House Republicans Fault US Military Response To Benghazi

A report by the House Benghazi panel is faulting the military for its slow response sending resources to Benghazi, Libya, during deadly 2012 attacks on a U.S. outpost, despite clear orders from President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.

Republicans on the Benghazi committee released an 800-page report on Tuesday on the attacks that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens.

The panel's chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina said "nothing was en route to Libya at the time the last two Americans were killed almost eight hours after the attacks began."

Gowdy said the Libyan forces that evacuated Americans from the CIA annex in Benghazi were not affiliated with any of the militias the CIA or State Department had developed a relationship with during the previous 18 months.

That told me a bunch of nearly nothing.

It was a CIA hit on the Ambassador.

He was an idiot who thought he could change the US government.

Reminds me of the stupid Kennedy kids.

And who is it that calls the shots for the military? Unfortunately for the people who died there (and the rest of America), the answer is the enemy. The military was ready and waiting but never got the orders. The house republicans are just as treasonous as the democrats.
