This, if true, really should bring down a Presidency in a fair world. There is NO excuse for any Commander-in-Chief to leave our people behind. We don't do that:

Buried in their report (down in paragraph eight)
CBS reported, “Throughout
the night, sources say Americans on the ground in Libya at times felt helpless
and abandoned… But they were told immediate help wasn’t available.” But, counterterrorism sources and internal emails
reviewed by CBS News express frustration that key responders were ready to deploy, but were
not called upon to help.
Throughout the night, sources say
Americans on the ground in Libya at times felt helpless and abandoned.
“We relied on Washington for dispassionate
assessment,” one eyewitness told CBS News. “Instead, they [Washington
officials] were asking us what help we needed. We answered: ‘Send
reinforcements!’ ”
But they were told immediate help
wasn’t available.
Embassy personnel say they repeatedly asked the
Defense Attache on site in Tripoli for military assistance.
“Isn’t there anything available?”
one Embassy official says he asked. “But the answer was ‘no.’”
“What about Aviano?” the official pressed,
referencing the NATO air base with US assets in northeastern Italy. “No,” was
the answer.
Two of the four Americans killed that night died
hours after the first attack began…
…Counterterrorism sources and
internal emails reviewed by CBS News express frustration that key responders
were ready to deploy, but were not called upon to help in the attack. National Security
Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor told CBS News the CSG was not needed.
And, Obama went to bed.
D-E-V-A-S-T-A-T-I-N-G.
As Michael Walsh of the NY Post opined, 'And hell is what is coming, one way or the other, because this time — unlike the Clinton impeachment — the big dogs are in play, in the form of a hordes of very pissed-off special ops agents, patriotic spooks, forcibly retired generals and clandestine operatives who know where the bodies are buried. If the Obama administration turned its back on Chris Stevens and the three other brave Americans who died that day for crass political purposes — and, worse, if it let them die as collateral damage in its own gunrunning operation to Syria — the men and women who stand watch for this country all through the night are going to come out of the shadows, quickly.
Damn right. One should know better than to fuck with the spooks.

I agree but unfortunately we don't live in that world. Damn sham too.
Chris Stephens was beaten, raped by a taunting crowd, drug thru the city, maybe dead, maybe still alive, for their bemusement. His death was relatively quick. It took 7 hours for the others, fighting for their lives, to die. All the time, waiting, begging and finally realizing that their government had forsaken them.
Meanwhile, Barry slept, dreaming of his Vegas party with 2 equally vacuous Nubians.
And democrats say this is a political witch hunt...soulless, reptilian bastards.
