If the 6th fleet could "evacuate" Steven's in April 2011, why not in Sept 2012 ???

My opinion is that by September 2012, Benghazi by the sea was where Hillry and Co., were warehousing all Qaddafi's weaponry... And any stray bullet, fire power would have lit up the city of Benghazi by the sea. Estimates of 20,000 MANPADS..

Totally different era. Everything in 2012 was about purchasing and moving military hardware. The fewer people who know the inside story....the better off you are. Even today....it’s still not an admitted Obama-Hillary policy on the weapons being given to ISIS.

General Petraeus could answer the questions about the weapons transfer and shed light on Stevens’ rescue.

Obama and Clinton are two of the worst people ever to occupy high office in the US, and there’s nothing bad about them that I wouldn’t believe.

But the introduction of US forces into unplanned urban combat in a third world hellhole against forces of unknown size and unknown deployment is completely and entirely discretionary for the Commander in Chief. It’s not his duty, he’s under no obligation to do it.

Anyone who voted for “Obama” would have known he wouldn’t order a rescue. There are no Hillary supporters who will change their minds because of this.

For goodness sake! Carter couldn’t rescue the Iranian hostages with six months of planning and a much stronger military than we have now.

That’s why this is not an election issue. I always say “nobody cares”, but I really mean “nobody who is not already voting for Trump will switch over this issue”.

It’s finished, and has been for years.

Of course it is, but when the time came and the call for help came the order from Obama/Clinton was stand down because they didn’t want a messy blackhawk down scenario right before the election. They already had their Mohamed video explanation lined up and the rest is history. Why has Hillary not been asked why no order was given for extraction? with the context NO ONE COULD HAVE KNOWN HOW LONG THE ATTACK WOULD LAST. It becomes a great excuse after the fact but not while it was happening.

I thought there were special forces in Sicily or Italy. 90 minutes away

I think there was an admiral who got fired because he made moves to intervene. He was relieved of his command by his XO. It happened in an army unit, also. The military was ready to go. There were positive orders from the Sultan or his foreign minister to stand down. Both were relieved of their commands for disobedience to orders.
