NEW BENGHAZI REVELATION Pentagon was ready to roll during attack, didn't get an OK, email shows
Fox News ^ | December 8,2015

Posted on 12/08/2015 3:36:59 PM PST by Hojczyk

AN EMAIL OBTAINED by a watchdog group reveals that the Pentagon was ready to send military assets as the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi was unfolding, but never got an approval from the State Department — appearing to contradict testimony from Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in 2013, when he said there was no time to get forces to the scene in Libya." ...

we have identified the forces that could move to Benghazi. They are spinning up as we speak.”

- Jeremy Bash, Pentagon chief of staf

In a sane world and an America of pre-1960, this would do Hillary and Obama in.

They might even have been arrested and face charges.

Sounds like some people at the Pentagon refuse to be thrown under the bus. Prayers for these people, as they are about to subjected to some harsh, behind-the-scenes manipulation, likely blackmail and most certain illegal in nature.

We have a full military base at Sigonella, Sicily which is CLOSER to Benghazi than freaking Tripoli.

The troops were fully armed there, rotors turning.

FREAKING NOTHING.

“Peace and Prosperity” was the re-election narrative, and that didn’t fit.

PLUS, an eleborate rescue attempt would shed more attention on their failed Middle East policies.

BETTER TO LET THEM DIE QUIETLY.

No “Cross Border Authority”.

It’s called “Stand Down”...and it can only come from Obama.

Did anyone here ever doubt that the Military was not 100% ready and willing to respond?

The ENTIRE military response that night came from WITHIN Libya.

ALL the King’s well-prepared horses and men had a rescue value of ZERO.

Cuz ONE deeply muslim man refused to do his job.

Beddy-bye for early wake-up for Vegas golf with a rapper and donor$.

Open question to the Military experts:

What if the order had been given by local commanders to launch and then ask permission before firing? Could this have been done and thus forced Obama's hands? Is that why local Commanders were relieved?

The whole ‘NO Stand Down Order’ thing is just spin and BS.

Maybe someone here can correct me, but there is no such thing as a Stand Down Order.

Either you have specific orders to do a mission or you do not.

You can gear up, but if a signed order doesn’t appear you aren’t going anywhere.

So where is the email?
Annoys me when reporters spend more words telling us about a document than the document itself.

There was a spec forces guy (a Colonel I think) who was ready to send troops but was relieved of duty before he could.

If that guy were to testify it would potentially b a game changer.

Pardon me, but this is hardly a NEW revelation.

These accusations flew like snow flurries in January a few days after this travesty.

And clintoon is at the center of it.

The girl belongs in an orange jump suite.
