Excellent explanation, clear as daylight on a bright summer day. Except it wasn't an "embarrassing debacle'. It was CRIMINAL.

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

Excellent read from a Fighter Pilot that knows what he is talking about.

In addition, no one knew how long this firefight was going to last.
So, send the damn planes. We all hope the person(s) involved in giving
the order to stand down is exposed and shamed with tar and feathers.

Very clear. It put the lie to Obama, if that was necessary. I think any of us where once in the service, even in the Stone Age, pretty much thought like this was likely.

Gotta go now, it sounds like the IRS Swat team is here.

Clear and concise. Now, who in the immediate military chain of command is so cowardly thgat they are lending cover to the treachery? Because that one or those two or three are useless dishonorable vermin playing at politics and have abandoned their fellow warriors still in the fray. We know Petraeus is scum, but who are the others that are covering for the treachery of the obamanation laying desolate the honor of our Military?

Uou could start with panetta and dempsey, the joint chiefs, then just work your way across the spectrum.

I posted a link to this thread in Five myths about Benghazi

That is a thread I started to try to consolidate and catalog Benghazi related information. Thanks for sharing this

One of the worst charges brought against Col. Custer, long before Little Big Horn, was that he left the Seventh Cavalry dead to the mercies of the Indians. Cavalry respected that the Native American warriors always carried away their dead. To have left the ambassador to the mercies of the Islamic dogs, is unconscionable.

I expected no honor out of Panetta. He is a clinton hack from the get go and a Soros servant. I’m thinnking more about membership in the officer ranks, very high up ...

It is not that we SHOULDN'T look at each scandal individually and try to get to the bottom of it.

But.

At the heart of all these emerging ‘scandals’ – IRS targeting specific groups, secret AP phone records, Benghazi cover-up, and who knows what else might come to light – is this:

Obama’s ambition, to win a second term presidency, so he can start his fundamentally transforming America in earnest, to creat his own historical 'LEGACY'. It is not enough for him to be the 'first' "black" president in history books.

But he can not win the election ON HIS OWN MERIT. Just like his first term, he did not win because of what he has done or accomplished. So he and his band of thugs pulled out all the stops, every means to justify the end. Just so Obama can focus on 'governing' (i.e. de facto dictate) in his second term.

ALL of the scandals (so far) can be traced back directly to Obama himself. All the scandals (so far) are tied together. ===> Obama.

/Sorry for this Off Topic post here.

I don’t even recognize my military anymore. I don’t want to paint all COs with a broad brush, but it seems like the only way they can get promoted is to fall in line. It’s frightening.

did any F-16s get airborne from Aviano?

it seems to me that the prudent thing to do
would be to move some F-16s to NAS Sigonella,
even if they were held there.

It’s not really off topic, naps, but for my money, everything that we are seeing is the culmination of what the clinton administration set into place, gwb carried through, and obama actually accomplished because all he had to do was nothing but give speeches...and that just doesn’t work any more than his fake blackness does anymore.
pelosi and reid did the heavy lifting and they got their marching orders from bubba. That’s a fact.

Thank you ,

For your information Cheney said, on one of the radio or TV shows, that a special OPS terror team was always based at Sigonella during the Bush years.He did not confirm one was there on Sept 11 but a good question to ask the Sec Def. If you listen carefully to all the people who have testified they always say US assets never including NATO assets. We now know they parse their words.
