Finally, finally, the truth of the fiasco in Libya is starting to come out in the mainstream news. All of the things being reported on radio news today have been known for several weeks, why has it taken them so long to report the WHOLE truth? Or are MSNBC, CNN, and the rest of them reporting it even now? Or still trying to hide the facts until after the election????
In case you've been well insulated from the world, here's a quick rundown. Ambassador Stevens AND the security chief had been reporting the deteriorating situation and requesting increased forces for months before the attack. What was the administrations response? They PULLED OUT a security detachment that had been assigned to the embassy, over the strident protestations of the head of that detachment (a 20 plus year Special Forces colonel). The very day of the attack, Stevens had cabled another request detailing the need for more boots on the ground.
Now that's not the worst of it folks. If any of you reading this are vets, or have a family member or friend in the service, you're going to have steam coming out your ears when you hear this:
The former Seals serving as embassy security people were DENIED any support during the attack 3 times! We had air assets available that could have been on scene within 30 minutes of the first call for help. DENIED. We had Hellfire armed drones that could have been on site in less than 30 minutes. DENIED. We had boots on the ground that could have been there within an hour. DENIED.
This is not the first time, people. The current ROE in Afghanistan denies artillery and air support to our guys if it's needed anywhere near buildings where a civilian MIGHT be killed. The politically correct bastards in Washington have decided to sacrifice our troops to avoid affronting anyone.

One thing that every American Soldier and Marine has drilled into him is : You DON'T leave ANYONE on the battlefield. You DO NOT EVER, ever, leave a wounded buddy. You don't leave his body. Everyone comes home, one way or another.
So now they try and put the spin on it. We didn't know what was happening, we didn't have enough intel. BULLSHIT, they were watching satellite and drone video in the White House situation room.
I am so angry at these scum in D.C. I can hardly write this. ANYONE involved in the decision to deny support should be tried for treason, and EXECUTED by firing squad!!!
