Those in the CIA Annex requested permission to aid the consulate. Were told to stand down at least twice. Went anyway after being told to stand down the second time
American Crossroads PAC has already been running Benghazigate ads for 2 weeks. With this new info, I’m sure they will ramp it up with new ads.
“Haven’t posted for quite awhile but my curiosity was peaked so I decided to see if today might be a Muslim holiday. Turns out it is. A three day holiday Eid al- Adha begins today.”

Unreal.
When zero loses in November,just watch the ba$tard resign,Biden be sworn in,and then pardon the whole bloody lot.........
I think that those ex SEALS knew that there was a possibility they would be on their own and that their moral obligation to their fellow Americans was greater than the orders to stand down. They were highly paid contractors for some unnamed agency. I would be interested to read their contracts.
I have no idea what the operation was though from the beginning, the retrieval of the MANPADs has been mentioned. I would like to know what US policy is in that region at the moment. Who have we aided? Why did we interfere in Libya at all? I could go on and on.
I think the ex SEALs and their fellow order disobeyers acted heroically in their efforts to save those at the consulate and in their defense of the safe house. This was a fubar of great magnitude. There are many unanswered questions about the lack of security for the ambassador and the others working at that complex. Was the safe house location already exposed to the terrorists? Or did it become exposed when the evacuees from the consulate were driven at 20mph through the streets of Benghazi at 11pm?
It is astounding that there were folks in charge who watched this go down and that they did not think through the consequences of leaving these folks to defend themselves. We need new leadership. That is clear as a bell.
He’ll get asked about it. He better have a response.
Just watch the LSM!
They are dumping a lot of this on Friday so it will be gone by the end of the weekend. Expect more revelations tonight.
He won't resign, he'll use the remaining time to funnel money and weapons to his Muslim terrorist pals and to further undermine our economy and security in every way he can think of.
That tragic day was on June 28th, 2005.
Murph only got the MOH citation because they reviewed the video footage of it. You *are* correct ~!
Marcus Luttrell was the lone survivor ( wrote a book with the same title ).
I just finished reading his other book :Service.
It’s a great book and goes into more detail about that day and his rescue than it did in Lone Survivor.
Now I’m reading Chris Kyle’s book.
I said a week or so ago that it seemed like Nobama wanted this to happen—now it appears to be true. Still don’t know why, unless Stevens was not supposed to get killed. Maybe the truth about how weapons are moving was a bigger issue to Nobama than the death of our Americans. (Protecting Iran?)
Romney needs whomever is in the know to come forward—in confidence and with protection from future prosecution. Wonder if Romney has high security clearance or if that will only happen after he is elected.
“Do we know how soon those SEALs showed up, and where Stevens was when they showed up? Was Stevens supposed to be moved out of the safe room to someplace where he wouldn’t die of smoke inhalation, but the plans got messed up when the terrorists had to deal with 2 rogue SEALs who gave them trouble?”
A very, very interesting question.
We also have to ask ourselves, who leaked this interesting morsel and why? Surely it wasn’t PIAPS. Doesn’t help her. Surely it wasn’t Mr. Not Optimal. Doesn’t help him at all.
Cui bono?
“Stevens knew too much.”
It’s the Chicago way.
“What or who is the source for this information?”
We’ll never know for sure. But see post 17.
“Since those two SEALs were civilians, who did they request permission from, and who told them to stand down?”
Since they were civilians, the UCMJ doesn’t matter. The penalty for disobeying an order: they get fired, not court martialed.
“The real enemy is and always has been Communism,”
You are correct sir!
There was a decision some time ago to use the muzzies for distraction and disruption. Can’t find the article now.
