The Whitehouse watched for 7 hours while our Hero's were attacked and killed, they asked 3 times for help... This is absolutely criminal !!!

Panetta saying we couldn't do anything???
1. Marines put their lives at risk to bring home the fallen. We couldn't do anything? I'll bet I could find lots of soldiers who find it offensive that we didn't even try to come to the rescue of our 4 Patriots.
2. We know the outcome now. At the time of the dithering how could they be sure that the 4 Patriots weren't hanging on, waiting for help that wasn't being sent. How could they just sit there? Pathetic.
3. You didn't even have to put boots on the ground. Yes I know the drone that was there was unarmed. Then send one that was! You had time. At the time you didn't know that they weren't still hanging on. For Pete's sake send an F16 just to buzz them to slow them down. But nothing??????

They have sacrificed these men for their liberal idealism, they would not send aid or additional security because this would have been seen as provocative to the Libyans, and would disrupt our mission (as Liberals see it) in their role as a neutral observer. The State Department did exactly what Obama wanted, as his actions of passivity and appeasement is the liberal way of progress. Then they have to hide the truth to justify the means. The four Americans that died were sacrificed at the altar of Liberalism, unfortunately if Obama is elected this will not be the last. They are optimal and expendable in the liberal Doctrine of diplomacy.

Why does President Obama deserve credit for killing bin Laden but our military deserves blame when al-Qaeda kills our ambassador??? Have you ever heard of Benghazi-gate???

I suggest anyone that doubts that a military intervention could have resulted in saving the lives of at least two, and possibly three Americans (the Ambassador was still alive until at least midnight) re-read the account of the rescue of Governor General Sir Paul Scoon during operation Urgent Fury.

You can pass this 'Who's responsible crap' to anyone the libs and the prez's own staffers choose, but in reality it is the President. Knowing he's no Truman, he'll shuck and jive all around the issue. So, the lying, once again, resurfaces and that is a large reason he will not return to office.

There are no "commandos" in the U.S. military.

The whole thing smells fishy to me...but then again, why smell what they are plainly laying in front of your nose?

Some reporter should try interviewing the troops who could have flown to Benghazie but were not sent. I doubt that one of them would agree with Panetta. In fact, I believe that they would vehemently disagree with him. I wonder what Panetta would say about their opinions?
