Ike, you said "The military stand-down, as I understand it, was because they were too far away."
The problem with this statement is there was a small, armed US force in Tripoli was told it did not have the authority to deploy to Benghazi in the midst of the attack. Twice. Flight time between the two cities is less than an hour. Members of the would-be rescue contingent were "furious" over this obstruction. The witnesses said they did not know who ultimately gave the "stand down" orders, or why.
Ike, I find it interesting that Hicks who is a 22 year employee is being questioned as a creditable source because there are reports about prior disciplinary action. Yet he was deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya and highest-ranking U.S. diplomat in the country at the time of the attack in Benghazi. If he was a poor employee as you posted why would he be in such a high position?
Ike, in reference to the link you provided it does not explain why our military was ordered to stand down and not make a rescue attempt. It is disgusting how this administration turned their backs on the four Americans, and refused to send them help and out right lied to the victims families.
The WSJ link I provided is spot on with why there was a cover up.
Also how do you feel about the administration holding an off the record press meeting with hand picked reporters? I thought Obama said this was going to the most transparent presidency ever.
Ike, what sources are you reading that lead to your post at 10:07am?
Do you really believe that Obama and Clinton have no responsibility at all with this cover up?
How do you feel about Obama and Clinton knowing this was a terrorist attack on when it happened, yet lied to the American people and to the family members of the four murdered Americans telling them this was caused by a video?
Mark Styen said it best about Obama and Hillary's actions. "They lied to the victims' coffins and then strolled over to lie to the bereaved, Hillary telling the Woods family that "we're going to have that person arrested and prosecuted that did the video." And she did. The government dispatched more firepower to arrest Nakoula Basseley Nakoula in Los Angeles than it did to protect its mission in Benghazi."

Al, you're welcome. I understand it is easy to miss posts and both sides including myself have been guilty of posting inappropriate comments in the past.
Rebitch,
You need to get laid. I nominate tu_quoque to rock your world. You've talked about head in the past. I heard she could suck-start a leaf blower. Hell, you don't even have to worry about doing anything with that old body. She'll f#ck you.
But seriously, LMFAO!

The Cover-Up
Obama and company learned from the best, Bill Clinton when it comes to shifting blame and covering up.
