    The new book just out 13 Hours, written by operatives that were in Benghazi during the attack lays waste all the lies told about Benghazi by several members of the Obama admin. These men finally acted on their own, but by them it was too late, and 4 good Americans were killed. The main point is that they WERE TOLD TO STAND DOWN!!!!!!!

    This is just another case if you wait a while the truth will come out. All the carefully planned lies of the Whitehouse, the State Dept, Hillary, and the CIA under control of Obama just flat assed lied.

    Wow! That is amazing. Imagine - after all of the money and time Republicans in Congress spent trying to get to the bottom of this, nobody thought to ask people who were they. The whole thing could have been wrapped up in a week. [/sarcasm]

    They're not lying, when you're an author it's called "artistic license".

    If I had to bet, I'd bet that the Obama administration was lying. After all, they do it on a daily basis. I am not that naive. We already know they lied about the video causing the attack. We also know that he was up for re-election and his only claim to fame had been the killing of bin Laden and his "we have al qaeda on the run"rhetoric . How would it look if Al Qaeda was responsible and was not on the run? They blatantly lied because he wanted to get re-elected. They didn't care and still don't care about those 4 brave men who were murdered. They will do anything to get what they want. Those men are telling the truth.

    So-----------who is it logical to believe? The men that were there fighting on that night, or the Obama admin and Hillary that have been proven to lie almost continually about almost everything???? Personally I am throwing in with the men that were there fighting, and knew everyting about the whole attack.

    I would like to know from the Obama apologists what would make you believe known liars other than your partisan loyalty? What reason do you have to not believe those that were actually there?

    Or you could go by the facts....you know...reality, and then it really looks like they made up stuff for the book to appeal to right wing cult followers who will swallow anything from Larry Craig to Obama's Kenyan BC.....

    - - - Updated - - -

    We already saw someone on 60 Minutes who claimed to have been there that night, but was making it all up, because that is the side of the toast where the butter is.....

    Sorry, but the Time's summary of the major points of this book do not support your claims. (which is not surprising).

    You mean the hyper liberal (utterly loyal to Barack Obama and -- very soon now and once again -- Hillary Clinton) whom they have been covering and spinning for ever since Benghazi broke? THAT New York Times? Oh yeah, now that's a non-partisan and ongoing participant in this ongoing example of increasingly bizare leftwing slapstick now isn't it? Sheesh!

    Funny you don't post the name of the book or the actual positions of the "operatives" who wrote the book. Pretty damning that they did not act to,save the ambassador if they were actually there.

    It's sad watching far right wing screamers cling desperately to thier shredded narrative.

    The claims being made by the OP here are not supported by the book he refers to. (you all should have had a clue when he failed to mention even the name of the book, it's author, or provide a link).

    No, the "stand down" was a local order, and no one on Washington, the White House or the CIA was even aware of it at the time.

    And the book says that.

    Undermining the rants of every right winger on this thread.

    So people here still think a YouTube video watched by very few caused a spontaneous coordinated attack on our embassy? That's what our president told everyone. So you still believe that?.

    "The security contractors -- Kris (“Tanto”) Paronto, Mark (“Oz”) Geist, and John (“Tig”) Tiegen -- spoke exclusively, and at length, to Fox News about what they saw and did that night. Baier, Fox News’ Chief Political Anchor, asked them about one of the most controversial questions arising from the events in Benghazi: Was help delayed?

    Word of the attack on the diplomatic compound reached the CIA annex just after 9:30 p.m. Within five minutes, the security team at the annex was geared up for battle, and ready to move to the compound, a mile away."


    If you are really interested in watching their account of the events,
    Friday, September 5 at 10 p.m. ET

    Saturday, September 6 at 5 p.m. & 9 p.m. ET

    Sunday, September 7 at 8 p.m. & 11 p.m. ET

    The New York Times article states that it was the base commander's decision to issue the stand down, so he could get local Libyan forces to respond.

    Conservatives don't want the truth about Benghazi...it will always be a conspiracy to defraud the American people.

    Benghazi "scandal" is the GOP's security blanket. Instead of giving them security...it keeps all their fears of wrong-doing safe and sound. How else is a RWNJ going to exist without the hope that someone is out trying to get over on them...

    Mitchell Zuckoff is a very good investigative reporter. It appears that Fox News has seized the book, cherry picked what looks bad for Hillary, and has proceeded with putting the frustrated security detail on TV, and now they are just spinning it all into something Hillary or Obama was responsible for. Even though Zuckoff and the security guys can't say if Hillary or Obama had anything to do with the order.....at least that I can see.

    It's almost like the GOP/Fox is presenting more speculation as proof that Obama hates Americans and loves terrorists

    Right. Because nothing shows love for people like firing missiles at them from drones. I'm thankful nobody loves me like that.
