Right after the Benghazi attack, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama apparently had such supposed clarity of "intelligence information" that they were able to declare that the attack was both spontaneous and a result of a mob protest over an anti-Muhammad YouTube video. Now, just recently, we find out that CIA operatives on the ground in Benghazi asked for military assistance as the attack was developing. Instead of providing that assistance, it was denied and, further, they were told to stand down; meaning that they were not even allowed to go to the consulate, just a mile away, and help those under attack.
Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, is now defending that inaction by saying that they didn't have a "clear enough picture" (you know, intelligence) to allow troops to be sent in to help. So, apparently, they had enough immediate intelligence to blame the attack on the video but not enough to save our slain patriots; even though it is now known that they had a real-time video feed of the attack being streamed to the White House Situation Room. Everything here is contradictory and my intelligence says cover-up.
