    Default Benghazi

    USS COLE - a small craft approached the port side of the destroyer, and an explosion occurred, creating a 40-by-40-foot gash in the ship's port side

    1st WTC attack - The World Trade Center bombing occurred on February 26, 1993, when a truck bomb was detonated below the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York, NY. The 1,336 lb (606 kg) urea nitrate–hydrogen gas enhanced device[1] was intended to knock the North Tower (Tower One) into the South Tower (Tower Two), bringing both towers down and killing thousands of people

    OK HERE IS MY POINT

    1. When they say they don't have enough intel to send in more troops (put more people in harms way) (while the attacks are occurring) then I am in 100% agreeance. There could have been a van or small vehichle waiting to level 3 city blocks killing hundreds of american reinforcements. PERIOD

    2. I know those two guys were heroic, but when you are told to STAND DOWN, there is a reason.

    3. Not one person on fox news will ever say that Obama acted correctly with Sandy even though he did everything RIGHT to prevent another Katrina. They just want to keep hammering on the Benghazi issue.

    What is wrong with sending in the AC130 that can blow the pimple off a gnats *** as 2 miles? OR sending in ARMED drone. They had the intel, they had the requests for help. So you are ok with sacrificing the lives of the ambassador and his entourage for their incompetence in Foreign affairs without even trying to help them?

    And you'd consider it ok to level a city in response? That is what an AC130 would do. It's a flying artillery platform, not a precsion weapon. An Apache might have been ok.

    Also, this wouldn't have happened under Gaddafi.

    Your ignorance in our military capabilities certainly shows on this one, Will. The AC130 Spectre (Spooky) can level a city, but it can also do a surgical strike and take a freckle off your face and leave your nose intact.

    Well, my knowledge of it comes from a level in COD. While I suppose it could take out individual people, I doubt it's quite as precise as you claim.
