Ignore the writer's snarkiness to see the General attempt to explain the stand down order.

Kudos to Sens Johnson and Ayotte for asking the questions.

WHERE WAS OBAMA THAT NIGHT?

( I think that is the story being hidden by all these other shiny things )

By the third word of the article, “challenges”, I knew I’d need to find a barf bag. What’s the matter with those lawmakers who stay “preoccupied” with Obama’s dereliction of duty, probably being on a conference call with his Vegas ground team while the Ambassador was being dragged to his death?

the death of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, last Sept. 11 continues to preoccupy some lawmakers

Yeah, how petty it is for "some lawmakers" to persist in getting at the elusive truth as to what happened that night. Don't they know we've all moved on and there's nothing to see here?

... see the General attempt to explain the stand down order.

Yea, he twists words and their meaning in order to attempt to say the forces were NOT told to 'stand down'. Timing?! Complete dissembling.

Where is Lt. Colonel Gibson? I would love to hear his direct Congressional testimony about his perception of what happened the night of 9/11/2012 and whether he thinks they were told to "stand down". Gregory Hicks gave compelling testimony as to his perception at the time ...

Q: How did the personnel react to being told to ‘Stand Down’?

A: They were furious. I can only say … well I will quote Lt. Colonel Gibson … he said this is the first time in my career that a diplomat has more balls than somebody in the military.

The stand down order was NOT given to the Army Special Forces anywhere. The order was given to the cia contractors, the ex NAVY SEALS, NOT ONCE BUT TWICE. THEY disobeyed those orders. dempsey used a different time, a different place that had nothing to do with the SEALs. NO orders were forthcoming from anyone to do anything anywhere. NO ONE could act on their own because only the president has the authority to give a crossborder order. THAT did not happen. He left them to die.

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

These dumbass admirals and generals sit around and tell each other, “If we say anything, the Democrats will cut our budget!” Here’s a news flash for the flag officers......the Democrats will cut your budget anyway.
