Wolfowitz: US Did Almost Everything Possible, After The Attacks |
2012-10-31 |
From what I can determine from talking with someone who has spoken directly with key general officers and others involved in the US response to the Benghazi attacks, it would appear that – contrary to Panetta’s “basic principle” – the US did almost everything possible to protect our people once the attacks had started, though not in advance:The Consulate was overrun in a matter of minutes, before any help was possible. In any case, there are many other things about administration policy, behavior, and conduct that deserve to be challenged. Worth the click |

#4 Then why all the fudging and lying from this regime? I don't buy it. Something is still very fishy about this. What about the meeting with Panetta and Biden DURING the attack. If it was all over why talk about not sending troops into harm's way without enough intelligence? Are "key general officers and others" playing CYA games? Is Wolfowitz, a consumate insider, covering for his buds? This stinks. |

#2 Also, the European command (EUCOM) deployed its number one counter terrorism force, which was training in central Europe, as quickly as possible, but it arrived in Sigonella after the evacuation of the Annex was complete. This signaled ENDEX! Anyone left on the ground was SOL. Picture finally becoming more clear. |
