Stevens didn't make his own bed. He was there doing his job and following orders from superiors.
He asked for help after being directly threatened and there were other attacks in the area. We've heard a multitude of excuses, ranging from lack of money to not knowing that Stevens expressed concerns. Other countries were getting their people out of there because it wasn't safe. Stevens was encouraged to stay for some reason. I think there was a plot and it just didn't go down like it was supposed to.
The lies were quick to come immediately following the attack. This means they likely knew exactly what happened, who did it and why and they knew it had to be covered up quickly. The only reason for not taking action prior to the attack is if they were complacent in what was going to happen. This would be in line with the General's claim that it was supposed to be a staged kidnapping so Stevens could be exchanged with the blind sheik and that the Marines getting involved caused the terrorists to believe they had been double crossed and attacked. Things weren't supposed to go that way. If certain people understood how Marines think, they would have known they help their fellow Americans under any circumstances and always have their backs. That is a foreign concept to some people so they weren't expecting Marines to intervene.
Lying about the cause immediately and for so long was an attempt to distance themselves from this. They claimed not to have any idea that there was any danger in the weeks prior to 9/11 and claimed there wasn't time to send help, meaning they thought it would be over quicker. They should have known by a certain point that things weren't progressing as planned. The decision to tell people to stand down immediately means they had an idea of what was supposed to take place and it would have been quick if not for the Marines trying to stop the terrorists. After the Marines fought back, things went to hell and those who were complacent panicked and didn't know what to do. Sending more help would have meant more terrorists being killed. Those on the ground knew what was going on, so letting them die meant the truth would die with them. That is why the stand down orders, which they've also lied about.
There were other survivors, who may have known something, and they were immediately rounded up and taken away so there would be no contact with the media. The survivors were forced to sign non-disclosure agreements and many reported that they and their families were threatened. The very people who the media would normally seek out to get the whole story were treated like they didn't exist.
No excuse is acceptable for not sending help. First, they claim there wasn't time even though they had roughly 7 hours. Over a year later, the excuse changed to Libyan officials not giving them permission. Both excuses are lies and the media has all but spun themselves into cocoon trying to keep covering the lies.
Now, not surprisingly, they refuse to discuss it at all, but it's clear that the lies began at the top and were repeated until it was proven they were lies. When lies were exposed, they clammed up and still haven't cooperated with the investigation. I think this whole thing stinks and there is a lot more to the story.
Of course, they have to claim that it's a non-issue. The obedient media lapdogs have done a fairly decent job of burying this story, but it keeps coming back. You can't bury the truth forever.
