EXPLOSIVE REPORT: FORCES WERE AVAILABLE TO HELP AMERICANS UNDER ATTACK IN BENGHAZI

The U.S. government had the ability to “react and respond” to the Benghazi terrorist attack and could have had forces on the ground before the second wave of the assault began, a special operator with knowledge of the response told Fox News in an exclusive interview. Due to the explosive nature of his allegations, the special ops member asked to remain anonymous.

“I know for a fact that C 110 the UComm CIF was doing a training exercise, not in the region of northern Africa, but in Europe. And they had the ability to react and respond,” he told Fox News.

The C 110 is a 40-man Special Ops force capable of rapid response and deployment, a group trained specifically for an event like the Benghazi attack, Fox News reports. The unit was training in Croatia on Sept. 11, 2012, just 3.5 hours away from Benghazi.

“They would have been there before the second attack,” the anonymous special operator said. “They would have been there at a minimum to provide a quick reaction force that could facilitate their exfil out of the problem situation.”

He continued: “Nobody knew how it was going to develop, and you hear a whole bunch of people and a whole bunch of advisors say, ‘Hey, we wouldn’t have sent them there because the security was unknown situation.’ If it’s an unknown situation, at a minimum you send forces there to facilitate the exfil or medical injuries. We could have sent a C 130 to Benghazi to provide medical evacuation for the injured.”

The special operator said there are members of special ops and other officials who are still active and involved in the situation. “They would be decapitated if they came forward with information that could affect high-level commanders,” he added.

While he says he doesn’t “blame them for not coming forward,” the special operator said members of the community feel betrayed and believe the betrayal goes all the way to the top. Further, the Special Ops community feels like the Americans in Benghazi were left to fend for themselves.

The White House has said from the beginning that there were no forces available to assist Americans in Benghazi on Sept. 11.

I offered some reasonable advice to you over two pings.
It could go a long way for you to stay around if your who you claim to be. Give advertising guy and a lot other of us, some veritable set of facts to support your statement to him and most likely you shall be around for the duration.
Do understand. Your quick entrance on the scene, for one, places your original statement, in NOT GOOD Light.
If your on the level and fit in here. Do consider so many formal military folks, do contribute here.
Then in due time you two may end up exchanging pleasantries, so to speak.

AG. I just seem to be in a forgiving spirit this early morning. We want those responsible for this major fuck up to FRY.

Roger that TE.

while I too read all your posts...I’d appreciate it if I spoke for me

Well my dear friend. Perhaps he is a deceiving far left socialist, communist, prick that since early youth was fashioned in his Islamic bringing up, and then for so many years brainwashed further, into the ways of the multitudes of commie and far left liberal foundations, to be what he is today.
A very dangerous operator who wants to fundamentally change America in it's last gasps, into a socialist state.
As your painfully aware in listening to him and watching him over the past eight years or so. He is bad news for America.
I honestly believe in the reality of things, however, he is not anywhere as cute and clever as he might present to the general public at times.
But a mere puppet being manipulated by those that are as much or in some cases more evil then he is.
Those that run the show to keep him in power.
Perhaps I will be proven to be wrong in the final analysis. So be it.

And it never ONCE occurred to you that BOTH were planned in advance? That obama has a vendetta against the SEALs specifically and he is a vengeful, if not sadistic, man? That he left ALL of the Americans in Benghazi to die? ALL of them and that was thwarted by two EX Navy SEALs?
Get OVER it, you say?
I think not.

[Marine_Uncle]

Fair enough Freeper. It was a suggestion for him to show us he can stay at this site. It's his option. You did nothing wrong in any way.
For the record I do apologize to you, for butting into your business. You take care.

"Time for America to toughen up. It is not honorable to send good men to die to save other men who cannot be saved or are already dead."

Ah, yes. MOST dishonorable.

I was referring to that move to send a Navy Officier commanding a Carrier Strike Group back to the base in the State of Washington .

Comment was back on this continually expanding thread.

[Piranha]

you used to like this site? You joined two weeks ago! Did you Julian to promote the Obama agenda or is that a freebie?

[advertising guy]

also fair enuf and you did not butt into my business.....defendin this fool is harder than my youthful bull ridin days and singlehanding a sloop from Ca. to Hawaii and back

[FreedomStar3028]

wow, you’re a little ridiculous, this article states, that without a doubt, there were specops NEAR enough to get there in time to help.

6 hours is it? I’m sure 100% sure, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that we could have gotten help there in time, at the minimum, AT LEAST long enough to recover the bodies and kill a few hundred enemies.

We could have AT LEAST stopped him from being raped. Filthy necrophiliac sodomites.

It's late,...and I am too slow to keep up with a fast moving thread.

I depart for the rack....and if I said anything ...blantay (sp?) wrong ...well I regret it ....and will try harder tomorrow.

This is a hell of a thread.

Looking forward to Issa getting some action.

[advertising guy]

well...we have proof Obama hates the internet

lmao

RE: "I was referring to that move to send a Navy Officier commanding a Carrier Strike Group back to the base in the State of Washington."

And if in any way I offended you, I for the record offer you a full apology.
I miss read your intention to bring out some facts.

How could I in any way ridicule you. You took me into the fold way back in 2004. I do have mental images of some of our early interchanges during those trying times when our men and women where entrenched in Iraq.

As well as the thousands that proceeded. And come to think of it, you never once challenged what I had to say.

Nor the other way around. I do value your often beyond the required to post things of real significance.

Both. Do have a great upcoming day. One of good health and spirit. God is truly good.

[Marine_Uncle]

You take care. Many years of good health to come to you.
Let him roast for his impolite response to you. If he is amongst us, then he will stay on for a while if not zapped.

[Marine_Uncle]

Rest safe and sound my friend. My HE provide you the means to wake up yet for another day, staring at the wonderful warm sunshine beaming into your bedroom window.
And yet another day to contribute with meaningful post to this site.

Whoops CL. Forgot to thank you for the post. Tis 3:30AM EST., I gotta hit the rack. Just wanted to acknowledge your posting.

[FreedomStar3028]

I think I’m missing your point.

Yes, but they have honor and intelligence.
