(New) AC-130U Gunship was On-Scene in Benghazi, Obama Admin Refused to Let It Fire
PJ Tatler ^ | 10-26-2012 | Bob Owen

If you don’t get torches-and-pitchforks irate about this, you are not an American:

The security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up support from a Specter gunship, which is commonly used by U.S. Special Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams on the ground involved in intense firefights. The fighting at the CIA annex went on for more than four hours — enough time for any planes based in Sigonella Air base, just 480 miles away, to arrive. Fox News has also learned that two separate Tier One Special operations forces were told to wait, among them Delta Force operators.

" calls Romney the Bull S*****? "

This comment from Obama, and in effect the whole main stream media becomes even more ironic after all this news coming out today.... now the people will look at Obama AND the media and his comment and think and say " now that's the real " BULL SHI*ER"

TURN ON FOX--THIS STORY IS BREAKING--HARD!!!!

The father of the Navy Seal who died just was on Fox-I listened to him in tears!

He was so strong, forgiving--but did NOT mince words when it came to the truth.

Dear God--if Obama is re-elected, he must be impeached for dereliction of duty!

Its not a sniper bullet but its also no carpet bombing. They can target individuals and vehicles.

You forgot that other war hero, John Kerry.

Like McCain, he served in Vietnam and certainly must have something worthless to add to this inexcusable scandal.

He’s talking to some guy who knows military protocol and is talking about the AC-130U Gunship.

Sorry, you are right to point out. This is a continous and fluid reporting situation.

The original reporting from FoxNews Jennifer Griffin has the ‘target sighted’ quote.

This is further confirmation that yes, from the AC-130U Gunship. And the specific request for aid from the gunship.

I don’t get mad anymore or I would have exploded long ago. I just get more outspoken and determined to get rid of The Disaster.

We all knew this was the case and there was plenty of assistance available. One pass of a flight of fighters 200 feet off the ground would have scattered these assholes without killing them but The Disaster would not even do this.

It really looks to me like he wanted some one dead inside that embassy and reminds me of the way Stalin held his armies back from Warsaw allowing Hitler to wipe out the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto when it rose against the Nazis.

Art. III, Sec. 3, United States Constitution:

Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

If this report is verified, there need to be very serious consequences.

Didn’t Obama proclaim in one of his books that if push came to shove that he would stand with the Muslims? Who was he protecting in Benghazi? IT CERTAINLY WAS NOT AMERICANS!!!

My son is a gunner for the AC-130 out of Eglin, Fla.
He just got back from the Mediterranean.
With a new president maybe he wont have to do another
duty in Afghanistan, did a lot of praying.
Prayers up for all of our military and a new
commander-in-chief.
