Fact 1: According to Special Ops Lt, Colonel "Doug" calling Rush Limbaugh today, there are standing orders for instant flash communication about any attacks on US Ambassadors or four-star generals. As soon as the assault on the Benghazi mission started, local personnel notified the US Embassy in Tripoli, which triggered an instant alarm in Washington, DC. The President's military aide knows within a few minutes and is required to notify POTUS immediately. Two separate "In Extremis" rescue teams were alerted, a C-130 was ready, and F-18 jet bombers. US personnel laser-spotted the Libyan mortar team that killed Americans, pointing the way for bombs that never came. This is an historic video of instant testimony by Rush Limbaugh's military caller. No need to wait for an "investigation" long after the election.

” But what we really need now is for a high-ranking officer with insider knowledge to go public, risk his pension and career, and tell the truth.”
Hmmm. Thank you for this post.
Who? If not now, when?
That’s my prayer too. One general with honor on “Meet the Press” could blow the traitor-in-chief right out of the water.
Maybe obama voted "present" by making himself unavailable to issue any kind of order.
I agree, no one is pointing any fingers at her over this yet. I want to see her do some serious jail time for her crimes against our country.
That’s my question. Do they only care about their next promotion and their pensions?
What about Duty, Honor, Country?
What about the “core values” such as honor, courage and integrity?
Is the only thing that matters that damn pension? Are our flag-rank officers nothing but heartless mercenaries?
To: TigerClawsI heard a story today from someone inside the military that I trust entirely. The story was in reference to General Ham that Panetta referenced in the quote below.
quote:
“(The) basic principle is that you don’t deploy forces into harm’s way without knowing what’s going on; without having some real-time information about what’s taking place,” Panetta told Pentagon reporters. “And as a result of not having that kind of information, the commander who was on the ground in that area, Gen. Ham, Gen. Dempsey and I felt very strongly that we could not put forces at risk in that situation.”The information I heard today was that General Ham as head of Africom received the same e-mails the White House received requesting help/support as the attack was taking place. General Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the Pentagon that he had a unit ready.
General Ham then received the order to stand down. His response was to screw it, he was going to help anyhow. Within 30 seconds to a minute after making the move to respond, his second in command apprehended General Ham and told him that he was now relieved of his command.
The story continues that now General Rodiguez would take General Ham’s place as the head of Africon.
I found this story when I got home after hearing this story.
quote:
President Barack Obama will nominate Army Gen. David Rodriguez to succeed Gen. Carter Ham as commander of U.S. Africa Command and Marine Lt. Gen. John Paxton to succeed Gen. Joseph Dunford as assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced.As I was typing this I heard John Bolton on Greta say that there are conflicting reports of General Ham’s comments on this tragedy and why a rapid response unit was not deployed. Bolton says someone needs to find out what Ham was saying on 9/11/12.
The White House can now claim they got Bin Laden, Doherty and Woods.
was he relieved? when? or are you being hypothetical?
Do you have any additional info on the Gen Ham story?
POTUS should be impeached for derliction of duty as CINC.
Well, my guess is Valerie Jarrett probably knew.
See post 17. I saw this at another source and am trying to locate.
What conclusion, that he is a liar when he says he is a Christian, or that he is a traitor, colluding with people who have declared war on us to betray Americas interests to the enemy.
One is punishable by hanging, the other by burning in hell for eternity.
Gen. Ham was named head of AFRICOM only 19 months ago.
Now there is this

WOW thanks for that info on how it actually works. Wow. And thank you very much for your service to our country.
Help me out. What did Ham do and when was he relieved?
The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal.
thanks
