Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods - Boldly Into The Breach

....

According to what scant actual information is available the former seal team members, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, appear to have been in Libya because they were contracted by another intelligence office, probably the CIA, to track down the missing surface-to-air missiles from the initial rebel uprising.

During the Gadaffi overthrow massive stockpiles of Libyan weapons including MANPADS and other surface to air missiles were looted from the military storage facilities. Estimates put the number of missing missiles around 20,000.

It appears Doherty and Woods were in Libya to track down those weapons. As a consequence of their visit they were crashed at an annex to the US consulate grounds using it as a safe place to meet, coordinate, and evaluate their ongoing intel. Their location was approximately a half mile from the main consulate compound area.
They were inside an annex building when the main consulate complex came under attack from the Libyan al-Qaeda terrorists. They heard the distant shots and responded to a call for help from the compound itself. Both Woods and Doherty evaluated the assassination attempt, and immediately took up arms to defend Ambassador Stevens.

Their heroism is incredible when you consider what they were facing. Doherty and Woods reached the main compound of the Consulate and evacuated approximately 20 employees. Unfortunately, Ambassador Steven’s aide Sean Smith was already dead when they arrived. Woods and Doherty fought through the firefight, and took the consulate employees back to the annex building where again they came under another wave of attacks.

Between the initial firefight at the Main Consulate, and at the annex building, for over two hours they were able to fight back against approximately 200 al-Qaeda terrorists, who pre-planned and coordinated the attack to occur in two stages.

The second wave of attacks at the annex brought even more firepower upon them. Yet they held their position providing time for the 20 consulate employees to be rescued. In total for over two hours they held off upwards of 200 attackers, under heavy fire from RPGs, mortars, and at least one 23mm Anti Aircraft gun firing on their position(s) around the consulate grounds and the annex building.

still less than 50% total..

I hope everyone reads this so the real story is known, and these brave men are not forgotten.

I guess my title sucks. I can't imagine zero interest in this.

Feel free to re share with a jazzier title.. Should be seen by everyone.

Thanks :)

Green pinned to honor personal integrity and heroism.

Thank you so much! :)

The Doherty family is huge and international.

Saddened and do SEE.

Thank you

Bump!

Yes, I just knew when this all first happened that they could not have been part of the consulate security, because they would NEVER have allowed that debacle to happen! They would have never allowed it.

I hope that someday the real story comes to the public. WHY there was no security at the consulate on 9/11, and why Ambassador Stevens was ordered to BenGhazi on that day with NO security, and WHO ordered him there; all these facts need to come to light. Additional security had been requested for the consulate and denied, WHO denied it?? There are procedures in place for such requests, and CLERKS don't make that level of decision - so WHO did?

The Navy Seals have had to take a lot of sh*t during this President's administration, and I'm sure they will be relieved to see him go. I am remembering how suspicious that helicopter crash of Seal Team Six was less than a month after the Bin Laden raid that OBAMA claims to have so successfully performed, guess he didn't want anyone else to have any credit for his magnificent accomplishment.

The congressional hearing on the Benghazi, Libya Consulate attack is schedule for today at Noon Eastern.

It isn't the thread title.
