Although help was already present and more was available only hours away, it was never sent.....We were told it was a "riot" for weeks until they could no longer contradict those who said it was not, before they were silenced. The person they sent out to spread their lies was PROMOTED to national security advisor, and the Sec/State testified she didn't know anything, couldn't remember anything, and that it "didn't matter" what happened.
If you weren't a moonbat apologist for these freaks, you'd see there's plenty of cause to call this not only a scandal, but criminal negligence and perjury.
Help was already present? What help? How much lead, brass and powder can you carry Joe. 200 rounds? 400 rounds? Can you also carry some grenades and bloopers? So you would send or go into a firefight with the only re-inforcement and resupply hours away. How long do you think those munitions would last in a raging firefight against 100 enemy? 200 enemy? How would you get into the battle? Would you send a chopper into a hot zone with the potential of being shot down and all aboard becoming casualtys? Would you run a qauntlet from the Airport to the battle? How would you protect against an ambush? Were
there armored vehicals at the airport or would you have to use SUV's or whatever was available? How would sending this team and it's re-inforcement impact your security profile and readiness to re-act to attack(s) on other facilitys?
We were told it was a riot at first because authoritys were not sure. That plus investigators don'e show their hand. You want the suspect(s) to be overconfident and hope they will make mistakes that will give leads. Ben Ghazi was a CIA operating post. Why should we have laid our hand on the table? Just to satisfy who? How do you even know we had definitive proof that it was a planned attack?
The person they sent out to tell the "lies" as you put it, was the obvious choice for the dispersal off misinformation or unconfirmed information while the investigation and reaction took place. A "stall" was instigated. If you knew about this kind of thing you would know that the U.N Ambassador was the automatic pick. Not the Secretary of Defense or State, not the White House, the highest ranking person who gives the rest of the gov't plausible deniability is the go to person. She was the Ambassador to the U.N., why would she know anything? She does what she is told. If you paid attention to these thing you would know how routine it is to send out an official with misinformation that connects to classified operations.
those were more annoying than lethal....Anyway, from what I've heard, there was a SEAL team around on other business. Whether they were allowed to engage I'm not sure, but it's pretty obvious numerous calls for assistance were made both from the annex and various other assets in the area which were ignored. Panetta knows what happened and why he couldn't take over like he did in the Pakistan raid for OBL....he'd already lost one job doing that. Hillary was likely passed out on her kitchen floor for the duration of the raid. Rice had no reason to go on the talk shows that Sunday morning other than to blame "a video" instead of what it really was about....I think AQ swiped SAMs intended for Syrian rebels so they could cut us out of appearing to be behind the aid.
