What this guy is saying is that you never lase until there is air support over the target so you can coordinate the proper code. If you were guiding an air dropped weapon yourself then yes, you do need to enter the proper code for each weapon. This doesn't support the existence of a Spectre over the target because I don't recall that platform doesn't carry any weapons that would require laser guidance.
Where the Fluike is MIttens’ response?!!!!!
Well said!
How likely is it that the Predator would have hellfires that could have hit the target?
That information should be easy enough to find out, shouldn’t it? If Congress investigated they should know this quickly, shouldn’t they?
Actually, he’s probably doing the smart thing: Let Obama stew in his own juices. If Mitt chimes in, it looks “political” to the low-information voters.
I KNEW Panetta and Petraeus were lying through their teeth when I saw them on Thursday. I did not actually HEAR Petraeus SAY anything, as I couldn’t watch the entire briefing. Panetta may have been the Designated Liar for both of them. But the expression on Petraeus’ puss was all I NEEDED to see. As guilty a Bonnie and Clyde!

‘I want Obama gone.’
Right behind ya.
Excellent plain words, from Plain Talk.

Petraeus Throws Obama Under the Bus By Kristol
Thanks for the information about the hospital. I hadn’t heard about that possibility before.
That does not explain all of the lies.
Two drones were overhead.
Those things are armed.
One missile would have eliminated the mortar position.
There is something big big big behind this.
Maybe arming militia to fight Syria, maybe something else.
I think something much more.
After all the info coming out about this attack on American soil, I agree that there is something more to this, and I am not a conspiracy type. As the facts come out, it is becoming clear that someone decided not to scrambled US forces to secure our sovereign territory. The CIA operatives; SpecOp guys; and gunships were ready to go as I read the latest reports. However, they were told to "stand down".
I've read that only the President can authorized intrusion on foreign soil (Obama's Libya bombing notwithstanding). However, this was not foreign soil. It was USA sovereign ground. That is what an embassy/consulate is about and as has been long recognized by the world of civilized nations.
This is growing and people will go down over this. Unfortunately, it will be lower politicos who take the fall, when it should be the top. We know who they are.
Did you hear Issa at the end of Hannity, when Hannity asked if there was any way he could get the audio or videos to show on the program? Issa said if someone leaked them to him. Issa was almost begging someone to leak these things to him. It was hard to hear because Hannity stated talking.
It was reported that the Predator was unarmed, but who knows what was really the case.
Not incompetent, newbie! DELIBERATE!
I've read that someone "painted the target", but have not read that it is verified. If that occurred, like the poster says above, the "painter" knew of a potential air strike or wouldn't have bothered. I wonder what he knew via comms.
If I was still military, I would risk everything to spill all. I wouldn't care if I wound up drying cars at a carwash. I would have my integrity in tact and live my life out as an honorable man. More need to come forward.
If any military of other civilian operatives are reading this, it's your time to stand up. You can stay in fear of the system or make a difference for your fallen mates. Protect your pension or do the right thing. Sheesh, guys/gals. You have no idea how many would support you, even financially. And if not enough, then wash some dishes and be able to look at yourself in the mirror.
Best case scenario: Obama doesn’t and hasn’t cared about the responsibility of POTUS in the last 6+ months and ignored it.
Worst case scenario: Obama allowed this to happen in hopes of getting the people who tired to kill/killed the staff for his campaign purposes.
Isn’t it possible Woods was lighting up the mortar site in an attempt to scare the ragheads off the mortar. He knew eventually they would calibrate correctly if not forced to move.
Tyrone Wood deserves a Medal of Honor. Obama, a dishonorable discharge and a yellow stripe painted down the back of his Armani suit.
