Re: What on earth was going on over there?
What the Republicans did after the fact doesn't change that the Benghazi attacks was a ludicrous arms deal in a very dangerous part of the world that went very wrong.
No less than 3 people died "doing good work" trying to keep the ambassador Stevens from getting killed. That no air support came from NAS Sigonella or Aviano Air Force base in Italy tells me that someone higher up in the chain of command hung Ambassador Stevens out to dry along with everyone else at the consulate and the annex.
Why they didn't send even one F-16 or F/A-18 the 1,000 or so miles from Aviano to Benghazi or the 500 or so miles from Sigonella to Benghzi to help is anyone's guess but they could have been scrambled when the attack started and arrived before it ended.
