Did Valerie Jarrett Issue the Order to Stand Down in Benghazi?

August 06, 2013

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: There is a somewhat shocking report that I came across today at a website run by Doug Ross. It's called the Conservative Report. Doug Ross maintains here that Valerie Jarrett gave the orders to stand down in Benghazi. Valerie Jarrett, who constitutionally is not in the chain of command and cannot do that. And that's why this, if true, is a bombshell. Valerie Jarrett nixed the raid on bin Laden three separate times, remember, and the adults had to come in and basically act on the intel that they had as to where bin Laden was. It was Valerie Jarrett who put off three separate times an attack to either capture or kill bin Laden.

It was Panetta and Hillary and some others, apparently, who just finally overruled her and started the operation. They pulled Obama off the golf course for the photo op-ed, after the event had already begun. But Doug Ross is saying here: "Confidential sources close to Conservative Report have confirmed that Valerie Jarrett was the key decision-maker for the administration, the night of the Benghazi terrorist attack on 9/11/2012. The chronology of the evening of 9/11 are as follows:

"At approximately 5 PM Washington time, reports came in through secure-channels that Special Mission Benghazi was under attack. Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey summoned the President, and briefed him on the crisis, face to face." And remember, this is the meeting where Obama is reported to have said to both -- well, actually all three, Panetta, Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and Hillary. "You guys do what you have to do," and he vanishes. This is the best intel that we've got. And the story for the longest time, "Where was Obama?" Because he was off the grid for the next seven hours. Nobody knew where he was. And, remember, throughout all of this, we're all asking, "Who issued the order to stand down?" Because that can only come from the top.

I don't know how many times that I made the statement on this program, "The secretary of defense cannot order people to stand down. The secretary of defense cannot order, on the other hand, forces from, say, Italy to enter the theater and engage. That has to come via the chain of command. That has to come from the top, and the top in this case is Obama, not an aide." So if this is true, this really, really is a bombshell.

The US Congress simply does not care.

If it is not about BROTHELS, WHORES, BEING DRUNK,
“RAPING” the AMERICAN TAXPAYER, Funding al QAEDA,
or helping criminals, the US Congress is TOO busy
cashing their payoffs and bribes.

Folks looks like the truth will be revealed drip by drip. Good for Rush for mentioning this. One can not buried the truth for so long.

Jarret is Obama's Lady McBeth. That Obama just wandered off during this crisis and set a domestic policy adviser to the situation room as his surrogate shows incompetence and dereliction of his duty as POTUS.

Three Facts

Fact One:

1) Only the POTUS can authorize a CBA (cross border authority) command for a rescue mission in a foreign nation.

Plus Fact Two:

2) No rescue mission was attempted.

Equals Fact Three:

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.

I think BO has to tell us where he was first. And only the pres is authorized to order a ‘stand down’ order and it was issued.

The POTUS is briefed in the late afternoon that a consulate is under attack on 9/11. He then disappears in the early evening after a phone conference with Bibi, and doesn’t resurface until he’s on AF1 on the way to his Vegas fundraiser.

The WH has declined, repeatedly, to describe his whereabouts.

Kind of makes you go “hmmmmmmmmm.”

Sounds to me like Barry had an appointment in Boystown, and he wasn’t going to miss it for anything as trivial as a murdered Ambassador.

It’s tricky.

The president has to affirmatively allow military action in other countries.

Was there a scheme so Obama could give the military “cross border authority” yet prevent it from acting through other means?
