It\u2019s a month after the incident in Bengzahi, Libya and the Obama administration is still trying to shift blame and responsibility.<\/p>\n

First, the President claimed the attacks were nothing more than a riot that got out of control as a result of a video that insulted the religion of Islam. This narrative was shot full of holes almost immediately, because as we know, a CIA safehouse, which no random rioters could have possibly known about, was also attacked.<\/p>\n

Then we were told by the State department and others that this was an Al Queda cell that we had no prior knowledge of. Except, of course, the Ambassador, as well as military leaders in the area, called for additional security assistance days and weeks BEFORE the attacks. None was granted.<\/p>\n

Finally, we were told that there was no way for anyone to know what was going on at the time of the attacks, a story that Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta is sticking to even today. Except that there were two (2) drones in the air observing the incident in real time. Not only that, but military assets, including the Delta Force special operations teams, were standing by ready to deploy within minutes, yet they were told to wait \u2014 for what? \u2014 we can\u2019t imagine.<\/p>\n

An\u00a0exclusive report from FoxNews<\/a>\u00a0now claims that the situation was much more clear than the administration has made it out to be, and that repeated real-time calls for assistance, while drones surveyed the area, were ignored.<\/p>\n

Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an\u00a0urgent request from the CIA annex for\u00a0military back-up\u00a0during the attack on the U.S. consulate and subsequent attack several hours later\u00a0was denied\u00a0by U.S. officials<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 who also told the CIA operators twice to \u201cstand down\u201d rather than help the ambassador\u2019s team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11.<\/p>\n

Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team who was at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When he and others heard the shots fired, they informed their higher-ups at the annex to tell them what they were hearing and requested permission to go to the consulate and help out. They were told to \u201cstand down,\u201d according to sources familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they were again told to \u201cstand down.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2026<\/p>\n

At that point, they called again for military support and help because they were taking fire at the CIA safe house, or annex.\u00a0The request was denied<\/strong>. There were\u00a0no communications problems<\/strong>\u00a0at the annex, according those present at the compound. The team was in constant radio contact with their headquarters. In fact, at least one member of the team was on the roof of the annex manning a heavy machine gun when mortars were fired at the CIA compound. The\u00a0security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up support<\/strong>\u00a0from a Spectre gunship, which is commonly used by U.S. Special Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams on the ground involved in intense firefights.\u00a0The fighting at the CIA annex went on for more than four hours<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 enough time for any planes based in Sigonella Air base, just 480 miles away, to arrive.<\/p>\n

Fox News has also learned that two separate Tier One Special operations forces were told to wait, among them Delta Force operators.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Earlier this week President Obama, when answering a question from a reporter\u2019s 6-year-old son, referred to Governor Romney as a \u201cbullshitter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Given what has transpired from the beginning of this President\u2019s election campaign through today, it is clear that the bullshitter here is President Obama.<\/p>\n

And for those apologist out there that will claim Mr. Obama was not the one making the decisions surrounding the Bengzahi incident, or that State was in charge, or that Secretary Panetta was making the military calls,\u00a0we say BULLSHIT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

President Obama is the Commander-In-Chief of \u00a0The United States of America. He, and he alone, is responsible for the deaths of the four Americans left to die that day.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We had live, real-time video of the incident as it occurred. We had live, real-time communications from CIA assets that were within yards of the incident. We had CIA assets lazing targets for air strikes. We had direct requests for military assistance. We had four hours to respond.<\/p>\n

And, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta claims we are all \u201cMonday morning quarterbacks\u201d for calling it like we see it?<\/p>\n

We hold the utmost respect for our military and intelligence assets. We can not say the same for the leadership at the executive levels of our government. Four Americans died as a result of the incompetence of this President, and we\u2019re only discussing it because whistleblowers within the military, intelligence community and the administration have felt compelled to provide the American public with information.<\/p>\n

Moreover, President Obama recently met with the father of Tyrone Woods, one of the men killed in Bengzahi, and\u00a0according to the elder Mr. Woods<\/a>, the President couldn\u2019t even look him in the eye when he spoke to him (apparently with little empathy or care) about the death of his son:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen [Obama] came over to our little area\u201d at Andrew Air Force Base, says Woods, \u201che kind of just mumbled, you know, \u2018I\u2019m sorry.\u2019 His face was looking at me, but his eyes were looking over my shoulder like he could not look me in the eye. And it was not a sincere, \u2018I\u2019m really sorry, you know, that your son died,\u2019 but it was totally insincere, more of whining type, \u2018I\u2019m sorry.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Woods says that shaking President Obama\u2019s hands at his son\u2019s memorial service was \u201clike shaking hands with a dead fish.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just didn\u2019t feel right,\u201d he says of his encounter with the commander in chief. \u201cAnd now that it\u2019s coming out that apparently the White House situation room was watching our people die in real time, as this was happening,\u201d Woods says, he wants answers on what happened\u2013and why there was no apparent effort to save his son\u2019s life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Our suspicion is that countless others have died over the last four years as a direct result of the incompetence of this President and his surrogates, except their stories have been covered up by giant piles of bullshit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
