Flack who works for Fox News and had the luxury of weeks of thinking time and perfect 20/20 hindsight says what?

Seriously though, I am not going to second guess these peoples chain of command. If the seven man CIA annex team was told to hold there or “stand down” in regards to traveling to the consulate the person who gave the order must have at least thought he had a good reason. I can think of several possible reasons immediately, not splitting a small force, not leading the terrorists back to the annex, wanting time to further ascertain the situation at the consulate, simple inability to make a snap decision, who knows?

Everything at this point is pure speculation, and it is pointless to spend too much time making up possibilities in my head. Eventually when all the political posturing is done and the investigation completed a true account of what happened will come to light. Until then I simply try to keep up with the facts as they come out in dribs and drabs, I’m not going to cast blame on people who might not deserve it.
