All three facts are true , in part :
# 1) Only the POTUS can authorize a CBAc ~ True !
# 2) No rescue mission was attempted (wrong :thru channels thats true !- however at least two military officers were relieved of command within 30 seconds of disobeying the order to ‘stand down ‘ as they proceeded to assemble a rescue squad).
# 3) 0bama turned his back on 41 State Dept. and CIA employees refusing to issue a CBA command and went to bed so he could go to Las Vegas the next day .~ true !
The main missing link is : WHO ORDERED, or gave the command to : “STAND DOWN “
That is where the culpability and responsibility for all those people lays , as well as all the deaths .
Personally ,.. I believe it was a “set-up” by the State Dept. to release the ‘Blind Shiek’ ,and fund weapons purchases to be used by the Moose-liams in Syria , Mali , Algeria ,and all Africa , and elsewhere .
First, they weren't military officers they were former SEALs who were working as private contractors for the CIA at the time. One in Benghazi and one in Tripoli. The one in Tripoli was never told to "stand down" by anyone. That was Glen Doherty and he was not on scene in Benghazi until after Tyrone Woods' team had returned from the main consulate to the 'annex.'
Secondly, although it was reported that someone, unidentified, told Tyrone Woods not to go to the main consulate property twice that is irrelevant to my 'fact #2.' Both Woods and Doherty were already in-country and would not have needed a CBA from the President to act.
