I would be extreemley dissapointed if the Air Force did not have the ability to get planes in the air within 45 minutes after receiving an order from the President of the United States!
And what retarded moron commander did not have resources closer to Benghazi, especially after the known prior bombing and the British and Red Cross leaving because of the dangerous situation!?
First off the in context and non-spun conversation:

And the retarded moron commander?
Lets let Issa and Cummings tell ya:
http://www.passionforliberty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/house_committee_whistleblower_transcript.pdf
Apparently, Either every Republican in the Obama administration has turned into co-consipirators, or there is alot of felching going on down there:
00:19:59 FOR EXAMPLE, LAST WEEK THERE WAS A WIDELY PUBLICIZED NEWS REPORT THAT A TEAM IN
EUROPE CALLED THE COMMANDERS IN EXTREMIST FORCE COULD HAVE GOTTEN TO BENGHAZI
BEFORE THE SECOND ATTACK.
00:20:14 WHEN I HEARD THIS CLAIM I WROTE TO THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE IMMEDIATELY, YESTERDAY I
RECEIVED AN OFFICIAL RESPONSE.
00:20:21 IT SAYS, THIS PRESS REPORT WAS WRONG.
00:20:24 THE TEAM WAS TOO FAR AWAY.
00:20:29 AND THE REQUIREMENTS WERE TOO GREAT.
00:20:30 OTHERS HAD SUGGESTED THAT F-16s, STATIONS THAT NO AIR BORS BASE IN ITALY COULD HAVE
GOTTEN THERE IN TIME.
00:20:39 BUT ACCORDING TO GENERAL MARTIN DEMPSEY, THE CHAIRMAN OF A JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF WHO
TESTIFIED BEFORE THE SENATE IN FEBRUARY, HE SAID THEY COULD NOT.
00:20:49 AND THIS IS OUR HIGHEST RANKING MILITARY MEMBER.
00:20:52 THE FACT IS THAT OUR NATION'S TOP MILITARY COMMANDERS HAVE ALREADY TESTIFIED
REPEATEDLY THAT THEY DID EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO MOBILIZE AND DEPLOI ASSETS AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE AND EVERY INDEPENDENT AND BIPARTISAN REVIEW HAS CONFIRMED THIS FACT.
00:21:08 WE HAVE THE BEST MILITARY IN THE WORLD, BUT EVEN WITH ALL OF THE TECHNICAL, LOGICAL
ADVANCES, THEY COULD NOT GET THERE IN TIME.
00:21:18 MR.
00:21:19 HICKS, I KNOW THESE ANSWERS PROVIDE NO COMFORT TO YOU OR THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS,
BUT THIS IS THE TESTIMONY CONGRESS HAS RECEIVED.
00:21:26 AND I HAVE SEEN NOTHING TO MAKE ME QUESTION THE TRUTHFULNESS OF OUR NATION'S MILITARY
COMMANDERS.
00:21:33 OUR COMMITTEE HAS A FUNDAMENTAL OBLIGATION TO CONDUCT RESPONSIBLE OVERSIGHT.
00:21:39 AND THAT INCLUDES CAREFULLY EXAMINING INFORMATION THAT YOU AND OTHERS PROVIDE.
00:21:44 BUT WE ALSO HAVE A DUTY TO THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATE THESE CLAIMS BEFORE WE MAKE
PUBLIC ACCUSATIONS.
00:21:51 IN CONTRAST, WHAT WE HAVE SEEN OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKS IS A FULL-SCALE MEDIA CAMPAIGN
THAT IS NOT DESIGNED TO INVESTIGATE WHAT HAPPENED IN A RESPONSIBLE AND BIPARTISAN WAY,
BUT RATHER A LAUNCH UNFOUNDED OF UNFOUNDED ACCUSATIONS TO SMEAR PUBLIC OFFICIALS.
00:22:09 LET ME BE CLEAR.
00:22:10 I AM NOT QUESTIONING THE MOTIFS OF OUR WITNESSES.
00:22:14 I AM QUESTIONING THE MOTIVES OF THOSE WHO WANT TO USE THEIR STATEMENTS FOR POLITICAL
PURPOSES.
00:22:19 CHAIRMAN ISSA HAS ACCUSED THE ADMINISTRATION OF INTENTIONALLY WITHHOLDING MILITARY ASSETS WHICH COULD HAVE HELPED SAVE LIVES ON THE NIGHT OF THE ATTACKS.
00:22:30 I SAY FOR POLITICAL REASONS.
00:22:31 OF ALL THE IRRESPONSIBLE ALLEGATIONS LEVELED OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKS, THIS IS THE MOST
TROUBLING.
00:22:39 AND BASED ON WHAT OUR MILITARY COMMANDERS HAVE TOLD US, THIS ALLEGATION IS SIMPLY
UNTRUE.
00:22:46 CHAIRMAN ISSA SUGGESTED THAT FOUR MILITARY PERSONNEL WERE TOLD TO STAY IN TRIPOLI
RATHER THAN BOARD A PLANE IN BENGHAZI A PLANE IN BENGHAZI AT 6 A.
00:22:55 M. THE MORNING AFTER THE ATTACKS SUPPOSEDLY BECAUSE OF THE ADMINISTRATION'S POLITICAL
DESIRE NOT TO HAVE A PRESENCE IN BENGHAZI.
00:23:00 THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THIS.
00:23:05 AS HE TOLD THE COMMITTEE, ONE PLANE HAD ALREADY LEFT FOR BENGHAZI AT 1:15 A.
00:23:10 M. THAT NIGHT AND IT INCLUDED A SEVEN-PERSON SECURITY TEAM WITH TWO MILITARY
PERSONNEL.
00:23:16 THE DECISION THE NEXT MORNING TO KEEP FOUR MILITARY PERSONNEL IN PLACE AT TRIPOLI WAS
NOT MADE BY THE WHITE HOUSE OR THE STATE DEPARTMENT, BUT BY THE MILITARY CHAIN OF
COMMAND.
00:23:28 THERE ARE OTHER ALLEGATIONS CHAIRMAN ISSA WENT ON NATIONAL TV AND ACCUSED
SECRETARY CLINTON OF LYING TO CONGRESS.
00:23:35 HE SAYS SHE PERSONALLY SIGNED THE STATE DEPARTMENT CABLE AUTHORIZING SECURITY
REDUCTIONS.
00:23:39 WE HAVE NOW SEEN THIS CABLE AND SHE DID NOT SIGN IT.
00:23:42 HER NAME IS PRINTED AT THE BOTTOM JUST LIKE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CABLES SENT EVERY
YEAR FROM THE DEPARTMENT.
00:23:49 AS I CLOSE, THE "WASHINGTON POST" FACT CHECKER CALLED THIS ACCUSATION A WHOPPER AND
GAVE IT FOUR PINOCCHIOS.
00:24:01 AMBASSADOR SUSAN RICE FOR STATEMENTS SHE MADE ON SUNDAY TALK SHOWS CLAIMING THE
ADMINISTRATION, QUOTE, DELIBERATELY MISLED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
00:24:10 THE CLAIM HAD BEEN DIRECTLY CONTRADICTED BY OUR NATION'S TOP INTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL
GENERAL JAMES CLAPPER.
00:24:15 HE TESTIFIED.
00:24:16 HE HAS ALREADY TESTIFIED BEFORE THE SENATE THESE ACCOUNTS AGAINST MS.
00:24:20 RICE WERE, QUOTE, UNFAIR, END QUOTE, BECAUSE, QUOTE, SHE WAS GOING ON WHAT WE HAD
GIVEN HER AND THAT WAS OUR COLLECTIVE BEST JUDGMENT AT THE TIME.
00:24:32 THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN ALLEGATIONS THE ACCOUNTABILITY REVIEW BOARD LED BY
AMBASSADOR THOMAS PICKERING AND ADMIRAL MIKE MULLIN FAILED TO EXAMINE THE ROLE OF
PATRICK KENNEDY.
00:24:42 THIS ACCUSATION IS AGAIN INACCURATE ACCORDING TO THE BOARD.
00:24:47 SO, MR. CHAIRMAN, THIS COMMITTEE IS GOING TO SUGGEST THAT GENERAL DEMPSEY, GENERAL
CLAPPER, AND ALL INVOLVED IN A CONSPIRACY OF WITHHOLDING MILITARY ASSETS AND THEN
COVERING IT UP AND IF THIS COMMITTEE IS GOING TO ACCUSE AMBASSADOR PICKERING AND
ADMIRAL MULLEN OF FAILING TO FULLY INVESTIGATE THESE ATTACKS, THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS
HAVE THEM INVITED TO THIS HEARING TODAY OR IN THE FUTURE HEARING AND ACCORDING TO OUR................
So, If the Chm,JC said they couldnt get there, then what the fuck are we doing spending all this money on the military?
Lets get rid of them, they are more useless than giving milk to babies, PBS, and Planned Parenthood combined.
You wanna start getting fiscally responsible? Let's get to it!!!
