“~ Didn’t Ham say that his help was NOT requested?”
AFRICOM Leader General Carter Ham Was Never Ordered to Save US Men in Benghazi
Per Rep. Jason Chaffetz R-UT asking General Ham directly:
(close paraphrase)
Did we have assets in the area? The answer is “yes”.
Did we have proximity? The answer is “yes”.
Why we didn’t send in some of those assets? The general said he was not requested to do so.

NPR must have missed that interview!
I’m curious about Ham being in DC that very day...why was he there? Was he with the President when all was going down?
