I'm saying he ignored eight months of national security notices... 9/11 followed, where was the outrage when 3K+ people died? Not a word was said, in fact when anyone even suggested the reasoning for the attack they were run out of town on a rail..

 Failures? Of what, not giving you the bent perspective you WANT, instead of the truth? Everything was out there for all to see, Fox and ole Mitt just decided to blow it up into something it is not...
****************************************************

Above the line, irrelevant, dont care..




Let a "CONSULATE" (big diff) be over run? What do you suppose he should have done?
They FIRST asked for help when? I heard a couple of weeks ago..W/O that info, the answer is pure speculation.


Call in the Marines?
Id say thatd be a good first step.

Think they could have been deployed in a couple of hours? We are talking Libya,
Again, we go back to when was the request initially made. & If it was a couple of weeks ago, ( Prior to 9/11), then, heres what they shoulda done. They shoulda stuck a team on a fast jet & got some people on the ground, EVALUATING the situation.
You guys act like we dont have this kinda stuff down to an ART..
We have The Worlds Premier Military, We have satellites, All the men & equipment had to come from somewhere. Could you get a team of men & equipment together to attack a place & somehow not stick out like a sore thumb in town? YOu think this event just sprang up & the average person in that town was shocked & amazed? I dont. I think the people we let die knew they were gonna get killed & asked for help & asked for it soon enough to get it OR,, ( remember the assessment team?) let the pros evaluate the situation & if its too hot to handle, Leave,, ),, BUT, that wasnt done,, It was handled as poorly as it could have been handled,  &, UNless someone can show me that they didnt ask for help until just a few days prior to 9/11, Cuz I believe they asked & asked & asked for a coupla weeks,


not just outside San Diego.. Nothing else short of armor would have done any good, we are talking mortars and RPG's against light arms, you could have put five more people on the ground and gotten the same results!

So, what youre saying here LOOKS to be

Well,, It doesnt matter that they asked for help & Nothing was done. America doesnt have the resources & ability to actually provide security, so, they were gonna die,

Again, why arent people Thinking ? What would YOU do, if you were responsible for the safety of some people in a Hot Spot & they asked you to send help? Nothing? Thats what they got, NOTHING,, & How is that defendable? Because Bush screwed up? I know what I would have done. I would have Hot Shotted a team in there to see what was going on & then I woulda either got my people out or brought in enough Marines to handle it, & Dont even try to tell me we dont have the $$$. WE have the $$ for everything we WANT to have the $$$ for,,


 You could go back in the records and most likely find EVERY consulate, EVERY embassy asking for more manpower!

I havent seen reports that indicated they were.


Twenty plus embassy's and consulates came under attack by protesters that day.

A protest isnt an attack,, I havent seen the news, but I dont remember any other place sustaining any real damage. I dont know of so much as a window knocked out or graffitti sprayed on a wall,., So, please, post up some evidence to these claims that youre using to allow yoursel;f to shrug this off so easily.,. Id like to be able to do the same,,



. So choose one.. Maybe you should ask "What happened to the funding for security?"..Oh yea, the GOP cut it..

& How many people would have been there had security budgets not been cut? 5? 6?,, what? YOu claim 5 or 6 more woulda made no difference, & Act as if thats reason enough to do nothing.

This was a Military Attack, RPG's are not what protesters have. Normal Security would have to be some Pretty Serious stuff to be able to fend off such an attack,


MOst offices have fire extinguishers around,( what they had) some even have sprinkler systems, ( what they had before budget cuts) butu, sometimes, ya just gotta dial 9/11 & get the fire department out to help.

They Called the fire department,,, over & over,, & no one came,

& when was that? & If the dems thot it such a bad idea, did they have the power to change it at any time prior to this attack>?

So, did Fox make it up? Did they just pull these names out of thin air? Im not about to say Fox doesnt LIE,, cuz I KNow they do,, so, the question remains, is this another lie? OR, are they the only ones who will report it? How can anyone know? I dont even know how to confirm there is or isnt a Seal team stationed nearby,, BUT, for your viewing pleasure,




Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi
that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during
the attack on the U.S. Consulate and subsequent attack several hours
later was denied by U.S. officials — who also told the CIA operators
twice to “stand down” rather than help the ambassador’s team when shots
were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11.
Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team who was at the
CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. Consulate where Ambassador Chris
Stevens and his team came under attack. When he and others heard the
shots fired, they informed their higher-ups at the annex to tell them
what they were hearing and requested permission to go to the consulate
and help out. They were told to “stand down,” according to sources
familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they were again told to “stand
down.”
Woods and at least two others ignored those orders and made their way
to the Consulate which at that point was on fire. Shots were exchanged.
The quick reaction force from the CIA annex evacuated those who
remained at the Consulate and Sean Smith, who had been killed in the
initial attack. They could not find the ambassador and returned to the
CIA annex at about midnight.
At that point, they called again for military support and help
because they were taking fire at the CIA safe house, or annex. The
request was denied. There were no communications problems at the annex,
according those present at the compound. The team was in constant radio
contact with their headquarters. In fact, at least one member of the
team was on the roof of the annex manning a heavy machine gun when
mortars were fired at the CIA compound. The security officer had a laser
on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up support
from a Specter gunship, which is commonly used by U.S. Special
Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams on the
ground involved in intense firefights. The fighting at the CIA annex
went on for more than four hours — enough time for any planes based in
Sigonella Air base, just 480 miles away, to arrive. Fox News has also
learned that two separate Tier One Special operations forces were told
to wait, among them Delta Force operators.
