1. F-16s could have been sent to Benghazi
Part of the prevailing theory surrounding the events the night of the Benghazi attacks is that the Obama administration did not do enough militarily to respond to the crisis. Gregory Hicks — a Foreign Service Officer and the former Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya — claimed during his pre-hearing testimony that fighter jets could have been flown over Benghazi, preventing the second wave of the attack from occurring.
Ranking Member Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) questioned that statement, asking Hicks whether he disagreed with Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff Gen Martin Dempsey’s assessment that no air assets were in range the night of the attack. Hicks didn’t disagree, saying he was “speaking from [his] perspective” and what “veteran Libyan revolutionaries” told him, rather than Pentagon assessments.
what the fuck?
read that again...
notice it?
Gregory "whistleblower" Hicks made FoxNews cum on their shoes by saying in 'pretrial' that f-16's could have saved everyone if Obama had just deployed them..OHhhhh they finally had it. They finally had that single peice that would end the Obama presidency. After months and months they had their vindication with this 'whistle-blower'..
....but under sworn testimony.. when asked if he disagreed with with the fucking Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff that no, no planes were available.. he, this 'whistle-blower' who just last week regaled Hannity,Beck,Rush et al with his 'inside,whistle blowing' knowledge said "Uh, no I don't disagree.. I was just saying I thought there could be planes because I know planes fly in the air ya know.. I've seen them.. so I uh, figured there could have been planes.. besides, a local Libyan guy agreed with me.. So uh, did I blow the whistle loud enough Mr. Issa?"..

This.. THIS is what we're down to now? Some fucking guy who wasn't even there until after the fact, who doesn't know shit and instead knowing any thing more than the Pentagon, just inserts his own
opinion and the
opinion of a local "Veteran" Libyan militia guy IE Goat herder....That's who is going to bring down the Obama presidency for it's worse than water-gate and iran-contra conspiracy?
we should be so fucking ashamed of ourselves right now..
