every American armed responder that fateful night was TECHNICALLY a civilian —because only the CIA was responding. Why not the US military? Because while he was fully briefed with the technically hightest imaginable level of information of the unfolding events, he simply DID NOT ORDER IT.
Guys with guns DID show up, and to the ignorant civilian world it really does LOOK like there was at least SOME kind of military response. But that is WRONG —the military moved heaven and earth to APPROACH Libya as closely as they could but the Commander and Chief simply took NO FURTHER ACTION.
Formal military action would have had to cross a national border, and that authorization only could have come from the Prez.
Barry owns this lock, stock and barrel —Barry alone is responsible for those four deaths, and that night it’s likely that he was prepared for almost 40 deaths.
Many individuals and platforms were busy as heck preparing for a huge response, and Barry’s part would have involved simply saying a single word.
But even THAT was too much for him —I cannot imagine a person less appropriate for the office of President, and that includes Jimmy Carter.
Something else to think about. We are constantly sending armed drones into Pakistani air space and hitting targets with the Pakistan goverment protesting but we still do it. We sent a Seal team in with stealth aircraft so they would not be alerted and they protested but we still did it and this is a country with nuclear weapons. So what was so important we could not risk it in Libya with a questionable government?
