The Fox-induced hysteria over Benghazi collapses
What happens when a lie goes astray?
You may recall the right wing’s hysteria last week over the way that events had supposedly played out in Benghazi, Libya. Stoked by inflammatory, deeply irresponsible misreporting on Fox News, they insisted that this scandal was bigger than Watergate, and that for his cowardice President Obama would be disgraced as commander in chief and impeached and removed from office should he win a second term.
Oh, they were in fine, fine form, braying like so many hounds certain they have finally treed the fox.
President Obama, we were told, had AC-130 gunships within an hour of Benghazi but refused to use them to try to intervene on behalf of his ambassador. We had Special Forces units ready to go just two hours away, at Sigonella Air Base in Sicily, but a cowardly Obama again barred a rescue operation, fearful that it might endanger his re-election if it went astray.
And twice — TWICE!!! — former SEALs at a nearby CIA compound had requested permission to intervene in the assault on the U.S. consulate, but twice they had been ordered to stand down and do nothing. Finally, the ex-SEALS defied orders from Washington, made their way to the consulate and rescued some of their fellow Americans. Obama, in contrast, was ready to just let them all die.
Fox News also reported that upon returning to the CIA annex, those same ex-SEALs had “lasered” a mortar targeting their position in hopes that an AC-130 would arrive to take it out, but again no help came. That same mortar later killed two of those ex-SEALs.
But as predicted here, none of that turned out to be true. None. From beginning to end, and in all its details, that story has proved to be false.
– There were no orders from the CIA or anyone else to stand down. According to a CIA timeline released last week, once those at the CIA annex learned that the nearby consulate was under attack, an ad hoc rescue mission was quickly put together and launched within 25 minutes.
– As Pentagon spokesman George Little described it Friday, “there was no AC-130 within a continent’s range of Benghazi” that night. The closest gunship was in Afghanistan, some 2,500 miles away. The two surveillance drones that eventually reached the scene in Benghazi also had to be reassigned from elsewhere; neither was armed.
– Contrary to the Fox report, there were no Special Forces units available for insertion into the situation. Soon after word of the attack reached Washington, a special ops team was scrambled from a training facility somewhere in Central Europe — some sources have reported Croatia — and transported to Sigonella.
In addition, a second special ops unit was immediately alerted and transported from a military base here in the United States to Sigonella, as an option should a hostage situation develop. In other words, major preparations were underway to provide a military option should the opportunity arise to use it.
But as Little put it last week, the units “did not arrive until after the entire sequence of events was complete. … They were in Sigonella many hours after the attacks.” Two platoons of specially trained Marines had also been hustled to Sigonella, but again too late for intervention.
– Finally, there had been no “lasering” of the mortar position used to attack the CIA annex in the second phase of the assault. (That second phase occurred more than seven hours after the attack on the consulate had ended). There was no reason to use a laser in that fashion — the SEALs knew they had no air cover to intervene — and more importantly, no opportunity to do so.
According to the CIA, its personnel at the annex were not even aware that the mortars existed until mortar shells began falling on their position; from beginning to end, the deadly mortar attack lasted all of 11 minutes.
In conclusion, last week’s entire controversy was spectacularly, embarrassingly wrong-headed. No facts exist to justify the overheated rhetoric and allegations directed at Obama and top officials in his administration, but no apologies will follow either. Quite the contrary, I’m sure.

Shame on you, Jay Bookman, the Democrat controlled media, and the incompetent Obama regime. This whole affair could have been avoided had the priorities for American safety been followed.
You all know the facts that led up to the massacre. You all sat on those facts for fear of looking bad for election reasons. You all should be condemned for your politicizing actions. You all will be held accountable tomorrow for your political actions.
What is absolutely galling and beyond the standards for individual responsibility is your blame game. Fox News had the courage to investigate the suppression of this story and had to extract the buried stories from the White House, State Dept., the CIA, and the Defense Dept. By doing so, all the stories did not match up to the cover-up that is still going on. Is it any wonder that the investigation is being kept on hold until AFTER the election?
This morning’s commentary by Jay Bookman and the ridiculous carping by his myrmidons point out why this election is so important. America has a choice between allowing left wing lunatics to continue their assault on social responsibilities or voting for the removal of this social cancer that has run rampant for the last 4 years.

A Christian man married to his first wife with a beautiful family and great values and a great American. But in the south we wanted Newt Gingrich. Lying, adulterating, powerbating Newt. Mitts on the ticket because of the Midwest, not the south. Still we are just voting against the President, not for Mitt. Sad, sad sad

Fox News is the only channel that is reporting what needs to be reported. The real news about Libia is how the president did not listed to warnings and beefed up security at all the emabassy’s in hot spots. But you, Bookman are a typical left wing socialist. This country is more divided now than at anytime since the civil war, if the division was across state lines I think there would already be violent conflicts. The left including your beloved president has been the key instigator to this division and this will get worse no matter who wins on Tuesday. Our enemys are loving this! Obama is a divider and so are you, People like you started this hatred!

Ummmmm….. if you were following the story, you would know that it took time for FBI investigators to get into Benghazi to start the investigation. Why would the CIA declassify and relase information before investigations could be done into the incident? Only incompetent people or people pushing an ideological meme would want information released before the investigation could be completed.

Pay attention please. The US Embassy is in Tripoli. Benghazi was a Consulate. They are not one and the same. Beefing up Embassy security would have done diddly squat for security in Benghazi.

Not many Romney/Ryan bumper stickers or yard signs either! Now that’s funny! Esp in a red state. I suppose Obama voters didn’t want their cars vandalized by conservative nut jobs based on how evident they are based on their responses on this blog!
I still have this question: Why on the anniversary of 911, did the Ambassador feel he just HAD to be in Benghazi? He knew his security was weak. He had no “cavalry” to save the day. He had to suspect the local security forces.
Oh and those who have stated “Obama killed the ambassador” you have forgotten the NRA mantra…guns do not kill, it is the person holding it that kills!

In an interview last night on 60 Minutes we had a discussion on the divisiveness of modern politics. The program brought in the leaders of the Senate from but parties and they literally looked like a set of twins. They both smirked and talked very guardedly about their contribution to the gridlock and the interviewer kept asking the questions as if the American public wanted this or that and wanted to know why they weren’t getting it. Never once did the 60 Minutes interviewer venture the opinion that a divisive press may be doing a lot of the damage. News made to order, paid for to back whatever opinion you wish to have for that day. Now you have two entirely different camps listening to two entirely different sets of “facts” tailored to their needs. I am sure we had this in the south before the War Between the States, the Atlanta paper backing human slavery, state’s rights to this slavery, and there were many a good Christian person who was sucked in by it. Not since the Civil War have we had this unifact reporting, returning us to those days where people strutted their immoral, misguided views in public and just like those times you have two countries forming in this country again. Once again you see a church landing on the wrong side of these issues, to stay popular with the masses. We need a way to force the honesty issue which there will be days neither side will enjoy nor want to hear it. Stop having news run out of the entertainment side of the network.

The investigation is going on right now. Should they say today we are done and there’s nothing there, you clowns would be saying “cover up”.
I am just amazed at the time frame you cons have for anything related to the Obama administration. It took nearly 20 years to come out of the Great Depression, the Japanese economy has yet to recover from it’s “recession” of the 80’s, yet President Obama was suppose to correct this calamity in 4 years, Now there is supposed to be answers for the deaths of 4 Americans in a foreign country, without a stable government to provide assistance in the drop of a hat.
I’ll never understand the pass you cons gave to Bush/Cheney after 9/11 which took the lives of 3000+ Americans. But in your world that makes since. “….it’s a wonderful world”, Ray Charles version.

“Are you a complete and utter moron or do you just lack the reasoning abilities to figure out that she is a US CITIZEN who LIVES in Great Britain at this time?
Or in your typical Republican manner do you just wish to trample all over the constitutional right of our fellow citizens because YOU don’t agree with them and lack the reasoning ability to debate with them?”
Thanks, I couldn’t figure that out for the life of me. I thought USinUK was a misspelling of ustink. Being a republican I am really dim-witted and only can function after getting my fill of Fox news each day. There – doesn’t that fit your canned stereotype better?
Actually I can’t debate with shear ignorance and those who sit on a pedestal looking down on those who disagree with them and shout the same mantras over and over again.

I still haven’t read any out rage over the 12 embassy attacks and the loss of life of the previous adminstration.
———————————————————————-
How many Americans were killed in those 12 attacks? It would be interesting to compare.

No one expects anything different from Georgia conservatives voters, not ever electing any minorties as Sen or Gov speaks for itself.

Of what use is it to bring up racism in this election? Obama may well win but those constantly raising the race issue are concerning to me if Obama loses…suggesting all GOP’s are racist is like suggesting all of BO supporters vote for him for the free goodies…neither is true.
Cheap shots both of them…

Here is a typical Republican talk radio listener. In order for him to feel “good” about himself he has to insult someone else. Notice the code words? “Spend more on car and air jordans.” What he means, but lacks the balls to just come out and say is that Krystal’s balls is Black. Like being Black is a shameful thing.
The hate and bigotry the right oozes from every pore is alarming………….

Does anyone really BELIEVE the government is going to release highly sensitive and classified information concerning foreign policy?
Where does one find this information real-time?
