Speaking of SOS, doesn't Hillary still have a private army of contractors in Iraq? I thought it was about 10,000 but being increased to 20,000 when Barry got out of Iraq. Couldn't any of those people have gotten to Benghazi while the shooting was still going on?
(There's a lesson to be learned here; if Barry Obama and his admin had ever watched a classic Western where the US Cavalry showed up just in time, maybe they would have thought of that. Too bad Barry's White House Choom gang thinks that Bareback Mountain is what Westerns look like.)
If they chose Suzan Rice they would only have to generate one teleprompter speech for both ozero and rice. It would be very cost effective!
Also, its difficult to find anyone in govt. at her level that is stupid enough to repeat the same lie five times on five different networks and actually look as if she believed it!
The only one I can think of who is absolutely as dumb as her is Joe Biden! Look where he wound up!
There lots of options for rescue of the Americans in Benghazi, but they most likely could not have saved the ambassador, since that happened in the first wave of the attack.
It is my guess that Obama ordered the Stand Down after he saw the live feed from the surveillance cameras that showed that the ambassador was not going to make it. I believe that the stand down order was given so as not to further anger the Al Qaeda group and that no consideration was given for the safety of the remaining people, located a mile away at the CIA facility, who could have been rescued.
It is my guess that the false narrative, regarding the video, was concocted early on, in the situation room by Clapper, Petraeus’ boss. I also think that it was Clapper’s idea to blame Petraeus for the bad security information.
