U.S. Military Sources Are Disputing White House Claims That All Efforts Are Being Used To Bring The Benghazi Attackers To Justice



Sources Challenge White House Claim Of All-Hands-On-Deck Pursuit Of Benghazi Suspects -- FOX News

U.S. military sources serving in North Africa are challenging the latest White House claim that the administration is applying "all the resources" at its disposal to bring the Benghazi attackers to justice, charging instead that the Obama administration knows who is responsible but is not acting.

"They have let it slip by because of politics, and now we've taken all the correlation we had and dropped the ball because of risk (aversion) -- and now the security in Libya is more fragile than ever," one U.S. special operator told Fox News. The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirms that U.S. forces have tracked the alleged attackers since October but have since lost the trail of some of them, as no one up the chain of command would authorize them to capture or kill the targeted militia members.

Update: Benghazi suspects: US officials identify 5 men, but don’t have evidence to bring to trial -- Washington Post/AP

My Comment: The Washington Post article reveals the dilemma that the White House now finds itself in. It wants to capture these terror suspects, but it does not have enough legal proof to convict these men in a court of law .... and they certainly have no interest or desire to capture these suspects and then dump them in Guantanamo. Hence .... these men are walking free (for now). As for the U.S. military leaking this information to the press .... it is clear from where I am standing that there is no love lost between the military and the White House.
