Fox News played an account provided by an Aviano based Air Force Pilot about his squadron’s actions on the night of Sept. 11, 2012. He told Fox News a team was ready to fly that night and protect Americans under fire at Benghazi. The Squadron members had been briefed, their planes prepped and armed. They were prepared to fly hundreds of miles to aid Americans under attack.
“The whole night we were told that we are waiting on a call”
The fighters were ready to go once the order was given. It never happened. "I definitely believe that our aircraft could have taken off and gotten there in a timely manner, maybe three hours at the most, in order to at least stop that second mortar attack … and basically save lives that day." Military professionals are trained to fight and win. It’s their job. To save the lives of Americans and allies is a matter of honor. Politicians have no honor; not even those who claim to be vets.
Matter of time
The pilot knew his squadron could reach Benghazi within three hours, stop the second attack and save American lives. They were waiting for a call that never came. The warriors didn’t know what was in Benghazi till they got home and saw it on the news. It hurt the morale of morale of squadron members who were ready to fight but were held back because of political concerns of rear echelon lawyers inside the White House.

Benghazi’s Smoking Gun? Only President Can Give ‘Cross-Border Authority’
“...the cries for help from the brave civilians and soldiers of Benghazi were many and urgent throughout the hours of attack. But the response was ... silence. ”

Yes we could have supported our people. This traitorous administration wanted the aambassador dead.
And at least as disgusting is that about 1/2 the country would vote for Clinton for POTUS and that both Obama and Clinton are free and not in prison.
Hope you are reminded daily of the Warriors you Abandoned, Hillary.
I think it’s interesting that the Defense Department called the State Department and told them “We’re ready to go.”
To me, that shows that the Defense Department had already told that to the President. Their first call wouldn’t have been to the State Department.
He must have told the Defense Department that the State Department was telling him to wait.
The Defense Department then called the State Department to be sure they knew the military was ready to go and to prod them to tell the President to OK the operation.
The easiest thing in the world for Hillary Clinton to do at that time was to say, “Yes, go!” It would have taken all the responsibility off of her.
But, as far as I can see.....she just dithered.
I think that was her purpose.....slow or stop any American response.
Of all the multitudes of high crimes and misdemeanors committed by the traitors in D.C. - this may be the most despicable...
The fact that Obama has not been removed from Office, coupled with the fact that HRC remains in position for a possible Presidential nomination is all we need to know - the time for revolution is upon us !
Why did they refuse to send help? Did they want the witnesses to what they were doing gone? That doesn’t totally make sense because without the attack those in Benghazi could have told what they had seen anyway...although seems the CIA people were unlikely to talk about it.
Were they afraid this was going to grow to something bigger and didn’t want a war before Obama’s re-coronation?
They went to great lengths to protray this as not the fault of the terrorists.
This call came at 3 in the afternoon.
And they STILL they couldn’t answer it.
It’s really hard to verify motives.
I think that motives are key to understanding what happened at Benghazi.
Motives can be rational or emotional and usually a combination of both.
We know for a fact that the Obama Administration lied to us about Benghazi. We were not attacked because of a movie and a military response was possible.
So what is the motive for them to lie to us? To protect the military? Obama doesn’t care about the military.
A rational examination of Obama’s past behavior shows that the lies were to protect himself.
The question now is,
“To protect himself from what?”
Anybody who votes for Hillery is either brain dead or has a negative IQ...........
Those other 40. Where are the?. Why did they not speak up? If Obama put my life in danger I’d be shooting off my mouth publicly. Afraid of losing their job? They almost lost their lives!
Yep. Sure looks like a burn order to me. They didn't want any witnesses left. In the end it comes down to money being exchanged for arms, sowing discontent among the natives, or setting up a new power regime in situations like this with a need to cover it up.
They were all threatened to keep quiet and not say anything. This was reported soon after the attack.
That makes them cowards.
Bttt.

Giving stingers to the jihadi’s maybe?
