The latest explanation, from retired General Keane (interviewed by Giraldo), is that the drone has a narrow line of vision and the compound is in what’s classified as a residential area so they couldn’t tell the bad guys from the militia. That explanation doesn’t make sense if the drone was unarmed, so I’m presuming that this is an admission that the drone was armed.
Woods had painted the target and someone was giving the drone coordinates. For Panetta et al to say that they couldn’t tell who the bad guys were even those eyes on-site had painted the target for them is to say that they didn’t trust Woods - from the top of the annex building - to be able to tell them where the incoming fire was coming from. They had all the knowledge they needed but they didn’t trust it - if you believe the reasons being given right now.
I think Panetta, Ham, and whoever they say was commander in the Benghazi area owe the Woods family an explanation for why they didn’t trust the eyes and/or motives of a guy who had just risked his life to rescue 30 people and was at that very moment taking the time to paint a target while being fired at on the top of a building as he continued to risk his life to protect those 30 people.
If our ROE say that somebody in DC has to be able to see the target before anybody can fire on it, then let’s just line up all our soldiers and shoot them right now, because that’s what those ROE would mean.
I read that when they found the 2 SEALs killed on the top of that building, their weapons were caked with blood, indicating that they had been up there fighting even though they were wounded.
Greater love has no one than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. How disgusting are the vermin in DC, that they would know the sacrifices made by somebody like Woods and would hang him out to dry, claiming he wasn’t trustworthy enough to tell them where the fire against him was coming from! If they can’t trust somebody of that caliber, then who are they suggesting we trust?
The Taliban is on the inside of the building, indeed.
I propose we impeach Obama and give what would have been his lifetime pension to the widow of Tyrone Woods, and that we impeach Leon Panetta and Hillary Clinton and give what would have been their pensions to the newborn son of Tyrone Woods - which Tyrone never got to even hold in his arms because he died at the hands of these “fine public servants”.

Particularly laughable, since no matter who they were, if they were out there, they were bad guys.
I think another Freeper said it best: Obama simply refused to risk harming even a single Muslim to save Americans. His allegiance is not with us.
And Hillary, Panetta and everybody else in the government knows this, but for some reason, they are too terrified of him to do anything about it. Or perhaps they feel so compromised now that they are afraid that when he's tried for treason, they'll go too; or maybe they're fearing a literal Night of the Long Knives.
