Yes...we all get it...people attack the U.S. all the time because of the very SHIT that our federal govt. pulls worldwide (causing folks to hate us).
The DIFFERENCE was that the military wanted to go help the Embassy and were told NOT to. Then a lie was made up to go along with the Pres. narrative in the campaign that terrorism was on the run.
Do you not get that? To continue to keep posting up all the attacks that have ever happened against Americans has absolutely nothing to do with what is going on with this.

Robbie WHY do you keep repeating this total Bull Shit about a stand down? You are just parroting Fox News, repeating false information over and over then of course will tell us all how unbiased you are.
This "stand down" order has been debunked over and over.

But testimony from military leadership said otherwise. In his congressional testimony on February 7, 2013, former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said that after he informed the president about the attack in Benghazi, Obama "at that point directed both myself and General Dempsey to do everything we needed to do to try to protect lives there." The Associated Press reported that Panetta ordered Marine anti-terrorism teams in Europe to prepare to deploy to Libya, and ordered other special forces teams to prepare to deploy to a European staging base.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey similarly testified that the military "reacted quickly once notified of the attacks" and "deployed a Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team to Tripoli while a second team prepared to deploy."
But the units were unable to reach Libya until well after the attack ended due to time and distance constraints.
Peters' claim that there was a "stand down" order sent to American forces stationed in Tripoli during the attack has been debunked repeatedly, even by Fox News itself.

The former commander of a four-member Army Special Forces unit in Tripoli, Libya, denied Wednesday that he was told to stand down during last year's deadly assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi.
In a closed-door session with the House Armed Services Committee, Lt. Col. S.E. Gibson said his commanders told him to remain in the capital of Tripoli to defend Americans in the event of additional attacks and to help survivors being evacuated from Benghazi.
"Contrary to news reports, Gibson was not ordered to 'stand down' by higher command authorities in response to his understandable desire to lead a group of three other special forces soldiers to Benghazi," the Republican-led committee said in a summary of its classified briefing with military officials, including Gibson.

Your hate for Obama has blinded you to the point you don't look for actual facts rather you accept what ever Fox news tells you to accept. You are way off the deep in with this..even the Republican lead committee came to the conclusion there was no stand down, but hey never mind the facts Fox has number 1 time slot ratings!!!!
