WTH...who declassified these docs...not ValJar.

Shortly afterward, Ham announced his retirement, further fueling speculation that he was pushed out.

Ya think!

But we are gay and proud of it! (That’s really what the book admits was Obama’s military priority was)

woefully ill-postured military force

Total BS!

“In my military judgement that attack aircraft would not be the appropriate response tool.”

So, Ham, what was the appropriate response tool that you sent out? Where the hell did he go to school where they didn’t teach him to use EVERYTHING in a fight?

If this is true, then he is guilty of dereliction of duty and should be brought back on Active Duty and placed before a court martial.

it continues to vex many congressional Armed Services Oversight members as to why the State Department did not request any Marines to be at the Embassy in Tripoli or at the temporary mission in Benghazi prior to the attack, suggesting a reluctance to have uniformed U.S. military on the ground in Libya before, during and after the attack.

This is the important point. It's bizarre - the Marines were forced to stop in Rota, Spain and change out of their uniforms into t-shirts, I guess so they wouldn't "offend" the Libyans when they came into to try to rescue our guys.

This is all part of Obama and Clinton's faux "normalization" policy, which is also connected to the ROE that got so many of our people killed: Just pretend their our friends, pretend nothing is going on, pretend, pretend, pretend. Obama makes me sick. And so does Hillary, who certainly should have known better.

From the Article ...
No Defense Department AC-130 gunships were within a 10-hour flight to Libya

The truth is they were less than four hours away but fighters were less than one hour away. Armed Drones were already overhead, within minutes, when the attack happened. Painting a target, our men knew there was armed aircraft overhead. Our Heroes Knew! It is time the lame-stream media grows up and acts their age.

The guys in Tripoli, apparently on their own, managed to get an airplane and go to Benghazi and land with no one shooting at the airplane.
This is such a bunch of f**king baloney. You are taught “Danger Close!” In the Army. You deal with the people that are most dangerous to you FIRST. S**theads killing a US Ambassador are “Danger Close!”. You focus everything, and I mean everything, on that and start the reinforcements to the areas that have given up assets. Ham is either too incompetent to be retiring as a general, or he is lying.

And the commander’s in-extremis force, which included a unit of 23 special operators who are used at the commander’s discretion, were training in Croatia that day.

This statement seals it for me. They had repeatedly stated that everyone and everything was placed on high alert for 9/11 ...

Had an alert recall been made at Aviano, I guarantee you that those F-16s would have been loaded, scrambled, refueled at Sigonella, and been overhead in four hours, max.

When Americans are in extremis, American military will spare no effort to come to their aid.
Providde they don’t have buffoon leadership stopping them.

Ham, Dempsey, Panetta, Obama will forever have those dead Americans on their souls.
