I hope General Ham proceeds directly from his retirement ceremony to the TV news studio...

And spills the beans -- beyond political spin or repair...

The deaths still lie at the feet of the president who tried to downplay terrorism by denial after denial. I await it blowing up in his face....to put it nicely.

By now, we should long have had a clear view of how things went down in Washington, if not in Libya.

* When exactly did the President learn on the attack? Was he notified promptly or did he not learn about it for some time? If so, why?

* How was he notified? What was he doing and who was he with?

* What actions did he take upon learning the news? What orders did he issue, and why? To whom did he issue these orders? Did he meet with advisers in a situation room?

Yet when questioned, Obama acts like he was only peripherally involved, if he was even involved at all.
“Really, Mr. President? You can't tell us ANYTHING about what went on until “all the facts are in”? Don't you even REMEMBER wht YOU did?!!”

“Someone high up in the administration,” Lyons writes, “let our people get killed”

Yes, he's right. People high up let our people get killed. By inaction allowed the murder and rape of good men.

The New York Times will NOT care about this story until 'in-some-fashion' blame can be pinned on a person perceived to be somewhat conservative. Nothings going to happen until that scapegoat can be found and exposed a few days before the election... Then all the sycophantic newspapers in the country will WAKE up and follow the New York Times.

“However on Monday October 29 a defense official told The Washington Times that “the decision [to leave AFRICOM] was made by General Ham.”

After Benghazi (but only about halfway through his tour).

OK. If the Annex and the mission are American soil in Benghazi, then why didn’t we send in a big military force to secure them after the fight?

I am shocked that General Petraeus has remained silent on this - I cannot believe he wasn’t privy to Zero (or the Africom Commander) giving the “stand down” order.

I have to believe, that Romney, if this election were within any sort of margin of error, would be discussing this issue daily.

But Romney knows that he is clear of Obama, and needs to avoid any move that changes the current election dynamic. The idea that we let Congress deal with this later, is the right action IF, indeed, Romney is going to be our next President.

As hopeful as I am about this election, winning the Senate seems out of reach sadly. If someone believes otherwise, please, share that with me!

When are men going to stand up and say "This will NOT stand"

Instead what we have are wimps that sit by and complain, whimper and accept that they will not do anything except sit and complain.

Bush had The Surge...

Obama had The Purge.

James Robbins notes that the White House insisted that Ham took part in the decision not to supply assistance to the consulate, but Ham told Rep. Jason Chaffetz that no one had asked him about it.
