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.

Yes, that’s all exactly right from the Zoomie POV. Also similar regards to Navy, USMC, Army and anybody else who could get moving, and was moving.
Except for one bit at the end:
But it’s not about a “stand down”, it’s about Obama just hiding and not granting CBA.

Everybody gets moving a full mach toward Benghazi.....but they can’t cross the border without CBA.

More reasons why the uniparty will take whatever measures to stop a Trump or Cruz. There is only one party ruling in Washington and it is dirty. If a true outside were to take over, there could be a large need for gallows to carry out all the executions for treason.

I read somewhere on internet that Obama/Kerry called Iran

I read that yesterday. The source was said to be Congressman Louie Gohmert R Texas. I haven't heard any more about it.

Here's the link to the story at Conservative Tribune.

Don't know if they are trustworthy or not. Maybe not since I didn't see it anywhere else.

The gun running was happening before Syria. It was used to overthrow Libya.

"And ALL part of the grand NWO plot to FORCE MUSLIMS INTO EUROPE. That is the bottom line in ALL of this, people; Expanding the Caliphate into Europe. This is the REAL conversation ender, right here.

Notice at the SAME time there's an expansion of invaders from CORRUPT COUNTRIES into the United States, and by the way THEY AREN'T WHITE. Mexicans, South Americans, Cubans, Muslims.. Anyone so long as they AREN'T white. This is 0dunga's PUNISHMENT UPON AMERICA aimed at a permanently-entrenched DEMOCRAT MAJORITY."

Spot on. This marxist muslim America-hating faggot illegal alien IS deliberately flooding the United States with millions of 3rd world POS.

There's no doubt in my mind he's behind the muslim invasion of Europe. He's giving out visas to anyone who wants to come to the U.S. as long as they're not white. Terrorists, criminals.....even Ebola patients.

I can't think of a bigger threat to Western Civilization than Ogabe and his muzzie cohorts.

Attkinson will be declared a liar by Hillary and 0bama.

Atkinson better have her taxes in perfect order...

Loretta Lynch and Koskinen are, as we speak, mobilizing Obama Commandos (BLM) to destroy her entire neighborhood...

And shoot her dog.

Getting rid of the Second Amendment is part of the plan also.

NO OBAMA, NO CBA, NO RESCUE, THEY DIE. PERIOD.

Of course. I thought that was generally understood.

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

It was kept hushed because the committee that held hearings was all for show.

“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””

Wrong. Cross Border Authority (CBA) is either given or it isn’t. If it is not, they MUST turn back. There is no such thing as a “stand down” order. There is only permission to cross a border or take action within a border. CBA is specific in that it must be given BY THE PRESIDENT or else by default the military must not act.

So, to use common vernacular, the military operates with “stand down orders” at all times unless Cross Border Authority is specifically issued.

It's like there's not a soul in Washington DC that gives a rat's patootie about this country, other than what s/he can rip off from its taxpayers.

Truly, the 60's generation is in control.

Only the POTUS can give “cross-border authority” .. that is permission for our military to cross over from one country into another - because neither of those countries are America.

Obviously, no authority was given .. meaning the military had to turn back.
