They completed the evacuation within 12 hours. My understanding they didn't have enough transport capability to remove everyone at once, so they had to leave in two groups. Clearly they made the decision to leave well before they finished the evacuation.
Yup, they did not even have a proper contingency plan for an evacuation.
O.K. I see where the Washington Post has gave Obama Four Pinocchios concerning his recent statements on what he claimed about Benghazi has been covered but I see it's been pretty well ignored from his defenders.
Oh well, we'll just chalk this up to whoops, just like they're doing with the IRS persecution of anyone with Tea Party in their name. Remember, Obama today said "IF anyone at the IRS is guilty of wrong doing" even though they've already admitted and apologized for doing it. IF, IF????
Next you'll hear "well it depends on the definition of "if".
Can Obama at least return to our world instead of the alternate version of the one he's on?
Yea I caught the "If". He's buying time hoping his scamming party can spin it.
That is probably exactly what our State Department and Executive branch did. Every twenty minutes, for eight hours, they told themselves, "It's a good thing we didn't bother, because we couldn't have respond in time."
4:30 PM "We can't get help there in 20 min, so lets not do anything"
4:50 PM "It's a good thing we didn't bother, because we couldn't have respond in time anyway."
5:10 PM "It's a good thing we didn't bother, because we couldn't have respond in time anyway."
5:30 PM "It's a good thing we didn't bother, because we couldn't have respond in time anyway."
5:50 PM "It's a good thing we didn't bother, because we couldn't have respond in time anyway."
6:10 PM "It's a good thing we didn't bother, because we couldn't have respond in time anyway."
6:30 PM "It's a good thing we didn't bother, because we couldn't have respond in time anyway."
6:50 PM "It's a good thing we didn't bother, because we couldn't have respond in time anyway."
Five hours later.... "It's a good thing we didn't bother, because we couldn't have respond in time anyway. I'm sure glad we had this plan to not do anything, but what the hell, those civilians knew what they were getting into"
Here is the sequence of comments.
Me: There were no viable rescue scenarios for those that died. The survivors were not abandoned.
JIMJ: Not according to the 700 spec ops people that signed a letter to the President. Not according to a few SEALS that have talked to news reporters and NOT according to several Generals (who since retired don't have to worry about being fired or demoted or more likely blamed).
Try again with that line, it's been used and abused before then shot down in flames.
Me: Who could have saved Stevens and Smith? Who could have responded within 20 minutes from the start of the attack?
Could the "700 spec ops", "few SEALS" or "several Generals" responded within 20 minutes. If not, then they could not have rescued Stevens and Smith.
So spin and snark away, but I will note that you didn't point to a response that would have saved Stevens and Smith.
There are some of us who are not Obama-hater psychopaths, but who DO care about this country, and want to know the truth. All people don't fit into your "die hard Obama-hater" category.
The truth is always going to be found.
And did you know those light bulbs (not hyphenated btw) are filled with mercury? Oh, dear me. That's a toxic poison, isn't it.
best,

Obama has spewed hatred toward others long long before he became president. Did you ever see the videos?
After becoming president he spewed hatred toward those of us who don't look to the government to take care of us. So are we supposed to love the man who demonized those of us who work hard and don't look at government as our savior? His policy of split, demonize does not work. His apologizing for America is also sickening.
You accuse people of hating when in fact your president split this country more than I have seen in my lifetime.
This is a pathetic, and over used Boooosh deflection that is getting old. There was plenty of anger over these truck bomb attacks, suicide bomber attacks, and drive-by shootings. Those attacks happened in the blink of an eye, or lasted 5 minutes, they were not eight hour long assaults. You are comparing apples to oranges. Besides, in most every case, the attackers were caught or killed, the only person Obama caught after the Benghazi attack was the movie director.
Scandal after scandal, Obama always claims to not know anything about it until its reported. From Fast/Furious to Benghazi to IRS to DOJ wire tapping......"Uh I just found out last Friday when I saw it in the news. My Admin doesnt discuss much with me..."
Perhaps he knows, or perhaps his henchmen know better to just do the dirty work for him, and not give him updates on it. Either way, this Administration is corrupt to the core. We have Chicago style politics in DC.
And how much of a shame is it that whistle blowers are no longer protected anymore. I believe they used to be, but not they literally risk everything. Our government corruption has blown up a thousands times and its getting worse and worse because its harder to take the government on. Those who may want to expose and show the truth have to weigh if its worth the risk for them personally.
Obama wants to change America and does Obama's followers think he can fundamentally change America on his own? Even Obama admits he needs help. July 13:
"Look, if you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help.
Obama's henchmen keep him away and do the dirty work. That way if caught Obama can always claim "he does not know".
