Thanks for the heads-up. We can only hope Hillary was not party to a "break-in" (cackle).

================================================

Hillary's cover story is leaking like a sieve----but covering-up her incompetence is as difficult as covering-up her rear.

We already know that the U.S. military was fully capable of responding to the Benghazi Consulate attacks within 3 – 4 hours.

Admiral Lyons – who commanded the Pacific Fleet and has extensive professional, direct knowledge of U.S. military capabilities – explains in detail what capabilities we had in the region and why F-16’s from Italy could have been buzzing the compound and strafing the attackers with machine gun fire within 4 hours or less....... the U.S. military could probably have saved the last two Americans to die in the attacks.....

==============================================

MILITARY.COM reported (during the post-Morsi ousting in Egypt), that US Pentagon officials declined to give specifics on conversations between DOD's Chuck Hagel and brilliant tactician Egyptian Gen al-Sisi (now Egypt's president).

(NOTE Gen al Sisi, 58, received a masters degree from the U.S. War College in Carlisle, Pa, in 2006. The General is revered by Egyptians for routing the Muslim Brotherhood which Egyptians consider a terrorist organization.)

Although officials would not discuss the specifics of the military-to-military talks, the US would have needed Gen al-Sisi's approval to move through Egyptian air space if Washington decided to send Marines to aid in the evacuation of U.S. personnel in the post-Morsi chaos.

READY TO ROLL About 550 Marines and their tilt-rotor MV-22 Osprey aircraft are at bases in Spain and Italy on standby if they are needed. A Navy Amphibious Ready Group with 4,000 Marines and sailors aboard, led by the helicopter assault ship Kearsarge, was also in the region following completion of the Eager Lion training exercises in Jordan.

=====================================

AIN'T KARMA A *ITCH, HILLARY? the US helicopter assault ship Kearsarge, WAS in the region, ready to airlift Benghazi personnel to safety. If Hillary did not know the Kearsage was ready to roll, she's as incompetent as the rest of them..... her all-girl State Dept and the venal Obama admin.

Fact is, Americans were lied to----we were told men and materiel were not available to help endangered Americans in Benghazi.
