Admission: Special Forces were only hours from Benghazi

JERUSALEM – In a bombshell admission that has until now gone unreported, Martin Dempsey, chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, conceded that highly trained Special Forces were stationed just a few hours away from Benghazi on the night of the attacks but were not told to deploy to Libya.

In comments that may warrant further investigation, Dempsey stated at a Senate hearing Wednesday that on the night of the Sept. 11, 2012, attack, command of the Special Forces – known as C-110, or the EUCOM CIF – was transferred from the military’s European command to AFRICOM, or the United States Africa Command.

We had an asset on site and it was a drone.


It was intentionally not armed. It was carrying, but never got the ENGAGE command.

My point is armed or not use it as a damn battering ram and slam it into the al quida position. armed or not it is an inertia bomb and it would have scattered them.

It most certainly would have scattered them. Even blasted them to allah if its payload was activated, since it was laser painted.

‘We didn’t have the assets to get there in time’

Only explicable by people who planned the kidnap; if it really was set off by some un-seen youtube video, they’d have had all the time they needed. If they wanted.

They can’t get around this. Ever. In any way. Doherty and Woods responded, sensing help was not forthcoming.

For at least thirty years, we havechad a rapid deployment force at Fort Bragg. It can be anywhere in the world in eighteen hours....making the contention that ‘nobody could get there in time’ laughable.
