Everyone let him down. He still has his honor and no one can take that from him. I’m sure he’s watching all of this go down. Wish he would give a shout out ‘I told you so!’.

The United States was under attack and every SCIF Conference room in not only the U.S. miltary (land and Sea) but probably some Canadian, Australian, British and some others watched in real time also. That’s one bell this Zip Pin Head in the Oval Office can’t “unring”. There’s only so many concussions Hillary can have.

All this is true but misses the main point- if we took 3 hours or 12 hours to reach him, we should have tried.

When it started we had no idea how long it was going to last.

When they got the call that they were under attack, did they think “gosh, this will be over in a few hours- we better not send anyone”???

But I absolutely do not believe it would take that long- we don’t put people that far away from help

What if Hillary and Obama knew that the rest of the Americans in Benghazi wouldn’t be killed? What if they agreed to blackmail and to meet the blackmailers demands? We actually haven’t seen any of the thirty at the second facility. They can’t all be super spies. Maybe they are still in Libya?

We should have at least tried...


The White Hut would have us believe that they wouldn’t have arrived IN TIME, so goes the meme. However, how did they know how the 2 separate attacks were going to last?

The rank~n~file lefties think we’re being drama queens over this (”shyt happens”). And then they think we’re simply being partisan when we raise a stink about clear cowardice and dereliction of duty by Øbongo & Co. I sure wouldn’t want to be stuck holding that hand.

I remember the day this happened. I thought for sure the fellow in the white house was done.
Then the spin started.

Then the media started to back the spin.

I have said since that day, we could have had JEts in the air within an hour to do at least a fly by.

Naval Air Station Sigonella Southern Italy NATO base Sicily is 468 miles from Benghazi.

More than 2900 active duty personel. C-2, C-9, an HC squadron and is the major support element for US SIXTH Fleet Mediterranean.

So, where was the sixth fleet Hillary?

Okay, here is a link to NAS Sigonela:

“Do you really think that we have ANYONE in Congress with stones big enough to start the impeachment process?

Who do you think runs the country — the Greatest Generation?”

No one in Congress had the stones big enough to stand up to Franklin Roosevelt. He committed crimes every bit as bad as President Obama.

The “Greatest Generation” did some great things. They also brought about our current slide into socialism and the debt crises.

They were ready, the CInC was voting present. But we still don’t know where he was.

Your question naturally arises from the point: Over 30 Americans were abandoned to be killed by foreigners and terrorists in Benghazi. In the end, four were killed.

The simplest explanation is that these Americans were abandoned due to a misguided pacifist hesitancy—ala Jimmy Carter. All other explanations are WORSE, by far.

The CIA must’a been do’in some real bad shit in Benghazi, to have the entire US military complex: plus Zer0, the Muslim a-hole; and Hitlery staking her 2016 assent to the presidency, covering up whatever was going on!

But, “AT THIS POINT, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE”!

Was there a reason Obama or Hillary might have wanted the Ambassador dead?

But Obama says they couldn’t have. Obviously, these people don’t know what they’re talking about.

More than 30 actually. Four died and 37 survivors were flown
to Tripoli and then on to Germany. 41 were left to be killed.
