One thing's for sure. News of this is on the mind of every Service Man overseas. I'll wager they're shaking in their boots over this as they're fearing their calls for help will also fall on deaf ears. I pray for them. This is beyond sad...
We could have dropped some "Rods from God" on them. I don't know if this is ready or not. It's probably been shut down by Obama. http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2004-06/rods-god
Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. consulate and subsequent attack several hours later was denied by U.S. officials -- who also told the CIA operators twice to "stand down" rather than help the ambassador's team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11.

"You don't deploy forces into harm's way without knowing what's going on, without having some real-time information about what's taking place," Panetta said. This would be true to a degree, but they did know. They had communications with the Team on the ground and they had drone surveillance. They had information going back and forth for several hours. They also had a man on the roof with a laser pointer and "eye's on" the mortar postion that eventually took them out. There is one reason, and only one reason they did not provide air support. Collateral damage. Someone decided it was better to sacrifice these men than chance collateral damage. Probably the same someone who decided to have these guys so far out on a limb in the first place with such a small security force, in a F'n combat zone. We all know who that someone is. It's the guy telling everyone to vote early. Now we know why. By election day the majority will know that a vote for Obama is a vote for a man who would rather sacrifice Americans than piss off radical Islamists. This does not even address the question of how and why they came out with their B.S. video story. This was a full pitched battle that went all all night, they knew every detail of it, yet they came out and for better than a week connected this with the video. Unconscionable!!!
Ret. Gen. MacInerney just said on TV that he doesn't see how the decisions were not being made in the Situation room at the White House. This blood is on Obama's hands directly.
Obama and Panetta were meeting at 5 PM EDT on 9/11. This was 1 AM in Benghazi. It is highly unlikely that this was not about what was happening in Benghazi. The drones over Benghazi would have been streaming live video that could be seen live at the White House Situation Room. Denials to the SEALS for support would have been supported or been ordered directly from the White House.
this is really bad for Obama. Bill Clintons lawyer says that Hillary asked for more security. So we have the WH denying more security Then refusing to send in support during a 7 hour attack.. Then telling the world it was a video on youtube. If he had said that under oath he would be impeached.
+ fucking 10 this sums it up perfectly. It is insane that they did nothing, but that on it's own would have been believable (fog of war blah bla bullshit) if afterward they admitted their errors and did everything humanly possible to avenge the dead. Instead they FUCKING LIED to us all, including the dead soldiers and ambassadors' families.. and the reason for those outrageous, unacceptable, unforgivable LIES, is as you state: they don't want to upset the poow yittle jihadi's. Obama stated in the last debate that Romney said "he wouldn't move heaven and earth to get one man". He then went on to imply that he did those things to kill OBL, yet he left four Americans for dead in order to protect our new 'friends' in Libya. In fact the ONLY action taken to date was to arrest the film maker of the movie that had absolutely nothing to do with the murder of our guys. he is traitorous scum and so is hillary.
