According to rdax:
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.

It appears the US Navy has borrowed the concept of a "political Officer" from the old Soviet Union.

Don't be surprised it Obama emulates his hero and purges 1/3 of the military high command.

God help this great nation. Tell everyone above 18 that is breathing to get in to vote for R/R. We must save our country.

If what you say is true, this man is a hero.

The Zampolits have been there for some time. Obama’s just accelerating the process.

Been thinking about this. I hope he does (as long as he doesn't put bullets in the back of their necks as his hero did). He'll have created an instant military high command for . . . who knows? Someone out there might need them.
