I would say mind numbing on how ill prepared we were to respond to an attack on our embassy after repeated requests from Hicks, second in command to Ambassador Stevens, and Stevens himself for more security in
a hot bed of terrorism before the anniversary of 9/11. Complete failure
on Clinton's part.
That Tripoli was down to 4 special forces troops from an original 14.
That a Drone was over the embassy taking pictures 2 hours into the attack but
an armed drone wasn't around in Libyia ?????
That the FEST ( Foreign Embassy Support Team) formed for just such attacks
was told to stand down. Kennedy said no, the FBI should handle it.
The 4 Special Forces troops in Tripoli were told to stand down during the attack.
There were 2 waves of attacks on the Embassy and no one knew how long the attacks would last so the fact they couldn't get troops there within 7 hours is a moot point. Maybe they had a crystal ball.
There were up to 60 terrorists inside the embassy.
The FBI didn't show up until 18 days after the attack, yet the Administration didn't want to release their classified??? reports.
Hicks was told by the Libiya Govt. it was a terrorist attack on 11/12 yet the administration blamed it on a movie hating crowd, and sent Rice out to talk it up a week later.
The CIA original talking points on the attack were cleansed more then twice by the State Dept. before being released.
The fact that Pickering/Mullen wouldn't show up for todays hearing and didn't interview either Hicks or Clinton for their Accountability Review Report.
Yes, Clinton was on the top of her game.
