Am I the only one who is disgusted by how the Benghazi failure to come to the aid of fine men who fought for their lives for 7+ hrs is being ignored. Maybe I missed it, but do we know who refused to send help to Woods & Doherty?
We do know. We know it was the situation room of the White House, because we now have an email in which a terrorist attack is acknowledged.
Despite the president’s protestations that he gave quick instructions to provide relief to Doherty/Woods/Ambassador, we also know that Obama personally, by his own words last week, sent Rice out to spread the video trailer nonsense.
Timeline:
1. Obama knows in real time to give orders to rescue our people.
2. Obama knows terrorist attack is taking place real time
3a. Obama knows his orders not carried out
3b. Obama sends Rice out to complain about a movie trailer
4. Obama himself complains at UN about a movie trailer
Putting those together, we realize that the Leader did not practice the simple rule of following up and tracking his own orders.
Therefore, Obama is responsible for the deaths of Doherty & Woods
Within 17 minutes of the start of the attack, AFRICOM commander Gen. Carter Ham, who happens to be visiting Washington and was in the Pentagon that day, redirects an unarmed, unmanned drone to Benghazi.
PANETTA AND DEMPSEY ARE ALERTED 50 MINUTES AFTER ATTACK
At 10:32 p.m. (4:32 p.m. in Washington), 50 minutes after the incident began, the National Military Command Center, which is the operations center at the Pentagon where Ham is overseeing the operation, notifies Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey.
(snip)
At 5 p.m. in Washington, D.C. (11 p.m. in Libya), nearly an hour and a half after the attack began, according to the Pentagon’s timeline, “Secretary Panetta and General Dempsey attend a previously scheduled meeting with the President at the White House.”
Panetta and Dempsey leave the Whitehouse and return to the Pentagon for a meeting with General Ham from 6pm to 8pm.
Rep. John Chaffetz R-UT has said on TV(there is a Youtube video/Fox News) that he has met with General Carter Ham in person and found out that:
1- There were assets in the area
2- They had “proximity”
3- Gen. Ham was never given a directive to use them
