An Air Force squadron member who was stationed in Italy during the 2012 Benghazi attacks spoke out on Special Report, saying that more could have done to help the four Americans who died that night.
"I definitely believe that our aircraft could have taken off and got there in a timely manner, maybe three hours at the most, in order to...at least stop that second mortar attack and have those guys running for the hills, and basically save lives that day," he said, choosing not to reveal his identity.
The man said the military's excuse that that a refueling tanker wasn't available is invalid because American jets routinely refuel using a "hot pit maneuver," which allows jets to land and get fueled without shutting off the engines.
He says multiple occasions were available the night of the attack.
"As far as I'm concerned, we're the world's greatest air force. When we need something done and we need to save some American lives, we're gonna get it done. They just kept telling me 'We're waiting on a call, we're waiting on the call.'"

I heard a fairly amazing rumor about Benghazi recently:
everyone knows about the four deaths but I heard that the little-known fact is that a total of **18** of our guys died that night.
has anyone else heard this..?
oh...and NOBODY would have lazed a target without being certain the C-130 was overhead.
She has over 4 decades of lies, deceit, malfeasance in office, and criminality to explain.
The Kenyanesian Usurper made himself unavailable so he could not give cross border authority, so the call was never going to come to Italy.
At around 5 p.m. he met briefly with SecDef, was briefed of the attack and disappeared.
I haven’t heard this.
New Benghazi Witness: We Could Have Saved Lives That Day
An Air Force squadron member who was stationed in Italy during the 2012 Benghazi attacks spoke out on Special Report, saying that more could have done to help the four Americans who died that night.

Of course, but that would have exposed the administration’s weapons trafficking to Syrian rebels through Benghazi.

Yes, I read it somewhere about a week ago, don't recall where.
Yes
The problem is we have a bunch of not really Americans voting.
According to reports there was an UNARMED (so they say) Reaper flying around.
Practice makes Perfect.
I saw a reference one time but don’t recall if it was cia guys from the other depot or others that were trying to reinforce.I will try and find it.I don’t recall the specific number.
‘mendacious’
I usually call her a, ‘Fabian Socialist Harridan’ but I’m going to revise that to, ‘Mendacious Fabian Socialist Harridan.’
THANKS! :)
My other question is: HOW can our Government keep WITNESSES to a CRIME so silent for so long?
Oh, that’s right...corrupt from the top on down these days...
I can’t recall if it was locals guarding the compound or others.
There were a whole bunch injured. But do you think 18 people could have died without one family member turning it into the gravy train?
