Show the Video, Mr. President! They knew what was going on in - TopicsExpress

Show the Video, Mr. President! They knew what was going on in Benghazi. President Obama knew. Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knew. The heads of our military and intelligence services knew. They knew our brave former SEALs and diplomats were pinned down by an enemy attack. They knew sovereign U.S. territory was being brazenly violated by armed militias. And. They. Did. Nothing. Show us that video, Mr. President. Let us see the attack you neglected to stop. Let us see what our Department of Defense knew and when it knew it. Do it. Stand up and be accountable. Stop hiding behind your spokesmen, the State Department, and the military leaders you hold in utter contempt. Just once. But we know you won’t because then everyone would see what you really think of America’s fighting forces. You won’t because it will reveal what those of us at Special Operations Speaks have known all along – that you are entirely unfit to command our Military. You won’t because it will show that our leaders knew beyond any doubt we were being attacked – not by an angry mob over some obscure video but by a coordinated fighting force with a specific mission and sufficient command and control to destroy our facility and kill our people in Benghazi. At SOS, we are former Special Operations soldiers. We know how these fights begin … and end. We know that in combat men are isolated from their support, and sometimes lost. We have never, though, witnessed the willful withholding of support from Americans in mortal distress. We have never seen a commander-in-chief wander from his command post, go to bed and then casually fly away next day to tend to his campaign ambitions. We’ll never stop raising this issue... Barack Obama is our President. Hillary Clinton wants to be. They are both unfit – by virtue of their actions on this night alone – to lead our troops. When the red phone rang that night, no one answered. Unacceptable. We are going to make this egregious and shameful violation of the American warrior ethos public until everyone understands it. But we need your help. We are a small organization with a tremendously complex and difficult mission – to ensure Americans understand the true character of those who now lead us and would aspire to do so in the future. Help us today. Your contribution of 100.00 or 200.00 or 500.00 will enable us to keep the heat on this most unfit presidents and his former Secretary of State and get us the answers the American people deserve. This was an event of unprecedented consequences. No longer can our fighting men and women assume we will not leave them behind. They have to figure we might. Because on that night in Benghazi, we did exactly that. Sincerely, Dick Brauer, Colonel, USAF (Ret.)
