In the hours that followed, Hicks says, the Libyan military agreed to fly a C-130 from Tripoli to Benghazi in the early morning hours of September 12 – a flight that was to include a second team of Special Operations soldiers – dispatched from the Libyan capital to join a team sent earlier to Benghazi. But as those reinforcements were leaving for the flight, they were told to stand down. Hicks received the news in an early morning phone call from a top military commander in the region.
“So Lieutenant Colonel Gibson, who is the SOCAFRICA commander, his team, you know, they were on their way to the vehicles to go to the airport to get on the C‑130 when he got a phone call from SOCAFRICA which said, ‘you can't go now, you don't have authority to go now,’’ Hicks recalled. “And so they missed the flight.”

Yep!!!!!!
“Here’s to a long summer, much popcorn . . . .”
Knee high by the fourth of July?
I put nothing past them.
I think we are too far gone, but I pray to Jesus every day to rescue us from these slime sucking scum bags. And, you are right. If God knows when a sparrow falls, He is well aware of nations rising and falling, and it all in His hands.
And none dare call it treason.
Reduction of security in the time leading up the the attack, no significant support during the attack. Was Chris Stevens set up to die by his own government?
Audio: Admiral Lyons speculates possible “kidnap/exchange of Ambassador Stephens for Blind Sheik @*8:57
That would represent a high crime = treason. Is hanging still the preferred method by the government with traitors?
Perfect Phil!
On drive home from work today- listened to Hannity who had a caller on claiming to have been there during Benghazi. He operates a drone. He was told to go to the Embassy, given the coordinates. He was there about 5 min and he was told to leave and go over to the CIA Annex. He could see the employee’s on top of the roof at the embassy being attacked. He said, the drone was not “armed that day”. Normally it is, but that day, it wasn’t. How convenient? Anyways- he said he had hoped that all of this would come out, he himself was held to military document he signed where while in military he couldn’t talk about this. Now his portion of the story has been declassified. However, he said he doesn’t know what happened to the tapes of that day. Either the military has them or they destroyed them. He said, “why hasn’t investigative committee’s even asked about the drone tape? Good question. It’s right up there with “who ordered the Seals to stand down?” No one has asked that question either....
Yep agree- Obama will come out of this un-scathed. The other reason is guess who will be President if Obama gets impeached? Biden. I think that scares people more then Obama.
The media will protect Obama. For 8 years Bus was tarred and feathered, called a murderer, a Nazi, all kinds of vile names daily. But this man, Obama, has a media shield around him.
What could be more devastating than BO telling the SEALS to stand down while American citizens were being murdered in a terrorist attack? That should do him in in my humble opinion.
“Why else would they give the order to stand down and immediately remove a General and an Admiral???”
I have heard your analysis before and i makes complete sense. It’s either that or they were gun running, or more likely both. You just have to wonder how long our “senior military officers” (aka perfumed princes) are going to sit around with their asses in their hands and do nothing.
Here’s another: There was a “secret” unreported meeting at SCOTUS on January 14, 2009, ONE week before he stole the whitie hut, after he stolen the primary from Killary!
There were eight justices there and it’s very possible that the Chicago-GODFATHER-Thugs-Like took John Roberts aside “whispering softly in his ears...Remember you have small children,....So be very careful...And IF, if, etc.”!!
They were then publicly humiliated at a SOUA with standing ovation from all the DNC ass-clowns, enough for him to cave in on the obamaScare!!!
From that date on (1/14-09) and forward EVERYone and EVERYwhere from SCOTUS and down CONgress, States, Municipalities, LEO, MEDIA, including Rush Limbo and even military brass (Lt.Col. Terry Lakin) went MUTE and totally silence on the NBC issue. They then remembered what happened to Bill Gwatney the choir director and others there, the Passport lifter (shot) and Andrew Breitbart. Hello!!!!
See what happened to general Betraydus to keep him silent and out of the loop. A General and Admiral were immediately removed after the Benghazi attack, stinks!!!
Thank you Phil
