Had it not been for the SEALS who disobeyed orders, everyone at that compound would have died. No witnesses. No problem.
Exactly. It wasn’t held to the four who were massacred, there were somewhere between 20 and 30 survivors—thanks to those SEALS that rescued them!
This administration was willing to let all of them die. I just can’t wrap my head around ANY of this!
OMG! You are absolutely right about this.
And much more than just 4 Americans (don’t get me wrong, just one American is one too many) would be in the news.
From what I understand, the former SEALS were employees of a civilian security contractor. They were not under military orders, but after a couple of requests for support through various channels and being denied, they decided to try to save the Ambassador and others of their own accord. If that is true, and seems many news agencies say so, they are true heroes.
I damn to hell, the person[s] who denied air cover. Like has been mentioned many times, Obama was the ultimate authority to allow cross border incursion. He decided to go to bed to be fresh for Vegas the next day. I thought I couldn't hate anyone more than Clinton for denying the Rangers air/ground support in Somalia (Black Hawk Down).
At least that was a military mission that Clinton managed to botch through micro-management. This is a matter of simply not following protective protocol for a consulate, before and during.
There is a long list of people who will have to account for this debacle. As I posted in my own article, I desire, ask, and expect the various military and clandestine service personnel to come forward and give us their account. If they don't and too worried about their futures, then they have no honor. Like I said, if they have to wash cars and be able to look themselves in the mirror, so be it!
