Unsung Benghazi Heroes

Tale of the six Annex Security Team: 13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi

“Five minutes, we’re ready. It was thumbs up, thumbs up, we’re ready to go.”

Kris “Tanto” Paronto, member of the six man Annex Security Team in Benghazi on 9/11/12

After a delay of nearly 30 minutes, the security team headed to the besieged consulate without orders. They asked their CIA superiors to call for armed air support, which never came.

Now, looking back, the security team said they believed that if they had not been delayed for nearly half an hour, or if the air support had come, things might have turned out differently.

They said they were told to stand down; the State Dept. spokesman Marie Harf said there was no order to stand down. Someone is lying. Harf seemed to be loosing her cool.

There should be records and recollections of orders, right?

There is absolutely no reason for these three men to lie. There are a thousand reasons for Obama, Clinton and their flying monkeys to lie.

Not technically a lie. The term 'stand--down order' has a specific meaning in the military, and that is what she is relying on. The fact is that they were told not to go help.
"It depends what the meaning of 'is' is."

The State Department is parsing words about a written/verbal actual, official “Stand Down Order”.

What they were told was to delay, don’t launch. It is the same thing, but there is nothing listed in any log at the time that says “stand down order issued.”

They’re lying. But they’re doing it with finesse.

CIA wanted to burn down the operation. This is how it is done.

Anyone attempting to launch a rescue was told to stand down because this attack was part of the plan to end this operation. Stevens needed to go, along with any other staff who had knowledge.

If there was no "Go" order by Obama, then by all intense and purposes it was a "Stand Down Order". Obama is a dithering fool who waits so long to make a decision that none is needed because evil has/will have prevailed.

I realize that,thus the semantics reference.

I’m am so weary of the games,the politics,the wording, the accusations,and the pathetic apologies.

We have a pathetic poseur in the White House and I’m afraid we will pay a price for it.

So sad!

My interpersonal truth detector alarm went off big time when I compared Marie Harf's demeanor with an earlier appearance.

She was not smiling as in the earlier time. She was tense and evasive. She looked very uncomfortable. Almost like, she didn't really want to be lying.

” She was tense and evasive. She looked very uncomfortable.”


There isn’t enough money in the world that would tempt me to stand like a hand puppet,in front of the entire world, and try to explain away the abuses of this government.

She should quit while she still has her sanity. (Assuming she has any)

IMHO Ms. Harf should be going to prison right along with Ms Clinton. It is sad that the eunuchs who should be providing oversight are sitting this all out.....

This was an excellent documentation of what happened.

Judge Jeannine followed up - she had a scathing commentary on the occupant of the White House.

Plus, Sean Smith’s mother is unrelenting in her determination to find out what happened to her son. God bless this woman - she also tells it like it is.

If anyone missed Judge Jeanine today you missed why most of us feel that King Obama and Hitlerey are responsible for the deaths of the Ambassador and the three brave men.

I don’t feel that Hillary and Obama are responsible for the deaths of the ambassador and the other three. I know with the same certainty that I know that the sun will rise in the east Sunday morning [tomorrow] that they are.
