Let me be the frist to demand Hillary Clinton resign as secretary of state!
Big Media really believes all of America is too brain-dead fixated on DWTS and in love with the president to care.
Are they right?
McCain and Grahamnesty’s interest in this cover-up makes me skeptical that any of it will hurt Obama or Hillary.
If it had hope of doing that they would be against it.
..simply...there was no way of telling WHEN IT WAS GOING TO END. HELP SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT. HILDA LIED,PEOPLE DIED!
Let me be the first to demand Hillary Clinton resign as secretary of state!
I repeat p/spell check.
“Nobody was told to stand down” a lie.
“This was a spontaneous demonstration” a lie.
Moreover if I were six hours into what would be an eight hour firefight - I would be SURE that American forces were on their way. We owe our diplomats, and the men protecting them, at least that much - that when we know they are in trouble we send forces - to avenge them and secure the site even if we think it will be too late to save them.

Obama went to bed, Americans ended up dead.

What I don’t understand is why the committee did not follow the chain of orders that told the marines that were coming to help to stand down. Who told told the marines to stand down? I am assuming it came from a military officer. But who told that military officer? I do not understand why these whistleblowers were not asked who told them to stand down. And then follow that chain upward.
Or did O,C,P, as is rumored, have some assurance from Ansar Al-sharia (part of the Al Qaeda-linked February 17th Martyrs Brigade, treasonously paid by Clinton's State Dept. to provide consulate security!) that our personnel would not be killed? Surely such could only have been a totally empty promise, as Americans' culture of honor and self-protection against Islamic terrorism still runs very deep, if not with the likes of O,C,P!

courtesy ping.
yes, it does matter.No greater treason.
That statement by Eric Nordstrom was very powerful and very moving.
No one knew or could have known if any relieving force would be walking into a trap. Mogadishu.......
In our entire military there is only one force, the Marine
Corps TRAP, Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel force that trains and is armed for and has helo insertion options for hot LZ’s.
It is also the only force that goes in heavy, with weapons platoons that can terminate all opposing forces and anyone foolish enough to stay around.
The problem is that they are only deployed on MEF’s, Marine Expeditionary Forces of which we have only three deployed worldwide at any time. Two are dedicated to the Persian Gulf - Afghan theater.
One is deployed to the eastern Med and has been committed to the Syrian - Jordan - Israel - Egypt theater. Libya was not considered an active threat as compared to the eastern Med.
We can only do so much. There was a SST (site Security Team) on site that was pulled out even though it was free and available to Dept of State for another 6 months.
All this talk about this unit or that 4 SF personnel could have gone in is just ignorant talk. This is the real world folks, instantly desperate by a clever and constantly probing enemy.
