Bristol, who commanded Joint Special Operations Task Force-Trans Sahara at the time of the attack, said he gave the Tripoli security team leader, Lt. Col. S.E. Gibson, permission to act freely in response to the attack, The Hill said, citing a description it had received of the committee's members-only briefing. Gibson told Congress last month he was ordered not to send his team to Benghazi because they were needed in Tripoli in the event of an attack on the U.S. Embassy.
Someone is lying or someone else told LTC Gibson to stand down or someone is playing a semantics game.

Was there a rescue ... or not?
If not, he is liar because CBA
is ONLY issued by the undocumented, unaccountable,
foreign born, pRes_ _ent, who was busy watching
the rapes and murders on live TV.

You would think a SOF commander would have more balls...

Someone is lying is my take on this.
That’s why they were so anxious to muster him out into retirement before he could testify, and even misrepresented his retirement date. (Probably on terminal leave.)
“He didn’t want to have to lie, so they pretended he retired” is my take on this.

JSOC is a military WITHIN the military —they get their high-priority missions STRAIGHT from the Gay Muslim, and you can be sure that the pressure is always VERY intense, to say nothing of how it is after this huge G.F. from hell.
HE IS BUCKING FOR GENERAL AND THIS IS ALL LEGAL SEMANTICS.
I would have expected this from an Air Force General, sure, but from a Marine Colonel somehow this chapter is a very, very bitter pill.
Semper Fi, Colonel...?

My gut feeling is that Bristol is not being straight with us. I really don’t want to think that a Marine is doing that. But I accept the possibility.

Maybe he wants a star as his reward for reading a script.

Mind boggling. They were ordered to help, but didn’t bother to?
Color me skeptical.

He is retiring, but that really means nothing for a bird colonel. He could be brought back on active at a later more propitious time at the drop of a hat.
Then he could get his star.

I felt the same way when a retired Marine judge in Orange County threw out a Constitutional eligibility challenge.

IMO, wherever the Ambassador is, that IS where the embassy is.

Honesty, respect, valor, honor, dignity, duty.. It's all dead. If I want to see all of these things, I watch a Royal wedding in Britain or the North Koreans march.
This is what WE'VE turned into:
