I am betting the guys on standby weren’t even told what the situation really was on the ground. They were told to load up, standby, and stand down. One piece of air to ground ordnance would have been enough to stop the fight. It’s pathetic to leave these guys without help for that long when it is a short hop across the Med.

Outrageous that these guys were not cleared to fire unless they saw a gun! They had to let a car full of jihadis pull up and phone in the GPS coordinates used in the mortar attack!!
