    Yeah...we did. We want to minimize the odds that China would launch a preemptive nuclear strike against the United States because they falsely thought we were getting ready to launch nukes at them.

    Milley is going to be in front of congress around Sept 20th. So we will see what he has to say.
    It is starting to show China to be the paper tiger I suspect it to be. They gotta not be liking that.

    So why just China? Why not Russia or NK? Is it because we are indebted to China financially and don't want to make them unhappy? We all know Democrats didn't like the way Trump was talking to China. Did Trump ever threaten to attack China?

    It doesn’t take a professional to determine when someone is severely pathological. If you share Trumps grand delusion that he was elected president of the United States than no professional opinion would change your mind.

    So you think based on your comments in this thread, how could you possible believe the chinese thought that the house and senate met declared war, then authorized the president to nuke them, during a transition of power??? I'm sorry but I can't imagine how you could possibly think this based on your posts in this thread on the requirements it would take to launch nukes. It sounds as if your confused about your on thoughts.

    Don't know if he talked to others or not. Maybe he figured Trump would talk to Putin and Kim personally?

    No confusion here...no confusion with Milley. Everyone does seem to have worried about Trump's confusion.

    I lived thru the nightmare of the Benghazi Attack.Some top brass were fired because they
    wanted to help in any way possible but were given a non-official Stand Down order.
    There was still time to use F-16 Fighter Jets from Spain buzz the Mission { Compound }
    and scatter off those taking pot shots for hours.
    I don't buy the Smoke Inhalation bidness.I saw photos of Ambassador
    Stevens being dragged like a dog on a dirt road behind some truck full of
    insanely blood-thirsty turban wearing bearded men.
    The same kind of supposed " Freedom Fighters " Secrertary-of-State
    Hillary boasted about.The ones who also found Muammar Gaddafi
    hiding in a concrete drain sewer and dragged to his death.Jamming sticks
    found nearby into his anus.

    And...I don't believe you...you have no credibility with me whatsoever. We weren't about to invade Libyan airspace to protect an "unofficial" CIA facility. And, the fighter jets would have been too late to arrive at the diplomatic facility to have done any good.

    That makes zero sense. Trump could not make this call as you've pointed out, how could there be any confusion on Trump? If there's no confusion, why make the call?

    It was the Chinese who were concerned. I believe Trump was still telling everyone he'd won the election, so he was confused as well.

    Because much of the world thought Trump had lost his mind over his election defeat.

    Again Only a few Never Trumpers and virtually the Entire Left.
    The same pack of Lying scum who demanded Trump be Impeached a
    2nd time.Proving their abject desire to use a two-tier justice system.
    And how the Democrats vastly overplayed their cocky hand in the
    2nd Impeachment.Being Proven w/o any shadow of a doubt as
    being true blue hypocrites.Their arguments were textbook Hypocrisy
    of the lamest order.
    Trump was Impeached over a phone call.Using as proof some Deep State
    Whistleblower who had his Identity Covered.Refused to be made public.
    Same tactic { Crap } used in protecting the Identity of Ashli Babbetts
    Killer.
    What there is no confusion over is why Biden has yet to release
    any documents and or transcripts of his secret dealings.
    Gee I wonder why.
    The same reason Biden emphatically claimed that the top 1 %
    need to pay their fair share.When it is roundly known that the top
    1 % pay around 40 % of all Income Taxes.And that those earning
    $ 50,ooo and under pay roughly O % in Federal Income Tax.

    It has everything to do with this issue. Milley was telling the Chinese we are still a nation under law and you have no reason to be concerned.

    People with YOUR attitude and YOUR power of reasoning used to burn people to death at the stake as "witches", purely because they were thought they were right! Now... where did you say you got your education...? Weren't you going to share that with us, Dr. Hero...?

    People who pass judgments like that on other people without any demonstrable, intellectual, or verifiable reason are surely the absolute WORST people in the world! (Hint: Nazis come immediately to mind....)

    You've confused Impeachment #1 with Impeachment #2.

    Ok what is your source for the Chinese being concerned, you keep making these circular arguments with things that apparently only you have heard of. Where are you getting the Chinese were concerned. The only people I've seen were confused was Pelosi, Milley and the left on this board. Show your work man.....

    Truth? Obama sent in our military to overthrow the legitimate government of Libya because he wanted to ingratiate himself further to the FRENCH, with whom he'd been engaged in mutual-asskissing since his arrival in the White House.

    So, without any provocation against the United States, Obama broke the War Powers Act, used American air power to overthrow the Gaddafi government, and then allowed gaggles of warring Islamo-Nazi factions to take over the country.

    Afterthought: It became so bad in Libya's capital that by July 2014 we had to shut our embassy there... and it has never reopened TO THIS DAY! "Mission accomplished", Messiah Obama! :spin:

    Why don't you ask General Milley why the Chinese were concerned? IMO, most of the world was concerned due to Trump's rejection of the election results and the subsequent attempted overthrow of the election on January 6th.

    I assume we provided air support based on the requests of our NATO allies...of whom the French are one. If I remember correctly, they along with other Mediterrean NATO members across from the Libyan coast were worried that a massacre of the revolutionists by Gaddafi forces would lead to a mass exodus of eastern Libyans to European shores. It's also possible, I suppose, that Obama used the existing AUF regarding the pursuit of terrorists, obtained by Bush after 9/11 (I think that's the last AUF Congress passed and its never been repealed).
    I was on the last successful flight of Pan Am 103 from London to NYC, so eliminating Gaddafi and his regime doesn't really bother me. I believe it was the Brits who drove an oil deal with Gaddafi, so they may have been one NATO member NOT happy with our participation...maybe if it was a British Airways jet that he'd taken down, they'd have felt differently?
    But, right or wrong, sending significant U.S. forces into Libya to rescue a CIA mission would have only complicated our involvement.

    My personal conclusion on Benghazi, after much study, was that it was probably an accident. No one was shot until the rescue mission from the CIA Annex arrived at the diplomatic facility. My theory is that the attack on that facility was to be similar to the attack on our Cairo Embassy...destruction of property only. Then they burned the tires...causing the asphyxiation of the Ambassador and the State Department IT Officer and everything turned sour.

    But, who knows? The intelligence agencies, I assume, play a lot of "payback." Maybe today's headline on the Australian Submaine deal, shutting out the French, was payback for Libya?
