I think his handlers threw out the scenario of Somalia and ‘Black Hawk Down’ and Obama & his minions turned their backs on Benghazi to avoid a possible rerun.
In Somalia, we were supposed to be there for humanitarian reason.
But we turned the mission into a manhunt for a warlord.
In Somalia, we had access to heavy weapons, but chose not to use them, because they were politically risky.
In Somalia, men died because they were sent on a mission that was inadequately equipped and inadequately supported.
Obama may have been trying to prevent a repeat of Mogadishu, but his efforts to avoid that are pretty much exactly what led to a repeat of Mogadishu.
We wanted Libya liberated from Ghadaffy -- but then we stuck around and started a gun-running operation to jihadist terrorists. Okay, now we're on the wrong mission.
We could have sent in strong support to Benghazi, but decided not to escalate the situation, because it might have political repercussions.
Hasn't worked out for the Kenyan.
