[QUOTE="GolfWhiskey, post: 2269856, member: 8068"] Wait what? Croatia is further from Benghazi than most of Italy. How did you get 3 hours? A couple things here. I don't know of anyone who has expressly blamed the military for the attack on the consulate. If anything I keep hearing people say that the military was waiting in the wings with every available resource but Obama was just sitting in a bunker watching a live feed of the staff as they were murdered while eating popcorn and cackling. Seriously the Benghazi attacks have become like a nexus of all the irrational hate directed at Obama. There's so much to hate on him for - and no reason to include this incident. F16s? What in the holy bejeezus are F16s going to go to help rescue 4 embattled consulate employees in a burning building surrounded by thousands of angry protesters, mostly civilian? Should they have just dropped a few JDAMs onto the crowd for kicks? I just don't get it. As I stated before, none of these small QRF forces would have been nearly enough to attempt a rescue operation in a fubar situation like that. An entire 150 man assault force consisting of Rangers, SEALs, Delta Force, and over a dozen helicopters got their teeth kicked in at Mogadishu - a town lacking any sort of AA or organized paramilitary strength. To suggest that a much smaller, less elite force would have been capable of inserting into a city with much more capable defenses and succeeding in rescuing the ambassador and his staff is a huge stretch - I mean like Tom Clancy-level stretch.
