Scandal: Despite the administration's claim, the CIA operatives who fought for their lives and others' from a rooftop say that a stand-down order may have cost four Americans their lives while their ignoring it saved others.
Kris Paronto, Mark Geist and John Tiegen, three CIA contractors who on the night of Sept. 11, 2012, battled with terrorists from the roof of the CIA's Benghazi annex building, would beg to differ with the Obama administration, the CIA and several congressional committees. They say there was an order to stand down that delayed their response and possibly cost the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
In a bombshell interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier aired last week, the three members of the annex security team, whose credibility was etched in blood on that rooftop that fateful night, say they had a team assembled and were ready to proceed to the besieged consulate within five minutes of notice of the attack. They were held back by the top CIA security officer in Benghazi, they say, an officer identified only as "Bob."
"It had probably been 15 minutes, I think, and ... I just said 'Hey, you know, we gotta — we need to get over there, we're losing the initiative,'" Tiegen told Baier in the interview. "And Bob just looks at me and said, 'Stand down, you need to wait.'"
Why "Bob" gave that order or whether he was just passing on orders from superiors was not discussed, although it is a crucial question that makes a big difference in the true narrative of that night. After 30 minutes of waiting, Tiegen and the security team headed for the consulate while asking for air support, any kind of air support, even an F-16 buzzing the compound.

How far up the chain?
I bet it goes right to Jarrett’s door.
It is important to note that they were never given the OK to go to the mission compound. They ignored the stand down order and went, albeit, 30 minutes later.
So, now the regime has politicized the CIA?
Exactly, good point.
about time...
I hope these guys that are, again, risking everything to do what is right turn out ok after all this. They are in a different kind of danger now.
Godspeed gentlemen.
2 years and fmr SoS Clinton has yet to testify under oath.
Why?
Amen.
It is truly hard to believe that Americans died for a purely political reason; to save Obama’s rep for being tough on terrorists.
Then again, it was right before the elections. If that was the reason, then it was truly bad in the worst way.
Where are the families of the dead and injured? Why aren’t they demanding airtime?
Maybe they are demanding airtime, the channels are under no obligation to give it to them.
“It is truly hard to believe that Americans died for a purely political reason; to save Obama’s rep for being tough on terrorists.”
Maybe for you, but not for me! I think Obama would sacrifice his own mother to get what he wants, and Mooch ought to be looking over her shoulder.
IMR 4350’s analysis, big picture, since 9/11/12 was an ‘October Suprise’:
To: F15Eagle
Benghazi was Hillary’s version of the “spontaneous” lie.
Obama’s version of the “spontaneous” lie was the airline plot a few months before.
Hillary had the AP “leak” information and derail Obamas version of the spontaneous lie because Obama had left himself an opening to be reelected.
Once Obama’s version of the spontaneous lie was derailed their only option was Hillary’s version with Benghazi.
With Hillary’s version of the spontaneous lie Obama wasn’t supposed to be reelected.
With Benghazi they planned the attack, then they planned the protest in Egypt to created the spontaneous lie, then they came up with the video to explain the protest.
Benghazi was planned and was supposed to be another October Surprise II.
There wasn’t supposed to be anyone killed they were supposed to be taken hostage.
Hillary would come up with the “spontaneous” lie that there was zero planning and preparations for the attack which no one above the level of idiot was supposed to believe.
Hillary’s minions would then start a rumor mill campaign that Mitt Romney and the repubs had collaborated with the terrorist to take the hostages to make Obama look like Peanuts Carter.
With Obama loosing the election the October Surprise II rumor mill would go full tilt.
The hostages would then be released the day Romney took office to support the October Surprise II story.
This would leave Obama and Hillary a defense for arming up the terrorist.
They would simply claim the CIA was in Benghazi rounding up the weapons and the republicans collaborating with the terrorist to attack the compound is how the terrorist got the weapons.
Once congress started having hearing on Benghazi, the dems would be claiming October Surprise II.
The republicans would then claim the terrorist simply picked up on the dems praising Peanuts Carter at their convention and planned the attack.
In effect the attack was “spontaneous” that no one in this country had collaborated with the terrorist in planning and making preparation for the attack, the terrorist simply picked up on a news story and “spontaneously” planned an attack around it.
In 2016, when Hillary was running against Romney, Romney would be saddled with the October Surprise II rumor.
It’s no different that Hillary concocting the “Bush Knew” story about the 9/11 attack.
Exact same strategy.

They have politicized everything
Ummmm....the coverage of this story seems to be taking one thing for granted.
The term “CIA Compound” is being thrown around very matter of factly.
Gee willikers....maybe those protesters really weren’t upset about a movie...maybe they we an organized force trying to storm the CIA COMPOUND.
Quoting you again.
Damn. Then we are indeed screwed. Because worst of all no one has called him or Hillary out for it.
And I am not referring to the Republicans but Democrats and the MSM. Democrats and those in the MSM who have integrity and honesty. Apparently there are none.
And they misread the map.
Interesting.
Ping.
