The CIA sent eight brave men in to the breach from Tripoli on a chartered plane because no one in Washington would do a damned thing to save our people in Benghazi. Amazing...
There are so many things wrong with the timeline provided. Why did it take over three hours to get out of the airport in Benghazi? Where was Obama and Hillary who should have been on the phone with the Libyan President? Why didn't we demand that the Libyan government send forces over to the annex immediately after the attack on the mission compound? Why didn't we mobilize other assets nearby to provide support?
The fact that the WH didn't convene the interagency counter-terrorism task force boggles the mind. We had about 30 American lives at risk. If the host country was unwilling or incapable of protecting our personnel, the WH must protect our people. It is a total failure of leadership.
As I have indicated elsewhere, the timeline provided will set off a firestorm of criticism. By tomorrow, the Benghazi affair will be front and center despite the MSM stonewalling. Once the dam breaks, it will engulf all of them including Obama and Hillary.
If the host government was incapable of protecting our people, we should never have been there in the first place. Yes, we send our diplomats to dangerous places, but you don't send them on a suicide mission.
About the only justification they might have for inaction, would be to ensure the Tripoli embassy was adequately guarded in a broad based coordinated attack on all US embassies in the region,..in which case the Siganella resources would have been more intelligent or another AFRICOM assigned resource, instead of those from Tripoli.
IMHO, we are witnessing many stories released concurrently which support the Administration’s effort, despite the facts.
COVERUP.
They’ll spend 10x as many resources covering up what happened, than what they would have risked by simply performing their duty originally.
This will merely document they need 10X as many resources in the future for COVERUP ops than their legitimate duties.
