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.

foreign born, pRes_ _ent, who was busy watching

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.

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

Color me skeptical.

Someone is lying

Yes, I'd say way more than one person is lying.

Shameful Military Officers serving a shameful POTUS. Cowards all of them.


This country has not lost an Ambassador since Carter. Well done Obama! Well done US Military!

I am embarrassed that he is a Marine and so obviously let down his brothers-in-arms. I hope that sword he fell on cut to the bone.

A Marine Colonel giving a direct subordinate “permission” to do something.Hell,I rose to the lofty rank of SP5 in the Army but I’ve always believed that an O-6 of *any* branch...particularly the Marines...gave *orders*,not “permission”.

"When you're a REALLY professional Marine, that's where they lean on you in private to lie about something REALLY important, and then you go out before the American public and you lie as you were asked to. The unaided SEALS on the roof bleed out and die, and then I back up those who permitted that. THAT is the essence of being a really professional Marine..." --Colonel Bristol, USMC

Military Scramble Order Overseas, How They Work
First, I've got over 26 years working in military control towers, most of them as the watch supervisor/crew chief on duty.
Scrambling aircraft to respond to urgent situations normally starts at the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
The scramble order comes down through a secured phone call on a direct line.
In the attack on the U.S. embassy on Benghazi, the drone control would have been from MacDill AFB, FL, by U.S. Central Command, and would have been in direct contact, or maybe even remote control to the situation room in the White House.
Watch this 4 minute 48 second video Inside the Situation Room.
The pResident SHOULD HAVE issued to order to scramble fighters to Benghazi, to get there in minimum time.
Then he SHOULD HAVE issued a second order scrambling AC-130 gunships to respond to Benghazi, and have them stand by for more orders. This should have been controlled by the pResident, who should have monitored and responded with guidance from his Situation Room, Read
Here's one more piece of information.
Like Rush said:

Now we know that Obama was in the room watching Benghazi attack live.

I know from experience in the government (over 30 years) that the communication system allows for IMMEDIATE NOTIFICATION to the SITUATION ROOM,
as well as other agencies, of notification of a critical situation such as this.
I'm sure technology has changed and only gotten better since I retired, but read this with focus onFLASH OVERRIDE and FLASH.
There is more you need to read.
Read post #48 of ""Under God" Removed By Obama During Inaguration Pledge" and know that we were warned of this.


This has been planned for a VERY LONG TIME.
Obama is solely responsible for this.
Hillary claimed “No Knowledge” of gun running
and told Rand Paul he needed to ask the CIA
.


Let's look at some of the facts.
So, let us remember. For a better understanding of the issue, read HISTORY of Mohammed ( spelled variously; Mahomet, Muhammed, Mehmet, etc. ). then watch William Federer explain it, from Jan. 25, 2012 at CC Chino Hills, CA. It's a MUST WATCH for everyone,Christians, Athiests and even Muslims!

As retired military myself, I've seen the damage of "keeping secrets" about bad leaders.
Obama is EVIL, pure and simple.
Please watch Glenn Beck with Trevor Loudon & his book "Barack Obama and the Enemies Within".
Then watch the 29 minute 13 seconds video Trevor Loudon- An Urgent (and chilling) Message for America.

Obama may be feigning "incompetence," thinking he's too sly, being a "wolf in sheep's clothing" since his mentoring was from Fabian Fascism..
The "Establishment Republicans" will probably NOT want to IMPEACH the TREASONIST Barack Hussein Obama II.
But it's better for the country that Obama suffer the penalty, the strongest penalty for his actions, and his inactions.
Let's look at the Presidential Oaths of Office.
Now who among us really believes Obama did any of that ?
To Obama, that was "Just words. Just speeches! "
Damn him ! Damn him to hell !

I'll finish this with asking you to read Watch the 18 minute 56 second documentary video "Absolutely Uncertain" at "theBLAZE.com" or on YouTube.com, narrated by Irina, the 23-year-old “Jewish New Yorker” and a former Obama supporter .

One other suggestion, read DID OBAMA WANT STEVENS DEAD?
The language is a little abrasive, but spot on. Also read:

I guess Chaffetz is lying:

AFRICOM Leader General Carter Ham Was Never Ordered to Save US Men in Benghazi

Per Rep. Jason Chaffetz R-UT asking General Ham directly:

(close paraphrase)

Did we have assets in the area? The answer is “yes”.
Did we have proximity? The answer is “yes”.
Why we didn’t send in some of those assets? The general said he was not requested to do so.

If he gave that order and there was no “stand down” order then why the hell were not a bunch of troops or their Lieutenant or captain or whatever COURT-MARTIALED for disobeying an order?????

So if there was no stand-down order, I’m sure investigators can have immediate access to all the survivors, who signed non-disclosure statements for no good reason.

RIGHT?
