Wrong Smackem... He didn't sit there and watch Americans get slaughtered, he ordered it.
He ordered the rescue mission and air support to stand down. And, when an Admiral and 2 Generals defied those orders because forces were already in place to save them, rescue them, and remove them from harm's way, he ordered those distinguished Group Commanders to be relieved of their command, and again ordered the rescue and air support teams to stand down. Air support was overhead, and assault teams were probably minutes away when he issued those orders.
American lives were lost. And, idiots on bulletin boards think Republicans are wrong wanting his @ss to answer for those actions. Personally, I find those actions treasonous, and all involved should face a firing squad. That is not to mention the fact that he attempted for 2 weeks after the fact to cover the attack up, he has continued to conspire against the American Public, and world, for that matter in this cover up, and the idiots insist it didn't happen. One would have to have the IQ of thread bare jock strap to insist it didn't happen, and he's not responsible.
