Retired Army Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin–formerly commander of U.S. Special Forces Command and deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence—told CNSNews.com that, if it had been asked, the Defense Department could have sent a plane to Libya on Sept. 11, 2012, to transport a rescue team of U.S. security personnel that instead ended up taking a chartered private plane from Tripoli to Benghazi that night.
“There is no question that we could have moved an airplane in there and we could have also put boots on the ground at the embassy,” Gen. Boykin told CNSNews.com.
“State should have coordinated with DOD and said: We’ve got to have an airplane,” said Gen. Boykin. “The Department of Defense could have provided an airplane in there. All they had to do was ask.”

If I was the parents of those 4 brave Americans I'd sue the devil out of the Obutthole Administration to find out the truth about why my son had to die.The fighting went on for over 8 hrs. and that dick for a nose Penetta claimed there wasn't enough time.Gen Boykin says they could have gotten there in time to help but Oblowjog wouldn't give the go ahead instead his orders were to stand down.That old bag Hitlary is worried that if she tells the truth she wouldn't get elected to dog catcher but she looks like a dog so maybe she would make a good one.How do these people sleep when will the first one commit suicide.
Recall that during the 2008 Democratic primary it was Obama campaign advisor Susan Rice who, in defending Obama against Hillary Clinton’s insinuation that she but not Obama was ready to answer the Red Phone at 3am, said that neither Obama or Clinton was ready because neither of them had ever been in that position.
Turns out Susan Rice hit the nail on the head.
