Over the weekend, Fox News interviewed the authors of a new book, 13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi, written by security contractors at the CIA annex compound in Benghazi, that contained fresh perspective on CIA delays in Benghazi that left the consulate unprotected during the attacks.
A previous Senate Select Committee report found that “there was no formal written agreement about how security should be handled between the {State Department and CIA facilities} in Benghazi” which could have led to delays and confusion. Such formal agreements are under the purview of the Secretary of State per U.S. code.
The top 3 takeaways from the Fox interview:
1. CIA contractors understood that the diplomatic facility in Benghazi was insecure and bluntly told the mission that a terrorist attack would be deadly.
2. During the attack, the CIA contractors were repeatedly told to stand down and not rush to the diplomatic facility and defend Ambassador Stevens and the rest at the facility.
3. The contractors believe that had they not been told to stand down, Ambassador Stevens and Sean Smith would be alive today.
Mark Udall – he who votes with President Obama 99% of the time and enjoys time with him on the golf course – tried to sell Colorado voters this bill of goods in Saturday night’s kickoff Club 20 debate in Grand Junction.
“Let me tell you, the White House when they look down the front lawn the last person they want to see coming is me. {LAUGHTER}”
Former Senator Udall and President Obama will have an awkward laugh about this on the first tee next year.

Appearing out on the campaign trail, House Democrat Whip Steny Hoyer said that parents shouldn’t always push for their kids to attend college. The Quad-City Times reports that Hoyer said that college isn’t the only path to success:
“One of the country’s top Democrats was in the Quad-Cities on Wednesday…saying parents shouldn’t be so single-minded about pushing their children to go to college.”
Instead of praising the value of a college education in tough economic times, Democrats are now promoting alternatives and telling parents that their dreams and aspirations for their children are too high.
