Obama intentionally made himself unavailable to give cross border authority.
No one could go without it.
Tripoli rescue team told to stand down.
Top Diplomat in Tripoli: Pentagon Told Special Forces to 'Stand Down'Hicks testified he was standing next to a U.S. Army Special Forces officer that night who was instructed not to assist in efforts to secure and evacuate American personnel from Benghazi. The Pentagon says these troops were ordered to remain where they would do the most good.
This might be considered a stand down too.
Whistle-blower: Botched talking points hurt FBI probe of Benghazi attack"Another whistle-blower questioned Wednesday why more military assets were not deployed sooner during the Benghazi terror attack. Mark Thompson, a former Marine and official with the State Department's Counterterrorism Bureau, said he was rebuffed by the White House when he asked for a specialized team -- known as a FEST team -- to be deployed. This is a unit made of special operations personnel, diplomatic security, intelligence and other officers."
Here is a third way a "stand down" policy was implemented IMO.
Blow-by-Blow: How Obama & Hillary Left Americans to Die"Nordstrom further testified in writing that Hillary Clinton waived security requirements for the Benghazi consulate despite high and critical threat levels in the six categories of security standards established under the Overseas Security Policy Board and the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999. The waiver can only be authorized by the Secretary of State, who cannot delegate that responsibility to someone else. ”If the Secretary of State did not waive these requirements, who did so by ordering occupancy of the facilities in Benghazi and Tripoli?” Nordstrom wrote."
Had help been sent in, Benghazi by the sea would have been lit up like a 4th of July fireworks show. Then the whole world would know what really was going on in Libya.
Initial reports claimed

“Film by Sam Bacile, who self-identifies as an Israeli Jew, led to protests at the U.S. consulate in Libya and the U.S. Embassy in Cairo; one American staffer killed in clashes.”
We all know that both Obama and Hillry were very ‘familiar’ with this ‘video’... Which one commissioned its creation? The attempt was to blame Israel for foment unrest.
“As reported in The Christian Post on Thursday, Jones was asked to stop promoting the film after the attacks in Libya and was contacted by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey on Wednesday. Jones told the general he would consider his request not to upload the film to the church's website, but then told reporters he would ignore the Pentagon's request”
