It also shows that a rescue force WAS available at the time of the attack...and were they contacted, they could have been there in time to make a difference.

According to the chronology she offers, Clinton issued the statement linking Benghazi to the video before she called President Obama on the night of the attack to provide an update, suggesting she was the originator of the flawed explanation.
Want to try that towing of the party line again?
party line?....you do realize she had to depend on the intel from the alphabet agency people, and from DOD, to provide this "update" to the president....because...she wasn't there in Benghazi...you do get that right?
Where was Obama during Benghazi? Ask the White House diarist
So how is it that the White House has failed to give a full account of the president’s whereabouts during that eight-hour period? The White House knows precisely where he was and what he was doing, yet it is refusing to share that information with Congress and the American people.
This is unacceptable. Imagine if 20 months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the George W. Bush White House had still refused to account for where the president was or what he was doing that day. There would be outrage and constant demands from the press, Congress and other investigators demanding to know the answer to a simple factual question: Where was the president?

All we know was that Obama was NOT in the situation room.
I still think it's rather amazing that we still haven't been told where the President WAS during the attack.
Especially considering that that information is not 'Classified'.

Wrong. The R.S.O. & the C.O.M., BOTH have coded flash comm. capability. This flash comm. goes directly (in the case of a diplomatic mission being attacked) to The State Department, and more importantly to the War-Room.
The State-Dept. liason immediately notifies the Secretary of State. The War-Room liason, one of the many people standing next to the president 24/7, is also immediately notified. Who in turn immediately notifies the President next to him.
The idea that Niether of those people knew anything is ludicrous, and a lie.

1...the administration had ALWAYS said this was a terrorist attack, it was the motivation that was under question
2...the "youtube video" that right wingers remain turgid about, was reported to the administration by the alphabet agencies as possibly being the most likely motivation in the first few days after the initial attack
3...the DOD stated in congressional reports that they did not have assets capable of responding quick enough.
and as far as these "phones and phone calls"......."sources say" has no credibility....name names, or it goes in the HOAX file, as far as I'm concerned
ok...so....what did they know for sure?

The real truth is that there was a gun running operation going on, and the guys on the ground were caught up in it. At the direction of the Admin.

The question about Benghazi that keeps going through my mind is; who is the psychic who knew how long long the victims could hold out, that advised everyone to not even attempt a rescue. That is the real damning question here.
They had no idea how long that would go on, or how much time they had to get there to maybe save even one person, when the decision to sit on their hands was made. To not even try is so bad, I can't imagine anyone covering up for it, but they did. It speaks to the true character of this administration.
Stahl also contended that given his crew’s alert status and location, they could have reached Benghazi in time to have played a role in rescuing the victims of the assault, and ferrying them to safety in Germany, had they been asked to do so. “We were on a 45-day deployment to Ramstein air base,” he told Fox News. “And we were there basically to pick up priority missions, last-minute missions that needed to be accomplished.”
You would've thought that we would have had a little bit more of an alert posture on 9/11,” Stahl added. “A hurried-up timeline probably would take us [an] hour-and-a-half to get off the ground and three hours and fifteen minutes to get down there. So we could've gone down there and gotten them easily.”
