Why No F-16's Sent To Benghazi?

[pismoe]

and to me , its just bad SYMBOLISM . Here we had Americans in harms way and they were abandoned to death while America did nothing because it was TOO Hard or inconveniant . Whats the old saying , ' no one left behind ' or something like that unless 'mrobama' and his people are in charge Gents .

What exactly do you think that an F-16 could have done to help the situation? F-16s are fairly shitty at ground support.

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.

------------------------------- so what , price of gas to high . They shoulda been sent but as i speculate , nothing was done because 'mrobama' and his people were in charge .

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

Obama ordered a special forces unit and a Marine FAST Platoon to move toward Benghazi.

It was just a grainy video. Let's move on, nothing to see here.

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.

Rubbish

Nope, the truth. I'm surprised Obama didn't claim to find out about Bengazi on the eleven o'clock news like other majors events.

February 17 Martyrs Brigade and Libyan Shield rescued the 38 Americans in the CIA Annex in Benghazi before the Marine FAST Platoon from Rota Spain arrived.

An hour into the attack, Obama was ordering General Dempsey to launch a crisis response to the situation in Benghazi, known as "Operation Jukebox Lotus."

Evidence shows the Ambassador was found by Libyans in the safe room, washed off and transported to a hospital. There is no evidence he was tortured. He was probably dead of smoke inhalation twenty minutes after the attack commenced.

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.

Did you give a damn about the 13 Benghazis during the Bush administration that killed over 50? How about the big time Benghazi in Beirut when that senile old coot Reagan was president? When a Benghaziist shows concern over the 25,000 dead and wounded who were searching for wmds in Iraq I might take them seriously. 8 (eight) separate Republican led Benghazi investigations found no wrong doing. Would you like 8 more?

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.

Oh wise one, master of otherwise unknown and mysterious information, please tell me. What secrets have you divined from the depths between thy ears as you sign in your armchair nestled deep in the backwoods?

'dempsey' , i think that he is a 'mrobama' boy same as 'rr .adm. kirby' and 'general petraus'. All perfumed princes in my opinion Slice .

Lol, did a great job, right? Obama could've got them out before the attack, i mean goodwill a private company. Knew enough to get their people out. I guess the elen o'clock news didn't give Obama a heads up.

Every day there is a new contest among the Trump sheep to see how can be the stupidest for the day, and right now you seem to have the lead.

Refueling in air takes time, extending their time to get there, it is also not the safest of operations. Couple this with the fact the F-16 is a shitty ground support aircraft as its minimum airspeed is too high to be effective at it.

But you think they should have taken the risk and flown around in circles at a few thousand feet just for the hell of it.

The administration did not give two shits about the people stationed in Benghazi... fact
