"The security officers in particular were genuine heroes. They quickly tried to rally additional local support and heavier weapons, and when that could not be accomplished within minutes, they still moved in and put their own lives on the line to save their comrades," the official said.


"At every level in the chain of command, from the senior officers in Libya to the most senior officials in Washington, everyone was fully engaged in trying to provide whatever help they could," the official said.

They did NOT dispatch ANYBODY. Those two SEAL's went in to help in refusal to follow the stand down order that the OA issued. NOBODY came came to help them, the emergency task forces sat on the ground while given the order to not engage despite engaging being their default response to these situations. The intervention they train for was only halted with a direct order to NOT get involved. Two men close to the scene ignored those orders and paid with their lives.

How the hell do you think they helped in every way they could when they sent not one single person in to help? It wasn't a failed intervention, or an intervention that got there too late. There was no intervention, at all.

I'm hoping for the OA to take responsibility for the things they did wrong. I'd be satisified if they simply issued a statement that they made a mistake and will be putting policies in place to prevent any reoccurances of this kind of thing. TRUE leaders do that. When things go wrong, they take responsibility for it, when they go right, they give credit for it. With the OA, the response is completely reversed.

They have said they are investigating and if there were any failures or breakdowns they will be brought out. WTF do you want? You are simply hoping for a gotcha. I hate that you guys only buy the story that you hope puts Obama in a bad light. You have for four long years and have never found this guy involved in one of your BS scandals.

They need to accept responsibility instead of assigning it to someone else. First it was the video, then it was Sec. Clinton, now it's the CIA. How about doing what LEADERS do and taking responsibility??
