Air Force Expert on Benghazi
This is a sad state of affairs. I think we have criminals in charge of our country and our military, at least the Air Force. This Benghazi incident massacre should never have happened but even worse for them to try to cover it up. For those who might not know, "Sig" is Sigonella Sicily Italy where we have a Navy Base. I've been there.
"Hands" Handley is a well-respected USAF fighter pilot. Here is his short resume and what he just wrote about Benghazi below that. If anything, Handley is pessimistic in his timeline of when F-16s could have reached Benghazi.
I think they could have been airborne even sooner and turned quicker at Sig. The decision to not try was not based on capability. We had the operational capability in every way.
I hope Handley's taxes are in order. His IRS audit is forthcoming.
