initially the whitehouse put out a story supposedly explaining why the american embassy in benghazi, libya was attacked. it's a seriously stupid story, and considering the president signed off on it, you've really got to wonder about the iq in the oval office.
according to the spokesman, a video was posted on youtube that was insulting to islam. a protest ensued in front of the american embassy in this one town. not in tripoli, the capitol of libya, but in this secondary town. and nowhere else in the muslim world, just benghazi.
as more and more people gathered at the protest things began to get rowdy. pretty soon rocks were being thrown. things got out of hand. somehow a fire started. that was the official story.
while this protest was going on, before the fire started, the american ambassador was calling the CIA annex about a mile away and pleading for them to send help. he said there was heavy gunfire and they were being attacked. the station chief, to this day known only as bob, declined. there were american contract security men at the annex and they were ready to go within 5 minutes of the first call. they were ordered to stand down and denied their advice that they should go immediately.
after about 30 minutes, they overheard the ambassador telling the station chief that the whole building was on fire, they were in the safe room but smoke was coming in and if someone didn't get there right away they would be dead. bob refused, he was worried about blowing the cover of the annex.
the american security guys hearing the sit/rep said screw the order, we're going. all the while bob is yelling at them that he is in charge and he is ordering them to stay put. they don't give a shit about bob's orders at this point, they're in their trucks and on their way.
from several blocks away they can see that it's a conflagration, the embassy is engulfed in flames. they do the best they can to find the ambassador and his aid but the flames and the smoke make navigation inside the building impossible. they do find the aid but he's already dead. they were unable to locate the ambassador. all the while they're shooting it out with the "protestors" who are remarkably heavily armed with AKs and grenade launchers, considering this was a spontaneous event that started peacefully because of a youtube video. which by now you should be able to discern that the story is bullshit. this was a planned, coordinated attack.
when they get back to the annex they tell bob that the annex is going to be attacked next and to get everybody out and to the airport at a hundred miles an hour. wait till you hear what bob thinks is more important and wastes critical time doing.
