Why were we there on the scene as it happened?
From the article:
“’Our special forces have freed hostages and 30 others were able to escape on their own. We have sealed all the exit points of the hotel, so be assured none of the hostage takers will be able to escape,’ security minister Salif Traore told AFP.”
Big Media has been reporting for hours that the situation has “ended”, but been saying nothing about the bad guys, only who and how many escaped or were evacuated.
There is no joy in this observation.
Hopefully because their radios and phones were "broken" and couldn't get the order to stand down.
Backpedaling ....

Another question: Why couldn't the forces be on the scene as quickly for Bengkazi?
Yes....why where we on the scene.
Muslims = The reason the world can’t have nice things.
That’s quite a backtrack. The media needs to start doing some fact checking before all the Breaking News Alerts.
Or the State Dept is full of crap...
This should push Trump over the top polling over 50%!!!
Here’s a better question. Why could special forces, on very short notice, lead the Mali operation and were never even mustered for Benghazi?
This is hard!
But Obama and his Democrats will firmly state that
this has nothing to do with Islam.
Can’t imagine why anyone in their right mind would travel to that shit hole. In my 24 years of military service I’ve been sent to my share of shit holes. Always ordered to go of course. The lesson, as always, Muslims ruin everything.
IF our forces were there I’d say they would be in some of the photographs, but I don’t see any.
ISLAM IS on the move. We must be ready.
I’m scratching my head ... ;)

I wonder if we’ll be able to solve the intricate puzzle as to the cause.
