According to LTC Woods, an SF commander, those teams were on their way to Benghazi, but were turned back.

If Colonel Woods has not yet retired, his career is effectively ended by his name being released.

If 0bummer wouldn't give the CBA (Cross Border Authority) Order, it wasn't going to happen.

You’re quite right. He appeared before Congress in a civilian suit, not a uniform, so I assume he’s retired. There aren’t many SF lieutenant colonels who have commanded a battalion or a Tier 1 or Tier 2 unit make colonel. It doesn’t appear that LTC Woods was promoted.

OBAMA: ...Now with respect to Libya, as I indicated in the last debate, when we received that phone call, I immediately made sure that, number one, that we did everything we could to secure those Americans who were still in harms way;

PRESIDENT OBAMA: ...So as soon as we found out that the Benghazi consulate was being overrun, I was on the phone with my national security team, and I gave them three instructions.

My theory would be that the whole operation is micromanaged out of the White House and Clinton had little to do with it including the oversight she was responsible for as Secretary of State, thus why all the emails for more security go unanswered.

I guess it is narrowed down to Hillary, Obama, Jarrett, or some combination of them; who ordered the stand down of the rescue.

The reason the lie persists is that no “stand down order” was necessary from the top.

As long as Hillary withheld “Cross Border Authority”, DOD was prohibited from acting.

So, only some lowly State Dept. dweeb in Benghazi actually uttered “stand down”, because they lacked authority.

Why do you think that no Cross Border Authority was sought?

Hillary didn’t want the fight to escalate.

It would have revealed the illicit arms transfer they have going.

Here's my review and recommendation of the movie, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.

The movie has very course language and extreme violence. But it is true to life and not gratuitous. I normally would not see, let alone recommend an R Rated movie...but in this case every adult American should know what happened in Benghazi.

I have two requests.

The first is to God in Heaven that He will see that Justice is served on those who failed their countrymen so horribly for pure political expediency.

The second is to all fellow Americans, to make sure that those people, particularly Hillary Clinton, who abjectly lied about these events for political reasons, NEVER be allowed to have the reigns of power like she so desperately craves. In such a position, she would surely do even much worse...as if this travesty was not bad enough.
