Mychal Massie: "Why Did The Obama Administration Allow Ambassador Chris Stevens & His Staffers To Die In Libya?"

The conservative Republican commentator slams the Obama administration for its handling of the Benghazi attack: "We don’t need the president to tell people to stay indoors, stock up on bottled water, make sure we have plenty of batteries and canned food on hand, and to follow the instructions of emergency workers. That’s the job of the mayors and governors of the states in the path of Superstorm Sandy. What we need from Obama we will never get. We need him to tell us why he allowed Libyan Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty to die."

He continues his commentary about the Benghazi attack: " The British had removed their consulate people, and Stevens had been requesting help in the face of deteriorating conditions – but still Obama and Clinton chose to keep Stevens there in a worsening situation that was certain to (and in fact did) lead to death. Woods, Smith and Doherty were told to stand down when they requested help. They were ordered no less than three times to stand down when they indicated their intentions pursuant to getting Stevens and themselves out alive. Why? Woods and Doherty were former SEALs; they weren’t shout-and-shoot weekend warriors."

More commentary from Mr. Massie: "If Stevens wasn’t placed in a situation to die, then why wasn’t he pulled out when the British pulled their people? Why did Obama and Clinton ignore warnings issued by Israel and the Libyan interim president? Why were the personal requests by Stevens, pleading for help, ignored? Since when does the official representative of the president of the United States drive around in a hot zone in what amounts to the same SUV you and I drive? Why wasn’t he in a secure vehicle and accompanied by Marines?"
