That would explain the Las Vegas trip on September 12.
The decision had been made to let them die. So what else could be done? Go to Vegas!
Obama’s a coward and a traitor. He puts politics ahead of lives.
The Lt. Col. states that these operations are usually a 50/50 proposition. High risk. Not clear how many enemies are on the ground or how well armed.
The two CIA operatives nearby were told THREE TIMES to stand down. They went anyway. Whole ordeal was 7 hours and troops could have been there 4-5 hours tops - but none were ever sent.
White House situation had the info and would have gone straight to POTUS for a decision. Decision was made NOT to intervene and risk failure.
Don’t need any other conspiracies (kidnapping, gun running etc.) to explain it. This is bad enough and seems like a decision a politician would make.
FOUR MEN LEFT BEHIND.
Obama in 2010:
“When times are tough, you tighten your belts,” the president said. “You don’t go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don’t blow a bunch of cash on Vegas:
The president’s comments come nearly a year after he criticized companies that received federal money for taking corporate junkets to Las Vegas. “You can’t go take that trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on taxpayers’ dime,” he said.
Well, he hates America and likes to see America defeated, punished, and humiliated. So that always has something to do with his decisions, from banning the production of energy in our own country to ordering a no-go as Commander in Chief to save the ambassador that works for him and the soldiers.
It also shows how truly stupid he is politically. He issued the no-go so that he would not lose the vote of the anti-American lefties who hired him to neuter our military and our “cowboy approach” to foreign policy.
Most of those lefties will only vote for him and hate Romney more than they will ever admit disappointment in Obammie the Commie, who may have won over a considerable chunk of the independents and women votes if he’d approved a limited military response to save our citizens over there.
He showed his true colors: stupid red.
