,” he said.

The treasonous media has been doing its best to help Obama and utter moron Hillary avoid responsibility for this. The game plan was and is to keep this out of the election time frame

I actually blame Hillary more. An utter incompetent who most of the time seems to be on meds like tranquilizers.

Obama didn't want any of this known before these debates.

Plenty of time to send him help. Disgusting!!

It’s starting to look like the attack on the consulate was designed to “smoke out” the Americans and concentrate them at the annex. These guys may have been really good.

“In reality, CIA agents and other intelligence officials were operating out of Benghazi conducting delicate missions, including the search for over 20,000 deadly shoulder-fired missiles previously owned by Muammar Qaddafi’s Libyan forces.”

Yet, we have other reports saying that this same CIA annex was coordinating transport of these weapons to the Syria rebels through Turkey. So were they searching for them? Or trying to sell them? Or searching for them so that they could then sell them?

Where’s wikileaks when you need them?

Sigonella, Sicily plays home to a large US Naval Air Station, where F-18’s are based. The Sigonella-Bengazi distance is 470 miles, less than Los Angeles to San Francisco or the same as an RT DC/NYC trip —an armed F-18 with ground observation pods can fly that distance in 20 minutes. An AC-130 can fly that distance in less than 90 minutes.

A geared-up QRT team on the ground at Sigonella just SAT THERE with no go-code —they were fully prepared and never went into action.

DERELECTION OF DUTY AND LACK OF COMPASSION.
