"RIVERA: Listen, I have been with so many fallen and wounded GIs from Afghanistan 12 times, Iraq 12 times, Somalia, I have a lot of African experience. If the jets Aviano had scrambled, they would have had to jettison their tanks at night, going over to a situation that they could have easily been taken down by a handheld RPG. To what end? We didn't have a target. It could would have been mounted, that mission was a suicide mission, it could not have happened."

2. Oh oh Geraldo, you might not get a contract renewal.

Cause the Rethugs eat sleep and drink Benghazi. It's also their drug of choice. Pathetic.

9. Benghazi is all about blaiming Hillary....

If she doesn't run, they're screwed.

4. Rethug logic

They won't believe this because they have all that combat experience from Call of Duty.

5. I just went to the link to get context.

Bill O'Reilly will say that Media Matters are just liberal liars and then he'll bring on Rivera and browbeat him for bringing the inconvenient truth to the conversation and straying ever so slightly from the Faux narrative. Nothing will change.

6. If they tried that Hillary would have been blamed for the 4 deaths plus the rescue plane

crew and pilots. We'd never hear the end of that!

Glad to see/hear Rivera making sense for a change. But rethugs won't even listen to him.

7. The meme they are trying to create is

that there was no response launched when at the time the incident was occurring, no one knew how long the fighting would last or who could have been rescued.. It is only after the fact that you can assess those missions would never have worked. Couple that with the requests by the consulate for better security in the weeks before the attack and then throw in an election year president who said Al-Queda is on the run and is then faced with this attack... and the conspiracy of how the political directors at the White House tried to bend the narrative of the attack so that it appeared related to a youtube video...

Now we will have a select committee an investigation more hearings and try to implicate someone in the White House. They want this to be watergate, Iran COntra, whitewater all in one...

8. Look at the results

Jimmy Carter tried a rescue and many things can go wrong.

What is their point again?
