General can't explain why forces not deployed to Benghazi


(WND) Gen. Carter Ham, the former head of U.S. forces in Africa, has admitted that highly trained Special Forces were stationed just a few hours away from Benghazi on the night of the attack but were not deployed to Libya.

Ham’s explanation for why the military assets stationed abroad were not utilized during the attack raises more questions than it provides answers about his decision-making.

During the Sept. 11, 2012 Benghazi attack, command of the Special Forces reportedly was transferred from the military’s European command to Ham’s AFRICOM, or the United States Africa Command.

The Special Forces unit is known as C-110, or EUCOM CIF. It is a 40-man Special Ops force maintained for rapid response to emergencies such as the Benghazi attack.

Ham told the Aspen Security Forum that he first received word of the Benghazi attack from his command post in Stuttgart, Germany. The post is where EUCOM CIF is normally based. The night the of the Benghazi attack, the unit was on a training mission in Croatia, as first reported by Fox News and now reconfirmed by Ham.

AN IMPOTENT US MILITARY ANY WHICH WAY YOU LOOK AT IT.
STEVENS KNEW ABOUT THE WEAPONS TRANSFER FROM LYBIA VIA TURKEY TO SYRIA.. DOES ANYONE REALLY KNOW WHAT THE HELL WE WANT IN SYRIA? WHAT INTEREST DO WE HAVE OVER THERE? MORE SPECIFICALLY WHAT IS THE BENEFIT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?
IRAN HAS CREATED ITS OWN EXCHANGE FOR THE MIDDLE EAST OIL AND KICKED THE US DOLLAR TO THE CURB. IT IS NOT ABOUT THE BOMB THEY ARE PLANNING TO BUILT. IT STILL IS ALL ABOUT THE OIL AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE PAYING FOR THE SHOOTING MATCHES WITHOUT REAPING THE BENEFITS.
TO HELL WITH OUR PRESENT GOVERNMENT WHICH IS RUN BY THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS.
