The two former SEALS,  Tyrone Woods, 41, and Glen Doherty, 42, were not employed by the State Department ...were what is known as personal service contractors who had other duties ...

They stepped into action, however, when Stevens became separated from the small security detail normally assigned to protect him when he traveled from the more fortified embassy in Tripoli to Benghazi, the officials said.

The two ex-Seals and others engaged in a lengthy firefight..., a fight that stretched from the inner area of the consulate to an outside annex and a nearby safe house -- a location that the insurgents appeared to know about, the officials said.

Would that he had a proper Embassy contingent.  Peace.

The officials provided the information to the Washington Guardian, saying they feared the Obama administration’s scant description of the episode left a misimpression that the two ex-Navy SEALs might have been responsible for the ambassador’s personal safety or become separated from him.

Yeah, expecting truth and honor from a bunch of asshats who know nothing of either!

Once more, throwing SEALs (active or former) under the bus, not a good idea.

The SCoaMF Admin is truly reprehensible.

ETA - Oh, and isn't this bit of news just peachy?!

Sufyan Ben Qumu is thought to have been involved and even may have led the attack, Fox News' intelligence sources said. Qumu, a Libyan, was released from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in 2007 and transferred into Libyan custody on the condition he be kept in jail. He was released by the Qaddafi regime as part of its reconciliation effort with Islamists in 2008.

His Guantanamo files also show he has ties to the financiers behind the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The declassified files also point to ties with the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, a known Al Qaeda affiliate.

So much for arguing these POS's deserve civilian trials or anything other than summary execution, but by all means close Gitmo and return these wronged people to kill again.  Doesn't matter under who's watch, those ideas are stupid and doubling-down on them makes zero sense.

Are you referring to this administration or to al-qaeda?

Just 50 dead?  Crap, we can do better than that!  More truthful movies, cartoons and articles about Islam!  Let's set these people off!

He can't see to the defense of one Ambassador;
how can he see to the defense of America?

ETA:

They floated a balloon yesterday saying even if a contengent of Marines were there the embassy would have been overwhelmed.  BS to that.

The heavily armed extremists who laid siege to the U.S. Consulate in Libya used military-style tactics that may have steered Americans toward a waiting ambush, U.S. officials said Friday as they pieced together details about how the compound was overrun.

Obama Knew About Benghazi Attacks Three Hours After They Began... Went to Bed
Obama Knew About Benghazi Attacks Three Hours After They Began... Went to Bed


Special Report’s extensive report on the Benghazi cover-up by the Obama administration

President Obama has taken out ads in Pakistan apologizing to the whole world for the anti-Mohammed video.

Whatever is self-evident to Carney is not self-evident to him. And between two types of self-evidence, what is evident to the One should be evident to the many.

    The U.S. embassy in Pakistan is airing a public service advertisement on Pakistani television that features President Barack Obama denouncing an anti-Islam video that has sparked protests across the Muslim world.

    The U.S. State Department said the embassy spent $70,000 to run the 30-second announcement, which features the president talking about America’s history of religious tolerance. In the same ad, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is seen saying the U.S. government had nothing to do with the inflammatory video that insults the Prophet Muhammad.

The administration’s policy has descended into literal incoherence. It is fragmented. No two parts of it fit. It is a like a database where the same query returns a different answer each time. It’s like a telephone that connects to a different person each time you punch in the same number. But it’s not broken. As George Will once observed: this is what a liberal administration looks like.

[Alphabet Soup]

Found this poking around at your link Pan. Hat-tip and kudos to "Walt" (Whomever you are):

16. Walt

The tenses change from present to past. At first the attack on the Benghazi consulate IS the result of an obscure YouTube movie trailer that no one had seen, and now, a week later, the administration admits it WAS a planned attack, as those dirty Republicans insisted. But now, it seems, the whole thing is best forgotten as an unfortunate and unforeseen incident, to join other unfortunate and unforeseen incidents in the past tense.

Benghazi was a peaceful place
Indeed had not a single trace
Of Muslim men attacking like some Huns
So sayeth State, and what is more
They saw no need to guard the store
And so they hired locals armed with guns

That had no bullets just in case
Some peaceful men might rush the place
And burn it down and curse the Yankee flag
And kill and thrill the cheering crowd
Who loved what Allah had allowed
And cheered and spit on that star spangled rag

But State had seen no need for guns
For we don’t want to be the ones
To foster violence where there was no cause
They had some locals there to guard
The consulate inside the yard
When trouble came they ran without a pause

But not to worry State did say
There is no trouble on the way
Although some peaceful protests there may be
But in Benghazi don’t you know
The people there just love us so
Their love is just quite wonderful to see

But then on an unforeseen day
A nine eleven by the way
A group of men armed with both bombs and guns
Attacked and killed four of our men
The State Department acted then
By saying such a thing just simply stuns

They said the fault was some poor slob
Who did a horrid hatchet job
On their beloved Prophet who they claimed
Was much insulted by the flick
Produced by some poor redneck hick
And so it was that this was who got blamed

At first it was the present tense
Yes even though it made no sense
To say the killings were no fault of those
Who peaceably had gathered there
To say they didn’t think it fair
That some dumb movie made them so morose

But now the tense has turned to past
The lies of State just could not last
They now admit attacks were quite well planned
Of course denying they’re at fault
They want the stories now to halt
That claim it’s they who saw the place not manned

By men with guns who shot to kill
And all because State lacked the will
To face with force the mob who stormed the gates
And so the tenses twist and turn
As O and State just never learn
That lies and cover ups just tempt the fates

And so the story that they told
Is changing now it’s grown so old
That Muslim movie critics said thumbs down
On a brief piece of what some said
Was quite enough to see us dead
And State instead of learning just dumbs down

Dear Lord I cannot stand one more second of this asshat Obama Regime!

Everything is spin, and bad spin at that, that this Regime once again effed up bad, and the Dear Leader rolled over and went to bed, because, after all, he doesn't (and still doesn't) give a sh*t!  Now, he's all about covering crap up and spending taxpayer money to kiss ass in Muzzieland and just blame the whole damned thing on a sh*tty little movie nobody knew jack sh*t about!

http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/permanent-spin_652887.html

This LPOS should be behind bars, that he is not is beyond criminal negligence on the Congress!

But all Congress (Pubbies anyway, persumably Dingy Harry & Nasty Pelosi or OK with it) is only concerned about the NYT getting better breifings than they get from the Regime.

Yeah, boo fricken hoo!  Whattaya gonna do about it?  Piss and moan?  Check.  Maybe drag asses before hearings?  BFD!  You pussies should be convening articles of impeachment, not cowering like bed-wetters and crying like little girls!

Screw 'em!  I've had all the damned Kabuki I can handle...

That would require cajones which the GOP is sorely lacking. RINO's are on my list.

How ironic that this guy was one of them, that he carried out their wishes, and now they are jumping all over CNN and lashing oat at everyone who challenges their lame meme about this fustercluck.

Hillary's spokesloser is merely contonuing the cover up and denying any responsibility at all.  It is amazing anybody would want to be part of this diseased, corrupt and ultimately self-eating Administration.

Heads ought to be rolling in DC over this, very very high heads!

Robert Gibbs: White House Did Not ‘Intentionally or Unintentionally’ Mislead on Libya Attack

"“Absolutely no one intentionally or unintentionally misled anybody involved in this.  Absolutely not,” Gibbs responded.  “We learn more information every single day about what happened.  Nobody wants to get to the bottom of this more than we do.”"

Lies and more lies.

The "Consulate" in Libya was nothing of the kind and there was no compound; it was a rented house, that's all.  Nobody is asking just what Stevens was doing there, on the anniversary of 9/11, and with no security.  The two supposed security men weren't.  Nobody is interested in asking why the "gamer" guy was posting on a game-site at that time, just chalking it up to weird?  There was early talk of "weapons retrieval", then nothing.  What weapons?  Nobody seems to care.

Now, I have to say I heard Beck asking just these questions this morning, but he's not the first, so I put a little more credence to it than I would ordinarily.

Tinfoil hat accusations notwithstanding, I suspect there's a cover-up going on here, and the "YouTube" story was floated only so that once it could be sh*tcanned as nonsense, people would believe the truth had been revealed.

[Libertas]

The denials and the angst of the White House clowns and their retarded meme of "it's the stupid racist anti-Muhammad video" meme only makes sense if viewed through the lens of a false flag op designed to throw the scent off something far far worse going on inside the Obama Regime.

I have nothing to base this upon, but to be caught in such a blant lie (or series of many lies comprising a larger lie) and appearing not to give a crap ought to concern us all.

I have nothing to base it upon except a really unsettling feeling that there is something much worse than this consular event lurking within this Regime.

Add up the disturbing dots...ammo purchases by once thought benign and non-benign government agencies...fiat being printed like keggar flyers...regulators throwing granny in jail over her garden/wetland/(fill-in-the-blank)...TSA...NDAA...Muslims gone wild...destroying individualism and promoting groupism...looting producers and rewarding deadbeats...raising the debt limit time and again...F&F...Agenda 21...etc., etc, etc...

We'll be lucky to make it to next year, let alone the election...
