Per some reports, besides Woods and Doherty, 2 other Americans and some 60 Libyan security guards initially accompanied them.

Those other 2 were the ones who recovered the body of the Ambassador’s aide, Sean Smith, IIRC.

I understand that there were people evacuated from the embassy, or whatever it is called today. Some numbers I’ve heard are 20-30 were helped by the two SEALS who then went back to find/help Stevens.

If this is true, I wonder why we have heard nothing from any of them as to what was going on....you know, like a protest, or an ambush or whatever.

"The White House on Saturday flatly denied that President Barack Obama withheld requests for help from the besieged American compound in Benghazi, Libya." So did he ordered immediate action or did he file those requests in the circular file?

"Everyone, and I mean everyone, knows that this Benghazi mess is a million times worse than Iran Contra, DESERT ONE and Watergate all rolled into one."

Not until the Dime Store Media says so, this is all so much inside baseball to the lemmings.

If, as the aide says, he didn’t deny the requests then the aide is admitting there were requests. Earlier, they denied there were any requests.""""".....

Oh gee, you had to go and discover that?/sarcasm.

Bet that idiot don't get sent out again to speak.

Got to TAG someone else for tomorrow to deny what this aide said.

Freeper Sleuths are just hard to beat.

President Barack Obama said repeatedly Friday that his administration would “find out what happened”.

Ummm, Mr. President, this took place over SEVEN WEEKS AGO. Exactly how long is it going to take you to find out? You were supposedly there in the situation room as it was unfolding. Were you unaware of what was happening at that time? And if so, how can you credibly say that you are qualified for the office that you hold?

Here's the important take away from all these denials: POTUS has the final call.

Whatever happened or didn't happen begins and ends w/ POTUS.

End of story.

Please forgive me for the multiple links I am posting. I have been Tweeting my brains out tweeting articles to foreign press; Senators Rand Paul and Jim DeMint; Congressman Trey Gowdy (SC-R). Allegedly, Rand Paul has already "gone nuclear" over Benghazi-Gate."

Both Benghazi and WTC attacks occurred on 9/11.
By 10/7, Bush had the military invading Afghanistan to track and kill everyone involved. He knocked over two whole countries in retaliation for the 9/11 events.
It’s 10/28, and the Obama is pointing fingers.

Denied? Maybe (technically) not.

But, from the GLD story, (if true) armed aerial assets were overhead with a designated target (the mortar) -- and "Weapons Free" was never issued.

Sounds like denial by omission", to me...

The Dems have fallen embarrassingly far from where they stood in Truman's day.

Charlene Lamb refused (”denied or ignored”) to extend the security Strike Force (despite dispatches about growing local threats).

________________________

“......The colonel and Mr. Nordstrom were fighting a long-distance battle of emails and phone calls with the State Department to maintain a large security presence.

But Charlene Lamb, who was in charge of international programs for the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security, rejected their requests. State wanted to create a picture of normal operations in Libya......”
