JERUSALEM – In a bombshell admission that has until now gone unreported, Martin Dempsey, chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, conceded that highly trained Special Forces were stationed just a few hours away from Benghazi on the night of the attacks but were not told to deploy to Libya.

In comments that may warrant further investigation, Dempsey stated at a Senate hearing Wednesday that on the night of the Sept. 11, 2012, attack, command of the Special Forces – known as C-110, or the EUCOM CIF – was transferred from the military’s European command to AFRICOM, or the United States Africa Command.

Yes

ugh....yes...there were 3 times stand down was given...that is in testimony

[null and void]

They were hung out to die to cover up gun smuggling to Syrian “rebels”.

At best.

At worst, they were supposed to capture Amb Stevens and allow obama to triumphantly negotiate his release just in time to prove he's no Carter and cinch the election.

When a couple SF types showed up and killed a bunch of them, the muzzies (who would betray a trust in a heartbeat) assumed they'd been set-up and sodomized, murdered and sodomized the would-be hostage out of pure spite.

I had to go to Sigonella once to fix a plane that had diverted there. My ship (JFK) also lost its anchor there.

And General Ham? head of AFRICOM was relieved of command based on his actions that night - right?

A couple others suddenly took early retirement or some such excuse hooey.

Yeah, one was so drunk on her ass that she was unable to bable coherently, the other was so drug addled that he was unconscious.

That's certainly a possible explanation but an even more likely one,IMO,is that the SoS was too busy planning her run in '16 to make the call but she knew that that wasn't a problem because Osama Obama was on his way to that Vegas fundraiser so she would have gotten his voicemail if she *had* made it.

Special Forces? F-16’s could have been there in 20 minutes, from wheels up to arrival. At the very least they could have provided air support until boots on the ground could arrive.

wnd takes a story and milks it until the cows die.

There was at least one recon drone in the area.....as far as I'm concerned that's a Kamikaze.

You stuff that drone into the site illuminated by the Special Forces guys on the ground and it's a game changer.

We had an asset on site and it was a drone.

General Ham is retired. His last command was AFRICOM, lasting from March 8, 2011 to April 5, 2013. Reportedly, General Ham was attending a previously scheduled meeting at the Pentagon when the attack occurred.

If wouldn’t have taken much to scatter the attack. They were intentionally left to die.

They were “hung out to dry” b/c Hillary! and 0bama wanted to bolster the “light footprint” image for how the 0 administration dealt with the Moslem areas.

Unfortunatly, not all the al quida groups got the light footprint memo.

[citizen]

For my opinion, I figure all/most of the recent revalations were to obscure the 0 administrations criminal failings in Benghazi.
