They Left Our Guys to Die

I hope that the American people are paying attention, but I fear they are not, aided and abetted by the former mainstream media (FMSM) who are doing their best to bury this story.

Jennifer Griffin from Fox News/Washington Post broke the Libya story wide open yesterday with sources who were on the ground during the 7 HOUR attack. We learned that the secret CIA station a mile from the American Consulate heard the shooting and immediately sent a flash traffic message to headquarters and were then told twice to "stand down." We know that the two former Navy SEALS who were killed disobeyed these orders and went to the Consulate to help where they fought the attackers and successfully evacuated 30 people to the CIA facility. We know that the bad guys followed and they fought an extended battle for 5 hours or so, calling for military support multiple times, specifically AC-130 gunships. They were denied multiple times, even though we had these gunships 480 miles away on Sicily on standby. 

The Obama Administration let our guys die. They could have saved at least some of them by ordering our assets into the air and sorting things out in the 1-2 hours it would have taken them to arrive. Apparently this did not fit their campaign narrative that the bad guys were in retreat and was therefore very politically inconvenient. They would cover it later with references to videos as the cause or some other lame story. 

These leaks will continue and expand as to what actually happened. You are witnessing a full-blown mutiny from the military and the intelligence community at Obama's handling of this tragic affair. Essentially they are saying that if you think you can send us in harm's way and abandon us when things go in the tank; think again. 

Yesterday, a local TV reporter in Denver directly asked the President the question that the FMSM have refused to ask - did you ignore the cries for help from our people in Benghazi? The President said that this wasn't what this election was about and changed the subject. No Mr. President - this is what this election is all about. This is a shameful episode the likes of which I cannot remember in my lifetime. Americans do not abandon Americans. Never!
