The evidence is overwhelming that the
United States had several rescue teams ready to go during the 2012
Benghazi attacks, but someone -- possibly the president himself --
prevented them from acting. So said Emmy Award-winning journalist Sharyl
Attkisson to talk show host Steve Malzberg in an interview on Wednesday.
This week on her show, "Full Measure," Attkisson looked into the aborted rescue mission in an in-depth two-part report, "Rescue Interrupted," which you can watch here and here. She spoke with a Green Beret commander who told her that there were actually Special Forces on their way to Benghazi who were turned back.
Col.
Andrew Wood had once commanded a Special Forces anti-terrorism team
protecting Ambassador Chis Stevens and other diplomats in Libya. In
October of 2012, Woods told Congress that one month before the attacks
in Benghazi, his team had been removed from Libya by the Obama
administration, despite the numerous warnings of impending terrorist
attacks. Wood told Attkisson that Special Forces (the ones mentioned in the "spinning up" email from Jeremy Bash) were on their way to Benghazi, but were ordered to turn back.
