Any what if’s applied to one military group lending assistance applies to the other.
You can’t really depend on the internet to translate Klingon to English.
So, Magiver, why do you think all the professionals in the field think you’ve got a simplistic, cartoonish view of how deploying special forces work?
Do you think it’s a conspiracy, or maybe are they right?
I was hoping the arguments presented by you could stay based upon what actually happened in Benghazi that day.
So, Lobohan, why do you think all the professionals in the WH can’t be bothered to reveal what went on in the decision making process? If it’s so simplistic and cartoonish then their actions would stand on their own merit wouldn’t they?
I gave you what SoD Panetta said:
What exactly are you holding out for? Don’t you think this objection of yours is a little sad?
Your position is utterly simplistic and cartoonish. It is like me staring into an open computer and asking the person fixing it, “have you tried spooning ice cream into it?”
again, if it’s as you say then the WH should have no problems revealing the decision process. Pretty simple. You’d think they’d be happy with a positive spin on it given the clusterfuck that is Obamacare.
So simple, in fact, that it was done many times, as noted in the post directly preceding yours.
Wait! What does Obamacare have to do with this?
then you should have no trouble citing the decisions made.
I cited the ARB’s conclusions on the military options more than once. The independent investigation found there were no valid military options. And yet, that cite gets ignored.
I didn’t ask you for that cite. I asked you for a cite of what transpired.
I just showed you where the SoD and the generals on the ground agreed.
What do you think happened, other than that? What other information do you need?
The Sec of Def, and the generals in question came to a consensus. What exactly are you waiting for?
A full accounting of what the WH did.
As an aside, I have found video evidence of something very similar to Magiver’s motorcycle hostage extraction:
Like, say, from the White House cabinet member responsible for the Defense Department, in post #606?
Show me a cite that breaks down the assets available, the decision process and who made the decisions.
NfbW has provided that about ten times so far.
And to put an even finer point on it, that timeline was reviewed by the ARB which included the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and he does not endorse your pet theory about parachutes and mission planning on a plane.
OK, then who made the decisions and what were they based on?
Panetta and two generals made the decision. It was based on there being no intelligence.
