Subject of the movie: 13 hours. Tonite REELZ showed "the truth about Benghazi."
12th anniversary of 9-11. Militants were acting up, around many of our embassies. Benghazi, Libya. We were attacked Americans died, including the ambassador. Watching a review of the mess tonight my first thought, "what did we do to retaliate?" Consulate was destroyed, CIA annex 1 mile away, was destroyed. This program followed the individuals and how they died. Not easy to watch. Burning to death or smoke inhalation, not a pleasant death.
Heres what I found. Re: our retaliation
"On September 12, U.S. President Barack Obama condemned "this outrageous attack" on U.S. diplomatic facilities[169] and stated that "since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others."[169] After referring to "the 9/11 attacks", "troops who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan", and "then last night, we learned the news of this attack in Benghazi"[169] the President urged, "As Americans, let us never, ever forget that our freedom is only sustained because there are people who are willing to fight for it, to stand up for it, and in some cases, lay down their lives for it." Whoa Nelly, condemnation and speechification.
I'll bet that showed them. Form a committee, do a study, raise the alert level. Can you imagine what Trump would do? I believe this weakness, was a viscous cycle and only invited more. Obama was a slick talker. But a little light in the loafers. In this 1 case, playing the victim, resulted in pro-America demonstrations, twitter postings etc. whopee.
Wheres the deterrent. thugs, mobs respect one thing. Its not turning the other cheek. We're talking about Libya, directly across the Mediterranean from Italy. qrf forces were there. The defense dork, chief joint chiefs etc met, but were paralyzed by data lack. Redirect a satellite, laubch planes for overview, Nope, nothing but excuses. I'm pretty sure this would have been Bidens approach. He demonstrated as much in his appeasement mind set.
As an american, I bleed inside when representatives of America die while serving us. The people in the embassy died waiting for help. Having a leader thats a little unpredictable serves us well. Put them back on their heels a little. Whether named as such,. this was ISIS inspired. The long and short, we did nothing but talk.
Disgraceful.
