Are you the real Chef Ramsey? If not, why do you hide behind someone else personality?
Cause it's a psuedo-anonymous avatar account that I chose after being a big fan of his cooking and shows. I doubt a big time millionaire like him would be hanging out on a message board of any kind unless it's his assistant doing the chatting.

Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi.

Do you have any idea how minor this issue is when you compare it to those thousands of other times that the CIA screwed the American people that we neglect in our books?

IMO this is nothing short of treason. Clinton knew of the attack early on and chose to not do anything about it. She even testified to congress that it doesn't matter what she knew and when she knew it.

US Security Team members claim

Word of the attack on the diplomatic compound reached the CIA annex just after 9:30 p.m. Within five minutes, the security team at the annex was geared up for battle, and ready to move to the compound, a mile away.

“Five minutes, we're ready,” said Paronto, a former Army Ranger. “It was thumbs up, thumbs up, we're ready to go.”

But the team was held back. According to the security operators, they were delayed from responding to the attack by the top CIA officer in Benghazi, whom they refer to only as “Bob.”

“It had probably been 15 minutes I think, and … I just said, ‘Hey, you know, we gotta-- we need to get over there, we're losing the initiative,’” said Tiegen. “And Bob just looks straight at me and said, ‘Stand down, you need to wait.’”

“We're starting to get calls from the State Department guys saying, ‘Hey, we're taking fire, we need you guys here, we need help,’” said Paronto.

After a delay of nearly 30 minutes, the security team headed to the besieged consulate without orders. They asked their CIA superiors to call for armed air support, which never came.

Now, looking back, the security team said they believed that if they had not been delayed for nearly half an hour, or if the air support had come, things might have turned out differently.

“Ambassador Stevens and Sean [Smith], yeah, they would still be alive, my gut is yes,” Paronto said. Tiegen concurred.

“I strongly believe if we'd left immediately, they'd still be alive today,” he added.

Now, the question is why. It's likely that Amb. Stevens could've been involved in the arms smuggling out of Libya at the time to Turkey or Jordan where the CIA was setting up training grounds to build up and organize the new ISIS. Speculations?
