June 6, 201610 yr To clarify they would not have made it. Again I didn't say it. Trey Gowdy did. So between 0:08 and 0:16... "...said that nothing could be done to save the four Americans. Is that true?" Gowdy: "No sir. ..." The initial attack lead to two quick deaths/murders of Stevens and Smith. The CIA staff deaths were much later during the 9-hour military-like assault (Doherty and Woods were killed in a well executed mortar attack) on the CIA 'annex' that housed over three dozen Americans. 2
June 6, 201610 yr Video in link above: At 0:56 to 1:01: "The attack starts at 3:42 eastern time. Ends at approximately 11:40 PM that night." (so 8 hours) "At 4:06 an ops alert goes out across the State Department. Says this - mission under attack, armed men, shots fired, explosions heard." The "fog of war' excuse is only that - an excuse. An excuse for inaction. Every State Department and Military installation worldwide goes on alert in this scenario. 8 to 9 hours. Nothing done. Except for light response team from Tripoli headed up by mercenaries who had to ground evac the CIA personnel even with many 'seriously' wounded. And that took more time. I actually think the inaction was directed from the WH and CIA, not State. A stack of attacker bodies in the streets would have obviously been a political election problem and may have risked exposing the CIA mission of the 'annex'. But HRC had to go with the flow. I still think that is why Susan Rice did the Sunday morning rounds pushing the video. But HRC was in charge of State at the time and much of this is on her.
June 6, 201610 yr It's been over. Indeed. I can't help but feel many Republicans, when they reflect on the past few months, are stunned at who they ended up with as their nominee.
June 6, 201610 yr Read the transcript. That's why I linked to it. The Q&A was far more probing than the "friendly Fox chat" between Pirro and Trump that I stumbled upon last night. What a complete waste of time that was. Pirro is a waste of space.
June 6, 201610 yr Hillary completely dodged the 2A question today. Like someone else said on here she has not faced any tough questions. She is what she wants to be in the moment.
June 6, 201610 yr Who is the liberal press? What percent of the media and press is liberal? 90% at least... Imagine if there was a Trump Family Foundation that took in hundreds of millions of dollars from people and countries all over the world...many of them known human rights violators (who treat women like property and openly kill gay people). Imagine if Trump or his family was paid tens of millions of dollars to give speeches around the world by leaders who do horrific things to its citizens...or to Wall Street bankers... My guess is that the Trump Family Foundation would get slightly more scrutiny than the Clinton Family Foundation, which IMO is one of the biggest shams ever...
