Hillary’s Benghazi Stand-Down Order Exposed
Front Page Mag ^ | January 13, 2016 | Kenneth R. Timmerman

A preview by Benghazi security officer Kris “Tanto” Paronto of 13 Hours, the block-buster Michael Bay film that premieres on Thursday, raises dramatic new questions about the refusal by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to authorize a military rescue of the besieged U.S. diplomatic facility and the nearby CIA Annex on Sept 11-12, 2012.

In a presentation at a conference organized by the Maryland Citizen Action Network last weekend, Paronto revealed that two AC-130H “Spectre” gunships were “on call” that night, both within range of Benghazi.

One of them was a six-hour flight away, co-located with a U.S. special operations team in Djibouti.

The other was at Naval Air Station Sigonella, in Sicily. “That’s a 45-minute flight,” Paronto said.

The Spectre gunship with its 25mm rapid-fire gatling guns, its 40 mm precision Bofors gun, and its 105mm canon is “good in urban warfare because you have little collateral damage,” Paronto explained.

Later, his friends in the unit told him they had been shut down sometime after midnight.

All evidence now points to a specific stand-down order issued by Secretary Clinton, since the Libyan facilities came under her direct authority. Without a specific request for assistance from the State Department, the Pentagon was powerless to act.

Sorry I don’t have secret shipping manifests for you or anything. But it extremely well documented that we bombed on behalf of AQ in Libya and that AQ in Syria is called Al Nusra. An we are supplying Al Nusra via Turkey.

Benghazi was an operation for CIA/State to smuggle weapons to Al Qeida, who coincidentally brought you 9/11. THAT is the secret of Benghazi and explains who nobody came to help.

And exactly who we were selling to were the jihadis. There is no other alternative save for the Israelis.

Its booby bait to pretend there is any difference between FSA, Al Nusra, ISIS, etc. They are all the same in every way that matters to an American.

Bush was about containment. The squad of idiots that followed his Administration are about reckless proliferation of Islam.

Thanks for going. Lay a flower or something for me some time when you go.

Here’s hoping they nail Hillary and her boss for that one and the rest who were sacrificed for the 2012 election ripoff.

Never get involved with Clintons. You’ll probably end up raped and/or dead.

Add the whole of the Libyan war was her idea - she pushed for it.

If we keep in mind the political situation at the time, O was getting flak for his weakness in foreign policy and the pre-election polls looked bad for him. I think the plan was to leave Stevens exposed for kidnapping, O could look tough on camera demanding his release, handing AQ arms under the table and securing Stevens release to look strong going into the election. Would have scammed everyone but for two ex-seals that stepped into the breach and screwed everything up for O and Hill.
As a side note, I still don’t believe O got the votes to win but control of the electronic voting machines saved the day. Or ruined the day, depending on your vantage point..

It must not be forgotten that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama left, not four, but some fortyAmericans to die in Benghazi. It was only through the heroism of Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, acting in contradiction of direct orders to stand down and at the cost of their own lives, that most of those forty returned home alive. Again, let it be reiterated that Obama and Clinton were comfortable condemning forty Americans to ugly death at the hands of radical Muslims and to lie about it afterwards rather than admit to whatever was going on in Benghazi or to their own failures. As Hugh Hewitt wrote,
...the cries for help from the brave civilians and soldiers of Benghazi were many and urgent throughout the hours of attack. But the response was ... silence.

Boykin—who is the former commander of the U.S. Special Forces Command, the former deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence and who, in the 1990s, worked with the CIA—told CNSNews.com in a video interview last week that he believes it is a reasonable supposition that the U.S. was supporting or planning to support the Syrian rebels via Benghazi, Libya.

What is it with this b_tch?

Well, she is an obvious National Socialist, which explains her love for the murdering rapists and her visceral hatred for Republicans.

It appeared to be common knowledge that we were running guns out of the compound.

Why

So they can slaughter thousands of people and wage war.

...to whom, I don't know.

The Enemy, some bunch of murdering rapists. It doesn't matter who, they're all the same.
