I’d sure like to know more about this. If true it would blow this thing wide open.

Ham would be in front of the Senate in days. Obama would be relegated to the ash can of history.

The Senate? You must be joking! You do realize that the Senate is run by Democrats, right? Not exactly a patriotic bunch!

Wow! Disobeying an order from the C in Chief is never a good idea. But who exactly gave the stand down order? Obama himself?

I know that officers can refuse to follow illegal orders, but this guy was trying to help, it sounds like.

Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer: My sources tell me Obama was in the room watching Benghazi attack.

Apparently, they also disobeyed orders and ordered support against the big 0’s orders to stand down.

DoughtyOne~ : “ Ham would be in front of the Senate in days. Obama would be relegated to the ash can of history.”

OBummer would like to smoke ham , with eggs and hash browns on the side; except moochelle won’t let him eat non-Halal foods. After all , it isn’t kosher !
One thing a Perp-In-Chief can’t stand is one of his best units going ‘broken arrow’ , and non-responsive to the chain of command. It looks bad ; and it gives the impression that the leader really isn’t leading !.

Hopefully, there is little more than 10 days to this administration , as the foxes are guarding the hen house and are within the walls !

As in the Clinton years, General Ham has already heard from some faceless nobody about all the unexpected things that can happen to his pension if he says the wrong things. And all the speaking gigs, and consulting work that he'll miss out on.

A lot of officers resigned during Clinton's years, only to find out that their dearly-bought freedom of speech only got them the stone wall of silence in the world of politics.

I keep warning people that they have to check Gateway Pundit’s facts before running with what he posts. He gets overzealous sometimes.

WASHINGTON, Oct 10 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Wednesday nominated General Joseph Dunford, the No. 2 Marine officer, to lead the war effort in Afghanistan and oversee plans to withdraw most of America’s combat forces from the country by the end of 2014.

Dunford, if confirmed by the U.S. Senate, would replace General John Allen, who took over command of the Afghan mission in July 2011 and was nominated by the president on Wednesday to become supreme allied commander in Europe.

Dunford, who served in Iraq, has been assistant commandant of the Marine Corps since October 2010, had been widely expected to take charge of U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan as Allen rotated out of the post.
