General Ham says he was never asked to intervene.
He answers directly to Panetta and Obama.

NOT good enough, but Newt Gingrich got their attention!
LOL.
So, who did? The SECDEF, Joint Chief, nor POTUS is accepting the responsibility of the “stand down” order.
If it wasn’t one of these people, the person that did needs to be brought out and fired immediately.
It doesn’t count unless Obama, Clinton, and Panetta testify under oath that there were no requests for help.
Well they have been forthcoming and truthful through out this entire event, so if they say they didnt deny anything ,.... well that should be good enough for us./s
So a mission to save those Americans was not stopped by Obama’s White House, Obama’s State Department, Obama’s CIA, or Obama’s military. Just how did George W. Bush make that call?
Well, Mr. White House, if you didn’t deny any requests for assistance, then WHY THE F*CK DIDN”T THEY GET ANY ASSISTANCE AFTER 7 HOURS OF BATTLE!?
All they got was murdered. Maybe that’s the request Mr. White House granted, their request to be murdered.
This makes no sense.
I believe that this statement is carefully parsed.
It doesn’t exclude Panetta. Who enacts Obama’s orders.
Here is the basic fact - the standing orders were to save American lives. If a rescue mission didn’t take place, then SOMEONE gave the order to stand down. Which can only come from Panettta or Obama.
Attaway Tommy! The list of people going to prison adds another name!
“Neither the President nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi during the attack”
Yeah, but I bet you did not approve anything either. Basically you did nothing and people died.
“We leave no one behind.” - Barack Hussein Obama (Does not apply to Americans being murdered by his Muslim terrorist buddies.)
It will depend on the meaning of the word “deny.”
If he put up a “do not disturb” sign after hearing about the attack, he could use the word “ignore.” Is “ignore” different than “deny?” Of course it is, until after the election. /S
Who the hell did, then? Hillary? George Bush?
A National Security Council spokesperson, eh?
No, that will NOT do. On the stand, right hand up, left hand on Bible, as is customary, and being broadcast, live. Nothing less.
They are playing the “depends on what the meaning or is, is” ploy.
That Bing Dude on Greta said the WhiteyHut had to issue an “Action Order” to initiate, not per se OK or deny request. Very simple, Show the Action Order, will be end of story and Panetta gets the bus underside ride.
Neither the President nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi during the attack, National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told The Hill via email.
Do you notice the missing word? Here is what they want you to infer from the quote:
Neither the President nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for MILITARY assistance in Benghazi during the attack, National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told The Hill via email.
The fact is that "Security Personnel" were ordered from Tripoli to Benghazi. That's true. But there were no Military personnel sent. That restriction had to the result of the President's direct order. I have yet to hear anyone from the Administration but Leon Panetta talk about MILITARY ASSISTANCE with his lame excuse. Spokesman for the President and the President himself have not, to the best of my knowledge ever mentioned anything but the generic "assistance" which was, in fact, sent.
Just more Word Games from our Transparent President.
“...by email”
How about a press conference where we can see your face when you say it?
