There was a rescue mission ready in Tripoli, which would have taken a few hours to get there.
But the soldiers waiting on the plane, were told to get off the aircraft, go back to their barracks, and wait. After that, the order to get back on the plane and go, was never given.
***NOTE about liberal obfuscation*** The soldiers who were ready to rescue, were never told "stand down". But what they were told, resulted in the same thing. Various liberals have said that since the actual words "stand down" were never spoken to those soldiers, that meant that no "stand down' order was ever given.
Now that we know that Hillary knew the rescue mission was loaded up, primed and ready... who originated the order to get off the plane and go back to the barracks?
what part about that email being sent at 1:30 am on September 12th, that "the troops were spinning up as we speak", do you not understand and make up the bull crud you just posted?
the fighting was over,
the Ambassador and 4 others were already dead, long prior to the military saying they were spinning up and ready.
The only people lying here is you Little Acorn, and the other right wingers who obviously have no idea what a time zone is.....and just soak up the continuous lies of the right wing media without ever thinking on your own, or comprehending what you read other than a smashing headline of lies?
the US MILITARY was NOT up and ready to respond during the battle as the headline reads, they were spinning up as the Col said, at 1:30 am Benghazi time September 12th....the fighting was over....
there is no SMOKING GUN here, that is not a partisan statement or a Hillary lover or an Obama lover statement either, it's simply the TRUTH.
