The gist of this article is simply to request those in the know to stand tall. It's time that our clandestine services and military SpecOps folks face the fact that they have been used and betrayed. They can either deal with the fear of reprisal or support their brothers. It's a simple request.
I also realize that upper level eschelon like Petraeus, Powell, et al, have their political careers to consider, as has always been. I'm simply asking for the guys in the "shit" to step forward for their buddies to set things right. It's time they did. Remember the Swift Boat Vets? They spoke out.
This Benghazi attack is a very simple thing to understand. The consulate was American soil. Anyone who attacks such is attacking USA sovereign territory. The WH and many others were apprised of the on-going situation and there was only the response of, "stand down". Brain science not needed.
but it wasn’t a consulate or an embassy. Thus is wasn’t US soil. Not that that fact changes things too much, just that I wonder how it does change things.
