“She’s gonna blow!” I just found this, it rings true.

Interesting Rumor Concerning General Carter Ham and Stand Down Order (Posted on 10/26/12 at 9:45 p.m.)

---

I heard a story today from someone inside the military that I trust entirely. The story was in reference to General Ham that Panetta referenced in the quote below.

quote:

---

“(The) basic principle is that you don’t deploy forces into harm’s way without knowing what’s going on; without having some real-time information about what’s taking place,” Panetta told Pentagon reporters. “And as a result of not having that kind of information, the commander who was on the ground in that area, Gen. Ham, Gen. Dempsey and I felt very strongly that we could not put forces at risk in that situation.”

---

The information I heard today was that General Ham as head of Africom received the same e-mails the White House received requesting help/support as the attack was taking place. General Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the Pentagon that he had a unit ready.

General Ham then received the order to stand down. His response was to screw it, he was going to help anyhow. Within 30 seconds to a minute after making the move to respond, his second in command apprehended General Ham and told him that he was now relieved of his command.

The story continues that now General Rodiguez would take General Ham’s place as the head of Africon.

I found this story when I got home after hearing this story.

quote:

---

President Barack Obama will nominate Army Gen. David Rodriguez to succeed Gen. Carter Ham as commander of U.S. Africa Command and Marine Lt. Gen. John Paxton to succeed Gen. Joseph Dunford as assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced Thursday.

General Rodigues Nominated as Head of Africon

As I was typing this I heard John Bolton on Greta say that there are conflicting reports of General Ham’s comments on this tragedy and why a rapid response unit was not deployed. Bolton says someone needs to find out what Ham was saying on 9/11/12.

Interesting to say the least.

Holy cow!

I always thought Ham's odd and untimely "reassignment" seemed very fishy. This could be the crack that opens the dam of information regarding this treasonous cover-up.

Thanks for posting this.

Wasn’t there some big hoppla in the news that the media went after George Bush for firing one of his generals that was in the news many years ago ?

This communist monster Obama ordered the military to stand down, so it Obama murdered those Americans. Obama has blood on its hands. The media instead covers this hurricane which won’t do anything(even drudge and some freepers fall for this hurricane and they don’t see the timing? wtf?).

The media keeps Romney quiet on this because the media so savagely attacked Romney the minute he said ANYTHING on it as “politicizing the deaths” . But i think Romney has to say something and we have to call our congress to tell them to run hearings now

[Sir Napsalot]

Totally believable. Thank you.

I just don't see ANY of our MILITARY people swallow the repeated ‘stand down’ orders and watch their people being cut down. Live feed, too.

The only curious/suspect thing is the timing. More than 40 days after Benghazi attack, Obama announced Gen. Ham being replaced now. Until the Jennifer Griffin's story broke.

Will keep this in mind.

Wow! If this is true we are worse off than I thought and I knew we were in real trouble. Seems the bad guys have a lot of bases covered. We really need Gen. Ham to speak out. Pray that God will guide his heart and he will do the right thing and that God will keep him safe. We need to know that we have some of the military on our side and that there are still patriots where we need them.
