Wow. So many lies, packed into a single, scary, image. The past 8 years, considering that this presidency started out with our biggest economic crisis, since the Great Depression.
Tell that to the millions of Americans, who actually have insurance, today, when they had none before.
@lov2smile: Oh, yeah, about that helicopter. The record shows, that the military, not the diplomats, gave orders not to go in. At that point, the Ambassador, was dead, from smoke inhalation. Here's Gregory Hick's account:
[quote]A small team of Special Forces operatives was ready to fly from Tripoli to Benghazi last year after Libyan insurgents attacked the U.S. mission there, but was told it was not authorized to board the flight by regional military commanders, according to a career State Department official scheduled to testify before Congress on Wednesday.
Gregory Hicks, then deputy chief of the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya, told investigators for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that U.S. officials had persuaded the Libyan government to allow the Special Forces operatives to board the rescue flight from Tripoli to Benghazi. But an officer received a phone call telling them to stand down before they left for the airport, according to excerpts of his account made available to NBC News on Monday. That conversation occurred after the U.S. ambassador to Libya and another American had been killed in the initial attack, but hours before a second attack that killed two other Americans.
Hicks quoted a Special Forces commander as telling him, "I have never been so embarrassed in my life, that a State Department officer has bigger balls than somebody in the military," referring to his willingness to authorize the mission.
U.S. military officials confirmed Hicks' account late Monday, but said the team was reviewing security measures at the Embassy and was not equipped for combat.
The Special Forces soldiers would have been the second group of U.S. government personnel to travel to Benghazi. Earlier, six Americans flew from Tripoli to Benghazi to attempt to aid the embattled personnel at the diplomatic mission.
Sources told NBC News that Hicks told investigators that the team that was denied permission to fly to Benghazi consisted of just four Special Operations soldiers and that the flight did not arrive in time for their presence to have had an impact in the fighting. Two Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were killed in the initial attack on the Benghazi consulate, which began just before 10 p.m. on Sept. 11. Two former Navy SEALs died in a mortar attack on a nearby U.S. diplomatic annex early on Sept. 12, shortly before the flight from Tripoli arrived.
Hicks also said that the U.S. did not seek permission from the Libyan government to scramble aircraft to respond to the attack, saying he believed that the show of airpower would have intimidated the Libyan Islamists blamed for the attack.
“I believe if we had been able to scramble a fighter or aircraft or two over Benghazi as quickly as possible after the attack commenced,” said Hicks, “I believe there would not have been a mortar attack on the annex in the morning because I believe the Libyans would have split. They would have been scared to death that we would have gotten a laser on them and killed them. “[/quote]
@lov2smile: I thought she did not allow the helicopter, with a rescue team to go. So, now that I posted what actually happened, you're going with the "Ambassador pleaded for months" angle.
Let's recap: you claim that Ambassador Stevens was tortured, raped and burnt for 7 years. It did not happen.
Next, you claim that Hillary prevented a Helicopter, carrying a rescue team from taking off. It did not happen.
Next, you're going with the "Ambassador pleaded for months for more security" angle.
Sounds like you're in denial about President Obama's accomplishments. I have my own reason for not liking him. Obama is boring! No sex scandals! He's loving and faithful to his wife. *snore*
Here comes our human toilet Trump!!! Now this will be fun!!!
