AC130H Spectre gunships at Djibouti and Sigonella were 'on call' for Benghazi
2016-05-17
BLUF: [American Thinker] Hillary Rodham Clinton is unworthy of the presidency and was up to her eyeballs in the Benghazi disaster, the failure to mount a rescue, and the cover-up of the incompetence that resulted in the deaths of four Americans – Ambassador Chris Stevens, Ty Woods, Glen Doherty and Sean Smith. Criminal negligence is not a qualification for higher office.

#7  I was thinking this gives more dimension to what Mike K shared with US last week. If this account is so, It changes only QRF structure yet, not it's effectiveness.

#4  Consider that the CIA compound defense contractor force HAD a laser designator along with assorted small arms. Its not something a private contractor keeps in his rucksack as a rule, so odds are it was an issue piece of gear by the company or the agency. Be definition does that not speak of QRF contingency planning, and if Sigonella is a 45 min C-130 Spectre flight time away, and when the alert went up someone had the forethought to warm up the alert bird, who would have had reason to stop it? Unless you didn't want the entire reason for the Agency presence in Libya buying up weapons for something to remain unseen.......Remind me again whose idea the Libya fiasco was? QED

#3  There is still one major piece of the puzzle missing and that would explain what Hillary Clinton fears most about the Benghazi episode. I am of the belief that with regard to the Clintons you must always 'follow the money.' The Clintons stood to benefit financially in some way from Qadafi's demise. I believe they also stood to benefit in some way from the shipment of arms from Benghazi to Turkish ports. Now, who more than an American ambassador would know where those bodies are buried? Who more than an American ambassador who got religion could be a threat to the Clinton machine?

#2  Let me see. The successful raid on bin Laden's compound was May 2, 2011. The attack on Benghazi was September 11, 2012, just 12 months later. Coming hot of the heals of the succesful UBL takedown, one might assume the concept of a similar operation was at least discussed in executive channels. One might also assume Clinton participated, or was at least 'info-copied.' Or have I gone too far again.

#1  I'm still waiting on all the missing Benghazi emails from Clinton's private server.
