If true, that is really unbelieveable that this admininstration did nothing to help our men in trouble. How could Obama and his crew just stand by and watch? That is not the American way. We would try, at least try to do something.
I think about as much of Obama as I did about John Kennedy after the bay of pigs attempted invasion. That was another example of when the president should have done something.

The more I think about it, the more this (stand down) sounds like the work of President Jarrett.

Yes, Obozo’s Farsi speaking sidekick is a truly evil person.

Traitors both.

That is not the American way.

Exactly but if you are not American anyway...who cares. Everythig the regime does is politically inspired. Stevens and the rest were taken out in the midst of a close race,whether or not things got screwed up or not it was still a political operation.Dead men tell no tales.That should tell you all you need to know.

There is absolutely no doubt that the order or refusal to order came from the commander in chief. Everyone under the “messiah” was ordered to say whatever he told them to say.

He deliberately refused to help Americans under fire from bearded savages because his heart lies on the side of the bearded savages.

Yesterday Leon Panetta claimed that he and General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, and General Carter Ham, head of the U.S. military's Africa Command, felt they couldn't 'put forces at risk in that situation.'

The reason that is the lamest BS excuse imaginable is that we had forces under fire.

---------------------------------------------

Three Facts

Fact One:

1) Only the POTUS can authorize a CBA (cross border authority) command for a rescue mission in a foreign nation.

Plus Fact Two:

2) No rescue mission was attempted.

Equals Fact Three:

3) 0bama turned his back on 41 State Dept. and CIA employees refusing to issue a CBA command and went to bed so he could go to Las Vegas the next day.

--------------------------------------------------------

Something to e-mail to every talking head, every Senator and every House rep.

Yes, I know about CBA.

There is some reason to believe that the assets were over the target and permission to use them were denied.

That would not be dependent on CBA.

If Woods had the target painted multiple times, the assets were in place. It was not used. Who do you blame?

Any forces from outside Libya’s borders would require a CBA.

Have read that both armed drones and AC-130H’s were already within Libya. We helped the Libyan rebels with air power before.

Now, I do not have proof, but the fact that the target was painted by Woods is a good indicator the assets were in place.

I read that the AC-130s were removed in July.

The Benghazi fiasco is an impeachable offense if ever there was one.

Time for Watergate style hearings.

Congress should be gathering evidence for impeachment proceedings.

Obama is criminally incompetent.

(New) AC-130U Gunship was On-Scene in Benghazi, Obama Admin Refused to Let It Fire

"There were two AC-130Us deployed to Libya in March as part of Operation Unified Protector." (The operation officially ended on 31 October 2011, after the rebel leaders, formalized in the National Transitional Council, had declared Libya liberated on 23 October.)

That is the origin of the rumor that AC-130s might have been in Libya. It was never more than a speculation.

Bigger than Watergate: Proof that the President is Lying about Benghazi?

There is another article that fed the early speculation that something armed was in the sky over Benghazi based on the report that Woods was 'lazing' a target. Later articles proved that there could be a number of reasons he might have been 'lazing' a target without any air support above. There are different kinds of targeting scopes and it was proven that they had them at the 'annex.' Some will store the targeting info digitally to upload at any later time.

Bigger than Watergate: Proof that the President is Lying about Benghazi?

"Update 3: Jeff Emanuel thinks that we might be jumping to conclusions and that Jennifer Griffin at FoxNews might have misreported a statement about active laser on a target. I highly respect Jeff and Jennifer. And either could be correct right now. Hopefully, we'll get some clarification."

It took me a while to sift through my bookmarks but that is probably the best thread on the subject of possible air assets being overhead during the attack. Many of the posts are worth reading too.
