They rescued a bunch of people and brought them to the (consulate) annex, and then people defended the annex after Glen and Ty fell. All those people didnt get overrun and wiped out. They had enough people to fight off that battle, said Greg Doherty, who lives in Kensington in Northern California. In that light, Doherty said the debate over needing more help doesnt make sense to him, unless it might have been U.S. airstrikes against a mortar position used by attackers. But then you are getting into real specific strategy, and I dont think it is civilians job to pick apart an actual battle and talk strategy, unless you are a general, said Doherty, reached by telephone Thursday. It just seems like people are looking to direct their anger at Obama somehow. Isn't this guy a bit hypocritical since he himself is a civilian evaluating the combat action that took place in Benghazi? He makes it sound like there was an organized force that fought off the attackers. That's not what happened. The staff was not a military reaction force. They didn't fight off the attack; they escaped, leaving behind a destroyed complex, classified documents and four dead Americans, including an ambassador whose body was abused. The military forces that are trained for these contingencies were standing by and ready to respond, but for some reason (and against the theater commander's (Ham's) judgement, they were forced to stand down. Unfortunately, Doherty's brother and mother are Obama apologists, who will not or cannot face the truth that their political messiah left their loved one to die when actions could have been taken.
In the former UUSR, Greg would be considered a Useful Idiot. Here, he is just one of Obama’s many human shields.
