Classified United States military units are operating in the region near Libya since the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, according to the director of operations for the Pentagon’s Joint Staff.
The disclosure that secret U.S. military forces were dispatched to Libya recently was revealed in a letter sent Wednesday to the House Armed Services Committee by Vice Adm. Kurt Tidd, director of operations for the Pentagon’s Joint Staff.
Tidd said that after the attack in Benghazi, the U.S. European Command sent a Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team (FAST) platoon to reinforce security at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli.
“Additional classified capabilities were deployed to the region,” Tidd said, in what other defense officials said was a reference to the deployment of special operations commandos.

FAST...How about Forward Assistance Support Team. Never heard of the definition in the post.
Can’t be too secret because we now know about it. Who leaked it and why?
“Classified United States military units are operating in the region near Libya since the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi...”
While it’s appropriate that the FAST teams were deployed to protect the Tripoli embassy, it shows the stark contrast with the allowed security for the Benghazi consulate—there was none, except for the hired local Libyan guards. In my mind, this raises more questions about why the Benghazi site was left unprotected. The fact that there was no protection is unbelievable and NEEDS TO BE EXPLAINED!
We cry out, “Justice for the deaths of our ambassador and military heros.”
Stop Jihad Now!
".. SINCE the attack ... "
after the attack in Benghazi
FORMERLY SECRET...
If they're SECRET, why is the Pentagon telling us? Barry Benghazi's regime is now pretending to care, and hoping the public will buy their line of BS.
Too little; far too late. Tell that to the families of the slaughtered thanks to the Dictator in Chief and his sidekick Hitlery.
BAM!
So the planned fake kidnapping failed because a couple of Ex Navy Seals were not told about the plan so they did what they saw as their duty and were salughtered by the terrorists friends of little barry basstard commie drug-addled degenerate resident, then the conjured lie about a little viewed video didn’t work, even though the treacherous media repeated it on deamnd for days, and that didn’t fool enough people, so a lie that intel was broken, and that didn’t float with people paying attention to the actual facts surfacing, so this latest lie is now the OBama horse. These lying sons-a-bitches actually get away with these lies because the guillotine deserving media repeat them as they’re told to do. ... Guillotines from orbit, it’s the only way to get this infestation cleaned up!
Wow. Glad to hear there is a super secret special operations that probably is “Need to Know” and “Eyes Only” is currently engaged on the ground.
No one would ever think about this surprise and I’m sure they won’t be on the look out or even hunting this Super Secret Special Ops team.
Go USA.

Not secret anymore
BO's desperation shows
Probably armed with bean bags....
Scrub crew?
