Betrayal in Benghazi

Phil “Hands” Handley Colonel, USAF (Ret.)

The combat code of the US Military is that we don’t abandon our dead or wounded on the battlefield. In US Air Force lingo, fighter pilots don’t run off and leave their wingmen. If one of our own is shot down, still alive and not yet in enemy captivity, we will either come to get him or die trying.

Among America ‘s fighting forces, the calm, sure knowledge that such an irrevocable bond exists is priceless. Along with individual faith and personal grit, it is a sacred trust that has often sustained hope in the face of terribly long odds.

The disgraceful abandonment of our Ambassador and those brave ex-SEAL’s who fought to their deaths to save others in that compound is nothing short of dereliction-of-duty.

Additionally, the patently absurd cover-up scenario that was fabricated in the aftermath was an outright lie in an attempt to shield the President and the Secretary of State from responsibility.  It has been over eight months since the attack on our compound in Benghazi . The White House strategy, with the aid of a “lap dog” press has been to run out the clock before the truth is forthcoming.

The recent testimonies of the three “whistle blowers” have reopened the subject and hopefully will lead to exposure and disgrace of those responsible for this embarrassing debacle. It would appear that the most recent firewall which the Administration is counting on is the contention “that there were simply no military assets that could be brought to bear in time to make a difference” mainly due to the unavailability of tanker support for fighter aircraft.

This is simply BS, regardless how many supposed “experts” the Administration trot out to make such an assertion.

The bottom line is that even if the closest asset capable of response was half-way around the world, you don’t just sit on your penguin ass and do nothing.  The fact is that the closest asset was not half-way around the world, but as near as Aviano Air Base, Italy where two squadrons of F-16Cs are based.

Consider the following scenario (all times Benghazi local): When Hicks in Tripoli receives a call at 9:40 PM from Ambassador Stevens informing him “Greg, we are under attack!” (his last words), he immediately notifies all agencies and prepares for the immediate initiation of an existing “Emergency Response Plan.”

At AFRICON, General Carter Ham attempts to mount a rescue effort, but is told to “stand down”. By 10:30 PM an unarmed drone is overhead the compound and streaming live feed to various “Command and Control Agencies” and everyone watching that feed knew damn well what was going on.

At 11:30 PM Woods, Doherty and five others leave Tripoli, arriving in Benghaziat 1:30 AM on Wednesday morning, where they hold off the attacking mob from the roof of the compound until they are killed by a mortar direct hit at 4:00 AM.

So nothing could have been done, eh? Nonsense. If one assumes that tanker support really “was not available” what about this:

When at 10:00 PM AFRICON alerts the 31st TFW Command Post in Aviano Air Base, Italy of the attack, the Wing Commander orders preparation for the launch of two F-16′s and advises the Command Post at NAS Sigonella to prepare for hot pit refueling and quick turn of the jets.

By 11:30 PM, two F-16Cs with drop tanks and each armed with five hundred 20 MM rounds are airborne. Flying at 0.92 mach they will cover the 522 nautical miles directly to NAS Sigonella in 1.08 hours. While in-route, the flight lead is informed of the tactical situation, rules of engagement, and radio frequencies to use.

The jets depart Sigonella at 1:10 AM with full fuel load and cover the 377 nautical miles directly to Benghazi in 0.8 hours, arriving at 1:50 AM which would be 20 minutes after the arrival of Woods, Doherty and their team.

Providing that the two F-16′s initial pass over the mob, in full afterburner at 200 feet and 550 knots did not stop the attack in its tracks, only a few well placed strafing runs on targets of opportunity would assuredly do the trick.

Were the F-16′s fuel state insufficient to recover at Sigonelli after jettisoning their external drop tanks, they could easily do so at Tripoli International Airport , only one-half hour away.

As for those hand-wringing naysayers who would worry about IFR clearances, border crossing authority, collateral damage, landing rights, political correctness and dozens of other reasons not to act” screw them. It is high time that our “leadership” get their priorities straight and put America’s interests first.

The end result would be that Woods and Doherty would be alive. Dozens in the attacking rabble would be rendezvousing with “72 virgins” and a clear message would have been sent to the next worthless POS terrorist contemplating an attack on Americans that it is not really a good idea to “tug” on Superman’s cape.

Of course all this would depend upon a Commander In Chief that was more concerned with saving the lives of those he put in harm’s way than getting his crew rested for a campaign fund raising event in Las Vegas the next day. As well as a Secretary of State that actually understood “What difference did it make?”, or a Secretary of Defense whose immediate response was not to the effect that “One of the military tenants is that you don’t commit assets until you fully understand the tactical situation.” Was he not watching a live feed from the unarmed drone, and he didn’t understand the tactical situation?

Ultimately it comes down to the question of who gave that order to stand down? Whoever that coward turns out to be should be exposed, removed from office, and face criminal charges for dereliction of duty. The combat forces of the Untied States of America deserve leadership that really does “have their back” when the chips are down.

White House Encouraging Corruption

What does it take to impeach a President who is running the
most powerful country in the world?
Is it because, we the people, cannot believe that we have a
United States President,
that is, possibly, the most incompetent 'and' corrupt, in
history; and, therefore, we cannot wrap our minds around
that new phenomena, the "most?"

Benghazi:
President Obama never called Defense Secretary Panetta or
State Dept. Clinton during the Benghazi attack to find
out what was happening to Ambassador Stevens
or the other Americans who later died that night.
The President had the official photographer taking photos
of him during the bin Laden attack…minute to minute
details where he was that night.
Yet, President Obama "REFUSES" to comment on
"why he was absent" when Ambassador Stevens and 3 other
Americans were "being killed" during the Benghazi attack.
I would think that any person with a moral conscious would
have at least called to find out if they were alive or dead.
Was he too busy packing for his Las Vegas campaign
trip scheduled for the following day and had no interest ?

IRS Scandals
".. IRS, illegally released the tax applications of nine separate  
    conservative organizations to the left-wing group
    ProPublica.  The IRS claims that Thomas’ illegal release of
    private tax information was an “accident,” but the excuse is
    absurd.
         Thomas wasn’t the only IRS employee leaking the tax
    information of conservative groups to their enemies. Pro-
    marriage groups found their confidential information in the
    hands of gay marriage advocacy organizations.." who took this
    information and boycotted the Pro-marriage groups.

A few Democrats, during the IRS Congressional hearings today,
 blamed the American citizens who were 'targeted' by the IRS.
The comment was basically: you would not have been targeted,
 if you had not been against Obama's policies.

Political Ideology favoritism vs Constitutional law? 

Never mind that these Congressmen appeared to approve of
making the IRS, Obama's Gestapo: a political
secret police.
Obama said he had no clue this was happening
for 2 years "under" his Administration.

I think this answers the question:
Is the government too big to manage when the President
has no clue what is going on in his own administration?
He cannot keep up with all the scandals his administration 
generates.http://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/2013/06/04/white-house-counsel-robert-bauer-architect-of-irs-abuse/

Associated Press and Fox News media
     The DOJ allegedly, lied to a judge to get a warrant to spy
 on Fox News reporter, Rosen.
    The DOJ conducted a massive, gathering of information,
 secretly, on the Associated Press for 60  day.

  "...This is why Mr. Obama has become a tragic figure. He came in  
   with an optimistic tone of “let’s fix this.”
   In 2012 he simply looks for others to blame. ….
   While he may not have an official “enemies list” in writing like 
   Richard Nixon did, he certainly has
   spent far too much time demonizing private citizens for a sin 
   no greater than disagreeing with him…
   ….He needs division to govern because his goal is to 
   fundamentally transform a nation that a majority of
   Americans do not want changed. The only way to convert that 
   majority is through bullying. By intimidating and regulating  
   conservatives, they can be silenced out of existence…"

Obama ran for President of the United States for all the people; but then calls patriots of the Constitution the "enemy?"

Its not hard to believe, when you consider that he refuses to call the Ft Hood Massacre a "terrorist attack."
           "...a gunman, (Major Hasan) wearing an Army combat uniform shouted "Allahu Akbar!" —
          "God is great!" in Arabic — and opened fire in a crowded medical building where 
          deploying soldiers get vaccines and tests…" killing 13
           soldiers and seriously injuring far more.

As of this week, because Major Hasan is not considered
a 'terrorist' according to Obama, he is
allowed to defend himself, questioning the witnesses
he shot. He is a psychiatrist.
  
     "...At a hearing Tuesday, Osborn asked what evidence Hasan had to support his defense. Hasan  said Taliban leader Mullah Omar and "leadership of the Taliban in general" were in immediate danger from American troops on the Texas Army post, because "the U.S. has attacked and continued to attack the  Taliban."
http://www.dallasnews.com/news/state/headlines/20130604-fort-hood-shooting-suspect-says-he-was-protecting-taliban-from-u.s.-troops.ece

By calling it "workplace violence," instead of a terrorist attack, the Obama Administration, allows Major Hasan to continue to receive a salary paid for by the American taxpayers of which he has collected over $240,000;
and, at the same time,
it prevents the injured and dead American soldiers at the scene, to receive any combat medical benefits, pay or medals of honor. 

Whose side is this President on?

How many political party coverups and lies
before we see any justice?  Everyone in this Administration
who was sited for unethical or unjustly behavior still has a
job or was 'promoted.' Government employees are
still getting paid by the taxpayers that they are abusing.

Some blame previous Presidents for crimes they
committed; in order, to excuse this current President's
criminal or unethical activity against the American public.
  What does that solve?
It only perpetuates continuous unconstitutional, unethical
and criminal activity.

What does it take to impeach
a President? 

When one's integrity
and Soul is
more important than
the ideology of
a political party.
  

Our U-Haul Trip to Montana

For those of you who said the U-Haul trip to Montana from California would be
an adventure. It's not, as if, I never pitched a tent and walked through the woods
in blinding darkness, looking for a one-holer.
Don't ask me to do it again.

I can't tell which was more exciting: the torrent rains, potholes, or my husband
locking the keys in the truck.

Before we left, we knew that his secretary had her U-Haul stolen with
all of her valuables while it was parked in her driveway. Never seen again.
We took all kinds of precautions. Unbolting the battery at night, parking
the van in view of our hotel window, padlocking the storage door, and
syncing my iPad to remote tracking with the laptop computer in the truck.
Whenever we stopped on the road, I pulled out my pepper spray…all for not.
My guardian angels were watching over us.

Unloading the U-Haul went fast enough, I had time to unpack the library books
and flip through a book, I Am That.
The first page I landed on said that "to be spiritually enlightened is to 'not' want
for food, sex or to be afraid.
I thought, "I Am not That."
If being spiritually enlightened means to be 'void' of fear, physical desires and earthly
things; then this 'enlightened one' knows there is time to be spiritual
after I'm dead.  I will have, nothing but, spiritual time on my hands.

In the meantime, I still have fears of selling this home in California and moving permanently
to Montana.
