For any fair minded person, this puts the conspiracy talk to bed.

(CNN) -- The Pentagon released Friday an hour-by-hour timeline of the September 11 assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, highlighting when Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and senior commanders were informed of the attack and when decisions were made to move forces to assist. The release comes as the Obama administration is facing increasing questions over its response to the attack.

Yeah, the "official line". The government would never lie to us? We need the investigation, an independent investigation. I'm not taking the government's word for anything. Especially something like this.

You're a fool if you do, KarlMarxRoxny. An utter fool.

Nice deflection, WPF. Why don't you google something that sounds intelligent, then post it here like you wrote it.

The fact is that there is a lot of smoke here, I'm expecting the fire to break out soon. Obama's in trouble for being corrupt and dishonest, not Hawaiian.

heres one I posted over a week ago that was published on Oct 26 ...

http://factcheck.org/2012/10/benghazi-timeline/


nobody has ever questioned the Libyan Guard who was on duty and watching the compound ... such a violent attack, people dead, and theres not a report of a Libyan soldier with even so much as a scratch?

the CIA guards were at the annex armed with small arms only, and its on record they requested Lybian Guard backup with heavier firepower ... the CIA team waited 25 minutes and not one single son of a bitch showed up with so much as a firecracker so they went in alone and poorly equiped for a firefight against AK 47's ..

and not one of you chickenshit sob's even noticed?

go piss up a rope

I NEVER said their shouldn't be an independent investigation, but if you put down the fucking Obama hate and look at this objectively, it's clear that by the time the administration knew what was going on and able to mobilize anything, it was too late.

Mistakes were made, people died. It needs to be looked at and changes need to be made so it never happens again. But there was no fucking grand conspiracy or coverup.

And if you believe there is, it's just out of your blind hatred, utter hatred.

There is an ongoing investigation to see how truthful it is. Don't get your panties in a wad, the truth will come out...even if you may not care to hear it. So far you've shown no inclination to.
