More bad news for Fox News and the conservative media concerning a supposed scandal. Adm. Michael Mullen and Thomas Pickering blows their lies out of the water.
I don't think it's a question of the military response. It's a question of the handling of the situation after the attack. Also, possibly a question of why military assets weren't pre-staged in a region prior to what is an iconic day requiring a heightened state of alert. True, some military assets or responders were told to "stand down" during the event but I think you're right that it wasn't politically motivated. However, the preparation leading up to Sep-11 2012 seems insufficient and the response after the fact was almost certainly a political coverup.
