No, and the bipartisan Senate Intelligence review is quite clear on this. One of its 12 core findings is that “there were no US military resources in position to intervene in short order in Benghazi to help defend the Temporary Mission Facility and its Annex.” Other congressional reports have come to similar conclusions.
Besides the seven person Tripoli-based team that assisted in the defense and evacuation, the only nearby available assets were unarmed surveillance drones. The closest armed aircraft were in Djibouti, at a base as far from Benghazi as DC is from Los Angeles, as Major General Darryl Roberson put it to Congress on November 2012. There were four Green Berets assisting in a separate evacuation mission in Tripoli, but the plane available to fly them couldn’t have arrived at Benghazi until 7:00 am — after the attack ended.
We have a request
In moments like this — as people grapple to understand variants and vaccines, and kids head back to school — many outlets take their paywalls down. Vox’s content is always free, in part because of financial support from our readers. We’ve been covering the Covid-19 pandemic for more than a year and a half. From the beginning, our goal was to bring clarity to chaos. To empower people with the information they needed to stay safe. And we’re not stopping.
To our delight, you, our readers, helped us hit our goal of adding 2,500 financial contributions in September in just 9 days. So we’re setting a new goal: to add 4,500 contributions by the end of the month. Reader support helps keep our coverage free, and is a critical part of sustaining our resource-intensive work. Will you help us reach our goal by making a contribution to Vox with as little as $3?
