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.

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."

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.
