Whoever gave the order to not engage made a choice and decided that the lives of four Americans were not worth as much as something else.
I wonder what it was.
Had it not been for the SEALS who disobeyed orders, everyone at that compound would have died. No witnesses. No problem.
I wonder what it was.
That is the real question.
Something was going on that the ambassador was involved in that was so top secret and controversial that obumbler was determined that it never be discovered.
His mistake was, as is the case with pathological liars, believing that no one would doubt him.
The result of insane ego.
I never did understand how anyone could have voted for obumbler, but it would seem to me that even the most uninformed voter in the world would not vote for him after today's news.
Devastating.
The four American lives, including the first Ambassador killed since 1979 (Afghanistan), were sacrificed so that Obama could retain the election talking point that alQaeda was in decline ("Osama is dead and GM is alive"), and to avoid the Iran-Contra-style embarrassment of having the US population find out that Obama was supplying alQaeda with weapons to help oust Qaddafi and keep the Arab Spring rolling.
Probably worth the cost, to Democrats.
the attack went on to 4 in the morning, OK now where was obama during this and was he watching the attack and then went to bed, did he go and give the order to stand down?
Simple questions and the media ignore all of this.
ABC is getting hammered about this and let us keep this up on the media and send them mail and to your local media.

Not pissing off the new Libyan govt.
Probably the little Nazi Jarrett, she’s been running the show for the last 4 years. The Fraud went to bed we have been told. Fast asleep while the drone watched the attack and no-one did anything to intervene and attempt to save the Americans under attack.
If Bush had been President, non-stop coverage since the attack happened and this news about watching and doing nothing would have buried Bush. Whoever he ran against would win by 20 points.
This turd is still in it. Go figure
After all the info coming out about this attack on American soil, I agree that there is something more to this, and I am not a conspiracy type. As the facts come out, it is becoming clear that someone decided not to scrambled US forces to secure our sovereign territory. The CIA operatives; SpecOp guys; and gunships were ready to go as I read the latest reports. However, they were told to "stand down".
I've read that only the President can authorized intrusion on foreign soil (Obama's Libya bombing notwithstanding). However, this was not foreign soil. It was USA sovereign ground. That is what an embassy/consulate is about and as has been long recognized by the world of civilized nations.
This is growing and people will go down over this. Unfortunately, it will be lower politicos who take the fall, when it should be the top. We know who they are.

I think it was something to do with his re-election chances. ? For whatever reason, he thought he could postpone this.
I think I am going to be physically ill.
btw I have taken out my contacts to get to bed but wanted to check FR—so please excuse me if this post or any others in the next 20 minutes have typos.
And then I saw this. G*d will judge whoever has blood on their hands. Prayers for the families...

I was having a conversation about just this last night. What was going on? What was moved through the Port of Benghazi that day/night? Why was Stevens meeting with the Turkish ambassador? Why did Stevens go to Benghazi in the first place? Did Clinton order him there?
Who stood to benefit from offing Stevens? When did Delta Force move to Sig? What is/was Stevens background that he might connect some dots that made him a direct target?
Most importantly, what is THE most valuable military (or other) asset of the US?
Why are there no ‘homemade’ videos and bodies of dead terrorists lying about in the photos we’ve seen? Why was Benghazi not secured immediately thereafter?
What ELSE happened in the world that day that may be getting short shrift now due to Benghazi?
Exactly. There had to be something behind all this that sacrificing Americans was somehow worth the risk to not get caught for what ever it is they are covering up. I don’t know which is worse, allowing Americans to die to cover something more sinister or allowing Americans to die because of stupid incompetence. I’m wondering though, if lord asshat couldn’t make a descision wouldn’t Panetta or Petraeus just step in? Makes me lean toward the more sinister theory.
