This isn't exactly true. I know for 1 of my tours this is what we did for a year. Guard as we destroyed an ASP, I don't remember how many square miles but it was a few hundred bunkers filled to gills with all sorts of ammo. American, Russian, Syrian, you name it it was in there and we made it all go boom. I don't know how many were left unguarded but I know that was our battalions mission and if we weren't on patrol we were at the ASP. Same for the rest of the companies in the Bn as well because we all had a different ASP to work.
Yes it did. And he did not say one thing about Hillary Clinton. Not one. Here is the quote . . . “We were playing it by ear.” That's it. He blames himself along with everybody else. The rest of that article is the same old innuendos from the columnist with no evidence at all. She tries to say that Obama made all of his decisions because Hillary wanted it. But it just didn't happen that way, History shows that we basically went in because our European allies need adult help. Libya was mostly their show. You are becoming as naive and gullible as BengalB.
But when our own people on the ground need help we turn our heads and walk away, leaving them to die. Nice, and that is who some want for the POTUS
My understanding is they were not secured for some time after the invasion and much of the expo nary used against us came from them. This included artillery shells used for IEDs. We did better later. As you said sacking the Iraqi army was the worst mistake. What mistakes were made in Iraq due to lack of planning doesn't excuse BO and HRC for Libya. In fact they should have learned from it and done better.
Why we went in matters less than how we went in which is more important. It was amateur night. Is there broad responsibility across the administration? Of course and at least Gates mans up and accepts it. HRC is claiming it was the best thing since sliced bread.
My mistake, and yes you are correct. There were quite a bit of explosives that were stolen early on. Lots of it just for the brass. Funny story, these nuts would get in there, often during the nights when we were onsite and get into these bunkers and knock the projectiles off of these arty shells and dump out all the propellant, its compressed very flammable gun powder, looks like rabbit food, and run off with 2' long but 4" round brass casing. Iraqis smoke, I think all of them smoke, and well there were more than a few that didn't quite get the concept to not smoke when you are standing knee deep in arty propellant. Poof, ali baba go bye bye.
Another example of HRCs greed and willingness to skirt the wrong side of the law. They left the WH with a let's say suspicious load of gifts. It is also interesting to note there was a suspicious difference in valuation and accounting of many of the 'gifts' they brought home. http://www.politifact.com/punditfac...viral-image-wrongly-accuses-clinton-stealing/ No our buddy Red will say this story rates the claim the Clinton's stole $200k as mostly false. Of course he'll ignore the facts that they paid $88k on stuff they took and returned another $40k ONLY AFTER THEY WERE CALLED ON IT. He will probably also say they weren't indicted or anything but ignore the fact he would likely have that done to hi if he left his job in a similar matter. He may say Reagan accepted gifts but not admit they were reported and cleared. In fact Reagan paid for one he was cleared to keep. So what does this tell us about HRC? That she has little respect for law and the mores of our nation. She will take what she wants regardless of the rightness of it. Should she be indicted or sued or have any legal action taken because of this? Of course not. What I hope you do is remember this window into her character on Election Day. She isn't fit to hold office.
Judge Andrew Napolitano said today his "gut" feeling is that the Justice Department will end up bringing charges against Hillary Clinton over private emails that contained classified information. There are now reportedly more than 300 emails that have been flagged as classified. The number could grow as federal agents continue to go through the trove of documents. Meantime, journalist Bob Woodward likened the email scandal to the Watergate tapes that brought down President Richard Nixon. In a "Fox and Friends" interview, Napolitano agreed with the assessment, saying just like Nixon, the former secretary of state seems to not realize that she's in "serious trouble." He pointed out that the team of FBI investigators and federal prosecutors looking into the emails is the "highest and best in the Justice Department." "It's absolutely apolitical. It's impervious to political consequences," said Napolitano. http://insider.foxnews.com/2015/08/...bama-justice-department-private-email-scandal
So you make a comment and then you offer my response to it? That is sadly pathetic debate technique and you really suck at being me. And it won't stop me from tearing this into tiny bits. I find is highly amusing that Republicans know that they can't beat Hillary on the issues. So they keep trying to stage phony scandals to make her look bad. Whitewater and Benghazi have already failed and Emailgate is sagging badly. So now the knee-jerk Republicans are pulling out failed phony scandals from the 2008 campaign! Poor guy, you are now waving trumpeting a story that was proven FALSE long ago and offering it as evidence. The dastardly murder of Vince Foster is no doubt next. I'm embarrassed for you, Hopalong. Really.
