Here’s the theory of how the hostage got killed. They thought they could get there unopposed with the stand down order but Woods disobeyed the order and killed 30-40 terrorists before getting killed so they killed Stevens. This would explain Biden’s balls like bowling balls line.
The other way may have been they couldn’t get to him so they started the fire and he died of smoke inhalation and now they had a dead hostage. Best guess would be the revenge factor.
The Col. went on to say that F16's could have been deployed and would have been there in 25 minutes just just like Col. Shaffer had said several times in the past few weeks.
Bottom line they(the F16's) were never called for.
Once you realized help for the Benghazi compound was never called for you have to ask the big question: why?
Once you ask why you go from there.
