The Pentagon said two teams were sent to Benghazi, why are people still saying they no one was sent?

Question

and why do people still cite sources that still repeat these incorrect talking points?

http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/09/world/africa/libya-benghazi-timeline/

and even beyond that, Tapper said the CIA had a huge presence in the area as well:

and if they're in benghazi, something tells me they were probably highly trained field operators...

why do cons paint this picture that it was just "the Ambassador fending off terrorists with a stick"

Answer 1

Fox News tries to distort the actual events for political reasons..

Answer 2

Dear boy, it was never really the attack that was at issue...yes, okay, the Obama administration really had no response until the incident was over and the attackers were home drinking coffee and shagging their goat...but the cover up afterwards. A video? Seriously? One video out of the literal thousands that are out there that outraged a people? A video and a fat little man in California is arrested and imprisoned by the President of the United States as an advance of this façade? That is what tends to annoy the people. That their President and his followers lie with such impunity and abuse the people. Apparently, this doesn't bother you. Very well, then.



Laughing here. You seem to be projecting. And, I believe you have me confused with some other respondent. You tend to do that. It is not necessary for me to be consistent with another person's response.

Answer 3

wow

Because they didn't get there until AFTER it was over.



Again and again and again...



Obama administration was "concerned over Muslim sensitivities" and because of that, did not provide adequate security despite being a hotbed of terrorist activity and despite multiple warnings from CIA and despite the date of 911 approaching.



Inexcusable incompetence.



EDIT - FOX NEWS? Does a LIBERAL from NY TIMES mean FOX NEWS to you? Lol



Maureen Dowd

New York Times



The administration’s behavior before and during the attack in Benghazi, in which four Americans died, was unworthy of the greatest power on earth.



President Obama knew he was sending diplomats and their protectors into a country that was no longer a country, a land rife with fighters affiliated with Al Qaeda.



Yet in this hottest of hot spots, the State Department’s minimum security requirements were not met, requests for more security were rejected, and contingency plans were not drawn up, despite the portentous date of 9/11 and cascading warnings from the C.I.A



The defense secretary at the time, Leon Panetta, insisted, “We quickly responded.” But they responded that they would not respond.

Answer 4

One undeniable *fact* still remains --- why wasn't additional security provided for the Benghazi facility in the first place. They'd been begging for it for months!

Answer 5

None of them got there. I think we can all agree and the facts support it.

Answer 6

They were there overseeing the funneling of weapons to the Syrian Rebels not to protect our Ambassador!!!

Answer 7

those teams that went, went against orders, that was already shown during the testimony, then it was spun as if they were sent. Just another layer of disinformation in regards to this issue.

Answer 8

Because Cons are trying every way the can to nail Hillary, so some Tea Bagger can defeat her in 2016. All these lies about Obama originated with FOX which will never retract anything they originally lied about.
