At Airliner speed it is 1 hour 14 minutes from Sig to Benghazi. AC-130 would be longer, a Fighter much less. Assuming there was a Ready alert , the could be up in less than an hour. Add the time ans we could have helped.
Whatever happened to the story of an ADM and a Gen being relieved for attempting to help? Some body ordered all these stand down, who?
You are absolutely correct! If congress really wanted to find the facts they would've asked this question, but I don't think they want the truth, besides neither they, nor any of their staff underlings are smart enough to recall these facts.
“these were actually two short duration attacks that occurred some six hours apart,”
So,,,, THE A_HOLES HAD 6 HOURS TO GET HELP THERE.
