Retired Lt. Col discussing standard operating procedures on how this would have worked its way up the chain...
Rush military caller says beyond shadow of doubt Obama knew about Benghazi attack and ordered no response
quote: This is an amazing phone call from a retired Lt. Col. and Special Operations Planner for 15 years who knows the inside baseball of what goes on in the White House. He told Rush that protocol dictates that as soon as the situation room got the email about the Benghazi attack, someone marched up to the president and informed him of the attack. He says it’s a bald faced lie if they say otherwise.
He also says that it was the president who gave the order at his 5pm meeting that day to not respond to the Libya attack in progress.

Bless you, sir, both for your service, and for your call.
This whole situation has angered me more than I thought I could be angered. I’ll be proud to vote this POS and his minions out of office in the next week and a half.
You understood correctly. Either POTUS -- or somebody speaking for him (Jarrett? Axelrod?) -- said "No go."
In any event, the responsibility lies totally within the White House.
Imagine yourself one of the Delta force guys sitting in a chopper on the tarmac in Sicily. You've been briefed, you know the target, you know what to do and how you're going to do it...and the order never comes.
When the lives of his diplomats were on the line, the Commander-in-Chief failed. EPIC FAIL is insufficient...
“Remember the Civil War? The north got its ass kicked until Lincoln had the “stones” to keep Grant in command. A drunk, but a drunk who won battles and eventually a war. For my money Ronnie was the last President with real “stones.”
It wasn’t that Grant won battle it was that he didn’t stop pursuing the South’s army after victory or even a defeat. It was just constantly rolling campaign that continue all the way till the end of Appomattox. General Meade won Gettysburg but was fired for not pursuing General Lee. General McClellan was fired for not pursuing Lee. In short Grant wasn’t afraid to fight even if it meant losing a tactical battle. He knew it would contribute to his overall strategy of weakening the enemy.
no argument here
Keep telling yourself that...
Thank you!
Meade was never fired. He stayed the commander of the Army of the Potomac until the end of the war. Grant specifically kept him on after being made Commander of the entire Union forces.
OUTSTANDING!
Driving back from work this morning and heard you on Rush. Pulled my truck over to the curb, just to listen.
Stay safe, stay well.
Thank you sir for making that call today. I hope it makes a difference!
“Meade was never fired. He stayed the commander of the Army of the Potomac until the end of the war. Grant specifically kept him on after being made Commander of the entire Union forces.”
Yes your right. Appologize for the mistake. I think I meant to say that President Lincoln was less than delighted by the lack of pursuit.
I heard you today and was so thankful Rush let you speak. Your information was telling of the situation. As a mom and someone who has family that have served this country, I Thank you from the bottom of my heart. What you did today was what we all needed to hear to get clarification from someone in the know. You are an honorable soldier.
Hey, cut Obama some slack he was busy on the phone giving parenting advice to Beyonce and Jay-Z. Then he had to cram for his interview with Nickelodeon.
Besides, as Judge Lind informed us at Lt. Col. Lakin’s court martial, the chain of command ends at the Pentagon.
Amen to that.
That stinking SOB McCain is running around today spreading the lie that the military wasn’t on alert so wasn’t available to respond.
Remember McCain also ran cover for the Muslim Brotherhood when Bachmann threatened to investigate inside influence and assistance to the enemy - AlQueda?
Now it’s bipartisan treason CYA. Expose ‘em all. Enough of the gun running to America’s enemies at a time of war, even! I don’t care what their twisted excuse is and I don’t care which party or branch of government they hide out in.
While we are at it, prosecute the treasonous turds who have placed Taliban on the Afghanistan bases and murdered our soldiers there, too. Over and over again! Betraying and murdering Americans is our government’s policy it seems. America can not survive such betrayal and treason.
Find and remove and prosecute every treasonous Congressdog, government worker and administration official who officially classified our Vets and the Tea Party domestic terrorists, too. Those who demanded Shaira controls on speech in America to appease the enemy - out!
I have been listening to that caller several times now. Your understanding is my understanding. I am beyond livid.
no one among them is brave enough?
Or is it that no one among them is American enough? Has the rot thoroughly penetrated our government?
Thank you, Sir, for your service to our country. It is obvious that you are still protecting our country. You are a hero for making this public.
