Ok, never mind my post # 25.
I used the keyword : standdown written just like that. First delete the asterisk, then type in standdown in the search thingy.
You get a bunch of threads, with excellent sourcing and verifiable quotes.
Your friends are insisting the stand down order did not happen. They’re wrong. Present them with direct links to the posted articles.
Addendum: there are other reports of Panetta et al denying there was a stand down order. But the subordinates are contradicting him.
So it’s important to remember Panetts was under the thumb of Hillary and Obama; he says what he’s told, to cover his own butt.
But the boots who were there say he’s lying, the CIA was involved, and a stand down order did happen.
That’s what you need to tell your friends.
Read the conflicting reports.
