God help us. The lefties that took out the full page ad in the New York Times calling him "General Betrayus" were right. If he hasn't already ascertained the truth in this (unlikely), why hasn't he publicly tendered his resignation and come forward with exact details?
Although Russia figures prominently here, Iran now comes into focus as Russia is not likely to directly engage U.S. forces. They must, however, protect their interests. Much like we were using anti-Assad forces to advance our objectives in Syria, Russia was using Iranian-backed forces to protect theirs. It appears that the attacks were conducted or facilitated by Iranian assets—perhaps as many as three teams of assets in Benghazi.
As the White House and other agencies monitored intelligence in real-time, they faced a dilemma. They knew that the nation/state sponsored attack teams were lying in wait for U.S. rescue forces to arrive, which is the reason the fight did not conclusively end sooner. They did not know exactly where all of the attack teams were, but knew they were present based on signal communication intercepts. Could they risk such exposure by deploying a rescue team to Benghazi, only to end up with another Black Hawk down type scenario? In addition to that scenario, the entire operation now becomes exposed for what it is. Take another look at Panetta’s statement in that context. Does it now make more sense? Bad PR in an election year, no? [Canada Free Press]

A few Primed and ready Special Forces Killers with a gunship overhead providing cover is enough to take the entire shit hole of a country.

When I saw the pictures of the terrorists holding Ambassador Stevens’ body, I thought to myself, ”this is how I felt when I saw the terrorists in Mogadishu dragging the body of SFC Shughart through the streets of Mogadishu.
But while that incident pegged my rage meter—I knew Randy Schugart, we were in the same platoon at the 2d Ranger Bn before he went to SFOD-D—as more details were uncovered, I realized that wasn’t what Benghazi reminded me of.
The footage of the burning consulate at Benghazi reminded me of how I felt watching the compound outside of Waco going up in flames, and the anger of knowing that our government had just murdered 84 of its own citizens. And the sickening feeling that nothing would ever be done about it.
The ONLY other person I came close top hating was the asshat who murdered my sister.

"I'm giving you a lot of inside baseball
stuff, and maybe
putting myself in peril for doing it, but In Extremis Force was
turnd down by POTUS at his 5PM Eastern time meeting .."
This Benghazi thing is breaking six ways to Sunday. What is absolutely
for certain is that Obama, Biden and Hillary, the top three officials
in an in extremis force
situation, are either so staggeringly incompetent as to be criminally
negligent, or worse; were actively working for and with the
Islamos who killed the Stevens group. There is no third possibility.
It is also unquestionable that Obama has lied at every juncture of
Benghazi, and continues to this day.
This is one of the damnedest phone calls Rush has ever taken. The
caller—unquestionably an insider, lays out why its a certainty that the
POTUS THREE are singularly responsible for this debacle.

FRIDAY: Obama rebuts claims he’s lying about attack on US Consulate in Libya

The thought occurred to me just now - maybe the question is, "Why did Obama want the Ambassador dead?"
Or, am I out of line here??

Not me. I was an AF satellite guy, and my joint-staff time was not directly SF-related.
