... an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. Consulate and subsequent attack several hours later was denied by officials in the CIA chain of command -- who also told the CIA operators twice to "stand down" rather than help the ambassador's team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11.

    In the end the offensive movie maker will be the only one who was taken to jail. Cuz, after all, it was all his fault. (Why the HELL can't somebody figure out who concocted that F-ing story??!!) Is anybody even asking or demanding answers?? At least several people HAVE to know the answer to that. What a bunch of criminals we have in charge. Yikes O Rama!

    But then, inside the Fox News alternate-reality field, "Atlas Shrugged: Part II" was probably a smash commercial success, wasn't it.

    Those men were abandoned in the field. This sends a horrible message to all who serve. Perhaps some good will come of this. Obama losing in a landslide would be a good thing.

    You bet they do. There is so much wrong with this situation. If people don't go to jail, the loss of faith that people have in the justice system will do far more damage. They don't have much if any faith now.

    Those two former SEALs were braver than I thought. They went against orders to rescue as many as they could before they were killed themselves. Someone needs to go to jail over this.
