A source with intimate information about the events that happened on the ground in Benghazi the night the U.S. Consulate and the CIA annex was attacked by terrorists told Breitbart News that, ultimately, only the President of the United States, or someone acting on his authority, could have prevented Special Forces either on the ground or nearby from helping those Americans who were under deadly assault.
According to the source, when the attack on the Consulate occurred, a specific chain of command to gain verbal permission to move special-forces in must have occurred. SOCAFRICA commander Lieutenant Col. Gibson would have contacted a desk officer at the time, asking for that permission.
That desk officer would have called Marine Corps Col. George Bristol, then in command of Joint Special Operations Task Force-Trans Sahara. From there, Bristol would have made contact with Rear Admiral Brian Losey, then Commander of Special Operations Command Africa. Losey would have contacted four-star General Carter Ham, commander of U.S. AFRICOM at the time.

After his “pick-up” game with Reggie...”
And, did he make plenty of copies, deposit them in multiple locations for safekeeping, and make sure his life insurance premiums are current?
Just like Klinton.
His replacement was announced within a month of Benghazi...
It's in federal district court.
Holder's refusal to honor the House subpoena and the President's curious claim of Executive Privilege have been challenged in court.
The court will decide in favor of the House -- there is no precedent for them doing otherwise.
Then, we'll find out what the administration's next stalling technique is...
Link here...looks like it starts at 10:30 Central time:
“Seems Gen Ham was purportedly initially arrested for refusing to stand down. Also another Gen in Italy was sendin assistance and was stopped and subsequently transferred...McDill?”
...and where the hell is Gen. Ham and that other General? If they were patriotic enough to defy the stand down orders, and that caused them to be relieved of command because of it, you would think they would stand up for themselves and tell their story. Are they more worried about their pensions, than to gain retribution for the lives of their fellow citizens who were left to die in Benghazi? Are there no patriots left in this Country? Generals, you have an opportunity to change history! Please step up and do the right thing for the good of our Country! This may be the last chance we have to reel in this tyrant in the White House before he finishes the USA off for good!!
Bump!!
Every day I pray that these villains are exposed for all the world to see. All of it, including and especially dude's identity fraud, which if had been made known before the election in 2008 could have headed off a whole host of horrors.
It must be bad: PBS led with the sexual assault ‘problem’ in the military. They can’t even talk about Benghazi.
Meanwhile they are having a Watergate retrospective and have invited viewers to send in their memories of that time! Back in the day when investigative reporting meant destroying the right kind of politician.
Psalm 109:8 seems the only thing one can pray over this abomination.
Great passage of scripture! Actually a good portion of this chapter seems to be a solid indictment against 0bama, and the curse against our land as a result of America voting to put this islamic, anti-American socialist into the presidential office.
Anybody know a reliable source for the statements floating around that there was a Special Ops Team in Tripoli and a C-130 in Tripoli?
Hope people aren’t pushing unsubstantiated rumors that will get shot down.
I gotta give it to ya, gurl fren! NoBODY can make an animated gif as well as YOU!!!
And I believe that General Ham should have acted on principle & in defense of the United States and should have defied the order to stand down, and then proceed to launch the military response or air cover.
Leftism is insidious, it’s affected the command structure of the military to the point where “leave no man behind” has now become “the hell with the men, cover my behind.”
Bless you Yorkie, that’s one of my alltime favorite compliments!! I do work hard on them and appreciate your kind words. (HUGS)
Are they more worried about their pensions, than to gain retribution for the lives of their fellow citizens who were left to die in Benghazi? Are there no patriots left in this Country?
1. Yes
2. No, sadly there are not.
Pensions, prestige, getting into all the right cocktail parties, as well as getting all the right positions AFTER retirement also ...don’t forget about THAT.
Right about that! He snapped his fingers and a team got engaged on Benghazi, Day 2.
A well-oiled machine---crime perfected to an art.
Is there any hope of getting to Obama without hanging Hillary?
Thanx
