To: Protect the Bill of Rights

Jennifer Griffin just reported that every request for permission/authorization to aid those in the consulate was denied. These requests were not just made by those in the annex, but several units that had mobilized waiting for the go.

All requests to offer support was met with “STAND DOWN”
God Almighty.

So the military WAS activated, and were told they could not do what they are trained to do in this kind of situation.

And since the SEALs were right there and told not to do anything, at the very least their denial of permission wasn’t an issue of crossing into Libyan territory. Somebody was not allowing ANYBODY to try to help.

She also reported that most likely a Delta Force team was waiting for the go order and that the former SEALs did have a functioning laser pointer focused on the Al Qeada mortar team. According to Griffin's source an AC-130, which is SOP, would have been able to lock on the laser and take out Al Qeada.

It is negligent that the higher ups ordered a Stand Down and did not provide backup. It should be noted that Doherty and Woods went against CIA orders and left the CIA Annex, went to the Consulate, rescued those whom they could find, made it back to the CIA Annex and continued fighting for another 3-4 hours before they were taken out by Al Qaeda.

What is really frightening and not in the MSM reports Doherty and Woods were part of a CIA team whose mission “was to find the more than 20,000 missing MANPADS, or shoulder-held missiles capable of bringing down a commercial aircraft.” Well done Obama! It's the usual Obama FUBAR.

Panetta said they couldn’t do anything because they didn’t know what was going on, so I ask, was 7hours not enuf time to find out? Did he himself or someone else ever bother to ask what the situation was? They had 7 hours! Panetta is full of BO!
