But all this "prior intelligence and threat info" is being swept under the rug, because the current admin failed big time to read a calendar (9/11).
I know they were also talking about a CIA response team.

The Marines would have also been a great choice. And again, there would have been hundreds of dead islamists in the streets.

I doubt they stood down because of no airlift out of the target area...... Marines don't stand-down. They would have gone in, secured the Americans and defended until airlift arrived.
