For years, the Obama Administration has stood behind two excuses (given under oath) for not sending a quick reaction force to assist in rescuing American citizens during the Sept. 11, 2012 al Qaeda-linked attacks on the U.S. consulate and CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya, which resulted in the deaths of four Americans. The first excuse being: There were no forces available that could have responded quickly. The second reason was: Even if they had scrambled more people, they couldn't have gotten there in time to make a difference.
Now, an email, hidden for three years, has come to light and refutes the Obama Administration's narrative as to why our boys at Benghazi weren't given the reinforcements that may have saved their lives.
Former Defense Department Chief of Staff, Jeremy Bash, sent an email to the State Department early into the attacks that clearly states that we had multiple quick reaction forces ready to action on the objective, which adds further significant proof that the rescue forces were deliberately stopped by the White House.
Bash's email, sent to top State Department officials just three hours into the eight hour ordeal said, "...we have identified the forces we could move to Benghazi. They are spinning up as we speak. They include a SOF (Special Operations Forces) element that was in Croatia, and a Marine FAST unit out of Roda, Spain." Meaning, there were at least two elite units that were at REDCON-1 (all personnel geared up, seated on the aircraft, weapons ready, with the engines started). They just needed clearance from the Commander in Chief to enter Libya. That clearance never came.

Edmund Burke was absolutely wrong.
The facts are that “Good men always confront evil.”
Now, put your little pussy statement away.
If he wasn’t alerted through official channels somebody needs to be fired.
Jail as a short stopover before being in front of a firing squad.
That is because Obola was coked out of his mind that night
^ This +1
They were just kitted up ready to go to make Obama look bad.
Who do they think they are to think on their own without their Micro Manager’s say so.
The fact that no reaction force went to Benghazi made that obvious. We knew it and said it on FR within a week or two of the attack.
Only the POTUS had the authority to act!
0bama was notified immediately and automatically when the Benghazi consulate triggered the "Imminent Danger Notification System" alert. He did nothing.
The failure to act during the attack is the direct equivalent of desertion IMO.
ONE man had the authority to act that night.
ONE man deserted his post!
EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say
0bama abandoned his post. 0bama Is A Deserter!
0bama did nothing!!!
What is “CBA required”
Cross Border Authorization required?
get real.
The local field command (the LT’s and Captains (USMC, CDR’s and LCDR’s (USN) can START getting ready, can load aircraft and can load people on aircraft.
Even higher, they can get permission to take off - if the COL’s and generals and admirals are brave enough to say “go”- but they CANNOT cross borders without specific JCS-WH orders.
I’m shocked...are you telling me rumours that the US did at one time have a modern military that could deploy special forces or supersonic airplanes that might have been able to provide help and firepower to help stranded US citizens in Libya. NO WAY!!! Why I bet if even Chelsea Clinton herself were one of those folks left in Libya, why it would in NO WAYS be possible for Hillary or her boss to send help. And what difference would it make!
Odd that he was so eager to “spike the football” (American “football”) when Obama Bin Laden was killed despite having previously stated many times that he would not do so, but in this matter no one will admit to remembering exactly where he was on the night in question nor are there apparently any records proving for the record where he was and what he was or was not doing.
I seem to remember him bragging to WH personnel that he was “good at killing” because he was the one watching the live drone feeds and ordering killstrikes many times as well.
Thanks for exposing your successful endeavor into insane stupidity...and attempting to rewrite history - very Stalinesque of you.
btw your dispicable sexual innuendo demonstrates a certain Freudian slip.
Now run back to your DU hellhole.
Basically they are ready at all times. Here is how an embassy rescue works as told by someone who used be on one of those teams.
Here is another post further explaining the process and a CBA.
They automatically "spin up" when a Critical Incident Report is issued and go as far as they can without crossing a foreign border until they get the CBA order from POTUS. They only stand down when someone tells their commander that they aren't going to get one. They can only know that if someone has tried to get the CBA and been rejected.
I remember the drone statements as well, from the 2011-2012 timeframe. There was talk that he would pick the target and then watch the target be killed in realtime.
Remember the Situation Room photo where everyone was watching the screen on the Binny raid?
Well apparently, the night of a 13 hour gun battle, only Tommy Vitter and a few low level staffers were in the SR.
Actually, the evidence discovered so far appears to show that Stevens was allowed to be murdered by the 0dung’ole and mrs bill for politically expedient reasons, not the least of which was getting BHO re-elected and not gumming up mrs bill clinton’s chances at being crowned Empress -I mean, Getting Elected President later on because of course it’s her turn now. She’s a woman, after all! (gag)
By law POTUS must be notified within 15 minutes of the CIR coming into the WH Situation Room. Also the VP and SecDef. The CIR hits the WH SR, State Dept., DoD, and every regional command center around the world.
Panetta was at the WH when the CIR came in. That's two people who had to be notified, by law, almost immediately together at the WH.
IIRC, Obola,Biden,Panetta and Dempsey met at the WH around 4 pm that afternoon. Obola had been at Walter Reed and notified around 3:30 pm, then brought to the WH.
There was a call to Netanyahu with Obola and Biden only after that, but it seemed to me that was a regular planned phone call.
After that there seems to be no further interaction with the CoC.
I donlt think there has been a definitive timeline of who did what, who was where, who called whom for that evening.
The next we know, Hillary and Valjar are conferring and hatching the video spin around 10-10:30pm, after confirming Stevens is dead.
I’m not familiar with CIR, or at least not by that acronym.
Wow. Is that a fact?
...”despicable sexual innuendo demonstrates a certain Freudian slip.”
“Stalinesque”, is that a newfreep term of enhanced verbal abuse?
There are absolutely no grounds for your accusations.
Care to go further?
