 The war in Libya has been under way for months, without any indication of when it might end.
Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s faction has been stronger and more cohesive than imagined
and his enemies weaker and more divided. This is not unusual. There is frequently a perception
that dictators are widely hated and that their power will collapse when challenged. That is
certainly true at times, but often the power of a dictator is rooted in the broad support of an
ideological faction, an ethnic group or simply those who benefit from the regime. As a result,
naive assumptions of rapid regime change are quite often replaced by the reality of protracted
conflict.

This has been a characteristic of what we have called “humanitarian wars,” those undertaken to
remove a repressive regime and replace it with one that is more representative. Defeating a
tyrant is not always easy. Gadhafi did not manage to rule Libya for 42 years without some
substantial support.

Nevertheless, one would not expect that, faced with opposition from a substantial anti-regime
faction in Libya as well as NATO and many other countries, Gadhafi would retain control of a
substantial part of both the country and the army. Yet when we look at the situation carefully, it
should be expected.

The path many expected in Libya was that the support around Gadhafi would deteriorate over
time when faced with overwhelming force, with substantial defections of senior leaders and the
disintegration of his military as commanders either went over to the other side en masse, taking
their troops with them, or simply left the country, leaving their troops leaderless. As the
deterioration in power occurred, Gadhafi — or at least those immediately around Gadhafi —
would enter into negotiations designed for an exit. That hasn’t happened, and certainly not to
the degree that it has ended Gadhafi’s ability to resist. Indeed, while NATO airpower might be
able to block an attack to the east, the airstrikes must continue because it appears that Gadhafi
has retained a great deal of his power.

Sean Smith’s Mom: Obama Didn’t

Follow-Up on Personal Promise; Asks
Congress: ‘Please, Please Help Me Find

(CNSNews.com) - Patricia Smith--the mother of Foreign Service

Officer Sean Smith, who was murdered by terrorists in Benghazi
seven months ago today--says that President Barack Obama and
other administration officials did not follow-up on promises they
made to her personally when she traveled to Washington, D.C.
last September to meet the return to the United States of her
son’s casket.
Mrs. Smith says she wants to know why her son and the others at
the State Department compound in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012
were abandoned by their government.

“Please, Please help me find out who is responsible and fix it so

no more of our sons and daughters are abandoned by the country
they love,” she said in a letter sent Monday to Rep. Frank Wolf
(R.-Va.)

“When I was in Wash. DC at the reception of the caskets, I asked

for and received promises from Pres. Obama, Hillary Clinton,
Leon Panetta, VP Biden and several other dignitaries in
attendance,” Mrs. Smith said in her letter. “They all looked me
directly in the eyes and promised they would find out and let me
know. I got only one call from a clerk about a month later quoting
from the time line, which I already had.”

Mrs. Smith told Rep. Wolf--to whom she had also placed an
unsolicited telephone call on Monday afternoon--that she was
endorsing legislation he has proposed—H. Res. 36—to establish
a special House committee specifically for the purpose of
investigating the Benghazi attack and how the Obama
administration handled it and its aftermath.
Sean Smith, who signed up to serve in the U.S. Air Force when
he was only 17 years old, was 34 when he died last Sept. 11. By
then, he had served a decade in the State Department, working
as information management specialist.

In addition to his mother and father, Smith also left behind his
wife, Heather, and two children, Nathan and Samantha.

Wolf’s resolution now has 89 co-sponsors in the House and was

endorsed last week by a group of 700 special operations
veterans, led by retired Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin, who worked with
the Central Intelligence Agency, and was commander of Delta
Force, and the U.S. Special Forces Command before becoming
assistant secretary of defense for intelligence.

the United States. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)

The special-forces veterans said a House special committee on

Benghazi is needed so that at least 16 unanswered questions can
be seriously investigated and answered for the American people.
These range from why there was no military response while the
protracted series of attacks was taking place in Benghazi to who
specifically was in the White House Situation Room as it unfolded.

They also include:

--“What data (which will reveal exact timelines and command
decisions) is contained within the various SITREPS, records, logs,
videos and recordings maintained by the myriad of DOD,
Intelligence Community and State Department Command Centers
that were monitoring the events in Benghazi as they unfolded?”

--“Why did the Commander-in Chief and Secretary of State never

once check in during the night to find out the status of the crisis
situation in Benghazi?” 

--“What was the nature of Ambassador Stevens’ business in

Benghazi at the time of the attack?”

--“What guidance has been provided to survivors and family

members since the time of the attack, and who issued that
guidance?”

In her letter, Mrs. Smith said she completely agreed with the
sixteen questions the special veterans were asking and the need
for the special committee Rep. Wolf is requesting.

“I especially want to know WHY the four were abandoned the way
they were,” she said. “My son told me that he saw someone
taking pictures just before this happened and reported it. He told
me they asked repeatedly for better security.”

“It is very difficult to find out Leon Panetta advised Pres. Obama
that the attack was occurring and Pres. Obama went to bed
without sending help,” said Mrs. Smith. “It is too late for my son
but not too late for those that follow.”

When she testified about Benghazi in the Senate Foreign

Relations Committee on Jan. 23, then-Secretary of State Clinton
explained that keeping State Department personnel safe in their
overseas postings was a “personal” matter with her—exemplified
when she stood with President Obama and hugged the family
members of the Benghazi victims when their caskets arrived
home at Andrews Air Force Base.

“For me, this is not just a matter of policy, it's personal,” said
Clinton. “I stood next to President Obama as the Marines carried
those flag draped caskets off the plan at Andrews. I put my arms
around the mothers and fathers, the sisters and brothers, the
sons and daughters and the wives left alone to raise their
children.”

Sean Smith, KG4WSS, Killed in Consulate

Attack
TAGS: Active Operator, air force, Baghdad, bill cross, Falls Church, San Diego, temporary
assignment, Tuesday night, us air force

09/18/2012

Sean P. Smith, KG4WSS, of Falls Church, Virginia, was killed when the US
Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was attacked on September 11. He was 34.
Smith was one of four Americans, including Chris Stevens -- the US
Ambassador to Libya -- who was killed in the attack.

Smith -- a native of San Diego -- enlisted in the Air Force in 1995 at age 17.
He served six years as a ground radio maintenance specialist, including a
deployment to Oman, before leaving the service in 2002 as a staff
sergeant. He was awarded the Air Force Commendation Medal. Smith,
who had worked at the State Department for 10 years, was in Libya on a
temporary assignment when he was killed; Before his temporary
assignment to Benghazi, Smith served for the State Department in
Brussels, Baghdad, Pretoria, Montreal and The Hague.

“Sean was a friend of mine, and while he was not a very active operator he
was an extremely skilled electronic technician,” James Kirkham, W4HFK,
told the ARRL. “He was instrumental in getting me back into the hobby after
a 10 year hiatus.”

Smith was well known in the online gaming community as an avid

participant of the space fantasy game EVE Online, where he was known
as “Vile Rat,” one of the leaders of a gamers’ alliance and renowned for his
diplomatic skill in the multi-player space warfare simulation.
“If you play this stupid game, you may not realize it, but you play in a
galaxy created in large part by Vile Rat’s talent as a diplomat,” said Smith’s
friend Alex Gianturco, in a tribute posted on his website. No one focused
as relentlessly on using diplomacy as a strategic tool as VR.” Gianturco
wrote that Smith had been under fire before, when he was posted to
Baghdad. When that occurred, he usually broke off his messaging. “We’d
freak out and he’d come back okay after a bit,” Gianturco wrote. “But
Tuesday night, after reporting ‘GUNFIRE,’ he disconnected and never
returned.” A few hours earlier that evening, Smith posted the following:
“assuming we don’t die tonight. We saw one of our ‘police’ that guard the
compound taking pictures.”
Smith is survived by his wife, Heather, and two young children, Samantha
and Nathan. “They will grow up being proud of the service their father gave
to our country, service that took him from Pretoria to Baghdad, and finally
to Benghazi,” Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a
statement.  – Thanks to The Washington Post, CNN, the US Air Force,
