The much anticipated Benghazi Select Committee report <http://benghazi.house.gov/sites/republicans.benghazi.house.gov/files/documents/2%20Part%20I%20Redacted%20DR.pdf>released early Tuesday morning reveals former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta order military assets to be deployed to Benghazi, but they never arrived. Two unarmed drones, showing a live feed of the attack, did. Military assets sat for hours while Americans were under attack and while President Obama's team at the White House debated getting YouTube to take down a video offensive to Muslims, which was of course used as an excuse for the attack. "You can read this report in less time than our fellow Americans were under attack in Benghazi" Select Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy said during a press conference Tuesday. Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed eight hours into the attack. Doherty self-deployed with a small team to Benghazi from Tripoli after hearing about the attack. "Team Tripoli, which included military personnel based at the Tripoli Annex, acted with purpose, precision and ingenuity that night. The Secretary and the Joint Staff did not know those personnel were in Tripoli, much less were they considered as one of the potential assets to respond to the events in Benghazi," the report states. "In fact, they represent the only military 'asset' to reach Benghazi during the attacks. They deployed themselves because fellow Americans needed them." <http://benghazi.house.gov/sites/republicans.benghazi.house.gov/files/documents/2%20Part%20I%20Redacted%20DR.pdf> <http://benghazi.house.gov/sites/republicans.benghazi.house.gov/files/documents/2%20Part%20I%20Redacted%20DR.pdf> The question remaining is why the assets never made it. According to the report, President Obama said during the attack to "do everything possible to help our people." -- -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
