A Ranger Raises Questions
American Thinker.com ^ | June 10, 2017 | Elise Cooper

Posted on 06/10/2017 8:46:30 AM PDT by Kaslin

In a recently published book, The Ranger Way, Kris “Tanto” Paronto provides readers with extensive insight into what was going through his mind as he fought for his life and the lives of those around him on September 11th, 2012, and also breaks down those experiences into the lessons learned.

Paronto’s résumé is very impressive. A former Army Ranger from 2nd Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment and a private security contractor he has been deployed throughout South America, Central America, the Middle East, and North Africa. Many might know him as a member of the CIA Annex Security Team that responded to the terrorist attack in Benghazi. Previously, he worked with the U.S. Government's Global Response Staff, the U.S. State Department High Threat Protection Program, and the Blackwater Security Consulting firm in high-threat environments around the world.

He looks at the intelligence leaks today, where the British have said they will no longer share intelligence information with the U.S. and the Israelis blames the American media for outing them as a source, and wonders why nothing was ever linked about Benghazi, about which questions still remain: what did President Obama and Hillary Clinton know and when, who gave the stand-down order, and why weren’t the readily available military units deployed? Kris told American Thinker, “I really thought someone within the Agency would step up and tell the truth. This is when I saw the dirty side of government, seeing a cover-up of lies that included President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Patrick Kennedy, and Charlene Lamb. They along with the CIA acting director, Mike Morell, were entrenched within the political machine. It was disheartening and very disappointing. But to emphasize, it was not the guys and gals on the ground.”

"...seeing a cover-up of lies that included President Obama, Hillary Clinton..."

I more than suspect that the reason for the invention of the Russian myth is to keep further exposure of Obama and the Clinton's from light of day. Obama is working hard to find reason to throw President Trump out of Obama's Oval Office. All orders come from the top, i.e, the Oval Office; Benghazi was no small event...American's should know what a community organizer really does...he tries to subvert/overthrow the government. History will not treat Obama kindly....Ms. C. is already experiencing that.

M Company 75th Rangers, the baddest badaszes of Redcatchers you’d ever want to come across. They were the prime LRPs of the 71st Infantry before becoming Rangers and were the early warning patrols of the ‘68 TET attacks for the Long Binh/Saigon sector.

Great questions that we still need answered.

I had the honor to hear him speak at a Memorial Day event this year. He had so much to say and so little time to say it. I could have listened to him all day. He pulls no punches as to who he holds responsible for that tragedy starting at the top.
