"The [Obama] White House and the [Clinton] State Department watched, in real time from an overhead drone, live video of the attack and did nothing. They did nothing to help those Americans under attack, those Americans who ended up dead. No action was taken, no troops deployed to aid those under siege in the 7 hour attack. That's right, the attack lasted 7 hours... The President lied about the motivation for the attack, lied about his knowledge of the attack, and lied to cover up all of it."

On Sep 11, Ambassador Stevens paid the ultimate price for Hillary Clinton's obscene laughter mocking the rape and murder of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Too bad she wasn't there to share the laughter in person. Why did Clinton and Obama ignore the repeated requests for enhanced security?

"To make its involvement in Libya seem successful, the Obama administration has pursued a policy of 'normalization' of relations with Libya. This has meant scaling down the U.S. security forces in and around the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Libya... [The team] assigned to protect the ambassador and his staff was pulled out in August, just a month before the attacks. This was done over the protests of the leader of the team, the State Department regional security director and Ambassador Stevens himself."

"The August 15 cable from Ambassador Christopher Stevens to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, marked 'secret', was sent by the Benghazi mission and outlined both the threats and the insufficiencies to U.S. security in Libya. The mission called for an "emergency meeting" to discuss the rapidly eroding situation on the ground:

"RSO (Regional Security Officer) expressed concerns with the ability to defend Post in the event of a coordinated attack due to limited manpower, security measures, weapons capabilities, host nation support, and the overall size of the compound."

-- Heritage Foundation

"Emails...indicated that the White House had been informed almost immediately that a terror group had taken responsibility for the attack in Benghazi, and Fox News reported this morning that the two former Navy SEALs, Ty Woods and Glen Doherty, had been refused in requests for assistance they had made from the CIA annex. Jake Tapper quoted [CIA director] Petraeus this afternoon denying that the CIA was responsible for the refusal: "No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate."
