Benghazi Consulate Could Have Used Marines With Bayonets
Scandal: More than six hours after terrorists attacked our
consulate, former Navy SEALs manned a blood-soaked machine gun to defend
U.S. territory. Meanwhile Apache helicopters sat on the ground in
Italy.
At 4 a.m. local time on Sept. 11 — six hours and 20 minutes after the
initial attack began — former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty
were killed at the CIA annex not far from the consulate by a mortar
shell. The machine gun they were firing was encrusted with blood, an
indication they continued to fight after being wounded.
During that eternity, Woods and Doherty might have wondered between
gunfire and explosions where the military, with bases strewn across
Europe, was. U.S. forces were indeed being moved like chess pieces as
the attack unfolded, but none came to their aid because no one gave the
order.
