If you don’t get torches-and-pitchforks irate about this, you are not an American:
The security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up support from a Specter gunship, which is commonly used by U.S. Special Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams on the ground involved in intense firefights. The fighting at the CIA annex went on for more than four hours — enough time for any planes based in Sigonella Air base, just 480 miles away, to arrive. Fox News has also learned that two separate Tier One Special operations forces were told to wait, among them Delta Force operators.

This is insane
This is inhuman
Now they say 2 drones.
Why would they be painting a mortar team with a laser?
AT least one of those drones had hellfire missiles, I would bet anything.
Did 0bama ask Pockeeston permission to kill bin Laden? Does he ask Pockeeston permission to make drone strikes there? Did 0bama ask Yemen permission to kill Alawki's 16 yr old son with a drone strike?
Thanks. I wanted to be sure that the information in the article confirmed the headline because it would be a meltdown moment in the cover up. One of the reasons given for not letting aircraft in was that there was a fear of a Mogadishu type incident or ambush. So, if there actually was a gunship on scene and it was told not to fire, all holy hell would break loose!
But it was said that the planes were posted to Libya.
Correction.... IF they had to, they can land a AC-130 on a Aircraft carrier or take off from a aircraft carrier.
That is suitably unnecessary.
TRANSCRIPT: Presidential debate on foreign policy at Lynn University
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/22/transcript-presidential-debate-on-foreign-policy-at-lynn-university/
Obama “Now with respect to Libya, as I indicated in the last debate, when we received that phone call, I immediately made sure that, number one, that we did everything we could to secure those Americans who were still in harm’s way;”
Sigonella NAS, Sicily. 480 miles from Benghazi.
An AC-130 was armed, fueled and ready.
As was a Special Ops team flown in from Germany, on the tarmac, rotors turning.
Plus a squadron of F-18s.
Their "Go" signal never came.
This also blows away the argument that they had to get permission to move their assets into Libya to do the job.
Increasingly it looks like the regime has to choose between 2 explanations:
1. We are soul-less bastards who didn’t care that 22 people in our complex were going to be gunned down by Islamists.
2. We knew the attack was just a harmless theatrical production so we didn’t need any real protection coming in and screwing up the charade.
I agree with your sentiment, but there were two Warsaw uprisings. The Jewish Warsaw uprising began April 19, 1943 and Stalin was not in a position to assist them, not that he would have anyway. The uprising you are referring to began August 1, 1944. To Stalin’s eternal damnation, he too, had information that could have saved people, and he did nothing. Just like Obama.
Well, his campaign manager is Wile E. Coyote isn’t he?
And new packages are arriving daily from Acme.
It certainly looks like the Intel community is bringing him down, leak by leak.
I WANT PRESIDENT OBAMA BASTARD ARRESTED TODAY, put him in Bidens CHAINS.
CALL a MUTINY. He is no longer fit to command the SHIP OF STATE.
Then there’s always the angle about America asking for permission to defend American territory and American lives.
It’s not too late for Americans to insist that everyone associated with this in this administration be denied all current and future security at taxpayers expense.
To those providing security for these traitors here is a tip, when the time comes - DUCK!
EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say Fox NewsThe security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up support from a Spectre gunship,...
The security officer sure thought getting one over them was a possibility.
These used to fly over my house regularly, usually showing up around dusk. For some reason they were flying around in the middle of the day when I took this one. They come from Hurlburt AFB which is on Eglin. I don't see them nearly as often any more.
