David Petraeus, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, and Leon Panetta, Defense Secretary, evidently have forgotten the commitment that runs through the United States military system: never leave anyone behind. The two bumbling Obama appointees allegedly rejected repeated requests for CIA and Delta Force help during the attack on the Benghazi consulate by terrorist forces.
Fox News has learned, from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi, that an urgent request went out from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. consulate and the subsequent attack several hours later on the annex itself. Both requests apparently were denied. The CIA Director twice told the CIA operators to stand down rather than help the Ambassador’s team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 pm in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.
Former Navy SEAL, Tyrone Woods and at least two other CIA agents, ignored those disgraceful orders and made their way to the consulate, which at that point was on fire. Shots were exchanged. The rescue team from the CIA annex evacuated those who remained and radioed once again for military back-up support. This request also was denied.
The fighting at the CIA annex went on for more than four hours – enough time for planes based at Sigonella Air Base, just 480 miles distant, to arrive. Those planes were not dispatched. Fox News has also learned that two separate Tier One Special Operations forces were ordered to wait, among them Delta Force operatives.
If these allegations hold up, whether or not President Obama wins the November elections, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and CIA Director David Petraeus should be fired for cause. America does not desert its operatives when they come under fire. That is known as cowardice, and would have been rewarded by firing squad executions in better times.
P.S. I strongly recommend readers to read the comment by Commander Robin Petersen, USN. There is something badly wrong in the state of Denmark!

Dear Sir;
Yes I agree with you. I also believe Hillary Clinton should be fired as well. She did nothing to help us Veterans who had our U.S. Passports taken from us and who were held against our will in Saudi Arabia. When I finally got out of Saudi Arabia, (six months after being held against my will) I vowed to bring the issues of “Passport Confiscation,” “False Imprisonment” and “Human Trafficking” to the attention of Federal Agencies and to Members of Congress. Senator Kyl of Arizona did contact the DOJ on my behalf for which I am grateful, but the DOJ claimed that they had no jurisdiction in the matter and recommended that I contact Department of Homeland Security (DHS) instead. I did so, (three times) but received no response from them. I have been met with nothing but the proverbial run-a-rounds from an administration that has failed to protect American Citizens overseas. Although the FBI, DOJ, DHS, and the State Department were all contacted, they have all tried to “Pass the Buck.” It is no wonder that the incident in Benghazi happened and that four of our American Citizens died needlessly. This administration’s failure to protect American throughout the world amounts to incompetence, gross negligence and dereliction of duty. Yes, they should all be fired. Please feel free to include this attachment and e-mail in your blog. Best Regards,//Signed//Robin PetersenCommander, USN (Ret.)Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2012 13:33:50 +0000

From what ive read Panetta had the final call and waffled. People died. Petraeus probably isnt responsible because he no longer is part of the military and really just controls cia assets (under Hillarys State Dept). He did not control the airbase at sigonella. Panetta did (with Obama over him)
