A source with intimate information about the events that happened on the ground in Benghazi the night the U.S. Consulate and the CIA annex was attacked by terrorists told Breitbart News that, ultimately, only the President of the United States, or someone acting on his authority, could have prevented Special Forces either on the ground or nearby from helping those Americans who were under deadly assault.
According to the source, when the attack on the Consulate occurred, a specific chain of command to gain verbal permission to move special-forces in must have occurred. SOCAFRICA commander Lieutenant Col. Gibson would have contacted a desk officer at the time, asking for that permission.
That desk officer would have called Marine Corps Col. George Bristol, then in command of Joint Special Operations Task Force-Trans Sahara. From there, Bristol would have made contact with Rear Admiral Brian Losey, then Commander of Special Operations Command Africa. Losey would have contacted four-star General Carter Ham, commander of U.S. AFRICOM at the time.

Thanks again Meg. I spent a lot of time on that but couldn’t get her hands to ‘jitter’ as fast as I wanted. I used the fastest ‘delay’ in my program, lol.
I want General Ham to be required to testify under oath, and I believe what happened was this:
(1) General Ham called the Office of the President and said he was ready to launch the military rescue operation.
(2) Valerie Jarrett took his call and told him to stand down.
(3) General Ham said he didn’t take orders from her.
(4) She called General Ham’s deputy and told him to relieve General Ham and stand down the operation.
You need to post it again on the hearing threads..I thought the hands were terrific!
I posted it there on the first or second page of the live thread but didn’t want to post more after all the discussion started. Thanks again for your compliments - that makes it worthwhile to me!
I also wish that General Ham would have arrested his deputy officer, rather then submitting to him/her, if that is what had happened.

Reaching that point will take a while...this gives a whole new urgency to the 2014 Senatorial election races.
There will not be nor can there be any sort of accountability/justice/morals etc. when the Dems are in charge of any part of the US government.....They can’t be shamed into doing the right thing like the Republicans can.....
