The increasingly angry, embittered John McCain
In the video below, Sen. John McCain demonstrates his version of respect for the uniform as he responds to testimony by Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, regarding the inability of the U.S. military to respond in time to the Benghazi attacks. As McCain sees, Dempsey’s testimony was “one of the more bizarre statements I have ever seen” and “simply false”. In other words, the general was lying under oath to a congressional committee:
“I stand by my testimony, your dispute of it notwithstanding,” Dempsey responded afterward.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta backed up Dempsey’s statement before the Senate Armed Services Committee. As Tom Curry of NBC News reports:
“In his testimony, Panetta said the Department of Defense and U.S. armed forces “did all that we could do in response to the attacks in Benghazi.” He explained that “armed UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones), AC-130 gunships, or fixed-wing fighters with the associated tanking – you’ve got to provide air re-fueling– armaments – you’ve got to arm all the weapons before you put them on the planes” — were not in the vicinity of Libya.
He said that even if he’d been able to deploy F-16 fighters or AC-130 gunships over Benghazi in time, “the mission still depends on accurate information about what targets they’re supposed to hit. And we had no forward air controllers there” and no communications with U.S. personnel on the ground.
He said, “because of the distance, it would have taken at least 9 to 12 hours, if not more, to deploy these forces to Benghazi. This was, pure and simple, — in the absence as I said of any kind of advance warning — a problem of distance and time.”
Panetta also pointed out that the two attacks in Benghazi were relatively brief, and occurred six hours apart. “We were not dealing with a prolonged or continuous assault which could have been brought to an end by a U.S. military response,” Panetta said.
According to Richard Sisk of military.com, McCain wasn’t alone in pressing the case:
“Other Republicans on the committee joined McCain in questioning why the military didn’t send F16s or AC-130 gunships to drive off the terrorists attacking Benghazi, but Dempsey and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who also testified, said there simply wasn’t time and they lacked the intelligence to mount an effective response.
Dempsey said there wasn’t an AC-130 gunship within 1,000 miles of Benghazi and the nearest F16s at a base in Aviano, Italy, were not on standby alert and would not have reached Benghzi in time.
Panetta added that “you can’t just willy-nilly send F16s there and blow the hell out of a place without knowing what’s taking place.”
It would be nice if the world were as simple and uncomplicated as McCain prefers to it be, if intervention were possible merely because he wants it to be possible, if technicalities such as time and space could be waved away merely by his own insistence that they are unimportant.
We do not live in such a world, although McCain increasingly appears to believe that he does.

You indicate anything would have been more than our Pres and SOS. It appears to me that you are in the same position they were, hands tied and hoped there was something someone, anyone could do to help those folks.
If you will dig a little deeper into Sec. Panetta’s testimony, it clearly shows the State Department and the CIA were in charge of the facility and the DOD had no role to play.

I’m calling BS on that one. You must have been in a different Marine Corps, and I joined the one I was in before you. You don’t recall those stern lectures about the court martial that awaits any Marine found to have engaged in homosexuality? You don’t recall the mocking of homosexuals undertaken by your enlisted leaders? The entire environment was heterosexuality on steroids. And yes, the buttoms on my dress greens were—and still are (I keep my uniforms in my closet)—brown. Don’t give us that BS about how sexuality-neutral the Marine Corps was or how nobody discussed sexuality.

This is scary business my friends. As testified today under oath, the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint chiefs of staff could not get in touch with the President during the entire time of the raid. How in the hell is it that the two military leaders in this nation does not have 24/7, 365 days per year to the Commander and chief (especially on the anniversary of 911) This is also on the same day that the President had a meeting with the Sec. of Defense earlier because he was concerned over the Egyptian Embassy. One more point why in the hell was not our entire military on high alert on 911?

Commander and Chief as a matter of fact he could have made the decision himself. But he dropped the ball just like always. How is it we had money to go get Bin Ladin but none to protect our own property. I would rather have my fellow Americans back then waste our money on a tired Bin Laden.

Even 10 years later it is a perfectly legitimate statement. It is still called the THEORY of evolution. Just like the THEORY of global warming there is a little shaky science to back up the claim but it is enough to have the anti traditionalist, human secularist to buy hook, line and sinker.

TBS,
Here’s the deal with Palin. Did she have the experience and overall learning of someone like Biden-especially when it comes to Washington and politics? No. She didn’t. And she probably doesn’t know a lot about history, foreign policy, etc. But what the woman did have that Joe doesn’t have is just a boatload of damn good common sense and a core set of principles. She’s smart enough to know you can’t continously spend money you don’t have. Joe isn’t. And while she’s not nearly as educated, as cosmopolitan, and as refined politically as someone like Biden her work speaks for itself. Alaska prospered very well under her and I think when she left office she had something absurdly ridiculous like an 80 or 90% approval rating. She was like a female Reagan- not an intellectual giant and she didn’t pretend to be. Just smart enough and having enough common sense to know which basic set of core principals work for a nation and a people. In other words smart enough to know that liberalism just doesn’t work.

She may have been to green for the vise presidents job. But that doesn’t mean you have to try an destroy her. From what i hear she did a nice job in Alaska. So it is what it is we don’t know if she would have done a good job because she never had the chance. We don’t talk junk about John Kerry he lost that was it.

What is serves is if we find there were incompetent people in positions that allowed this tragedy to play out the way it did, those people can be removed before they’re responsible for any more deaths. Unfortunately, it appears most of the left have absolutly no interest in learning anything more from this tragedy or if anyone’s incompetence led to it. It doesn’t fit their agenda.

The NYT spent a considerable sum of money and assigned staff and volunteers spent hours and hours combing through her personal and official correspondence and found not one thing to criticize or ridicule. The hatred expressed against her is pathological.

Weetamoe,
“Hilary and Obama were both AWOL.”
Explain that to me please.

I used to respect John McCain, now he’s just turned into an angry old SOB. But he IS a Republican after all!

In a 2008 interview Obama said the bible story about God’s creation is fundamentally true though the six days may not be 24-hour days. So it seems Obama has more in common with Broun than I have with either of them. And you?

Panetta explained the AWOL at the hearing. Those hearings are valuable. Much more informative than Fox or CBS or PBS or NBC or…….

When are you in liberal press going to talk about the 170 children that drones strikes have killed.
The liberal press gives Obama a free hand just like the German press did in 1930s. Shame on you

Wee @ 0637:
Second Peter 3:8…”But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”
Psalm 90:4…”For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.”
Admittedly the above verses are supposed to explain the “End Times”, but if it’s true for the end, it stands to reason that it is true for the beginning. Do you really think Braun would admit that?

When are you right wing, Obama can’t do anything right wing nuts going to talk about the many hundreds of children killed and maimed in suicide bomb attacks, car bomb attacks and IED explosions? Shame on you!

True, once I put in the ear plugs so her paint-peeling timbre could do no more permanent damage.

Ok, so today we’re back to being the Third Reich. I guess Greece c. 2013 is tomorrow.

Seriously, had youse guys been reading the DFHs (like oh this and this and this and this) that I read you’d have been outraged about the kill list ages ago. I’m sorry I keep bringing that up but it’s really remarkable how mushroom[1]-like so many of our regulars really are.

Liberal Press?
Hiring some liberal employees doesn’t seem to make them liberal….
“I never saw a foreign intervention that the [New York] Times did not support, never saw a fare increase or a rent increase or a utility rate increase that it did not endorse, never saw it take the side of labor in a strike or lockout, or advocate a raise for underpaid workers. And don’t let me get started on universal health care and Social Security. So why do people think the Times is liberal?”
