Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that three urgent requests from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. Consulate and subsequent attack nearly seven hours later were denied by officials in the CIA chain of command — who also told the CIA operators 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.
So far, this fits perfectly into the Noise Machine's smear campaign BUT ABC's Jake Tapper learns of a little problem with the wingnut narrative:
CIA spox: "No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ”

What to do now? Well, it's obvious that Gen. Petraeus threw Pres. Obama under the bus, at least if you are Bill "The Bloody" Kristol.

I don't have any problem with someone who says Obama AND Bush
are/were always wrong on foreign policy. Here we see the fruits of Bush's Iraq War and Obama-Hillary's attack on Syria combined
(as a few of the commentors understand.)
I pretty much think it's a good thing that Sunnis and Shia are fighting each other,
I pretty much believe that's Islamophobic racism, Steve and also that it reflects Israel's entire attitude, (and divide and neutralize policy) besides being non-progressive and un-liberal.
You should have favored the Iraq war then, which resulted in the same big time, as planned by the dual loyalists like Perle.
The comment also hints why Arabs and Muslims-and Europeans-- of both right and left are going to have considerable glee when the US finally starts to have significant ethnic and class conflict--the awareness that not only conservative rubes, but even most American left-progressives are imbued with an attitude of unmerited imperial supremacism.
This is a theme frequently referred to by the more authentic leftist commentors on Moon of Alabama and Ian Welsh by the way.
