there were 2 less men in the team that that killed bin laden. But you know an old guy in PJ's with no guns is a threat.. Goebbels would have been proud

THIS is why 'guns won't help you because the government has tanks and F35's' is such a stupid argument. When they come to take your freedom they won't send a tank. They won't waste jetfuel. They will send men with guns, just before dawn.

Benghazi was a huge failure.

Just get over Benghazi and do your own research.

I have, and there is a debate that something could have been done that may or may not have saved some lives.

"debate" implies two sides.

Oh, spare us your faux concern. It's sickening. You care about who died in Benghazi as you do about the Special Forces soldiers who died in Kollo, Niger.

This. People use the deaths of those 5 soldiers as political props.

The attack lasted over 2 hours.

Don't know about Scotty, but the U.S. Fifth Fleet was in the Med, about 1 hour away by jet. Combined Task Force 150 and Combined Task Force 158 were 45 minutes away by helicopter. There was also a team of Special Forces already on a C-130 in Tripoli ready to go.

Don't know if they would have made a difference, but they were never even dispatched, and I believe, they were even told to stand down.

You obviously have no clue about the capabilities of close air support or what an AH-64 Apache is capable of. You also seem ignorant of the fact that helicopters can carry squards of troops as well as heavy ordinance. The C-130 can carry 64 Special Forces troops and was loaded and ready to go.

Besides, when dealing with cowards, the mere presence of support forces probably would have scattered the terrorists.

Actually no, they did not party away, they waited while superiors consulted with lawyers and politicians to see whether or not forces should be inserted and engage.
