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.'"

You know I have heard that explanation before and as I read it again it makes perfect sense.It's typical of ops the regime would create.They are a criminal mob based in Chicago and each and ever major op they do has tentacles that reach all over. There is never just one objective to an op always many. Whether its open borders,aiding ISIS, killing Fuddy, Granny,Qdaffi or any of the devastating ops they have perpetrated on a once great country. Always many objectives to the op.
Other posts and yours have now explained why locals were guarding instead of marines?
I’m starting to get it now.
Is this what you are talking about?

NEW YORK – Did the Obama administration plan to allow a U.S. ambassador to be kidnapped to set up a prisoner-exchange scenario that would provide a pretext for releasing the “Blind Sheik” imprisoned for plotting the 1993 World Trade Center bombing?
That’s one of the provocative explanations for the administration’s puzzling actions before, during and after the Benghazi attack that has prompted an investigation by the Washington, D.C.-watchdog Judicial Watch.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton told WND Tuesday his group is preparing to take legal steps to force government disclosure of documents pertaining to plans the Obama administration had to release “Blind Sheik” Omar Abdel-Rahman, who is serving a life sentence at the Butner Federal Correction Institution in North Carolina.
“Given what we know now, it is not out of the realm of possibility that the terrorist attack on Benghazi could have been a kidnapping attempt aimed at releasing the Blind Sheik,” Fitton said.
He noted, however, there is “no evidence” that the Obama administration may have been complicit in any kidnapping plot related to the Benghazi attack.

Using the theory that there are always multiple angles to any regime op could Morsi and the MB be part of it as well?
“To this day, we still have no reliable evidence about exactly how Ambassador Stevens died,” Fitton said. “The fact that there was intelligence that he was alive suggests that the State Department was right to be worried about a kidnapping attempt. We all should be curious to know if there was other information that had the State Department on the alert for possible kidnappings by al-Qaida.”
Since shortly after the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack in Benghazi in which U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed, James “Ace” Lyons — a former four-star admiral who served as the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet and a founding member of the Citizens’ Commission on Benghazi — has proposed that the attack was an Obama administration-orchestrated kidnapping attempt that went “terribly wrong.”
He continues to speculate that the Obama administration wanted to give the al-Qaida-affiliated rebels operating in conjunction with the Libyan Muslim Brotherhood an opportunity to kidnap Stevens and exchange him for the Blind Sheik. The purpose of the plan, Lyons says, may have been to furnish the Obama administration with a pretext to justify to the American public the release of the Blind Sheik to then-Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, complying with a request Morsi made in his 2012 acceptance speech on becoming president of Egypt.”

If you were to add up all the security requests including the weeks or months before the attack the number is closer to 600 from what I have read.
Kidnapping Stevens does make perfect sense for denying any security increases.
She has over 4 decades of lies, deceit, malfeasance in office, and criminality to explain.
Practice makes Perfect.
Practice makes permanent patterns of performance.
After watching “13 Hours” and seeing what these defenders had to put up with, I am amazed that only 4 people on our side died.
And for what it is worth, I would have shot the Benghazi hired guns who guarded the compounds...as worthless as Obama.
Is that a safe site? I got a pop up msg with a chick warning me to call some random number asap! What gives?
I got the same thing with bells and whistles going off. ordered to call some 800 numbe so they could extort money out of you.The only way I could shut the computer off was by the power button.
I ran security right away and had 831 issues.
I had just ran it an hours ago and had 2 issues.
some serious stuff out there.
13 Hours now out on DVD and streaming. Watch it!!!
Hopefully, the Donald will use some of the volumes of info that has been produced about Benghazi in his campaigning to get rid of the hildabeast once and for all. if he does we need to support his efforts by reiterating it here.The woman belongs in jail not the oval office.
wow..
terrible
“Why else would all legitimate requests for increased security be denied? Why would you withdraw legitimate security assets in country?” Lyons asked in an interview with WND. “Why would you order Stevens’ personal security guards to store their weapons in a separate room in the complex on the day of the attack? This is pure dereliction of duty.”
