A preview by Benghazi security officer Kris “Tanto†Paronto of 13 Hours, the block-buster Michael Bay film that premieres on Thursday, raises dramatic new questions about the refusal by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to authorize a military rescue of the besieged U.S. diplomatic facility and the nearby CIA Annex on Sept 11-12, 2012.
In a presentation at a conference organized by the Maryland Citizen Action Network last weekend, Paronto revealed that two AC-130H “Spectre†gunships were “on call†that night, both within range of Benghazi.
One of them was a six-hour flight away, co-located with a U.S. special operations team in Djibouti.
The other was at Naval Air Station Sigonella, in Sicily. “That’s a 45-minute flight,†Paronto said.
The Spectre gunship with its 25mm rapid-fire gatling guns, its 40 mm precision Bofors gun, and its 105mm canon is “good in urban warfare because you have little collateral damage,†Paronto explained.

Later, his friends in the unit told him they had been shut down sometime after midnight.
All evidence now points to a specific stand-down order issued by Secretary Clinton, since the Libyan facilities came under her direct authority. Without a specific request for assistance from the State Department, the Pentagon was powerless to act.

One thing in the rumor mill is Ambassador Stevens was running his mouth. We’d been running arms to AQ over there. Hillary stood by and didn’t send help to let her ‘friend’ get killed.
What was he doing there in Benghazi? I haven’t heard anyone ask that question yet in a hearing.
That murderous bitch did it herself.
Whoever debates the witch, Cruz or Trump, needs to take the gloves off and throw this down at her feet.
Running guns or running mouths or.even running through a park can get one killed
In theory don’t ambassadors go around everywhere pushing “Can’t We All Get Along?”
“One thing in the rumor mill is Ambassador Stevens was running his mouth. We’d been running arms to AQ over there.”
Doubt that, but the whole operation was running arms to AQ. Running arms to the crew that gave us 9/11 is something that should be exposed.
Apparently Hillary and Company believed they were ‘moderate Muslims’ and wanted to toss out Qadaffi (sp?).
And Steven was the US coordinator with AQ in Libya, the place where we changed sides in the war.
Yep. Evidence also points to this being a moslem brotherhood (MB) op. There was suppose to be a kidnapping to make the MB a deal maker in the mideast and US. They weren’t expecting patriots to be on scene. They never got back their blind sheik back.
“Apparently Hillary and Company believed they were ‘moderate Muslims’ and wanted to toss out Qadaffi”
Yes, the people who attacked us on 9/11....moderate. The entire nest in Benghazi was treasonous, unless some player was utterly and hopelessly in the dark. Supplying AQ in Libya, and taking the Black Flag show in the road to Syria. The canceled response was to try to hide the exposed black (in every sense of the word) op.
“Yep. Evidence also points to this being a moslem brotherhood (MB) op.”
Probably, we had just installed them in Egypt and they and their AQ allies were all over Libya.
Have you heard anything about the MB assigning “handlers” - one per politician - here in the U.S.?
My great grandmother is now 105 and she calls Obama an imposter, and a fake. Quite sure her medicine isn’t working and she’s correct. Love her.
She ordered up Waco too where many died.
Now we find out she put in a stand-down order where some more men were killed.
What is it with this b_tch?
He was meeting with a guy from Turkey (his name has been mentioned, but I don’t know it). As soon as the Turkish man left the compound, that is when the attack began.
It appeared to be common knowledge that we were running guns out of the compound. Why .. and to whom, I don’t know.
My critical thinking skill says it wasn’t to the Israelis or to Assad, or Al Sisi.
Kinda narrows it down.
“Kinda narrows it down.”
YES it does .. because that claim has already been made that we were selling arms to AQ; but I never got a final answer on exactly who we were selling to.
Hands up, don't shoot!
