I'm truly shocked!
I've had to rub my eyes reading the article below even though i'm all too aware of just how expendable brave american soldiers are. The rules of engagement in Iraq and Afghanistan put allied lives at risk every day.
How Nato soldiers are still forced to train their enemies in Afghanistan despite being attacked and killed by their students and Afghan colleagues daily is mind boggling. Any sensible nation would just pull out and let the country implode. Whether Nato leaves now or in two years the result will be the same. The Pakistani ISS funded and trained Taliban will be back in Kabul even before Karzai has had begun his exile with a celebratory feast of London pork and a sampling of that city's finest 'hostesses' even before the last British and American boots have hopped into their helicopters taking them out of the god forsaken place.
So it's one thing that your enemies wish to kill you, even that you are given impossible tasks to perform such as 'nation building' in barbaric islamic countries where being merciful is to give a young girl only a hundred rather than two hundred lashes before her stoning or burning to death for 'blasphemy' or 'adultery'.
But when your superiors abandon you to your fate whilst you are under fire, not because there are no assets in place for your rescue, but because your leaders fear upsetting islamist 'allies' who are firing at you, at your embassy, your ambassador, it's patently obvious that the regime you serve is rotten, rotten to the core.
Nothing can be more representative of the disease that infests the western world and the USA nowadays than the fact that the US military was on hand and ready and flying over the battle zone with powerful weapons ready and even locked on to blast the Libyan jihadists up to heaven and into 72 pairs of loving arms. Yet the US aircraft were not allowed to fire on the mortar crew raining death down on the americans in Benghazi! That just 4 americans died was moreover only due to CIA agents disobeying orders to 'stand down.'
If nothing changes in the western world and in the USA then western civilisation does not deserve to survive. A more base act of servile appeasment and abandonment of your own and your friends can not be found since Chamberlain's 1938 sacrificing of plucky Chechoslovakia to nazi Germany for 'peace in our time'.
I am not american but am truly outraged and sickened by what the article below reveals.
I don't believe the americans who as a nation were once been duped by a foreign man nurtured in Kenya and Indonesia on hatred for all that the US stands for, and who has done all in his power to undermine US interests and those of its allies around the world, are stupid enough to wish for a second helping.
Obama has already been a disaster, but that this man will have another 4 years to 'improve' on the mayhem he's already wreaked in the middle east is unthinkable.
As I said before I have no sympathy with the west and Israel hating US ambassador Stephens who died not in the service of his country and western civilisation but in the cause of radical islamic and west hating regimes. He topped off his long history of treachery to his own people and america's greatest ally Israel in service of their enemies. He was gun running for the islamists set to take over Syria with the help of the Turkish islamist trojan horse in Nato.
What other nefarious schemes that man was involved in can only be guessed at.
I do grieve for the brave american staff members and their protectors who were sacrificed by their superiors for no reason that can possibly be justified. Their families will be horrified if they ever do get to read of just how lamentable the cowardice, no the treachery of those who were meant to be there to give the orders to protect their loved ones and didn't. The families' pain will be intensified by knowing that but for the absence of a simple word of command to overwhelming US forces circling overhead, to fire at those attacking them, their loved ones would still be alive and able to live their lives and grow old in peace and in their homes.
But then the Obama supporting media in the USA is doing its best to suppress this story, so strange as it may seem, the families may never even find out.
My great fear is that in Israel the rot is also spreading, with even generals being swayed by the plausibility of its enemies who blithely state that 'the occupation is at the root of all problems in Israel and the middle east'. Arabs never tell journalists that what they mean by 'occupation' is any land upon which an Israeli lives whether in Jerusalem or Tel-Aviv. And journalists never dig deeper than the bland condemnatory statements of Israel. Even Israelis i've met don't have a clue about the genocidal intent of arabs in Judea and Samaria and Gaza. They and Hamas engage in constant incitement to commit violent jihad to kill all jews. This ignorance by jews themselves goes a long way to explain the breast beating of jews who think that arabs in Israel and Judea and Samaria are hard done by, that it is Israel that is to blame for the hatred shown to it.
The IDF has lawyers attached to every company of soldiers, telling them what they can and can not do. Israeli soldiers are terrified lest they be hauled before a court martial for having harmed an enemy civilian hid amongst Hamas terrorists firing missiles or mortars. I don't advocate ever abusing even enemy civilians. But when Israeli politicians are afraid to defend their cities against missiles by taking the battle to the enemy, who do not give soldiers their backing when defending themselves and their people, the battle is already half lost. Witness the treachery at the US consulate in Libya.
I don't expect any senior heads to roll in the US over this debacle. The Obama and US military damage limitation group is already hard at work spreading lies and innuendo over previous revelations about this sorry affair. At the most madam Clinton will find a way to take the blame for these latest revelations and apologise if no other sacrificial lamb, preferably a sergeant of lieutenant even a colonel can be found to take the rap.
Israel must understand what Obama means when he says he has Israel's back and apply this knowledge to any promises made by the Obama administration regarding Iran:
AC-130U Gunship was On-Scene in Benghazi, Obama Admin Refused to Let It Fire (Updated)
by
Bob Owens
If you don’t get torches-and-pitchforks irate about this, you are not an American:
The security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up support from a Specter gunship, which is commonly used by U.S. Special Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams on the ground involved in intense firefights. The fighting at the CIA annex went on for more than four hours — enough time for any planes based in Sigonella Air base, just 480 miles away, to arrive. Fox News has also learned that two separate Tier One Special operations forces were told to wait, among them Delta Force operators.
There were two AC-130Us deployed to Libya in March as part of Operation Unified Protector.
The AC-130U is a very effective third-generation fire-support aircraft, capable of continuous and extremely accurate fire onto multiple targets. It has been used numerous times in Iraq and Afghanistan to save pinned-down allied forces, and has even been credited with the surrender of the Taliban city of Kunduz
It was purpose-built for a select number of specific mission types, including point-defense against enemy attack. It was literally built for the kind of mission it could have engaged in over Benghazi, if the administration had let it fire. As the excerpt above clearly shows, we had assets on the ground “painting” the targets with the laser.
An AC-130U flies in a counter-clockwise “pivot turn” around the target, with the weapons all aimed out the left side of the aircraft.
There are two state-of-the-art fire-control systems (FCSs) in a AC-130U, using television sensors,infrared sensors, and synthetic aperture strike radar. These fire control systems can see through the dark of night, clouds, and smoke.
The two FCSs on the AC-130U control a 25mm Gatling gun for area suppression, a precision 40mm cannon, and a 105mm cannon which can engage hard targets.
What this means is that we have the forces in the air and on the ground to have stopped the attack at any point, eliminating the terrorists and saving American lives.
