I read the first link and it does not support your assertion. The team that was reportedly told to stand down in that link would have arrived after the 4 Americans were killed. Doherty who was not told to stand down, had already arrived in Benghazi from Tripoli earlier in the evening.
He didn't "lie" for two weeks. There was supposition in the days immediately following, and if people are honest, they would take it for what it was - supposition.
Even Ms Rice's statements were bracketed by "what we know at present" and were in no way definitive.
Of course, I am not a binary thinker so, I understand that "what we know at present" indicates a certain fluidity and is not an absolute statement of fact.
As we've seen over and over and over again in the recent past, every time something tragic occurs, for whatever reason, people seem to believe that the whys and wherefores have to be immediately evident when of course they are not.
Unfortunately this need to know, no, this claimed "right" to know produces the sort of idiocy we've seen after this event, after Boston, after Newton and so on. If the "truth" is not evident within the first 24 hours than what comes after simply cannot be the truth in some people's tiny brains.
The president labeled the events a terror attack the day after the tragedy. That is what it was.
If that is a lie in your mind, then so be it. I think that says more about you than it does about the truth of the situation.
I won't call you a brainwashed fool, but, the truth is you resemble one. Obama knew full well that a stupid video had nothing to do with Benghazi when he went to the UN and made that foolish unamerican speech.
A small team of Special Forces operatives was ready to fly from Tripoli to Benghazi last year after Libyan insurgents attacked the U.S. mission there, but was told it was not authorized to board the flight by regional military commanders, according to a career State Department official scheduled to testify before Congress on Wednesday.
I know! I'm sure not going to vote for him again. I can't wait for the next Prez, Hillary. She will......
Go ahead, and write her name in.
I will tell you one thing, however. As incompetent as she hs demonstrated, repeatedly herself to be, at least wshe isn't out to destroy large segments of the USA. Her husband almost appears to be noble comparted to the bucket of pureed fecal waste we have now (Obama).
To serve Obama's political purposes to claim, at the height of a political campaign in which he was taking credit for the fall of al Qaeda, that the death of a U.S. ambassador was down to spontaneous outrage over a video, rather than pre-planned terrorism.
Why did State want the talking points changed? Because it had ignored warnings about rising terrorist activity in Libya and had reduced security rather than beefing it up, as our embassy requested.
The left can defend Obama all they want. Just take a moment to remember how during the campaign you thought Obama was great because Al-Quaeda was on the run. How many times did he use this in his speeches.
Don't worry, Obama will not come close to being impeached. The Democratic party and the liberal media has to save his ass as well as theirs. This thread already shows they are doing a good job, they have an audience that believes and hangs on everything the dems or Obama says.
Read version 1 of the talking points from the CIA, prior to any revisions requested by the State department. It talks about a spontaneous attacks.

Here's what I've read about "version 1":
The Benghazi talking points: What’s known and unknown - The Washington Post
The version as of Friday morning, Sept. 14, 2012, was rather detailed, saying that “Islamic extremists with ties to al-Qaeda participated in the attack” and mentioning the militant group Ansar al-Sharia. It also referred to previous attacks against foreign interests and the possibility there had been surveillance of the U.S. facility.

Of course you can point out where he blamed the Benghazi attack on a video, right?
