Diplomat: U.S. Special Forces told “you can’t go” to Benghazi during attacks – CBS News.
The deputy of slain U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens has told congressional investigators that a team of Special Forces prepared to fly from Tripoli to Benghazi during the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks was forbidden from doing so by U.S. Special Operations Command South Africa.
The account from Gregory Hicks is in stark contrast to assertions from the Obama administration, which insisted that nobody was ever told to stand down and that all available resources were utilized. Hicks gave private testimony to congressional investigators last month in advance of his upcoming appearance at a congressional hearing Wednesday.
As an added bonus, this didn’t come from Faux news or a conservative news outlet so perhaps Progressives will pay it some heed. Perhaps.
CBS news reporter, Sharyl Attkisson has been out in front on the Benghazi story, without the assistance of her fellow beltway journalists. Kudo’s to Sharyl.
