The United States had an unmanned Predator drone over its consulate in Benghazi during the attack that slaughtered four Americans — which should have led to a quicker military response, it was revealed yesterday.
“They stood, and they watched, and our people died,” former CIA commander Gary Berntsen told CBS News.
The network reported that the drone and other reconnaissance aircraft observed the final hours of the hours-long siege on Sept. 11 — obtaining information that should have spurred swift action.
But as Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three colleagues were killed by terrorists armed with AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenade launchers, Defense Department officials were too slow to send in the troops, Berntsen said.
“They made zero adjustments in this. You find a way to make this happen,” he fumed.
“They stood, and they watched, and our people died,” former CIA commander Gary Berntsen told CBS News.
Of course, if this comes up in the debate, we can be sure that Obama will claim that it’s not his fault the person watching the video didn’t get in touch with him. HE would have ordered a decisive response, just as he did with OBL. If he tries this ploy, let’s hope Romney’s prepared to nail him with the evidence it took Obama MANY months to actually pull the trigger on OBL.
