How Many Lies....

Obama ordered that the Defense Department respond to the attack with "all available DOD assets" and try to protect U.S. personnel, Panetta said.

But orders to prepare had been given, the defense secretary testified.

Panetta said a Marine security team platoon stationed in Spain was ordered to prepare for deployment while another platoon prepped to head to the embassy in Tripoli. A Special Operations force, then training in Central Europe, was told to prepare to deploy to a staging base in Southern Europe, and another Special Ops force, based in the United States, was told to prepare to move there, too.

"Some have asked why other types of armed aircraft were not dispatched to Benghazi," he said. Armed drones, AC-130 gunships or fixed-wing fighters with the associated tanking, armaments, targeting and support capabilities were not near Libya, and it would have taken at least nine hours to deploy, he said.

"This was, pure and simple, in the absence, as I said -- of any kind of advance warning -- a problem of distance and time," Panetta said.

The quickest response option available was a Tripoli-based security team, he said.

Within hours, Panetta said, that six-person team, including two U.S. military personnel, chartered a plane and flew to Benghazi.

If all these options of military action were being discussed, then why did the Obama administration publicly announced this was a demonstration over a video based on the information they were given at the time? Had Mrs. Rice made an error, and this attack involved military options, don't you think this administration would have PULLED this talk of a demonstration after day one? Yet how long did this administration stand by their video demonstration riot? A terrorist attack on a United States embassy invoking the discussion of military action, is VERY different from a mob demonstration over a video. Which "intelligence at the time" response does this administration want to admit and stick to with regard to Benghazi?
