[Seeing More Clearly Now]

The major U.S. naval air station of the Mediterranean, Sigonella, in Sicily, is very close by. Anyone who tries to claim help was far away is either grossly ignorant or hopes the listeners and readers are. All that command needed was the order “Yes, go.”

The major U.S. naval air station of the Mediterranean, Sigonella, in Sicily, is very close by. Anyone who tries to claim help was far away is either grossly ignorant or hopes the listeners and readers are. All that command needed was the order “Yes, go.”

Reportedly, a 50-man Spec Forces team had been flown in from Croatia. They were in their choppers, ready to go, rotors turning.

An F-18 squadron was standing by, ready to give them cover when they arrived.

Nobody said "Go".
