"The report released Tuesday pointedly blamed a “rusty bureaucratic process” for the slow-moving response the night of the attack. The report said despite orders from President Obama and then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to deploy, the first military force did not deploy until more than 13 hours after the attack started"
The response to the attack was 'slow-moving'. Obama and Panetta claimed the order for the military to deploy was given...but the their finger pointing seems to go to the military for the slow response...HOWEVER....
"The report said one anti-terrorism security team known as the FAST unit sat waiting for three hours in Rota, Spain, as Marines changed “in and out of their uniforms four times,” and even debated whether they should carry personal weapons, according to one witness. All together, the report said, “it would take nearly 18 hours” for that team to move."
"The report described a web of
internal debates and hold-ups, including apparent State Department guidance that “Libya must agree to any deployment,” though Panetta would later say
Libya approval was not necessary."
-- The State Department did not even know if they needed approval to conduct a rescue mission of American citizens inside of Libya. The fact that they did not know this, had not already discussed / learned this despite Libya being such a volatile situation due to the terrorists that now ran the country, is mind-numbing. Nothing like waiting until the last second versus planning ahead, especially when it comes to the safety of American citizens! Again, WTF?!
"While various officials debated how to proceed, U.S. personnel were under attack at two sites in Benghazi."
What is blatantly obvious is that the State Department, run by Hillary Clinton, had helped the Obama administration side with Al Qaeida, the terrorist group that is responsible for murdering over 3,000 Americans, despite the fact that Qaddafi had begun HELPING the US combat terrorists in Northern Africa! It is blatantly obvious that even AFTER numerous terrorist threats that called for the terrorist attack on 9/11/12 - which caused every other nation to pull their people out, and the call for the assassination of Ambassador Stephens by an Al Qaeida leader, Hillary and her State Department...and Obama...had FAILED to consider any emergency / contingency operations should those attacks happen.
What is blatantly obvious is that despite Stephens requesting additional security HUNDREDS of times, despite Obama / Hillary claiming to have known a military response would not make it there in time if they were needed, despite 2 previous terrorist attacks leading up to the fatal 9/11/12 attack, and DESPITE REMOVING 14 members of Stephens' security team after those attacks, Hillary / The State Department / Obama FAILED to assess the situation, FAILED to determine if authorization was required to execute a rescue operation inside of Libya, FAILED to hold discussions to come up with a plan in advance of how they would handle a terrorist attack on 9/11/12 they ALREADY KNEW was called for.
THEY HAD NO DISCUSSIONS, THEY MADE NO PREPARATIONS OR PLANS, UNTIL THE ATTACK BEGAN! THAT IS A MASSIVE FAILURE IN LEADERSHIP, AND 4 AMERICANS PAID FOR IT WITH THEIR LIVES!
AGAIN, what is OBVIOUS is that 4 Americans NEEDLESSLY died because of the incompetence, inexperience, stupidity, and actions directly taken and NOT taken by Hillary Clinton, Barry, and The State Department!
