"And in those procedures, people like the Sec of State, the Pres of the US---within minutes---within minutes are told, We have an embassy under attack." - Col. Hunt

Isn't it just patently obvious to any thinking person, even without the slightest military experience, that this would be the case? Is it thinkable to anyone that our embassies could come under a major attack and the Pres. and all those other high level officials would not be notified immediately? Does anyone think we don't have good enough communications technology now to patch them all into every bit of electronic feed coming from that consulate?

Put down your GPS-wired, Google Earth-integrated, 4g internet-connected iPhone for a minute and think about that.

Hello? Is there anyone out there?
Is everyone in this country zombified now?
Beuller? Beuller?

To your post #41 & 42

"It really doesn’t make any difference how close or far away our assets are from a firefight if no one gives them an order to act."

Carr: This is like something out of a movie, where some non-com says, “Colonel, colonel, our men are getting slaughtered there.” And no one has any interest in following it up.

It seems like fiction; it doesn’t seem like it would happen in real life.

HUNT: It's happened a lot in my time, unfortunately. Like I said, we saw it in the Congo: we saw it in Bosnia. We've seen a lot of incidents where an organization will not act. It’s frozen, and this is the case.

And that sergeant you are talking about is actually a general. This is immediately communicated that this embassy is under attack violently, and generals are looking on their IPADS at the pictures, and that’s how good this stuff is. Those images are all over the place. And we knew this was bad, getting worse, and did nothing, and then lied about it for 8 days?

Tiger, tiger, tiger. All those super smart people at the New York Times were ready and willing to buy the first Obama excuse - about the film - and all the other ones too. You and I Tiger - and all the other freepers must be rocket scientists... or something... because the MSM still doesn't get it. And we do...
