Obama said he had to wait for permission to enter the sovereign nation of Libya. The same sovereignty he did not respect when overthrowing Gaddafi; the same sovereignty he did not respect in Yemen. the same sovereignty he does not respect in Syria, AND the same sovereignty he does not enforce in the United States.
In my opinion, we should have made a rescue attempt in addition to immediately sending in military to secure the areas that were attacked -there is no permission required to defend Americas and American assets.
Very well said, thank you!
