The Navy said Saturday it is replacing the admiral in command of an aircraft carrier strike group in the Middle East, pending the outcome of an internal investigation into undisclosed allegations of inappropriate judgment.
Rear Adm. Charles M. Gaouette is being sent back to the USS John C. Stennis' home port at Bremerton, Wash., in what the Navy called a temporary reassignment. The Navy said he is not formally relieved of his command of the Stennis strike group but will be replaced by Rear Adm. Troy M. Shoemaker, who will assume command until the investigation is completed.
It is highly unusual for the Navy to replace a carrier strike group commander during its deployment.

WHO IS THE WHITE HOUSE MOLE? (Leon Panetta's Communist Party USA ties)
Wolf Blitzer Should Apologize To Allen West
"A Democratic member of Congress from 1945 to 1947, DeLacy was a CPUSA member, but his party membership was only confirmed after he left the House. After he left Congress, he moved from Washington state to California and lived in a congressional district served by then-Rep. Leon Panetta. Back in 1983 Panetta inserted a tribute into the Congressional Record recognizing DeLacy and his wife Dorothy, another communist, for their commitment to “social justice” and resisting “the dark forces of McCarthyism.” Panetta had provided DeLacy a sensitive congressional document dealing with military affairs."
Brought up by his “Uncle” Frank Marshall Davis, Obama knows his Stalin well - especially what worked to keep him firmly in control of his empire.
You know how history tends to repeat itself...
Something is very apt to happen within our military any day now, and I’m afraid it isn’t going to be pretty.
We may be seeing the beginning of it even now.
I’ve looked over most of the comments on this thread and I can see the logic of where most people are coming from. I do have some hope though in the fact that the members of our armed forces are all volunteers. That fact tends to weed out those who entered the forces with a ‘chip on their shoulder’ like I saw during the Viet-Nam war and the draftees. And things like ‘fragging’ came about because of it.
Today though I think that a general purge of officers might have the opposite effect on the troops. Unlike in Stalin’s Army there aren’t “loyal” forces following the main shock wave of ground troops with orders to shoot anyone who appeared to be lagging behind or not showing the “proper fervor”.
But even with these factors in our favor, I believe that real bad things could be happening and may even now be unstoppable. Perhaps Benghazi and the Cover-up I see occurring, is just the tip of the Iceberg here?
Maybe he didn’t accomodate the homosexuals bunk partner requests quickly enough.
Issa issued a subtle, (or not) plea on Friday night....saying something to the effect of it would be good if the video from the attack was leaked.
Time for these 2 military men to be issued a subpoena to get to the bottom of this...I’m betting they’ll be happy to talk about the events of that day under oath....
I hadn't heard that one. Good grief.
From what I understand, it was common practice in the Soviet Navy to have at least one KGB “Political Officer” on board to monitor the scuttlebutt; often imbedded secretly among the crew no one knew who it was but they knew they were being watched so were very circumspect as to what they said about their communist “leadership”.
Another duty of the PO, especially on the nuclear subs - if there was any deviation from orders they were to scuttle the boat with all hands - including themselves - aboard.
Apparently it’s not hard to send a sub to the bottom for good from the inside if you know what you’re doing, and the POs did.
I would be surprised if our military isn’t infested with Obama’s equivalent of the KGB - probably most of them Muslims, but some may actually be trained by the KGB.
Would expect every ship to have at least one on board at all times, and several assigned to every post.
They probably have a list of all personnel who are a little too Christian, Jewish, or “Patriotic”. When the purge goes hard, they will be going down their little list taking care of business.
Expect lots of “workplace violence” and landfills full of America’s finest... if they don’t wake up and take preemptive measures, that is. Those measures might have to be a little drastic for all I know... which ain’t much really.
For some reason, I don’t think they have a lot of time left, whatever’s coming down.
It would help to know if the Stennis was in the Med or the Persian Gulf on 9 Sep 2012.
Okie sent me this: “I believe the Stennis is in the Arabian Sea. At the time of the Benghazi event, there were no carriers in the Mediterranean.”
See post #10 of this thread.
Thanks. I also saw on another thread that the Stennis is in the Persian Gulf.
Right - they can't have it both ways.
With Obama and Jarrett, maybe they can....eventually, its got to fall apart.
Its going to fall apart, right? Isn't it going to fall apart soon?
With these people in power, this is not the America I grew up in.
I read on another thread that Hillary was trying to get permission from Libya to fly over their airspace - over their borders. Apparently you HAVE to ask for it.
Screw it, US territory was being ATTACKED. The embassy and the consulate are US SOIL. It is WAR. Why do you HAVE to ask Libya for ANYTHING!?
And he just happened to be relieved of his command now - during Benghazi - when it was politically a disaster for Obama - right before the election - right before he said screw it, we're going in to help consulate personnel - while the personnel were under attack - on US soil as consulates and embassies are - after only moments after his second in command apparently relieved Ham under Ham's duress?
I don't think it was a zipper problem.
Do you really think a zipper problem is why Ham was so unceremoniously relieved of his command only moments after he decided the consulate needed back up?
Jeepers. Thanks for the ping!
If it was a bunch of girl scouts I’d agree that they shouldn’t go into an area unless it was safe. But for God’s sake this is the military we’re talking about - and our people were on the ground being slaughtered. Is someone implying that taking out a target that was shooting at our people was too ‘dangerous’ for an airplane? This is bull...
“General Ham then received the order to stand down.”
Good post. Remember, Obama has taken great pride in saying that Libya was liberated without American blood being shed. Obama did not want potential voters to wake up to our uniformed military being KIA.
So, DOD assets were told to stand down as CIA subcontractors, whose presence could be concealed, were tasked with extracting diplomatic assets from the Mission. Also, those operators were familiar with the battlefield and were leveraged with local friendly militia.
As the battlefield was so unshaped and on/off and populated by hostiles of unknown strength and unknown weapons, this was a reasonable tactical choice anyway.
Other rapid response units that could have gotten there would have been too little and too late.
General Ham and Africom, were frustrated that in this theater of their responsibility, they were not in position to act effectively.
Agreed.
