ORIGINAL: DaddySatyr One of the whistle-blowers (who became the defacto embassador, once that poor embassador was brutalized and murdered) is prepared to testify, under oath, that there were troops who could have come to their aid and the administration told them to stand down. That, for me, is the issue. I was listening to CSPAN last night on the way home from work, and they had a hearing on. One State Dept guy who'd been ipart of the response - maybe this guy? I didn't catch everyone's name/job - was saying that the State Dept actually flew in some Special Forces guys right away who were stationed elsewhere in Africa. But he said the military (not White House) overruled the State Dept and wouldn't let the soldiers deploy, so they stated in Tunisia while the State Dept civilian guys flew into Benghazi. Edit: Tripoli, not Tunisia.
