WSJ said that help was dispatched from Tripoli. It was delayed by Libyan officials who insisted they take a larger Libyan force which took a long time to assemble. Once they landed, WSJ says the team had to "negotiate" transportation to Benghazi. By the time the force landed the ambassador was no longer there so the security forces went to the hospital based on reports the ambassador had been taken there.

 

So the right-leaning WSJ says security was dispatched by the US and arrived after delays from Libyan govt at 1:00 a.m.

 

And this will be challenged in 3......2.......1........

I saw that. What about the help from the unmanned gunship they asked for and painted a laser target to attack? The facts that as of now aren't in dispute is that they died 7 hours after the initial attack.

You're right guys; just Fox politicizing this whole Benghazi mishap. No story here, just move along folks.

 

We do not know all of the facts. I think the families and the country deserve to hear the unfilitered truth; not in piecemeal from WSJ or FOX, or leaked emails from the Intelligence community.

 

PP, I think I missed another one of your points. How is Romney's silence "telling"? Are you suggesting that agrees with the way this has been handled by this administration?

When was the last time the retired Military "endorsed" a Democrat?

 

I can't recall anytime.

 

Historically speaking, I wonder if the military has always supported the GOP since Harry Truman "retired" Gen. MacArthur and General Eisenhower won the presidency as a Republican.

 

So does anyone thing this is "shocking news?"

Yes. That is exactly what I am suggesting.

 

 

That or for some reason he's not in the know like the rest of you obviously are and instead of pounding the completely and totally unpatriotic move by President Barack Obama to kill those poor men and not offer them help as a campaigning tool to win the office and remaining silent tells me all I need to know.

I do not know the answer to that.

 

Most people think there was no support sent at all which is the reason I posted what I did.

 

I'm all for being critical. I'm also all for being critical with actual facts.

Where I'm suspicious is how long it's taking for the actual facts to come out. How long did it take on the OBL raid? That was in a location and situation where we would have expected information to take much more, not less time to come out.

Maybe I'm naive or shortsighted but in a situation where it is a success and no one dies it seems details should be easy to come by. In a situation that appears to be an epic failure at all levels I would think the information would be kept to a minimum or at the very least until a proper investigation is conducted.

The OBL issue isn't the same. We weren't caught by surprise. We suffered no deaths. In and out.

 

The WH will always be less than 100% honest. Sometimes it's legit to not be honest. Other times it's not.

I agree with basing a decision on facts, that is what I'm requesting. Not just facts that support your argument. There appears to have been a concerted effort to misrepresent, delay or suppress the facts by this administration.

Believe half of what you see and nothing that you hear.

There has been some discussion, myself included, comparing Benghazi to OBL. I feel that a more accurate comparison would be to Fast and Furious. I doubt that we'll ever truly

find out what happened.

From a comparison standpoint, I agree.

They shouldn't have been caught by surprise on this one. Sure it's different, we lost this one and there's an election to be won.

Or until an election is won.
