I feel like sending them all Wet Ones to clean their lips after all the @ss kissing taking place today.
The GRS team that was present at the CIA annex provided security for the CIA station, as they do around the world. They are highly trained in countersurveillance, close target reconnaissance and in depth reconnaissance. Enemy fighters have learned in Afghanistan and Iraq to use their cell phones to follow or intercept these “passive” lasers without having night vision or NODS.
The Annex team also had Ground Laser Designators, or GLD. This kind of laser equipment emits code and signal when there is overhead air support, unmanned aerial surveillance, drones or Spectre gunships, for instance.
A source present the night of the attack says that the GRS team that was defending the annex asked where the air support was at midnight. Former SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed 5 hours and 15 minutes later.
Nelson is the worst. I’ve had serious trouble listening to the democrats today, but his blathering was horrid.
Bill Nelson up, smiling like a he has dementia, and tries to make a timeline that Panetta can agree to with “Yes” answers.
Ten minute recess, then second round of questions.
Nothing in Nelson’s questioning on when the 37 Americans were rescued or where they were rescued. made it sound like a brief firefight at the consulate, then nothing for hours, then any attack at the annex.
Did not sound like that from what I have read.
