This call was significant. It demonstrates clearly that Obama knew and knew within minutes what was happening. It also gives me the understanding that if the miltary chain of command, that 4-star in Germany woukd almost routinely okayed an extration, that order could only have been counter-manded by someone higher, the President.
Obama knew. This is treason worse tham Bemedict Arnold.
I for one never faulted Carter for trying to rescue the hostages. Heck, it’s probably the only thing he did right.
Throw every one of these bastards out of office on Nov 6th, and then indict and jail them all for criminal negiligence.
Nobody died in Watergate, and the only deaths associated with Iran-Contra were Saddam’s troops and Sandanista communists.
I have been at work all day, and just got home. Thanks so much for posting this. Each day I think it (the Libya situation) cannot get worse than what I heard that day, but it continues to do so, day after day after day.
Those who plan to vote for Obama have their heads up their rear ends, and that includes both friends and family that I think highly of otherwise. I keep wondering what it will take to get them to open their eyes, but I think they like being blind.
Yup, he knew. More importantly Valerie Jarret and Axelrod knew.
What they feared was a Desert One or Blackhawk Down right before the election, and the Bengazi area is FULL of MANPADS anti-aircraft missles.
So rather than take a small chance at a shoot-down they let those people die. And what is more remarkable is this:
The number of people later evacuated was nearly THIRTY people so at the time of their decision they knew there was a small chance that instead of four people dead there was a small chance there would be THIRTY DEAD.
THAT is how desperate they were to avoid, “POLITICAL EMBARRASSMENT”.
Think THAT over, ok? But then again, these are the same people who were OK with over 300 deaths of poor brown Mexicans (so far) and 2 US cop deaths (so far).
Heads....from The Kenyan’s on down, well into the DoD....should roll over this bullshit. I’m a former AF officer; pilot; SAC aircraft commander....and this turns my stomach in ways I cannot express.
The fact that I also have two sons in the Army makes this whole crew of idiots even more maddening.

Thanks for posting this. Everything this man says about the Flash system brought back memories from when I was in the Pentagon and that terminology was everyday for me. I can’t verify what he was saying about Djuboti, but the relaction forces ring true. Doug is speaking from knowledge. You can listen to the call at the pottom of this Hot Air piece: http://hotair.com/archives/2012/10/26/video-obama-ducks-questions-on-why-help-wasnt-sent-to-benghazi/
Kaslin, thank you so much for this transcript!
I listened to this exchange. The retired officer really put himself out there and provided some excellent information.
And having been part of an ambassadors protection detail, in the not too distant past, I can assure you that if an ambassador puts out a help call, people are gonna come running. And they wouldn’t need permission.
This is the most shocking material I have ever seen about the US government.
Treason is what it is called.
