The quick reaction team would return to the annex with the five Diplomatic Security agents from the mission. However, they had not left danger behind. The annex –which by night’s end would be refuge for about 32 Americans — would soon be taking on intense fire.
U.S. reinforcements, however, were on the way. Around 2 a.m., eight Marines sent from the embassy in Tripoli landed at the Benghazi airport. But Libyan officials there initially prevented them from pushing ahead with their rescue mission. “[The Americans] wanted all eight to go to the annex,” said Faruq, a leader of the Libyan Shield Brigade, one of numerous local brigades and tasked that night with coordinating the arrival of the Marines. “But we were told to only allow two.”
The Libyans apparently did not want a bunch of U.S. military men running around their country for fear of causing an uproar among citizens. But the Marines were adamant they would go as a team. After several back and forth conversations with Libya Shield’s commander, the Libyans finally relented.
But as soon as the Marines solved one problem, they encountered another — they had only GPS coordinates and no address for the annex, which was supposed to be hush-hush in any case. “We couldn’t arrange our forces to go to a place we didn’t know about,” Faruq said, explaining his reluctance to send his own soldiers with the Marines.

He should be just as accountable as Bush was- although he never will be.

Wow, this is the top ATS thread right now. The deluded and desperate rgiht-wingers/Obama-haters clutching at straws. I got news for you blokes: UFO/ET disclosure is more likely to happen than Obama being impeached and imprisoned for whatever happened during the Benghazi attack. I also recommend you turn up the A/C in the right-wing echo chamber because you all are blowing more hot air than ever, and it's causing sensible people to yawn.

Let's count how many posts in this thread alone say "I can't believe you people are so stupid to think that voting counts" or "the president is just a puppet, it doesn't really matter" etc....
Every other post almost.
That's rather tin-hat imo.
I can believe that Bush Jr was goaded, scolded, and directed by Daddy Bush, and yeah some other Presidents were coerced into some things via blackmail or by financial obligations to special interest donors etc.. But that crap isn't happening 24/7. They don't pickup that secret telephone when it rings to receive the daily orders from the New World Order... That works in movies and fiction and perhaps paranoid minds, but not in reality.
Encouraging people not to vote or to give up trying to make a difference is exactly what we don't need right now. So just stop it.

My my reckoning, George W Bush was over 1000 times worse than Obama. You folks are giving Dubyah one helluva Mulligan being white.

Yeah, because like if the MSM doesn't buy all this ridiculous hype and these claims being blown about by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, the Washing Times and their online fellow travelers, then the MSM is clearly in cahoots with Obama and the Democrats -- just like the MSM was during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. *NOT*
But hey, anything to rationalize why most people aren't buying this lurid tale of skulduggery/incompetence/negligence/treason/satanism/whatever by the Obama administration that you folks are desperately trying to convince us of.
But let's look at the facts: four US government personnel killed for whatever reason -- possibly a screw up, possibly just happenstance. And you RWNB's want Obama's head for it. Bush II leads the US into an illegal, debacle of a war, based on false reasons; over 4,000 Americans are killed and 40,0000+ are severely wounded/maimed because of it, but you same folks have no problem with that. My my reckoning, George W Bush was over 1000 times worse than Obama. You folks are giving Dubyah one helluva Mulligan for being white.
