Greg Hicks: It just is. We--, for us, for the people that go out onto the edge, to represent our country, we believe that if we get in trouble, they're coming to get us. That our back is covered. To hear that it's not, it's a terrible, terrible experience.

This, I believe, is the whole reason behind Benghazi. Kill our fighting elan. Make every operator think, do they really have my back.

This inaction castrated America in Libya and gave it to Al Qaeda. Obama is Carter-cubed. The U.S. government today acknowledges the Americans at the U.S. compound in Benghazi were not adequately protected. And says those who carried out the attack are still being hunted down.

“This, I believe, is the whole reason behind Benghazi.”

We have known this since obama changed our ROE and refused our troops air support when they were pinned down in Afghanistan. If only it was that upfront and simple, but it isn’t.
You have to go all the way back to clinton and research the pattern that has been in place when we score a good hit on al qaeda or a sacrifice is necessary to achieve a political agenda. With clinton, it was Blackhawk Down, Kosovo, the USS Cole.
Benghazi was a sacrifice pure-simple TO al qaeda FOR the drone strike on ya ya al libi, and it wasn’t the first of many sacrifices FROM obama TO al qaeda and the mb.
