Two of my SEAL brothers (Doherty and Woods) were in Benghazi, working with the CIA on an intelligence mission to locate shoulder fired surface-to-air missiles that were stolen by Al Qaeda when Libya fell. They heard several shots being fired near the consulate. It was recorded that Ty radioed to inform his superiors and tell them what he was hearing and requested permission to assist at the consulate. However, they were told to “stand down!” An hour later, they called again to report the gunfire and requested to assist and were again told to “stand down!” WHY? And by whom? Only the President can give the order to military units to cross a country’s borders.
On or about midnight, while shooting in various areas was still going on, it was reported that Woods and Doherty called for any U.S. military support they could get because they were taking fire at the CIA safe house/annex. The request was denied. There were no communications problems at the annex, according those present at the compound (which was verified by the radio recordings and by the drone that was flying overhead.) The team was in constant radio contact with their headquarters. In fact, it was reported that Doherty was on the roof of the annex manning a heavy machine gun killing several terrorists when mortars were fired at the CIA compound. Because they knew that there was a drone overhead, Woods had a laser on the mortar position for targeting. However, the drone was reported to be unarmed.
It was reported that both Woods and Doherty were killing every terrorist that appeared. Ty repeatedly requested back-up support from a Specter gunship that was in a neutral area. This is a C-130 aircraft that fires 20mm bullets (about the size of a man’s thumb) and

Travis, you called it months ago right after it happened.
Only the President can give the order to military units to cross a country’s borders.
Bammy got caught with his fingers in the jihad!
Obama lied. Navy seals and the ambassador died.
nobama and his commie pals murdered the brave Americans.
0bama was notified immediately and automatically when the Benghazi consulate triggered the "Imminent Danger Notification System" alert. He did nothing.

There are three scandals here...

Denial of requests for security were a dereliction of duty. The lies and misdirection about the "video" after the attack were fraud and malfeasance under the color of authority. The inaction during the attack was something more than that.
The failure to act during the attack is the direct equivalent of desertion IMO.
ONE man had the authority to act that night.
EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say
0bama deserted 41 people!
Obama is a BASTARD - in more than one way,
That was a long time ago, what difference does it make?
/sarcasm
A more accurate account of what happened is found in Brandon Webb’s ebook. (With a coauthor whose name escapes me).
My belief from the beginning was that this was orchestrated so that Obama could hand over the Blind Sheik in a swap for Chris Stevens..but he didn’t expect the other 3 men to arrive..when they did it foiled his plan and Obama just said F it let them all die
Obama-Ben-Ghazi
Osama-Bin-Ghazi
Obama Ben Ghazi
Everything about Libya stinks.
Obama never got authorization from congress to take military action in Libya.
Then it took a charter ship from Malta 3 days to rescue western citizens, when there is a US naval presence just hours away.
Nothing sticks to this ***hole.
The African communist has America’s Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms in his pocket, but there’s little he can do about the real news media.
When it first happened, we learned of obama giving the orders to ‘stand down’ and he was never called to explain. So he, basically, left those Americans to die. Not sure why this is news now but it is good that it’s being brought up again.
