Report: U.S. Rescue Team Was on Its Way to Benghazi, But Was Turned Back
PJ Media ^ | January 15, 2016 | Debra heine

Posted on 01/15/2016 4:16:25 PM PST by AU72

The evidence is overwhelming that the United States had several rescue teams ready to go during the 2012 Benghazi attacks, but someone -- possibly the president himself -- prevented them from acting. So said Emmy Award-winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson to talk show host Steve Malzberg in an interview on Wednesday.

This week on her show, "Full Measure," Attkisson looked into the aborted rescue mission in an in-depth two-part report, "Rescue Interrupted," which you can watch here and here. She spoke with a Green Beret commander who told her that there were actually Special Forces on their way to Benghazi who were turned back.

What could possibly induce the President of the United States to turn back a US military rescue operation?

Needed POTUS to sign off on the border crossing and he didn’t.

Ham and how many other Admirals, etc. were made to take early retirement and reassignments over this.

No one can say where Obama and Hillary were doing most of those thirteen hours. In the military, that is known as Abandoning One’s Duty Station. And that night, their duty station was definitely in the White House Situation Room as that terrorist attack unfolded and lasted for hours.

Yeah, like maybe they were calling for help because of equipment trouble and got told no help was coming. And to get ready to raise their hands.

I call BS on POTUS being able to call back or stop a rescue attempt. Any commander would just say “message garbled, sorry magic negro, didn’t get that order til it was too late”

Only problem is I don't think anything other than a tiny minority of Americans see that as a problem.

After this fiasco Trump declared Hillary was a great Secretary of State and even donated $100K to her foundation.

There is real love there.

“General Ham Admiral Gaouette Relieved Of Duty - This GRU report, however, states that Admiral Gaouette’s firing by President Obama was due to this strike force commander disobeying orders when he ordered his forces on 11 September to “assist and provide intelligence for” American military forces ordered into action by US Army General Carter Ham, who was then the commander of the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), against terrorist forces attacking the American Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.”

Yes, I recall that at least two commanders were relieved in the days immediately following Benghazi.

How this situation was able to be kept hushed up for more than three years is beyond me.

There must be many on Capitol Hill who know the truth.
