BOMBSHELL: US troops in Benghazi would not have been painting targets on the ground unless there was air support overhead. But someone called it off – And the decision most likely came from the White House.
Then there’s this bombshell at BlackFive from a former Delta operator:
Having spent a good bit of time nursing a GLD (ground Laser Designator) in several garden spots around the world, something from the report jumped out at me.
One of the former SEALs was actively painting the target. That means that Specter WAS ON STATION! Probably an AC130U. A ground laser designator is not a briefing pointer laser. You do not “paint” a target until the weapons system/designator is synched; which means that the AC130 was on station.
Only two places could have called off the attack at that point; the WH situation command (based on POTUS direction) or AFRICOM commander based on information directly from the target area.
If the AC130 never left Sigonella (as Penetta says) that means that the Predator that was filming the whole thing was armed.
If that SEAL was actively “painting” a target; something was on station to engage! And the decision to stand down goes directly to POTUS!
This is HUGE. It should be obvious by now that someone is not telling the truth. As Blackfive says,
“This is bigger than Watergate!… The worst has to be the team on the ground knowing that the President just left you to die.“

Wow. HIGH treason....
Must be fun. Aiming a laser designator at the bad guys, waiting for help from the air... and nothing happens. There you sit... or kneel, or lie, aiming your little gizmo at all hell breaking loose, just like you were trained to... and zippo. Except they keep getting closer.
Someone’s got to pay for this, I swear.
This whole thing kind of makes the Harvey Weinstein/National Geographic Barry Lovefest that is going to be shown TWO DAYS before the election irrelevant. Doesn’t it?
Oh my God. This gets worse and worse. You know what? This seems above Obama’s pay grade all of a sudden.
exactly as one would imagine from this punk
Small cracks appear....then spread....then...........WOOSH.
“Specter” - I have seeen that word several times today but am not sure what it means.
Its not incompetence or an “inadvertent error”. WH either wanted Stevens gone or it was a botched fake kidnap scenario.
What we see is that American lives mean nothing to this impostor, if they stand in the way of his agenda they become bumps in the road to his Utopia.
Hillary and the intelligence community are avoiding the bus toss.
This is huge. Confirms the caller to Rush today.
This punk can’t make a decision. That’s a problem for a president. I hope Congress doesn’t drop this after the election. Where was Valarie Jarrett when this was going down?
Modified C-130 with massive firepower capability. Also called Spooky.
“The worst has to be the team on the ground knowing that the President just left you to die.“
The SEALs will NOT stand down until there is justice. obama has gotten too many of them killed. Many believe it was on purpose. Everyone knows obama has a personal grudge against the SEALS. Well, the feeling is mutual.
Everything, except lying, is above this clown's pay grade!
It refers to an AC130 gunship. It had the capability of wiping out all the attackers leaving little more than a smeared puddle where the once stood. Google videos of the AC130 in action in Iraq. There are plenty out there.

____
AC130u flying gun platform, lots of cannon (2) and mini guns, lots of ammo. Watched the really early models fire in NAM looked like the sky was on fire.
Spectre is the nickname of the AC-130H gunship armed with 2 20mm cannons, one 40mm Bofors cannon and one 105mm howitzer. The gunship flies a slow circular orbit over a target area raining death upon targets that can be designated with a laser designator system (GLD). Generally, troops on the ground only illuminate a target when there is a platform on station above that can put steel on target.
