Sorry for the long post. First of all, the report of the attack on Ambassador Stevens went right to the top. They pull the president out of bed or off the golf course immediately for an attack on a US Ambassador. I would bet a month’s pay Obama’s military aids knew about it before Hilary. They have secure comms even on the golf course and it seems Obama was at the White House when this happened, so he knew immediately. We know there was a Predator over Benghazi during the attack, and maybe before the attack started. Predators are slow (about 135 MPH top speed), so just where did this Predator come from and why was it on station at Benghazi so soon? That is the first question we need answered and the first big clue that our government is lying to us. Fighters from Sigonella could have been there long before a Predator. Sigonella to Benghazi direct line is about 500 miles. I am not an Air Force guy, but seems to me, from alert to time on station maybe 45 minutes for fighter. Even an AC-130 is more than twice as fast as a Predator. Helicopters are faster than a Predator. So why was a Predator on station and an unarmed one at that? Getting air support there would not have been a problem. If this was an agency operation, they would have coordinated and planned for assistance. No GO I have ever encountered would have said no to a request for assistance from a US Ambassador under attack. They would have tried with every asset at their command and no one was allowed to try. Someone way up the food chain denied the assistance, and denied it in the strongest terms. Only three make any sense and have the authority to say no. Obama, Hilary or the politically correct Dempsey. Obama probably couldn’t make a decision. Then it was too late and the cover up started.
Why an unarmed predator?
Why, Obama wanted eyeballs on the scene to be sure Stevens died horribly.
Something gay and personal in this mix.
Was the mission where Stevens was visiting the only facility/residence attacked? I think Benghazi was this administration’s weapons depot. My guess is some sort of deal was made with the ‘new’ president of Libya for US to collect the now deposed Colonel Q’s weapons of mass destruction.
This administration is arming their rebel army with weapons from someplace. I suspect there was a paralyzing fear that a stray munition might set Benghazi off.
Obama probably called the new Libyan government, and handed all responsibility to them. After that call, all forces were told to stand down and watch the massacre unfold.
