That timeline is one that CNN posted in January. Obviously there's no information about being denied authorization, since that information just came to light.
You were making a big deal about them being denied authorization "PRIOR TO THE ATTACK", but that's not what Gregory said. He said they were denied authorization prior to the SECOND ATTACK.
Big difference there. It was, at that point, an ongoing assault and it should have been obvious that assistance was needed. So why was it denied? More importantly, if they had been allowed to go in, could the second attack have been prevented? Could the deaths of Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty have been prevented?
