Recent news alleging that help solicited by CIA agents in Benghazi, Libya was denied and others asking permission to assist were told to “stand down”, brought back sad memories from the Bay of Pigs.    While waiting to disembark, our ship was delayed by fortuitous circumstances; we heard the pleas for the promised air cover by our fellow members of Brigade 2506, and the anguished response from the US Navy nearby telling them that the “big chief” was denying it.    Equally brave to our meager Air Force trainers who flew disobeying orders to Cuba in what amounted to a suicide mission, out of shame and rage, a couple of agents in Libya refused to “stand down” costing one heroic man his life.    Shades of the Bay of Pigs?    Not quite.    President Kennedy after the fiasco manned up and faced the American people taking full responsibility for the shameful action.    On the other hand President Obama’s response, other that contributing to an inept cover up, responded by going to Las Vegas, meeting with Jay C and Beyonce, taking questions in TV shows like Letterman, Comedy Central, Jay Leno, MTV, and the like.    This behavior does not bode well coming from a man that aspires to continue to be our Commander in Chief, not Comedian in Chief!
