Sounds like the opposite. The President is the Commander in Chief.
Why didn't he allow these folks to be rescued?
Oh no...this is the work of the Clinton's. CBS would never turn on obama on their own. Bill Clinton is behind this one...I'd bet my bottom dollar.
“Why didn’t he allow these folks to be rescued?”
You are exactly right and this is the real question. WHY?
Stevens was not supposed to be rescued. He was supposed to be kidnapped, so that Obama could secure his release and look the hero right before the election. When the former SEALS happened to be there to intervene, the whole thing unraveled.
I know it sounds conspiratorial, but so far it's the only scenario that makes any sense to me. BTW, when will Obama release the autopsy reports of our fallen compatriots? It's been over a month; what is there to hide there as well?
