CIA was sending six men as the rescue force from Tripoli,

And according to the CIA version of events, it took 3 hours and 15 minutes before the rescue force was finally able to leave the Benghazi airport. This long delay is caused by negotiations with Libyan authorities over permission to leave the airport, obtaining vehicles, and the need to frame a clear mission plan. Seriously? The U.S. needed to negotiate to be able to leave the airport… to go protect American citizens and do the job the Libyan government should have done?

What percentage of the voting population even knows there is a place called Benghazi?

Slow Working

right Eric????

This was an act of treason!

But if by any chance, Obama gets re-elected, then let the fight begin. He will not serve out his second term. Guaranteed.

I hope Romney wins a decisive victory so that we can immediately start to lay what is clear to me as “dereliction of duty” by a commander and chief. Disgraceful and a sorry state of affairs this man has conducted and brought upon the highest office in the land.

Not to mention the lives sacrificed and the loss their families are going through.

Makes me want to spit nails…

I want them all strung up by their buster browns for this!

Likewise, but I do not think there is a chance. Why? Two reasons.

1) First and foremost, this is the job of Congress to indite and convict a CinC, and
2) given the close split in this country, I don’t think any pol would prosecute after the fact, especially when Congress did not do its job.

There are massive numbers of ignorant people who vote one party because they “always have”, their family is all “that party”, because their union, school, etc. feeds them propaganda, and on and on, rather than spend a little time and effort doing their civic responsibility of learning about the candidates and actual issues. They know “Snookie” but nada about Bengazhi (Stevens who?), and so forth. If they actually knew facts, not propaganda, Zero never would have been nominated, much less elected the first time around.

I still think Stevens knew to much about Heavy weapons being given to the rebels in Syria. It’s sad I can think such evil.

We will know for sure once a passenger jet is taken down with some shoulder fired aa rocket.

If pesky Fox News persists in asking questions, then the third line of defense is to give the nod to the CIA to leak a diversionary story to favored news outlets and reporters. Thus the leaks to the Washington Post and New York Times showing that CIA operatives did try to rescue their comrades. Then authorize the CIA to go public with the same timeline, further throwing the press off the trail. The New York Times, the recipient of record for White House leaks, published on November 3 a diversionary story on its front page, fixating upon the CIA director, General Petraeus. This implied that the main issue about Benghazi centered around CIA secrecy — a tautology irrelevant to the real cover-up.

This is what I’ve been saying about the last couple of NYT columns. They served merely as a firebreak to stop Obama from getting burned.
