Yes, you do....spin and bullshit....from a left wing cite that spews the same type of crap day after day..
Here is your answer.....NOT from thinkprogress..
The question was never if the military could have gotten to Benghazi "in time" to save the Ambassador and the others, the question was why wasn't some show of
military force attempted at all. As they say, better late than never. And the most obvious question, given the fact that or if no assets were available, why the fuck weren't assets available in a region where it was already known that attacks against westerners were going on for several months and the our people in the region were lacking adequate security....
Why was no military assets within reach, and why way there inadequate security in the first place ? Because, because, wait for it, because
\
Last month, the Democratic-led Senate Intelligence Committee
faulted the State Department and the intelligence community for failing to increase security at the poorly protected temporary diplomatic outpost in Benghazi and a nearby CIA compound.
"The Pentagon also confirmed to the HASC that there were no AC-130 gunships or armed drones within the region that night.
You can bet your ass they now....
"Defense Department, where senior officials were unaware of the intelligence annex"
Unaware there was an annex ?...thats unbelievable.....and inexcusable.
Italy-based F-16 aircraft were not on alert status, and “it is not at all certain that they would have been particularly helpful in this instance.”
Are they really saying the F-16's weren't scrambled because they weren't on alert status ? How freakin' lame is that excuse...if no one is 'on alert status' we
don't respond to attacks? You gotta be shittin' me.
Then the pinheads on the left claim "there is no scandal ?
From the Senate report....
The White House
“either failed to comprehend the situation in Libya,” despite intelligence warnings, or
“ignored the dramatically deteriorating security situation there” and did not instruct the military to change its deployment and readiness.
Both are proof of gross incompetance by the White House and the State Dept......Obama and Hillary Clinton...
