I just read that Panetta is saying there were no C-130s nearby but his words sound like weasel words to me.
I think he put it they were a continent away. Whey didn’t he say none within 2000 miles away? Sicily is a continent away since it is in Europe and Libya is in Africa.
Great catch on classic weasel-words: “A continent away.”
Morocco is a “continent away” from Spain, what 20 miles across at Gibraltar?
It’s further from Germany to Gibraltar than to Benghazi. The QRF couldn’t make it to Benghazi? What, union rules?
“We’re just the QRF for the exclusive use of Eurcom. You Africom boys find your own QRF.”
Bullshit.
