Americans fought alone to bloody death in Benghazi but US had troops nearby who could've helped, contrary to what we've been told. Witness disguises his voice and identity to tell us this, fearing reprisal

.
Ed. note: Until hearing the audio on Mark Levin's show tonight I didn't realize the witness had to hide his identity and disguise his voice. The information may have been known before but no one would say it.

4/29/13, "Special Ops: Forces Were Available To Assist Americans Under Attack In Benghazi," Washington Free Beacon by staff

"Fox News reports that despite the Obama Administration’s claim that there were no available troops who could have arrived in time to aid Americans under attack in Benghazi, a U.S. special operator says that is not true.

"SPECIAL OPERATOR: “I know for a fact that C 110 CIF was doing a training exercise in the region of northern Africa but in Europe. They had the ability to react and respond.” 

“They would have been there before the second attack. They would have been there at a minimum to provide a quick reaction force that could facilitate their exfil out of the problem situation. Nobody knew how it was going to develop, and you hear a whole bunch of people and a whole bunch of advisors say hey, we wouldn’t have sent them there because the security was unknown situation.”“If it’s an unknown situation, at a minimum you send forces there to facilitate the exfil or medical injuries. We could have sent a C 130 to Benghazi to provide medical evacuation for the injured.”" via Mark Levin show

4/30/13, "EXCLUSIVE: Special Ops Benghazi Whistleblower Claims Obama Could Have Intervened," Fox News

"BAIER:  The administration has insisted from the beginning there was no help available for the Americans under assault in Libya.  None that could arrive in time to change the outcome in Benghazi.  Tonight is the first of three exclusive reports charging that claim is just not true.  Because the special operator in this piece is fearful of reprisal, we have agreed to conceal his identity. 

Correspondent Adam Housley has the story....

"HOUSLEY:  But members of the military who are monitoring events in Benghazi disagree.  Only a few dozen people in the world know what happened that night and Fox News spoke exclusively with a special operator who watched the events unfold and has debriefed those who are part of the response.
                UNIDENTIFIED MALE:  I know for a fact that C-110, the (INAUDIBLE) was doing a training exercise in the region of Northern Africa but in Europe.
And they had the ability to react and respond.

                HOUSLEY:  The C-110 is a commanders and extremist force.  In Layman's terms, a 40 men (ph) special operations force capable of rapid response and deployment, specifically, trained for incidents like the attack in Benghazi.  That night, they were training in Croatia just three and a half hours away.
                UNIDENTIFIED MALE:  We had the ability to load out, get on birds, and fly there at a minimum stage.  C-110 had the ability to be there, in my opinion, in four to six hours from their European theater to react.
                HOUSLEY:  They would have been there before the second attack.
                UNIDENTIFIED MALE:  They would have been there before the second attack.  They would have been there at a minimum to provide a quick reaction force that could facilitate their exfill out of the problem situation.  Nobody knew how it was going to develop.  And you hear a whole bunch of people and a whole bunch of advisors say hey, we wouldn't have sent them there because, you know, the security was unknown situation.
                HOUSLEY:  No one knew that?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE:  If it's an unknown situation, at a minimum, you send forces there to facilitate the exfill or medical injuries.  We could have sent a C-130 to Benghazi to provide medical evacuation for the injured.
                HOUSLEY:  Our source says many connected to Benghazi feel threatened and are afraid to talk.  So far, confidential sources have fed some information, but nobody has come forward publicly on camera until now.
                UNIDENTIFIED MALE:  The problem is, you know, you got guys, in my position you got guys in special operations community who are -- still active and still involved.  And they would be decapitated if they came forward with information that could affect high level commanders.
                HOUSLEY:  Despite the concern, our confidential source says the community feels there was a betrayal all the way to the top.  And that people on the ground in Benghazi were left to fend for themselves.
                UNIDENTIFIED MALE:  I don't blame them for not coming forward, you know?  It's something that's a risky, especially in a profession to say anything about anything in the realm of politics or that deals with policy.
                HOUSLEY:  Our source provides insight into how the U.S. government and military reacted from the moment the attack began through the immediate hours after Ambassador Chris Stevens went missing, what they were told to do and what not to do as Stevens, diplomatic officer, Sean Smith, and former special operations members, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed.
                UNIDENTIFIED MALE:  There's a lot of responsibility, a lot of onus that needs to be taken up and accounted for.

(EXPLOSION)
                HOUSLEY:  The attack began about 9:30 p.m. on September 11th, 2012 at a diplomatic compound in Benghazi and culminated roughly seven hours later at a second location, a CIA annex about one mile away.
                While the official responses from Washington have been that the assets could not have made it to Benghazi in time to stop the second attack that killed Woods and Dohety, our source says otherwise and insists there were at least two elite military units that could have made it in time, including the one training in Croatia.
                So, besides those guys who went in on their own, we had two more assets that could have been there.
                UNIDENTIFIED MALE:  Two more assets that could have been on the ground.  It's frustrating.  It's upsetting especially being in the community.  The hardest thing to deal with in any kind of, you know, dangerous scenario or gun fight, is, you know, we always look to each other to help each other and that's how we get through situations.  It's not about the assets overhead.  It's about the guys on the ground.
                (GUNFIRE)
                HOUSLEY:  He also says that as the attack began, there were at least
 

15 special forces and highly skilled state department security staff available in the capital Tripoli who were not dispatched, even though they were trained as a quick response force.  Meantime, a group of American reinforcements also in Tripoli, which included the CIA's global response agent, Glen Doherty, and about seven others took matters into their own hands.

A little known fact which also contradicts the version of events in the state department report.  The team commandeered a small jet and flew to Benghazi to help try and secure the CIA annex still under fire.  Doherty would eventually be killed on the roof along with his friend, Tyrone Woods.
And our source say, these men deserve the highest medal of honor for their actions.

                UNIDENTIFIED MALE:  If it wasn't for that decision, I think we'd be talking completely different about this entire situation.  I think you would be looking at either 20 plus hostages loose captured by AQ or you'd be looking at a lot of dead Americans dead in Benghazi.
                (END VIDEOTAPE)
                HOUSLEY (on-camera):  We've heard some of these same details from a number of our other sources who have not yet come on camera, also some of our British sources on the ground that night, Bret.  Tomorrow, more of our exclusive interview including the hunt for those responsible or the hunt that's lack thereof -- Bret.
                BAIER:  Interesting story.  Adam, thank you.  We'll look for part two tomorrow."
