Excellent article, Travis McGee! A radio appearance yesterday, and the PJ Media today! Thank you for all your hard work in trying to get the facts out regarding the treason surrounding Benghazi.

I’m just pointing out how quickly your point would be reached by a responsible media.

1. Who decided to use only in-country assets?
2. Why?

The answer to 2 is that they had no CBA authority.

If the media asks the obvious first question, then they have to ask the obvious second question and Obama is exposed.

Yes, that’s correct. Obama “voted present” and left, is my guess. “Voting present” is not giving execute orders and CBA.

He “wrote off” the Benghazi detachment, hoped for the best, but totally willing to see them all die.

The major QRF forces waiting for the launch order in Sigonella bear silent witness to Obama’s willingness to see the Benghazi det be wiped out.

Non-optimal, a bump in the road.

Yes, “parsing” is used by liars as a tool along with obfuscation, dissembling, half-truths, lies of omission, etc.

At this point, General Petraeus would have to come clean as the “Big John Dean” of Benghazigate to redeem his life’s reputation.

I’m doing all I can, because this specific factoid about CBA means everybody can grasp it.

CBA can be the sharp new crowbar to pry open this rotten wreck of Benghazigate.

It’s provable, either way. Clear cut.

There’s major gaps in the cover stories.

Panetta: Dempsey, Ham, and I discussed it. Me decided not to go.

Ham: I was never ordered to Tom

Obama: I said go immediately (said during the second debate).

Exactly. It is logic so clear that even MSM reporters can understand it.

If they will ask the CBA question, probably not. M

Mike Baker, former CIA operative, was very forceful this morning. The slightly rephrased sound bite - For the WH to standby and not to try breaks code, breaks faith with our GRS. The covenant between the GRS has been broken with this WH.

Very moving. In Obama speak, “Folks, let me be perfectly clear, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.”

For civilians like me, GRS - global response staff, a quick response team who holds down the fort for the short term, like a few hours.

It is hard to believe that 48% of my fellow Americans will vote for this slug of a leader.

If he had done it, we would know it, because the White House could produce the orders. If they existed. No execute order, no CBA, no rescue mission.

Is there a legitimate (i.e., non-political in a domestic/election sense) reason NOT to issue the CBA? Granted, I'm having a hard time coming up with one myself, but strategically, is there any reason the CIA cats out of Tripoli might have been better to handle this operation than our guys out of Sigonella?

Do you think that it's just a coinky-dink that huge Obama supporter, Ben Afflek, just happens to release the movie "Argo",right when Benghazi was breaking?

I smell perfectly timed propaganda, do you?

From the NY Times

WASHINGTON — Thirty-three years after the event, Hollywood has turned its attention to an episode that traumatized the United States for months: the seizure of the American Embassy in Tehran. But it has focused on what one participant called “a footnote”: the escape of 6 embassy personnel, not the 52 Americans who spent 14 months in captivity.

” No “stand down” order was ever given. Obama just didn’t order the rescue mission or grant CBA.

So you can see what a big like by omission it is to say, “The White House never ordered a stand-down.”

They didn’t have to! All they had to do was NOT affirmatively order the rescue or grant CBA.”

All one needs to know. Great job!
