Well, that will go over big with the Rats, but if she had imperfect information she should have examined it more fully as any Secretary of State must do.
She failed.
And she can’t deny THAT.
‘any Secretary of State must do.’
Let’s be honest here. Hillary took the SoS(how appropriate) job for the express purpose of burnishing her resume and travelling the globe on the taxpayers dime.
She had no interest in or cared about the daily grind of actually doing the tedious task of administering the State dept. All that paperwork that transited the assigned underling’s desk was beneath her considerable intellect and vast experience.
I hope she does run for the presidency. It would be sweet to drive the stake through that shriveled heart at the ballot box.
She knew within one hour of the start of the attack that it was Al Qaeda associated terrorists. While the attack was still going on, She and or Obama failed to use military resources that were available.
She and Obama lied and our people died.
We had F16s available at Aviano Air Force Base in Italy. The F16 has a combat radius of slightly over 800 nautical miles. Which means it can fly for 1600 miles before it is out of fuel. Bengazhi is 891 nautical miles from Aviano. This means that they could have been on target about an hour and a half after launch using a best range speed of about 550 knots.
An F16 could have flown from Aviano to Bengazhi and delivered ordinance on target. It would not have enough fuel to get back to Aviano but could easily made it back to Southern Italy or Sicily. The attacks lasted about 7 hours. An immediate response would not have saved our ambassador, but it would have saved those two Seals that rescued the individuals in the consulate and brought them back to the CIA annex.
Consider this scenario:
1. Within one hour our government i.e. Hillary, Obama, and the secretary of defense knew it was an Al Queda associated attack on our consulate, this is fact not supposition.
2. The President ordered support from Aviano.
3. One hour to arm and launch the F16s.
3.One and a half hours to get to target.
4.Ordinance delivered to target 3-1/2 hours from the beginning of the attack.
4. The attacks lasted 7 hours.
One must ask why they did not make the order for a cross border attack to save our guys? What the hell really happened in Washington DC that night?
