EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say | Fox News

Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. Consulate and subsequent attack several hours later was denied by U.S. officials -- who also told the CIA operators twice to "stand down" rather than help the ambassador's team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11.

Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team who was at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. Consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When he and others heard the shots fired, they informed their higher-ups at the annex to tell them what they were hearing and requested permission to go to the consulate and help out. They were told to "stand down," according to sources familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they were again told to "stand down."

Obama lied to these families

Obama trotted out a private citizen who made a youtube video WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS in front of the world, arrested him, and blamed him at the UN General Assembly. He had more security than those Americans who were raped and murdered in Benghazi

If you still support Barack Obama after this you are not an American
 
Re: Obama Administration Watched Them Die And Denied Their Request For Help

I have been keeping up with it too and I am appalled by what has been reported. If all of that was not enough, now the families of the victims are coming forward saying that Obama and Clinton were not sincere when they met with them for the service when their bodies were returned home. They both said that while they were facing their direction neither Obama or Clinton could look them in the eye. They have also never given them honest answers about what really happened. Obama can't be trusted.

If everyone would put your self in the shoes of these parents I do not think you would vote for him. If it had been your child, brother, husband or father in this very same circumstance, would you still vote for Obama? I could never do it. I can't vote for a president that I can't trust. We won't find out what all happened until after the election either and even then Obama will never admit to his mistake. He will just blame someone else.

If I were the guy who made that video, I'd go out in full force against Obama for slandering him.

That said, what happened here is disgusting - but unless you turn on Fox News, nobody is talking about it.
 
Re: Obama Administration Watched Them Die And Denied Their Request For Help

Lars Larson's radio interview with Charles Woods (Tyrone's father) was particularly enlightening. This administration's perfidy needs much more publicity than it has gotten so far.

This is one of the most contrived conspiracy theories ever trotted out in the history of American politics.

And here we go

Clinton asked for more security in Benghazi, Obama said no - Atlanta Paulding County Republican | Examiner.com

Last night, it was revealed that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had ordered more security at the U.S. mission in Benghazi before it was attacked where four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens were murdered by Al-Qaeda but President Obama denied the request.

Hah, that's funny. That's what we Democrats were told if we didn't support Bush on Iraq -- the war he mislead the country into that cost the lives of 4,000 Americans and tens of thousands of casualties.

Conservatives truly have no shame.

Can you point to a single incident during those wars when the Bush WH ordered the military to stand down from rescuing soldiers?

Are you serious? It happens all the time in war. Requests for air cover are denied. Troops are ordered to stand down rather than engage when other units have been ambushed.

I am sure that whoever made the decision wasn't just trying to be mean. Time will tell why the decision was made, but it's ridiculously premature to assume that it was the wrong call without more information.

When it came out that the circumstances of Pat Tillman's death had been manipulated the media couldn't get enough of it yet in this circumstance....

When a soldier is killed by friendly fire and the story is manipulated to make him out to be a hero for political reasons that's a bad thing. When 4 Americans are killed and the story is that not only did they not receive timely assistance but that the requests for assistance were denied for political reasons that's treason.

This refusal to act in the interests of our people should be a great big wake up call for all Americans. Who else is this administration willing to let die for the sole purpose of advancing their ideology? Will they let Americans die in the street so that they have a political martyr to hang their ideology on?

Crawl back under the rock from which you came....

Have you listened to the stories of the families man? They all said that Obama wouldn't even look them in the eye. Joe Biden came to talk to the father of one of the SEALS, and you wanna know what he said? He started the conversation with, "hey, did your son always have balls the size of cue balls?"

Ya, you call that a remorseful statement? A statement of condolence? A statement one should receive from the Vice President of the freakin United States?

These guys, Obama and Biden, are always the kids in the room.

I'll tell you what the conspiracy is, and you're gonna learn it soon enough, is the operations in which Ambassador Stevens was involved in through the direction of Obama's State Department in an effort to oust Assad in Syria. You just wait for those Congressional hearings that will be coming up in a month or so.

Til then....stay classy liberals.

Ya know Adam, being the President means being able to make snap decisions sometimes.

Now, we know that Obama cant do that, after all, it took him a month to decide whether or not to get Bin Laden. Thankfully he did, but taking a month to decide??? Hmmmm.....

Hey Adam, Americans are dying in a firefight, and you're the President, and you're watching it real time through a drone feed.....you send support? Or wait for more information???

lol...liberals sicken me. It doesn't even require courage to send help to people who need it. As Commander in Chief, you dont wait for more information when you know something could be done to save the lives of soldiers and citizens. You respond. You act. You lead.

Good riddance Obama......and I'm poised and ready to smear it in the faces of all the liberals in America....starting with you Adam

Yeah, good analogy. It's odd, but I don't recall the right calling the Tillman incident the next Watergate and calling for Bush's head.

Otherwise, not a good analogy. In Tillman's case, the Army did an official investigation and concluded that he was killed by friendly fire. The report was covered up.

In this case, the investigation is ongoing and there is no official conclusion.

Well that's a good question, isn't it? You have obviously concluded, based upon no information, that you put more people into harms way. You haven't figured out if sending in more people would solve the problem, or perhaps it might result in the same result PLUS the death many more Americans. You're just going to shoot first and ask questions later, right?

Good thing you're not in a position of authority.

Point to me a single incident where the Secretary of Defense or George W. Bush or Dick Cheney directly ordered the military to not undertake a mission to assist or rescue soldiers under fire when they were ready to do so. Shouldn't be hard since you allege that happens all the time. Unless something is seriously backwards in this Administration, the Secretary of State doesn't give the military orders because it is not her chain of command.

I never served in combat but your conclusion that requests for assistance are denied all the time seems like one that you've come to via the movies and tv shows you've watched.

In real life circumstances like this there should have been a better 'script' than the one you and this administration seem to have read.

Having the luxury of watching a firefight through a live drone feed, I think I'de be able to make a call better than your man child messiah Obama yes. If I err, I err on the side of saving lives. Presidents don't get ridiculed for trying, they get ridiculed for doing nothing while they sit and watch outnumbered American citizens get killed by terrorists, only to later blame it on a video, and then cover up the fact they knew what was happening.

You're boy is done Adam......and you're going to be the first person I seek out to say I told you so.
 
Re: Obama Administration Watched Them Die And Denied Their Request For Help

You can always tell when Obama has done something indefensible by how quickly "Bush" enters the conversation.

With Tillman's death they knew what happened as soon as the after action reports were filed and a decision was made then and there to turn it political.

In the Benghazi incident all the evidence that's come out points to them knowing right away what happened and deciding then and there (possibly before) to turn it political.

Could that be because its yet another fox "exclusive" not naming names with no ability to actually verify that they are reporting facts. And we all know they always get it right.

for instance, who gave the standdown order? why was it given? In standing down, does that mean get in the safe room and lay low?
Bits an pieces of a story do not the whole tale tell. But its more than enough for political accusations and muckracking.

I wonder why this info is not being uncovered in the investigations taking place? Or if they are,

Your Messiah has no way out of this and you are still covering his lying third world loving ass. You will cry and moan on Nov. 7th.when you awake and find him out of a job. Then, you will whine and twist as he is made to pay for this outrage. Then, for a looong time afterwards you'll be remembered as one of those silly sycophants who defended the indefensible.

Stand down, AdamT.

Stand down.

There are other articles out there, but they are all citing fox.

Not sure I want CIA operatives named who are overseas...but I get what you are saying.

The amount of information is perfect for political accusations, if we had the whole picture, I am sure we would move on by now.

The info may in fact be in the act of uncovered, but we wont know until the investigation concludes and a report is released. We may not even know then.
