"Retired Brig. Gen. Robert Lovell told the House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform that U.S. forces "should have tried" to get to the embassy in time to help save the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans who were killed by militants in twin attacks the night of Sept. 11, 2012. He said the State Department should have made stronger requests for action.
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf countered: "The notion that the State Department did not do everything possible to protect our people that night is as offensive as it is wrong."
"The truth is that multiple assets were deployed to Benghazi that night," she said. Harf listed a six-man team from the CIA outpost a mile away, a Predator drone that provided real-time images of the attack, a seven-person security team from Tripoli and one Marine rapid-response platoon. Some of those did not arrive until after the attack was over."
My question: Where's Hillary gonna hide once the predator drone shots go public?

A few hours later, the powerful chairman of the Armed Services panel, Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., challenged the testimony of Lovell, who was in U.S. Africa Command's headquarters in Germany monitoring the attack.
The general "did not serve in a capacity that gave him reliable insight into operational options available to commanders during the attack, nor did he offer specific courses of action not taken," McKeon said.
How can that possibly be true? Is our military that incompetent?
