What Really Happened in Benghazi?

To review, the US Embassy in Benghazi was attacked by Jihadists. 4 Americans were killed, including the ambassador. The attack went on for 12 hours, but there was no military response or attempt to rescue. There is a new book, Dark Forces by Timmerman, that presents a new viewpoint.

Whenever something bad happens, say a terrorist attack on a US embassy, all sorts of machinery goes into motion automatically. None of these occurred in Benghazi. The thought was that O issued a stand-down order, as such a lack of response could only have come from the West Wing. This book says that this did not occur. Rather, O never gave the green light.

It seems that Hillary Clinton, then SecState, was the one who gave numerous stand-down orders, suppressing any sort of US response by intelligence forces, military, or whatever. She was also the one who invented the fiction that the terrorist attack was caused by a goofy YouTube video that no one saw.

OK, put yourself in O's shoes. There is a serious terrorist attack, and it is your big chance to come to the rescue and be hailed by the press as a hero. However, you have a doofus SecState issuing all manner of stand-down orders saying everything is alright and that things are under control. Under these circumstances, it is understandable that O never gave the green light. It also means that the other suspicion, that Valerie Jarrett was responsible, may not be true either.

This book may not be true, but it makes more sense than the current theories buzzing around like a fly in an empty room. There is certainly another shoe to drop in this puzzling case, and this book may or not be it. Nevertheless, it warrants your attention.
