I’m just sitting here shaking my head. I don’t know what to make of this. I mean, WTF?? There is a WITNESS to Gibson receiving the stand-down order from ... somebody. (Can’t remember the guy’s name right now. The guy in the embassy at Tripoli who was trying to organize some sort of help for the Benghazi group from where he was. He SAW Gibson receive the order, he said, though he didn’t know who it was from. He said Gibson was upset about it.)
I just ... WTF????
OK, the mission had already fallen. There was no reason to send a single troop to protect what was already on fire.
The goings on at the Annex were not State Department. They were CIA. The Marines are not going to be sent in to save the CIA Gun Running operation.
Stop thinking in an honorable and moral way. It makes perfect sense.
