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.
Sounds like they wanted those people dead.
Glad to see this story in breaking news!
Fo sho.

Let’s pray more and more comes out! Watergate was a bungled burglary, for Heaven’s sake! $ people were KILLED 9/11/12, and another has since died, that I know of. This was not BREAK-IN GONE BAD, but a cover-up of malfeasance, dereliction of duty, and continuation of the fast & furious ‘get the weapons in the hands of people who hate us’ operation. These weapons will probably be used against our own military, if not already!
I too have my doubts. Does the Salvation Army have Colonels? LOL!
Yep. They flew a World War 2 airplane into Benghazi. Not a jet.....not loaded with countermeasures.....a World War 2 airplane.
Yep - like the next event & then next & the next.
How many will it take before you draw a line on accountability: this far and no further?

We already knew this. The reason for the first General being relieved of command was for trying to send help, counter to his orders.
exactly!!!!!my thoughts too....
The MSM will give more coverage to a new Chuck E Cheese opening than this.
Try spreading your disinformation with a different crowd.
There were personnel ready to go in Sigonella but the order never came.
Please put me on your ping list!
“the media doesn’t care
they simply will not report bad news for The Him”
WE ARE the media! Forward this to anyone you know who cares. Get the word out.
