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.

is greater than his to the US Constitution
but there was still probably a quid pro quo.

Since he is the only one who could authorize a cross border attack, this only make sense.
Depending on a guy to make a decision who has a consistant record of voting “present?”........Priceless.
THIS is the gold in hillary's mine.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
Only the CIC can authorize an international military action. The CIC was AWOL so when the forces already mobilized automatically had to be told to stand down because the CIC WAS WITH REGGIE!
The price was too damn high.
And if I may add, the fellow who had painted the target would have only done so if he knew there was someone ready to fire on it.
Is that when the stand down was issued?
The Clinton vs Obama thing WILL required lots of popcorn.
” Since he is the only one who could authorize a cross border attack, this only make sense.”
Of course. No CBA(cross border authority).
It couldn’t have been Obama...He was in the shower...had to shave and dress and run for the plane to Vegas.
The title Commander in Chief applies to the military not the citizens.
Look it up.
Don’t count on it. hussein will claim he was asleep, out on the back nine, wasn’t consulted, at the men’s club, having a toke in the WH garden or was conferring with Reggie in the Lincoln Bedroom. Everything bounces off Lord Rubber.
Thanks, I thought it was attack.
