Wondered about that, too. Petraeus? Petraeus, under C in C orders?
Sorry for burp on 127.
Good add ons
...and their liberalism and stupidity and incompetence. MSM is complicit. Do they know it. They should report on THEMSELVES or each other. (right)
Petraeus is CIA, retired from the military.
The guy would be Gen. Martin Dempsey, CJCS, who is, coincidentally, in Israel meeting with Ehud Barak, the leftist Israeli Defense Minister who likely will lose his seat in the Kenesset.
They chose not to send help because they were caught with their pants down. Why is the US in Libya recovering weapons that belong to Libya? What right does the US have to send the US military into a country that we are not at war with? What right does the US have to have spies blowing up Libyans? It would have taken cue balls that BamBam doesn’t have to send in the help that would have saved Doherty and Woods. As it was, BamBam sent in a quick reaction force that had to have permission from the Libyan government every step of the way to the safe house and back to the airport. As it is, Doherty and Woods can be painted as rogue warriors who violated official orders from BamBam. It is a pretty clear message that Obama is a coward.
Well, the MB is AQ. And AQ is inextricably linked to Iran (Iran has done safehousing both for the bin Ladens, Zawahiri and al Amriki. And Jarret is Iranian.
We watched the MB recruiting suicide candidates 6 days before the original 9.11.
One of the recruiters was at O’s Cairo speech.
Oh, and one Pak minister declared a long time ago that Obama is the new global Kaliph.
Nope.
Only the NCA, specifically the CinC, POTUS.
CJCS doesn’t have that authority (C&S 101). Only the Natl Command Authority or President would be in his operational command chain. SecDef might also have the authority, but technically the NCA forms the JTFs and is the only one with authority to terminate those commands. Joint Chiefs provide staffing support and are generally used by POTUS to coordinate between higher authority and the CinCs.
The guy would be Gen. Martin Dempsey, CJCS."
Thanks for education, jjotto.
Interesting.
Why do you suppose Panetta cited Dempsey as one of the principal decision-makers?
