Classified cable warned consulate couldn't withstand 'coordinated attack'

Maybe you guys should take a stroll past a few embassies. Heck, visit one. They are not made to withstand attacks.

Well, if it wasn't meant to withstand an attack then we should not have left our people there without security.

Then you folks would be braying about showing weakness. In any case, where you folks when nyc was struck by terrorists on 09/11/2001. Blaming Bush? Heck no. You guys gave him a second term. And this after we knew his father funded Bin Laden in Afghanistan and GW took over a business started by Bin Laden's brother.

Not the point, we had assets available that would have stopped this.

Two squads of Marines could have stopped this.
Drones could have stopped this.
The C-130 over head could have stopped this.

The President refused to stop it.

and you know this how, general patton?

(smile) Can you tell me how a C-130 is armed?
Can you tell me the tactics two squads would use?
Can you tell me how the Drones are armed...and how they are sighted in?

No you can't.
You can't tell me how the fields of fire would have been set up....
You can't tell me what a 40mm Canon could do...you couldn't tell me what a 105 mm Canon would do...


You simply don't know.
We could have saved them all, all we needed was the Political will.
 
of course it will.

it's good that you're saving time by not waiting for it.

hack

Of course, I am a hack.

Never mind the intelligence community are the ones throwing Hussein under the bus.

link?
Petraeus sent what help he could. The eight guys from Tripoli were sent by the CIA, including Glenn Doherty who died at the annex. Petreaus is not planning to take the fall for this.

If you wish to defend Obama, fine, but for heaven's sake find something to say other than, "Well George Bush". Bush doesn't have fuck to do with the Obama administration's failure in Benghazi. Stick to the topic at hand.

having not studied the terrain, i have no idea how the squads would be deployed.

Lingering questions about Benghazi

By David Ignatius,

The attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi has become a political football in the presidential campaign, with all the grandstanding and misinformation that entails. But Fox News has raised some questions about the attack that deserve a clearer answer from the Obama administration.

of course there are questions to be answered.

How close was said C-130s?
 
I doubt Ambassador Stevens would have appreciated having a bunch of innocent Libyans slaughtered in order to kill a few evildoers. I'm sure President Obama had similar thinking.

WOW. I think Ambassador Stevens would love to be breathing right now. I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate being betrayed by his President. WTF is wrong with you?

It appears to me that there's little, that we don't know already that will be revealed on nov 17, which is the date I heard for the report......

The only real questions to be answered is, who told Susan rice to say what she said and, who said no to sending the delta team and air assets, please notice I said send, not use, they could have loitered waiting to drop or provide support Fire as appropriate , someone said no to that, and there in lies the rub and why they don't out it.

It's been 7 weeks and Obama can't even tell us if he was at the helm or if someone else was. How long should people wait?

(smile) You are out of your league and you know it, walk away.

Too bad one of the four weren't related to you, you'd feel differently.

The terrain is urban kid.....use your imagination.
I'm just a schlub who actually served....
I know what those cannons can do.....
I know how the drones are sighted in.....
....and I know where the marines would have been....there would have been a lot of dead terrorists.

Face it, you are a punk who swallows everything Bammy throws at you.

If they can't figure out what happened in 7 weeks, I'd say that is a problem. This is not that complicated. They are simply trying to run out the clock and keep this under wraps until after the election.
