So in reality, the film of this non-action is so covered with guilty fingerprints it’s practically opaque. Forget about the Marines spooling away on Sig, the mere fact that there wasn’t an F/A-18 on station within an hour after the SHTF call is evidence of omission, proving a military solution wasn’t on the table from the get-go. Otherwise, what the hell? I can’t imagine anyone debating for more than a half a second whether or not to save American lives when you have the nation’s resources and might behind you.
Flashback to President Reagan and the invasion of Grenada to “rescue med students”: end of problem of Cuban/Soviet settlement there. Media briefly complained. End of story for many years.
Yes, yes, yes. And personally, I think that the White House and State didn’t even bother to order or approve the pathetic little ad-hoc “rescue team” from Tripoli, but that was sent only by the local U.S. honcho in Tripoli, probably the CIA Station Chief, or acting Station Chief, if Stevens was wearing both hats. Very unusual if true, but I don’t know their protocals.
Yes indeed! Grenada, botched in some ways as it was, was a clear signal to our enemies. D
ON’T MESS AROUND IN OUR BACK YARD OR WE WILL STOMP YOU INTO THE GROUND!
OTOH, Obama went on the “blame free speech apology tour,” ending at the U.N. with his infamous,
“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
Al Qaeda must be debating whether Obama is just a “useful idiot,” or an extremely clever jihadist mole.
bttt
Outstanding Article & effort TMG!

Bret Baier’s show has just had an illustrated timeline of all the actions on Sept 11 & 12 in and out of Benghazi. There was a brief delay of the first response, waiting for permission, iirc.
“It is hard to believe that 48% of my fellow Americans will vote for this slug of a leader.” ... Um, YOUR fellow Americans are not among the 48%, and that’s by design, because the DNC set out decades ago to divide America so that they could work on consolidating a dependency class which would be guaranteed to vote for their handouts. America is now divided and perhaps shall never be reunited. The true enemies of the Republic infect the once great democrat party. A political party that uses the slaughter of millions of alive unborn Americans as an empowerment scheme is evil to its core. Those are not YOUR fellow Americans, they are a different set of Americans.

Sent to my mailing list! Thanks for your great service to your cuontry, in the past and especially now!
Ghadaffi said in a public speech in 2008 that the Muslim world contributed to Obama’s campaign in the hopes that he would not forget his Muslim faith. And a year and a half later, in January of 2010, Obama privately told the Egyptian ambassador that he was and still is a Muslim who supports the Muslim agenda, and that the Muslim world needed to be patient with him because he had to get Obamacare crammed down our throats first before turning to the Muslim agenda. And sure enough, once Obamacare was crammed down our throats, the seeds for Arab Spring were sown and came to fruition.
The agenda all sects of Islam agree on is the destruction of the US and Israel and the institution of worldwide sharia, and everything Obama has done while in office has served to further those 2 goals.
In addition, George Soros (who has said that he bought and paid for the democratic party; it is his) asked both Hillary and Obama during the 2008 primary (according to democrat sources speaking to Bettina Viviano) whether they were on board with his plans to destroy the US economy; Hillary wasn’t but Obama was. Soros has said that he hopes the US doesn’t win the war on terror because then the US and capitalism would be strong, and he views himself as God and believes that he needs to rid the world of those 2 evils - America and capitalism. So Soros is aligned with the communists and the Islamists. Just like Obama has been all his life. Soros is the union of the two towers - the 2 great enemies of the US and freedom: communism and Islamism. And Obama, his puppet, is also the union of those 2 anti-American powers.
And sometime before the Sept 2008 run on the bank US intelligence personnel in Egypt(?) were told by their sources that an economic terrorist act was going to be perpetrated by world Muslims.
About a week after the Sept 2008 run on the bank Bush suddenly decided to give a speech to the American public saying that if we didn’t pass TARP the world as we know it would end. Communists like Castro and Chavez were saying, “Since capitalism has failed, the world should try communism”. And Islamists like Zawahiri and Ahmadinejad were saying, “Since capitalism has failed, the world should try Islamic finance” (and indeed, the week after the crash BErnanke and Paulson were leading seminars on Islamic finance). The IMF was meeting to decide what to do, now that “capitalism had failed”. It was a mantra from all the players on the team, with President Bush telling the US we were in serious doo-doo and capitalism could come to an end if we didn’t pass TARP, a drop in the bucket compared to the toxic assets at issue.
The Muslim world has been saying all along that Obama is a Muslim, and if he was not lying about being Christian in order to gain power (to further the goals of Islam through taqiyya), they would be saying he needed to be executed as an apostate. I think they know he is on their side - and not just because he told us so directly in his book, but because he is bought and paid for and is a card-carrying puppet of the communist-Islamist alliance.
So I think the Muslim world knows what Obama is.
Geraldo was on O’Reilly tonight and I guess O’Reilly was upset with some of the things Geraldo had said this morning with Eric.
But .. I can’t stand Geraldo so I turned it off .. but it replays again - so you can try to catch it if you want.
Hi Travis,
I was so stunned by this article that I just sat down and cried my eyes out for a couple of hours.
I have a lot of family who were formerly military of some sort (an AF ace and a Naval Commander), so the military is very special to me.
I couldn’t help but wonder how the 100 Marines felt when they were not allowed to do the mission .. and I also wondered it they were concerned if Obama would treat them the same and abandon them in their time of need too ..??
No one should waste ONE vote on such a cowardly president.
If there were 100 Marines, or even 25 AF Security Police waiting for the Go order. We’ll know about sooner or later, probably sooner. Then we’ll know how they felt.
It won’t be pretty.
I know. The folks “down range” feel totally betrayed. They know the truth, and won’t fall for all of the CIA smokescreen. The “rescue team” from Tripoli was an afterthought, ginned up IN TRIPOLI by the on-scene American leaders, who had to even charter a damn airplane to get six shooters on! Washington had NOTHING to do with sending the Tripoli “rescue team” (sic).
The real question is why Obama would not send the very robust USMC rescue force that was waiting for the launch order in Sigonella.
That’s what they are evading.
ROTFLOL Can't put it any better than that!
Permit a poor civie like me to give you a big 'Hoo ah,!' Matt.
This is good. This is significant. This is going to make a big difference in the narrative going forward and give courage to the thousands upon thousands of former and current mil personnel who know exactly what you're saying to open up and back you up.
Three words: National Command Authority
“The White House never ordered a stand-down.”
The ICG would have done so.
Where was Thomas Pickering on the night of Sept 11th, 2012, was he responsible for the STAND DOWN ORDER?
“The White House never ordered a stand-down.”
It’s no wonder Pickering is in charge of the investigation.
He is investigating his own role and he will be found not culpable. (by himself)

National Command Authority is right.
We don’t hear about NCA or CBA in the MSM. They are helping the White House with the obfuscation effort.
