I have never understood why Patraeus and Panetta switched roles.
Presidents who tangle with CIA pay a price - (and I include JFK in that)
Patraeus may be going along with the story but career CIA are not going to go down without a fight.
Obama is toast.
As for why they didn’t send in military - perhaps its because of all the missing surface to air missiles.
Imagine the hell that would reign down here if military got shot down in the midst of a rescue.

According to Congressional committee minutes, there are 10,ooo-20,000 Shoulder fired rockets misssing .
Elsewhere , I have heard that the real number may be 20,000 - 40,000 missing shoulder fired rockets.
Did we supply the rebel groups ?
If so , how many of what did we supply ? How many ?
And to which groups did we supply .. and expect those unfired rockets to show up ? ( Syria ?)
Now we know why Syria is essentially a “ground-pounding” war with artillary rather than air attacks where Aasad has clear air superiority .
