**Posted by Phineas One of your embassies is under attack, your ambassador and other Americans are in grave danger, and forces you’ve sent to their aid are held up at the local airport in a turf dispute. So, what do you do? Do you pick up the phone and call the leader of the host [...]
**Posted by Phineas This is just outrageous. Four Americans died in Benghazi and the people held accountable for it in the official review whitewash, who supposedly were forced to resign, were instead just given a timeout: The four officials supposedly out of jobs because of their blunders in the run-up to the deadly Benghazi terror attack [...]
**Posted by Phineas One of the enduring mysteries of the Benghazi massacre is the lack of any serious attempt to render assistance to those trapped in the consulate and the CIA annex building. We know the resources were available at Sigonella Naval Air Station in Sicily, one to two hours away by air. We know [...]
**Posted by Phineas Well, there goes Obama and Biden’s insistence that they never knew our diplomatic mission in Libya was worried about security in Benghazi before the terrorist attack of September 11th: The U.S. Mission in Benghazi convened an “emergency meeting” less than a month before the assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three [...]
**Posted by Phineas In an earlier post, I quoted news reports that called into question the role General David Petraeus, the CIA director, regarding his analysis of the attack on our consulate in Benghazi. Since then, PJM’s Bryan Preston published information that speaks in Petraeus’ defense: A U.S. intelligence official disputed the characterization of Petraeus’ [...]

They went so far as to have our UN Ambassador, Susan Rice, proclaim this on all five [...]
That’s what you think, buddy (hat tip): President Obama again on Friday defended his administration’s handling of the attack that killed four Americans in Libya, and said he’s not holding back information ahead of Election Day. “The election has nothing to do with four brave Americans getting killed and us wanting to find out exactly [...]
**Posted by Phineas I’ve said before the intelligence community will not play the sap for Obama. And now The Weekly Standard reports (via JWF) that CIA Director Petraeus has thrown his boss under the bus: Breaking news on Benghazi: the CIA spokesman, presumably at the direction of CIA director David Petraeus, has put out this statement: “No one [...]
**Posted by Phineas If so, this makes an awful situation even worse. Bob Owens at PJMedia writes: There were two AC-130Us deployed to Libya in March as part of Operation Unified Protector. The AC-130U is a very effective third-generation fire-support aircraft, capable of continuous and extremely accurate fire onto multiple targets. It has been used numerous [...]
**Posted by Phineas Message from the Obama Administration to all overseas personnel: If you get into a jam, the cavalry isn’t coming: Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. Consulate and subsequent [...]
