Benghazi Index
The troops were ordered to “stand down”.
Obama wanted no rescue. Hillary allowed them to die. All knew what was going on.
It’s not a story if the media refuse to report it!/S

This is getting perverse. I couldn’t have written a fiction novel that could measure. Decades of decadence. This country is so screwed!
As I said earlier:
At Airliner speed it is 1 hour 14 minutes from Sig to Benghazi. AC-130 would be longer, a Fighter much less. Assuming there was a Ready alert , the could be up in less than an hour. Add the time ans we could have helped.
Whatever happened to the story of an ADM and a Gen being relieved for attempting to help? Some body ordered all these stand down, who?
A: Because the pRes_ _ent KNEW
that MANPADs and WMD were FINALLY
on their way to al Qaeda, the Moslem Brotherhood,
Iran and his other controllers and terrorist-friends.
And to his long-deserved sleep he went.
"Dead and raped Ambassadors. Murdered Patriotic Seals.
MANPADs to al Qaeda to kill innocents EVERYWHERE.
What difference does it make?"
There are some reasons why they didn’t fly there:
The core part of the Libyan op was MANPADS to “rebels”. This shadowed the intervention pattern when the Russians were in Afghanistan. There were something less than 22,000 MANPADS floating around North Africa, particularly in Bengazi —a clear shoot-down risk.
There was probably even some worry that the attack had been initiated specifically to cause the on-scene arrival of one or more large US transport/rescue aircraft into an AMBUSH, in a kind of “Blackhawk Down” imbroglio.
There’s the possibility that the plan was a prisoner swap gone bad, but a darker one is that higher-ups sensed the sensitivity of a compromised Large-Scale Smuggling Operation and simply hoped for a time that everyone in The Annex would be killed, thereby keeping it quiet.
We lived in the European theatre, and exactly where all these decisions are made. This testimony by General Boykin is true. We could have gotten planes there in plenty of time. Obama figures that most Americans are low information critters that just want to be told what to do. They believe anything as long as the free stuff keeps coming in. He forgets that of the rest of the nation, we have pretty much all had minimum one, and often many more family members to serve in the military. Or, we’ve served the military in some way. We are not all juveniles, even if it seems that all most live for is recreation. It was obvious from the get-go that there was SOME reason that these people were not rescued, and after watching this administration function (and I use that term loosely) the past 4 years, we are sure that what should have been done was not. The Obama admin. is VERY MUCH LIKE the Clintons’ in that they learned how to avoid responsibility, get around subpoenas, run out the clock on investigations by stalling and refusing to give any credible information, etc.
Personally, I’ve come to believe that Obama wanted Stevens kidnapped so he could exchange the blind sheik to get him back. But, instead of a kidnapping, it went wrong. To me, this makes the most sense, and you bet that the someone who had to give the order to stand down was THE ONE, himself. I pray that they finally find something that puts Obama’s lies in such an incredible light that even the left demand his resignation or impeachment.
Rotors were turning at NAS Sigonella. Someone stood them down.
I guess an Ambassador, an assistant, and two SEALS were not worth it but gun control is.
Probably not realistic, given Hollywood politics, but this entire event deserves a movie - possibly a keystone cops sorta thing, but serious since at the end people die.
I guess no matter what resources our government has, someone needs to make a decision for use and when that doesn’t happen, gather around the wagons and cover all butts all the way to the top.
Three Facts
Fact One:
1) Only the POTUS can authorize a CBA (cross border authority) command for a rescue mission in a foreign nation.
Plus Fact Two:
2) No rescue mission was attempted.
Equals Fact Three:
3) 0bama turned his back on 41 State Dept. and CIA employees refusing to issue a CBA command and went to bed so he could go to Las Vegas the next day.
Not when you hate America like Obama and Clinton do. Plus, if it turned into a real fire fight it would have brought to light Obama's illegal gun running to the Jihadis. If this were a GOP administration this would be front and center 25/8.
