There are a lot of lies, misinformation, myths and conspiracy theories regarding why no F-16's from Aviano Air Base - situated in Aviano, Italy, approximately 50 miles north of Venice - were sent to Benghazi.

I know why.

Ask me and I'll tell you.

What exactly do you think that an F-16 could have done to help the situation? F-16s are fairly shitty at ground support.
 
Because Stevens went to bed like any other night. Can anyone say Surprise Attack?
 
The Obama Admin, and Hillary were running guns to terrorists in Libya. The Ambassador, and staff knew about it. They quickly became EXPENDABLE, purposely. That's why no aircraft, including C-130 gunships were sent. They could have avoided the American deaths but were TOLD to stand down.

It was just about a video anyway.

The terrorist intercepted the guns, Stevens wanted to be there. His own sister said not to blame Clinton.
 
Now lets talk about those servicemen killed in Nigeria, and lets talk about servicemen killed under Trump. Many more than under Obama I've read.
 
Stevens was a Far Left, gay man. His entire family are Far Left. He was a friend of the Obama Admin yet was sacrificed anyway. He was expendable to them. Hillary, Obama, and Susan Rice LIED.
 
just my OPINION but they shoulda been sent ----------- simply beng there and buzzing the compound and their mere presence in the area would have been
intimidating . Reason that it wasn't done is because it was 'mrobama' and his people that were in charge so no help was sent in my opinion .

An F-16 would not have been a good tool for the situation in Benghazi.

General Ham testified he had not ordered any fighter aircraft at Aviano to be placed on alert in the days leading up to September 11 based on his assessment of the threat intelligence and the probability the type of attacks that would most likely occur would be small scale attacks. Because of this, he believed if any attack were to occur, fighter aircraft would not be the right tool to respond. Some other military officials agreed with General Ham's assessment that fighter aircraft would likely not be the right tool to respond to potential events in North Africa.

This is correct, the F-16 would have been useless in such a situation.

It is also about 1000 miles between the two locations flying, which means the F-16s would have had to refuel in air at least once, if not twice depending on how long they stayed in the area.

Can you post evidence to support your claim that the Obama Admin, and Hillary were running guns to terrorists in Libya? Thanks.

The American commander in Benghazi never requested any sort of air support.

When you examine the "exact words" John Tiegen says the CIA Chief used to cancel the rescue mission, you realize he's lying.

The American commander in Benghazi never requested an F-16 to buzz the diplomatic mission.
