#1 In a statement to Fox News, a senior intelligence official did allow that the security team was delayed from responding while the CIA’s top officer in Benghazi tried to rally local support.

Rubbish! Of course "local support" was not part of the contingency response or Quick Reaction Force (QRF) go-to-hell plan once contact began. Those fok's [local militia] had already screwed the pooch. No sane person would have recommended waiting on locals to locate and free an AMBO, unless of course.... told to do so by 'Main' or someone at Foggy Bottom.

Imagine if you will a Chief of Post/Station saying....... yea, I thought we'd sit back on monitor developments, let the local militia have a go at it.

No need for contractors to step in? No need for 'Tier One SOF' who were already saddled up and only a few hours away? Total bullshi*.
