Obama Denied Help For Besieged Benghazi Consulate AT LEAST TWICE, In Real Time! ...so let me get this right. The CIA makes the decision to not send in aid to possibly limit escalation or avoid being drawn into a potential trap. There is a multitude of reasons... including the typical "let it happen so we can have an excuse later to increase force deployment". Obama trusts his CIA advisers who may not have been relaying all of the information in real time to him. Who knows what he is actually told? ...but he relies on the advice on intel he is given and decided not to over ride decisions being made by the CIA. Ok... so Obama is responsible ultimately because he is president but what makes you all think that Mitt would have done anything different based on advice given him by the CIA. What makes you think Obama was even aware of any requests for support? They were likely trying to downplay the severity of the attack and at one point had even thought the attack was over. I point the blame at those within the chain of command and the usual bullshit political reasons for not doing something that should be reflexive. I do not blame those at the very top of the chain as they often have to rely on advisers and intel that is often delayed and incomplete. Confusion in the chain may also likely be the cause for delayed response. ...and weren't demonstrators protesting at the same time this attack occurred? To send in forces when no clear enemy is identified may have resulted in a much larger incident involving the death of many non-combatants ...and you can only imagine what that may have escalated into. Full involvement in the region? War? The weighting of these factors does not occur to those outside of the chain... but once you are in that seat choices such as these must be carefully considered. |

Obama Denied Help For Besieged Benghazi Consulate AT LEAST TWICE, In Real Time! Breaking news on Benghazi: the CIA spokesman, presumably at the direction of CIA director David Petraeus, has put out this statement: "No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ” So who in the government did tell “anybody” not to help those in need? Someone decided not to send in military assets to help those Agency operators. Would the secretary of defense make such a decision on his own? No. It would have been a presidential decision.

Obama Denied Help For Besieged Benghazi Consulate AT LEAST TWICE, In Real Time! does anyone have a link, credible or otherwise, to suggest the ambassador was supposed to be kidnapped...then released just before the election? Quoting: ScienceOnly 24013077 This is a BIG DEAL. Let's don't joke about this or put out one liner GP bullshit...if this is true we arein deep doodoo people...this is our commander in chief that is being accused of outrageous behavior... How is this breaking? Who is breaking it? Not the one I read but another view... [link to www.freerepublic.com] Could it be that Gun Running negotiations went bad and that some kind of an "October Surprize" was "supposed" to happen in Benghazi? After the kidnapping we would have seen an outraged Obama, stoked up and rightously indignant over this, on National TV claiming it would not be tolerated and that we would secure the release of Stevens. He would maybe even have "suspended his campaign to deal with it...for all Americans to see. Then October would have been full of "that" story, and you can bet it would invariably have led to a Stevens release just before the election.

The answer is this: Jarrett wanted an October Surprise that would make Obama look like a hero prior to the elections, so they arranged to have Stevens (a close friend of Obama's) go to Benghazi where he and his military trained security detail would be taken captive by protestors that stormed the consulate because of the obscure youtube video, Obama would then coming riding to the rescue and free the Ambassador and his team to the cheers and adoration of the American electorate... This GLP poster made this theory up a full 10 days before the freerepublic made the same speculation. Cool. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8443185 The State Department account from 10/10/2012, which I summarized above, as reported by R**ters & Foreign Policy magazine, said there was no protests outside the consulate at 9:40 (when the attack began). The scene became a free for all with looters taking everything, but they arrived after the gun battle/fires... I would suggest that anyone interested in the Benghazi attack read the r**ters article - it is still just about the most complete account out there... |

They were not true believing Mormons in their short lives, but now that they are dead, they are true Mormons. When Romney is president, nationwide Mormon baptisms will be common, even from the oval office. Romney will be the best president. All of his executive orders will be done with seer-stone in hand.

Obama Denied Help For Besieged Benghazi Consulate AT LEAST TWICE, In Real Time! The CIA stood down twice because the fighting died down twice. And right now there is some soldiers facing off the Taliban in Afganistan, but who cant engage them since Obama didnt order them too. Their dead because they are too stupid to think for themselves. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26222015 WTF are you talking about? They will engage because such engagements are already authorized. If it weren't, they'd do it anyway like the soldiers did in the Benghazi attack. Getting air support in a country where there isn't a war zone (though, I'd still consider it one personally) requires direct authorization. You can't expect a gunship to start firing in a foreign nation without authorization, let alone flying into such a country. Being denied this aid during the 4 hour battle is absurd. You think NATO is subservient to local militias? Hardly. They have airbases and lots of military hardware. And yes it is a warzone, or at least the war continues in country. And they dont need to fly "into the country" since they are already there. And of course they can fire their guns to their hearts content esp to respond to hostile attack. Read Rules of engagement. Common sense. Local commanders can employ those assets, for sure. Even if Obama was to micromanage from the White House, he would do so by consulting with local commanders. Your belief in the story of Obama's active interference hangs on many assumptions which simply arent true. We could pretend Obama made a call to local commanders just before or after Stevens made a call for help, and ordered them to "stand down". Afterall, the evidence for such a call is right here on GLP and no where else. Totally fabricated evidence, but evidence nevertheless... i get the impression that barry's trouser snake has tickled your tonsils |
