13 Hours

Don't know if there is a thread already about this.....don't feel like digging through pages just to see.

Anyway....watched it last night. Cried almost the entire movie. Very powerful....and if you think that Hillary's hands are clean after watching this, you are a special kind of stupid.

Quit being racist and hating on the FBP and soon-to-be FWP. They know what is best.

Something that has always bothered me about all this is the hyper-focus on the video by Republicans and conservative radio commentators.

I am not saying that component is not important, especially in light of how it perhaps influenced the 2012 election, but it clouds what I feel is a bigger issue.

The bigger issue is what the hell were Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton doing when this all went down? Where were they? I don't think that has ever been asked or answered. My opinion is they bailed out and put their political lives first, before the lives of 4 Americans. But why is this never explored in any detail?

Obama was up in the family quarters and no idea where Hillary was. Neither was in the situation room at any time during that attack. Obama called Hillary at 10 PM from the family quarters. At 10:30 Hillary released that bullshit about the Youtube video causing a spontaneous demonstration.

They are a couple of ******** that didn't know what to do. Plain and simple. They left our citizens in a bad place. Reagan would've bombed the **** out of them.

Hillary knew at 4pm. She talked to Bomma at 10pm.
So, in SIX hours, nothing could be done.

D'uh. What, you think the United States of Vaginas has some magic war craft that can cover 1000 miles in less than six hours????

That works out to damn near 170 miles per hour!!

we have these flying jalopies that can fly pretty fast, but I think that's only north and south - not east nor west.

OK.

Now Trump, force her to explain that. Like that ******' ******* Harry Reid, when he said Romney didn't pay his taxes, which was BS, make an accusation against Hillary. She wasn't there. Force her on the defensive about it. Make the accusation that she put her political life ahead of the lives of 4 Americans. Keep hammering it. She can explain away the video thing, IMO.

Yeah its not like we have a permanently stationed Carrier Battle Group in the Mediterranean or an air base in Italy with fighter bombers a 40 minute flight away or a Marine expeditionary unit in Djibouti or anything like that....

Where was the military on 9/11?

Where was the military on 9/11?

The military was available and in fact scrambled jets to counter the terrorists, and were ordered to stand down.

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.

In fact, it was just what the beleaguered security team needed. They could see the jihadis advancing on the Annex compound throughout the night and lit them up with lasers, which the airborne crew could have used for precision targeting purposes. On-line videos of the Spectre gunship in operation show that it can walk its cannons up narrow streets, killing fighters while leaving the surrounding buildings intact and people inside them unharmed.

“I asked for the Spectre and ISR [an armed Predator drone] at 9:37 pm,” Paronto said, certain that the attacks actually started at 9:32 pm local time, not 9:42 pm as previously reported. “At midnight, they told us they were still working on getting us that Spectre gunship. Not that it was not available, but that they were still working on it.”

And there were more forces immediately available for a rescue effort, in particular, the European Command (EUCOM) Commander’s In-Extremis Force, which was then on a counter-terrorism training mission in Croatia, a 3 hour flight from Benghazi.

Paronto knew people in that unit, and remembers calling them after he and his security team got back to the CIA Annex from the diplomatic compound, where they had just rescued the surviving U.S. personnel. “They were loading their gear into their aircraft and ready to go,” he recalled.

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.
