"Ultimately, it was my decision that said no, not the right response in this circumstance," Ham said.
Brig. Gen. Scott Zobrist, then the wing commander at Aviano, had similar worries. He said that, even if called right away, it would have taken 20 hours to get jets to Benghazi from the base in Italy normally used for training flights.
Pilots would have to be recalled from their homes, bombs loaded onto planes, the 1,000-mile route planned. The jets would need refueling along the way, which meant coordinating with tanker planes stationed in England — something that typically takes days to plan.

They didn't even prepare part 2 so as to execute such a plan.
Do you have an original thought or are you going to just copy and paste shit over and over again?
