Rule by the democrips party is thuggery and treachery, right straight the way through. Unions and criminal vote fraud are the vehicles the criminal enterprise party ride as they shove We The People sovereignty under the globalists’ bus. The media cover up the fraud are the infestation of vermin which must be eradicated for the Republic to have any chance at surviving.

Then my advice for these officers is too resign with their moral code intact
and look in the business community from employers who value that type
of character

Per this old article it mentions the OPPS team at Sigonella

The Obama national security team, including CIA, DNI, State Department and the Pentagon, watched and listened to the assault but did nothing to answer repeated calls for assistance. It has been reported that President Obama met with Vice President Joseph R. Biden and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta in the Oval Office, presumably to see what support could be provided. After all, we had very credible military resources within striking distance. At our military base in Sigonella, Sicily, which is slightly over 400 miles from Benghazi, we had a fully equipped Special Forces unit with both transport and jet strike aircraft prepositioned. Certainly this was a force much more capable than the 22-man force from our embassy in Tripoli

Another unanswered question is, where was USS “John C. Stennis” position and why was Admiral Gaouette removed from his command and sent in the “silent” corner???

Perhaps it was expected to be finished much quicker because they didn’t expect two Navy Seals to show up...

We hear that one of the ex-Seals had painted targets with a laser designator, which leads one to ask, what for? There were said to be two drones, at least one armed with Hellfire missiles, in the vicinity and an AC-130U gunship in close proximity but they were not given the commands to engage. I don't have to tell anyone here what an AC-130U Spectre gunship would have done to the towel heads. There is info all over the internet, and several links are:

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2012/10/27/U-S-Had-Two-Drones-AC-130-Gunship-and-Targets-Painted-In-Benghazi-But-Obama-Didn-t-Pull-The-Trigger

http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2012/10/26/ac-130u-gunship-was-on-scene-in-benghazi-obama-admin-refused-to-let-it-fire/

The money question is who declined to use these assets, and why? Did the guys on the ground use a laser designator for no reason? This is really the biggest cover-up which surpasses the bogus cover story about the film.

from the start I've never understood the stand down order. if a call came in that a fire had started would the engines not roll regardless the stage of the blaze?

why wouldn't boots have been sent to secure the area even if the attack lasted only minutes?
