Hillary Clinton's Monumental Incompetence
OR,
The DISGUSTING Reality of BENGHAZI Exposed !
This is a perfect example of what happens when you put inexperienced
people and bureaucrats like Hillary Clinton in positions of military leadership
that require experience with situations where there is a need to act and react quickly
in making decisions in order to control developing militaristic scenarios, and then
who also select Czars and other leaders, both civilian and military, who are
equally inexperienced or incompetent and who are driven mainly or only by political
agenda, rather than by a recognition of the obvious, the factual, and the situational
reality.
Air Force expert on Benghazi
"Hands" Handley is a well-respected USAF fighter pilot. Here is his short resume of
accomplishments.
Colonel Phil "Hands" Handley is credited with the highest
speed air-to-air gun kill in the history of aerial combat. He flew
operationally for all but 11 months of a 26 year career, in aircraft such as
the F-86 Sabre, F-15 Eagle, and the C-130A Hercules. Additionally, he flew 275
combat missions during two tours in Southeast Asia in the F- 4D and F-4E. His
awards include 21 Air Medals, 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, and the Silver
Star.
Here is what Col. Handley wrote in response to Secretary of State Leon Panetta
and General Dempsey's claims that there was no time to send help to Benghazi

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-SEALs 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),
Hicks 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" so everyone
watching that feed knew damn well what was going on.
At 11:30 PM Woods, Doherty and five others leave Tripoli, arriving in
Benghazi at 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 ? Helloooo ???
Nonsense. Even 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-16s and advises the Command Post at NAS Signorelli 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 Signorelli 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 Signorelli 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-16s initial pass over the mob, in full
afterburner at 200 feet and 550 knots did not stop the attack in its tracks, a
few well placed strafing runs on targets of opportunity would assuredly do the
trick.
Were the F-16s fuel state insufficient to return to Signorelli 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 time our "leadership" get its 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 depends upon a Commander In Chief 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.
It also depends upon a Secretary of State who actually understood
"What difference did it make?", and a Secretary of Defense who was
watching the feed from the drone and understood what the attack consisted of
instead of making an immediate response that "One of the military tenants
is that you don't commit assets until you fully understand the tactical
situation."
YGBSM! ( "You Gotta Be
Shittin' Me".)
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 United States of America deserve
leadership that really does "have their back" when the chips are down.
FOR THOSE OF YOU HAVE ACTUALLY TAKEN THE TIME TO READ THIS, DO ONE
THING FOR ME AND FORWARD IT TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!
Just so we are ALL CLEAR, (and so that Hillary will know):
THIS IS WHY IT MATTERS:
TO AVOID THIS HAPPENING AGAIN !
(She's a military IDIOT of course !)
WHOMEVER GAVE THE "STAND DOWN" ORDER NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED!!!!
Handle it...!!!
