Email shows Pentagon was ready to roll as Benghazi attack occurred
- Thread starter Irish
- Start date
HRC and Susan Rice were in charge of the Pentagon?
Still clueless how Government works aren't you? HRC is Secretary of State; Obama is the President....so yes, the Pentagon was waiting for orders from them....they never came.....try to keep up. The Military only acts when their CIVILIAN overseers command them to. DUH.
Rice was in charge of nothing but being a propaganda mouthpiece for Obama; no one claimed she was anything more.
So the Secretary of State is able to order the Pentagon to act? Are you sure? That's not what I learned in school.

ROFL...USF always ready to parrot my response, yet still too askeered to talk to me.
It's no wonder he needs guns to feel brave.

FUCK THE POLICE
911 EVERY DAY

Airstrip One
Completely Effed
Vast right wing conspiracy aye.
Did Barack Obama and Hillary come out and Lie about those attacks and blame them on youtube videos to win an election?
Most of what actually happened on that fateful night in Benghazi will NEVER be known as it is only talked about in executive top-secret session. 7 other investigations, with their own executive top-secret sessions, have turned up ZERO to fault Sec. Clinton or anyone in the President Barack Hussein administration for. And it's looking more and more like this investigation will only reaffirm what is already known. Surprise, surprise!!!!!! Praise the lord!!!!!

So are Rana and MediaMatters claiming that this email doesn't exist ?
-Department of Defense Chief of Staff Jeremy Bash to State Department leadership immediately offering "forces that could move to Benghazi" during the terrorist attack on the U.S. Special Mission Compound in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012. In an email sent to top Department of State officials, at 7:19 p.m. ET, only hours after the attack had begun, Bash says, "we have identified the forces that could move to Benghazi. They are spinning up as we speak."
Or are they claiming it doesn't say exactly what it does say.
Republicans on the House Select Committee on Benghazi have implicitly admitted that conservative media were wrong to suggest that a newly-released email contradicted then-Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta's statement that an immediate military response to the September 11, 2012, attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities was not possible.
On Monday, conservative journalists uncritically promoted the conspiracy that a Department of Defense email from the night of the attacks proved that the Obama administration could have helped the Americans under fire during the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, but deliberately decided not to, and that Leon Panetta had lied about the effort during 2013 congressional testimony. Fox News has since declared the email is a "smoking gun" proving that "the only thing standing between the terrorists who overran the compound and the four Americans who lost their lives was a green light from the State Department." Predictably, they have also used the supposed controversy to attack former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
This claim was never remotely plausible, and was completely debunked after the Democratic ranking member of the Benghazi Committee produced an unredacted version of the email that conclusively proved that the forces discussed in the email as "spinning up" to respond to the attack were the very units that Panetta had said during his 2013 testimony had been deployed but had not been able to arrive in time to help.
In fact, even the committee's Republicans apparently won't defend the theory. They responded to the release of the unredacted email by attacking Democrats for supposedly "playing politics" by releasing it. But notably, they did not say that the Democrats were wrong to argue that the conservative media attacks were "baseless" and "debunked." From The Hill:

So there is more than one person who can order the Pentagon to act? "Them" is clearly more than one person. Who are they?
