OK, what was specifically wrong with my post here:
"The father is being a father. God Bless his son and his family and the families of all of the people who were killed in that attack. Something definitely broke down, I don't think that the Administration purposely did anything to not help those people in ham's way. It was obviously a very chaotic situation, I've seem people state that they should have sent C-130's over there or a gunship. it's not as simple as people think."
you were making excuses for their inaction.....
and that is wrong on so many different levels. If you don't see that then there is no explaining it to you.
A commander in chief....should not freeze.
There are only two ways this can go..... he froze, did nothing and let them die
or he purposefully did nothing...and let them die.
i dont think he purposefully did anything...... i think he froze like a coward.
LOL, I didn't make any excuse for their inaction.
Sunday October 14, Chris Wallace on fox news Sunday asked Axlerod straight up-
notice the non answer-
Q. Yes, the president made a statement and then he went to a fundraiser in Nevada. Question: Before he went to the fundraiser in Nevada, did he meet with his National Security Council to try to sort out the shifting stories. Because State says they never said it was a spontaneous demonstration; Intel, you are quite right, did.
Did he meet with the National Security Council before he went campaigning in Nevada?
A. Chris, I assure you that the president was in contact with all those who had information and responsibility in the national security chain about this incident.

the attack stared on Tuesday @ approx. 340 PM Eastern time.....the national sec. council getting word from the cia, and state dept. did not meet? at all? until...when? exactly? And in the interim who was making the decisions? The state dept and I have command centers that operate 24x7,for just such an incident, so they knew, what happened there after to all of the information coming in?
The CIA says they did not deny anyone help, the military's response is here;

Military response to Benghazi attack questioned
snip-
Two and a half hours after the attack began, an unarmed predator drone was diverted from a surveillance mission over another part of Libya to the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.
That, plus a second unarmed drone dispatched four hours and 15 minutes later, were the only U.S. military forces sent to the scene of the attack. Commandos were dispatched from Europe to an air field in Sigonella, Sicily, but by the time they got there the attack in Benghazi was over.
snip-
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Thursday defended the U.S. military response, saying the situation on the ground was too confusing.
"You don't deploy forces into harm's way without knowing what's on, without having some real time information about what's taking place," Panetta said.
first the attack did not end after 2 and a half hours, second; they HAD real time information, not only from the drones but from those men in the annex asking for help etc.
next
"General Ham, General Dempsey and I felt very strongly that we could not put forces at risk in that situation," Panetta said.
so that was their decision? I wonder...
When asked whether they had forces on any heightened alert in that area because of the approaching 9/11 anniversary, Panetta said they did.
Gen. Dempsey added: "And let me point out, it was 9/11 everywhere in the world."
wow, thx for that General Obvious, yes we know that, but say Barbados, which btw the way had a Marine Ambassadorial guard contingent, how important/valuable was a 9-11 alert to them?
Defense officials say a general alert had been issued to U.S. forces worldwide, but no special alert had been ordered for Libya because there was no intelligence predicting an attack.
Military response to Benghazi attack questioned - CBS News
that is a flat out lie, UNLESS NONE and I mean NONE of the the since discovered abundance of requests for a stronger guard force warnings, past bombings/attacks, the British pull out etc. was just vaporized in time....or they just poo pooed it all, which in light of what we know now is just beyond incompetence.
