Good point, but no proof of that.
It could also be just as it appears, which is incompetence that led directly to peoples deaths. To say I'm not impressed by the current management is an understatement.

They had no idea how long that would go on, or how much time they had to get there to maybe save even one person,
Unless they did know.........and THAT is what people need to see the dots connecting here.......
I think they did know, and I think its more nefarious then just not sending help........I think this was a good way to get rid of who was left that knew about the gun running once they were done with them......

Seriously....tell me Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton wasn't told of...or aware of the fact that terrorists were actually communicating on State Department cell phones DURING THE ATTACK.

I have to agree. Who would be dumb enough to "out" their terrorist leaders by using a cell phone from a State Department worker?
That's not very smart.
A question though: Why is this piece of the story significant? Perhaps I am missing it's importance.

Yes, it's very likely that she wasn't aware of it during the attack, and wasn't told until later, if at all.

So you're saying that while an ongoing terrorist attack was taking place at an American embassy, you actually believe that the Secretary Of State...:" wasn't aware of it (real-time intel) during the attack, and wasn't told until later, if at all".

I think, if this is even true, that the key word here might be DURING. And another key thing might be that and early THEORY (well known to most of us here, aren't they? theories?) about a film being a spark and their using cell phones during the attack aren't exactly mutually exclusive. Bombshell? Seriously? Stretch a little harder...good for the glutes if nothing else, molehill.
Shortly after the October 2011 death of Qaddafi, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced in Tripoli that the U.S. was committing $40 million to help Libya “secure and recover its weapons stockpiles.” Department of State Assistant Secretary Andrew Shapiro confirms DOS had a weapons buy-back program in Libya that was also supported by the UK who gave $1.5 million, the Netherlands gave $1.2 million, Germany gave about $1 million and our neighbor to the north, Canada gave $1.6 million to purchase the deadly arsenal that went missing after the fall of Qaddafi.
The State Department was specifically looking to acquire the 20,000 MANPADS (they are commonly known as man-portable air shoulder-fire missiles) that went missing once Qaddafi was killed.

1...the administration had ALWAYS said this was a terrorist attack, it was the motivation that was under question.
