Well I'm just trying to find out if Ronny was smart, if he had integrity, was he kind hearted, or more of a tough love sort? Like plane, I'm certainly not interested in anything political.

This is what happened. The Special Forces unit that had been in Tripoli left several weeks before this occurred. SF personal that didn't leave were part of a classified unit, that was at a classified location. Once the shit hit fan nothing could have been done. Nothing, to include air support, and ground support, was close enough to stop what occurred. That's the way it is. We're at war. People die. The unclassified unit should been temporarily shifted to Benghazi, instead of going home, while the Ambassador was there. Benghazi was not his permanent residence. A Marine ready reaction force it was really should have been close enough to react. Ambassadors are a Marine responsibility. They aren't the responsibility of the Special Forces.

That's fine . Though I'm not sure what Reagan has to do with Benghazi.

So they know that the DoD and the Obama was negligent in having sufficient security personnel in the region regardless of whether that responsibility fell on the SF or Marines?

Cool

Ouch....so pretty much everything Romney and the right, in referencing this administrations blatant dishonesty, was pretty much......dead on.  Good to know.  I wonder if Candy Crowly is feeling bad, in any way for her part in it?  Hmmmm

In the White House’s latest efforts at transparency, the administration announced to reporters that it would brief reporters on the latest shocking developments about the Benghazi situation … behind closed doors. Politico reports that the meeting started at approximately 12:45 PM ET, and that it moved the normal press briefing to 1:45 PM ET. Jay Carney, White House press secretary, did not comment on whether the meeting took place.

Politico reports:
The off-the-record session was announced to reporters in the wake of an ABC News report showing that White House and State Dept. officials were involved in revising the now-discredited CIA talking points about the attack on Benghazi.

The administration routinely exerts pressure on reporters it feels are not kind enough in their coverage. Reporters like Cheryl Attkisson of CBS News have felt the hand of their bosses for “wading dangerously close to advocacy” with regard to Benghazi. No doubt this “off-the-record” meeting was designed to get all the president’s horses and all the president’s men to put the Benghazi humpty dumpty together again

"Most Transparent Administration history", right?

Knew there was dereliction of duty from the gitgo. Just curious what else will surface as the pot reaches a slow boil.

Only the right gives a sh*t about this.

It is no big deal. No one is going to find harping on this tired old crap until 2016. It is just more Hillaryhate.

A good portion of this comes from the way Ambassador Stevens liked to operate. He didn't like to operate at a distance, with walls, Marine guards, and so forth. He wanted to present a more directly engaged with the populace face. That's what made him so good, but it's also part of the reason he's dead.

Ahh, you knew him personally, did you.  Well, that makes all the difference in the world.  It was his fault.  Like Bt said, why haven't you been called as an expert witness yet??  Wow, we could have had this settled months ago

Obama survived the 2012 presidential election because he told the American people that he kept them safe from terror; that he had Al Qaida on the run; that he was fighting America’s battles smarter than before.

And to prove the point, when things got really tough, he cheated with other peoples’ lives in order to avoid defeat.

He let four Americans die, rather than admit the truth. And that truth is this: That in war, as Winston Churchill said, “there is only one thing certain… that it is full of disappointments and also of mistakes.”

Obama could have admitted a mistake and walked away with dignity- he might have even won still.

Good.

The right needs more people.

Perhaps just the sort who give a * about the life of an ambassidor and his staff.
