The True Story Behind the Benghazi Attack

Watched it last night. Those guys went through hell and "left out to dry" by the powers (Hillary/Obama) in Washington.

It's included with Amazon Prime. If you haven't seen it, you should.

    I watched it over the weekend. Pretty reminiscent of the goings on documented by Black Hawk Down.[:(]
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Wife and I watched it too.

    It seemed their was plenty of time to get help to these folks.

    The Civilian contractors along with the embassy needed help badly.

    We need fast air support and/or cruise missile/drone fire power for our assets on the ground when they are in trouble.

    I don't like Americans being elsewhere and not getting support from the Governments/civilians we are their to assist either. You work with us and assist or we leave and if we have to be there scorched earth policy.
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    It wouldn't have taken much to save them:
    1) A FAST team
    2) An armed drone
    3) 2 fighter jets

    I wasn't there, & I wasn't at the State Dept war room. But, I can imagine the conversation when the Secretary of State was phoned:
    "Madam Secretary, the embassy in Benghazi has been attacked; the ambassador is in imminent danger."
    "Don't you ever f
    phone me at night again, or I'll have your g-- d--- a-- out on the street." Slam!

    I also suspect that there's a recording of the conversation; it's in Harry Reid's top desk drawer.

    Heck they could have even supplied them with some RPG's and they would have fared better.

    Good analogy Black Hawk Down/13 Hours Clinton's choice...

    Thank God they are out of the decision making process.
