THE BATTLING BOYS OF BENGHAZI
We're the battling boys of Benghazi
No fame, no glory, no paparazzi.
Just a fiery death in a blazing hell
Defending our country we loved so well.
It wasn't our job, but we answered the call,
fought to the Consulate and scaled the wall.
We pulled twenty Countrymen from the jaws of fate
Led them to safety, and stood at the gate.
Just the two of us, and foes by the score,
But we stood fast to bar the door.
Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,
So we fought, and we fought, and we fought 'til we died.
We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,
But Barack Obama didn't give a damn.
Just two dead seals who carried the load?
No thanks to us.........we were just "Bumps In The Road".
So will this reach every American with a computer? Or do we act like the press and give a pass to the incompetent people who literally sat there in the White House and watched the Seal's execution on live streaming video and did absolutely nothing?
First off. No one "watched" the attack on live streaming video.
Second off. The 2 "SEALS" that died were contracted by the CIA.
As in..according to Geneva? They weren't suppose to be there.
Firstly, yes there was live feed, plenty of it:
Various video footage
The digital camera aboard what defense officials have described as an unarmed surveillance drone, meanwhile, was one of several that recorded portions of the Benghazi attack.
Closed-circuit security cameras fixed to the consulates outer security walls also captured images.
A senior State Department official said during an Oct. 9 background briefing that one camera on the main gate of the Benghazi diplomatic mission showed a large number of men, armed men, flowing into the compound at about 9:40 p.m. on Sept. 11 the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the U.S.
Footage from that camera is thought to be what Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper, the Obama administrations top intelligence official, has shown to lawmakers on Capitol Hill during two recent classified briefings about the Benghazi attack.
It was very difficult to watch, Rep. Thomas J. Rooney, Florida Republican and a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said Dec. 5 after one of the briefings. That is U.S. sovereign territory, and for people to just walk in like a street mob and light the embassy on fire it just made you feel extremely helpless.
It is unclear whether footage from the surveillance drone has been included in Mr. Clappers briefings.
Defense Department officials have said the drone did not arrive over the Benghazi compound until about two hours after the militants stormed through the facilitys gates.
Critical observers, including one family member of the men who were killed, have questioned whether officials monitoring the drone video missed a chance to launch a more aggressive rescue mission or a counterstrike on the militants.
