There were planes in the middle east. They could have gotten there some way or another. Not in any useful timefram, and would have done nothing useful, except burn gas, while saving zero lives.

Phydeaux -> RE: Benghazi (8/2/2013 1:50:48 PM)
Wrong again. As I've shown in multiple posts, with multiple examples. Even ferrying from aviano, the planes arrive more than an hour before woods or daugherty are killed. And possibly in time to save the ambassador.

mnottertail -> RE: Benghazi (8/2/2013 1:57:02 PM)
You have not shown those planes, nor those planes in avenno, nor their ready times for armament, fuel and people. You have never been right. The sonic boom from your imaginary planes would not have saved lives.

When facts don't support you - change the subject. I long back disproved all your claims about F-16's. They could not have ferried to Sigonella and armed because Sigonella does not have any fighter squadrons to arm them from. They were not in range for a direct flight and launching a tanker would have added 2 to 3 hours minimum to the prep time for the mission plus the actual refueling time over the Med. Even if we did launch them and get them there they would have been able to do nothing except indiscriminately bomb a town we considered friendly. The mortar attack that killed the two security contractors that were the only ones that died after this crazy half assed plan could have gotten a plane on station was from an unseen position and only 3 rounds were fired. There is nothing an F-16 in the dark could have done to prevent that.

As he sold arms to the Ayatollah and chemical weapons to Saddam and imported cocaine from S American drug lords. And as Bush I, along with the US-funded Saudi Wahabi nutcases, enabled and empowered the Taliban. Your point?

I don't give a box of invisible fucks what you think, and you do not speak for more than yourself, there are plenty ok with my lingo, and those who aren't, maybe they want to leave the fucksite and get civilized, although I would think they would want to have intellect that transcends the third grade. You were looking for the word through there, but now that you have grown up, you can grab up your own third grade primer on spelling and words. It is a matter of velleity to me, and I use swear words because it would take a raft of King James Scholars and every edition of the OED for some of the less fortunate to translate what I say into a comprehensible third grade level that many here precariously possess. Again, I don't give the glimmer of a good goddamn fuck what your cretinous opinion is.

I believe in Obama. I voted for him and I trust him. He was put in a horrible position, and I think he has did a fine job. Perfect no? Without terrible tragedies? no. Mistakes? yes. I have faith in him to do the right things.

I see these unfounded chicken little threads as weakness and being useless and of no value. I throw no pearls before swine. There is no commerce in writing astounding prose to Ghana profiles or 'conservative-independent' thread blather.

And why not? I own the place I work, I have free time, and I love to laugh at twatwaffles, especially the ones not tightly wrapped, I love seeing them come unraveled. It is way better than planning out how I am gonna mow the lawn this afternoon.

Fact: That version of the f-16 is night mission compatible. As evidenced by a). The specs (provided) and b). The fact that they use them for night missions all the time. You repeat all these falsehoods - but not a single bit of evidence to back you up. Your words are dross. This is why you are factless ken. Your oft repeated assertions are nothing.

You repeat all these falsehoods - but not a single bit of evidence to back you up. Your words are dross. This is why you are factless ken. Your oft repeated assertions are nothing. I already disproved all this nonsense except the claim about the mortar. You got anything on that one? BTW why would your supposed expert say the only option was a ferry to Sigonella if the planes had the range otherwise? Because they don't and your own source confirms that. Also why would they have been designating a target with no air assets overhead? That would be the waste of a guy who could be doing something else. Now lets consider you fantasy Aviano recalls a couple of air crews and pilots,fuels up a couple of F-16's and loads them with drop tanks, develops this plan and briefs the pilots. That's a minimum of an hour and more likely longer. F-16's fly to Sigonella more than an hour F-16's land at Sigonella, air crews unfamiliar with F-16's remove drops tanks, refuel the planes and load ordinance. probably an hour and a half to 2 hours F-16's fly to Benghazi another hour So if everything goes just exactly right we have a couple of F-16's over Benghazi about 5 hours after we decide to send them. So too early to hit the mortar position, even if we did know it was there, and without the fuel to loiter to wait for something we didn't know was coming. So still nothing useful the F-16's could have done.
