Again, the administration told a bold face lie (a shitty lie that made no sense) about what sparked an attack that was clearly planned to the American people for months. The MM pushed that until it was proven otherwise (like it ever needed to be)...but youāre going to go along with the rest of the administrations story on what happened...and then take it further and call the survivors liars, who were fighting for their lives, waiting for air cover that their buddies died laser designating targets for in vain.
And your not going to take a second and ask some simple questions like:
Why did the administration lie both about the cause of the attack, and lie about it being a coordinated attack at all?
What were we doing in Libiya still when almost all of our allies pulled out long before that?
Why wasnāt the extra security given to Stevens that he requested for over and over for months, and even sent out an urgent message a week before attack saying he needed extra security ASAP?
Why did the contractors on the ground expect air cover that clearly never came, to the point where they were laser designating targets instead of shooting back up until they died?
Why is the administration busying itself with destroying weapons they deemed too old for Libya?
Why did the administration pass the buck on questions of gun running to the CIA?
If the CIA wasnāt involved with gun running, how did they not know about massive shipments of weapons happening within walking distance from them, from a well known arms dealer in their backyard, headed for our NATO ally turkey, and then distributed to ārebelsā in Syria?
If the CIA was running guns, and the administration said they didnāt know about that or not...how the hell did the administration not know what their own CIA was doing?
But you totally believe no stand down order was given while a 7 hour battle raged that the whitehouse got prime seats too via 24/7 drone surveillance. They totally sent help from Tripoli, which was totally better than help from a carrier group, because a carrier group couldnāt handle that kind of heat, it was way too dangerous for them. But hey, hereās a better idea, Tripoli is only a little bit over 600 miles from Benghazi, letās send a couple of SUVs over with some agents to help, thatāll do the trick. Itās a 12 hour drive, but itās not like helicopters go 300 mph, or jets are supersonic or anything like that...what is this, back to the future part II, come on.
So the administration decided it was too dangerous for the carrier group to intervene, but before that they ignored all requests from Stevens begging for more security. So an ambassador could handle the heat, not a carrier group? Instead, we sent guys all the way from Tripoli, and that was somehow a better option? Thatās the story youāre going with. Occams Razor?
