And unlike St. Ronnie the Magnificent, Obama didn't stick his tail between his legs and sneak out of the country (nor actively trade with terrorists).

State side; they were watching it real time through a drone and didn't do a damn thing...

And you source for that is?

"Over the weekend, another element of Benghazi fiasco was revealed to a public that has been forced to sift through several disparate narratives to get to the truth. The U.S. military had an unmanned Predator drone flying over the Benghazi consulate during the attack that claimed the life of ambassador Christopher Stevens, Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, and agent Sean Smith. That drone, as well as “other reconnaissance aircraft” seemingly observed what is now being characterized as the “final hours of the protracted battle.” How protracted? It has now been revealed that the last two Americans weren’t killed until more than six hours after the attack began."

Just a Right Wing blog with a motto: "....... Because Without America There Is No Free World".

The blogger actually does link to a story from CBS which states, without even an unnamed source, that there was a drone overhead.

It also says that "A White House official told CBS News that a 'small group of reinforcements' was sent from Tripoli to Benghazi, but declined to say how many or what time they arrived."

It also says that "The Pentagon says it did move a team of special operators from central Europe to the large Naval Air Station in Sigonella, Italy, but gave no other details."

Operational details and after-action reports are not, and should not be, fodder for the press, especially a hostile one.

So, our tea-stained buddy is wrong. There was a response and a careful look at his own link proves it. He must have been tutored by whell.

Anyone who believes that there are seamless communications between State, CIA and DoD in cases like this have no experience whatsoever in this realm. My son is moving from Germany (working for DoD) to Israel (working for State) this week. They cannot even coordinate the logistics of a household move for an employee moving between the agencies. Hell, even different Commands within the Army cannot communicate effectively with each other.

Isn't it ironic that these drones like JBStemp lap up this crazy assed conspiracy theories? I wonder who is behind this Canadian Free Press, Murdoch? The Koch Brothers? G.Gordon Libby? Sheldon Adelsohn? It surely isn't any Canadians...

From Wikipedia:

Conservative writer Kevin Michael Grace has described McLeod's writing as that of an "emotionally incontinent ninth grader," while Toronto Star columnist Antonia Zerbisias describes her as "eccentric" and the Canada Free Press as a "whacko news site."

Toronto Life magazine reported that McLeod was harassing city councillor Betty Disero. McLeod had been driving past Disero's home, taking pictures.

McLeod published the home address and photograph of Cathy Crowe, co-founder of the Toronto Disaster Relief Committee, in the CFP along with what Crowe's lawyer deemed defamatory statements. The lawyer alleged that McLeod was encouraging her readers to harass and even physically attack Crowe. The paper also published the home address of "anti-poverty activist" John Clarke of the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty along with a photograph of the house he was renting.

"Just Bull Shit....." sure does know how to find legitimate sources!
