I’ve been saying this for weeks. When GEN Ham joined hillary’s “what difference does it make” camp, I knew the fix was in for Bristol saying the same thing.
Both men clearly value their lives and careers above the truth on the Benghazi murders.
We are not, nor ever will be, allowed to know what really happened and why our brave American men were murdered.

No stand down order
but, No order to move either
No lies there
I resisted joining the politicians game when Vietnam was raging, and if I was young now I would do the same with this idiotic "WOT"
the US government is evil and rotten, Id rather stay home and mind my own than be one of the disposable bodies for the rotten disgusting politicians to do their evil deeds in some godforsaken hell hole
life is too short for that
but utmost respect to those who choose to play that game for their own noble reasons

From the beginning Glenn has said there is more to the Benghazi story than being presented in the media.
Glenn believed early on this was a CIA operation and that gun running to Syria was at the root of the attack.
CNN has a bombshell new report on how the CIA is covering up details about the attack.
On radio this morning, Glenn played CNN’s exclusive news on the dozens of CIA agents who were on the ground who are now being pressured to stay quiet:
CNN has learned the CIA is involved in what one source calls an unprecedented attempt to keep the spy agency’s Benghazi secrets from ever leaking out.
Since January some CIA operatives involved in the agency’s missions in Libya have been subjected to frequent, even monthly polygraph examinations, according to a source with deep inside knowledge of the agency’s working.
The goal of the questioning, according to sources, is to find out if anyone is talking to the media or congress.
It’s being described as pure intimidation with the threat that any unauthorized CIA employee who leaks information could face the end of his or her career.
In exclusive communications obtained by CNN, one insider writes, you don’t jeopardize yourself, you jeopardize your family as well.
Another says you have no idea the amount of pressure being brought to bear on anyone with knowledge of this operation.
“The administration is coming down on sources like you wouldn’t believe, like there’s just no tomorrow.
They are coming down on them hard,” Glenn said.
Glenn said he knew several sources and whistleblowers who have been intimidated into silence.
He also predicted that the administration would try and pressure CNN into shutting down this story.
“They are going to start putting pressure on them and pressure on their reporters
and they are going to start calling them in one by one and sayingyour network is going off in the wrong direction and you need to be aware of it and, just, I can’t really meet with you anymore.
I can’t give you any kind of information, I can’t give you any kind of access.
And they will start to turn the spigots off and so they will try to isolate CNN and freeze them out.
And I know this to be true because I have seen it firsthand,” Glenn said.
“Thank you, CNN, for actually doing your job and reporting the news.
No matter where the chips may fall, thank you for doing it,
and we will keep you and your reporters in our prayers because we know you’re facing danger now.”

You are correct .. without the signing of the CBA, there was nothing more to be done.
You only give a “stand down order” if you have previously given a “go order”.
Obviously, Obama did not sign the CBA; so there was NO GO order.

They had almost a year to get their stories straight.

Well if the COP told the LTC he could respond as he saw fit, and a VIP told the LTC to stand down, who’s the VIP???
We still have not barked up the right tree yet in this WHOLE investigation...Someone is not doing their JOB, and we’ll all end up doing KP...
All kidding aside, there is still no real definitive word from the GEN HAMM (AFRICOM) and ADM Gyotte (Carrier Battle Group Commander, in the area)...They were relieved of command that very day of the attack...
I’d love to hear what they have to say...But then again...If they re-appear, they may end up being Fort Marcy Park’d before we ever do...

I admittedly am ignorant about how the military works, but if there were assets in Libya, why would they have needed the CIC (so called) to give an order? The CIC alone would have had to give a CBA / Cross Border Authority order though if the assets were outside of Libya.
