Obama REFUSED to defend...(and probably more than once).
The only decisions coming out of the WH were political decisions of expedience. They have been fudging timelines. When we put the final timeline together, I think we will see that there were many decisions made that night---all political, based on the events they were seeing each critical step of the way.
Does anyone want to think of what would have happened to the people Woods rescued had he not disobeyed orders?
Politicking is hell. You folks just don't understand how hard our job is. We expect there will be bumps in the road.

Re: CBA
Last night on Judge Jeanine, Col David Hunt & Gary Bernsen, former CIA officer
At min 52, they are at a map describing what they are certain could have been done and in what amount of time.
Judge: And let's talk about, you know, you kinda hear this argument coming out that we have to get permission from the Libyans to go in their air space.
Hunt: No, there is no air space in Libya. There's no air force in Libya. Air Force or Navy ... would not care. If they are told to go, they are going to go.
Judge to Bernsen: Do you agree?
Bernsen: Agree, agree. There's no air force. They have no spare parts. They can't fix anything. There is nothing flying, really, no military aircraft flying in Libya right now.

I can't find any video yet except this video of guest KT McFarland, who said she was a personal friend of Petraeus.
She said 18 months ago Petraeus would have had an investigation and a polygraph (for CIA Director) from the FBI. The FBI and WH (because file would go to WH Personnel office) knew then about the affair.
She said in spring of 2011 when she was in Afghanistan there were "definitely rumors (about the affair) from a number of people."
She also said that when senior official testifies before Congress, they submit their testimony to the WH. If they didn't like what Petraeus was going to say....
She is certain that Petraeus would NOT lie under oath.

The entire program is worth seeing. There was also another guest, Chris Mark Heben, former Nacy Seal and CIA officer. He went to Seal school with Doherty and had contact with Woods and Doherty on many occasions. All 3 were medics, so they did a lot of cross-training together. "I have a long history with these guys." Heben has also been in Libya.
He said Woods disregarded the order to stand down, and that he thinks this will come out.
"The fact that these guys were hung out to dry, basically exposed like a set of dog balls, pisses me off."
He flat out said he doesn't believe a word that comes out of Clinton's mouth.
The judge should have kept him on longer and asked him more questions.
They are edging closer to openly discussing CBA, (no matter how it’s acronymed in 2012).
The strong inference in context above about Libyan air space is that we only used that as an after-the-fact absurd excuse for not entering Libyan territory for an urgent military rescue.
It’s the same reason the FBI didn’t get to Benghazi for 24 days. Hillary didn’t want them there at all, and if they had to go, when the scene had been burned, looted, robbed, pillaged, and picked over, and probably pissed upon.
It disgusts me that these traitors are our “leaders.” And worse is yet to come, far, far worse. Extrapolate Benghazi bungling to Iran/Israel going to war. Imagine what “terrible tragedies” will befall U.S. forces while Obama secretly is playing for the other side.
What a story to behold.
I saw the Judge Jeanine show & the interviews you were talking about (KT & the Seal/CIA guy). JJ is REALLY on this Benghazi thing .... she’s been outraged from the start. I think she’s been better than any of the other shows (B’ORe, Hannity, even Greta).
One thing I have noticed .... more and more people are just flat out angry and saying what they think .... the ‘exposed like dog balls’ is one and I saw Jason Chaffetz get very angry in an interview and say a few things that were not the usual measured ‘Congress-speak’. He’s furious ... said he’d talked to Issa about Petraeus testifying & they were going to let the next day or so play out, then talk about it Monday or Tuesday, but Chaffetz thinks Petraeus should testify this week.
Note my tagline. Former Navy SEAL/CIA officer Heben taught me a new phrase. I obviously don't hang out with the right crowd. ; )
