HERE'S MY GUESS AS TO WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE WAS UP TO DURING THE SIEGE AT BENGHAZI

REMEMBER: THE ATTACK TOOK MANY HOURS.

REMEMBER: OBAMA AND HILLARY AND PANETTA WERE OFFERED MILITARY COUNTER-MEASURES AND DECLINED THEM.

SO HERE'S WHAT I THINK THE WHITE HOUSE WAS REALLY UP TO DURING THOSE SEVERAL HOURS:

OBAMA AND HILLARY AND PANETTA WERE EFFORTING TO HAVE "THEIR FRIENDS" IN LIBYA AND EGYPT AND TURKEY INTERVENE DIPLOMATICALLY AND SEE IF THEY COULD APPEASE THE ATTACKERS AND GET THEM TO RETREAT.

IOW:  THE SCANDAL ISN'T JUST WHAT OBAMA FAILED TO DO - AND COVERING UP WHAT THE AMBASSADOR WAS REALLY DOING THERE; IT'S WHAT OBAMA CHOSE TO DO INSTEAD OF CPUNTER-ATTACKING.

I THINK THE HOUSE WILL FIND OUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AND WHY.

SO STAY TUNED...
