"You are assuming though that Jarrett doesn’t have a string puller too. She does.....it’s Russia and Iran."

That attributes to her more than I have seen evidence for or stomach to contemplate. That would put her in the category of historic legend--- a select few. Think of it--- what a squalid, parochial criminal to earn such exalted opprobrium.

I do keep in mind, however, that history has sunk that low.

She has and holds her position by virtue of having the confidence of both Michelle and Barrack. I think it ends there.

"You are assuming though that Jarrett doesn’t have a string puller too. She does.....it’s Russia and Iran."

I'm still thinking. For what you suggest to be true, Jarrett would have to be betraying both Michelle and Barack.

I don't think she is that megalomaniacal.

You've got me pondering, however...way past my bedtime. I never dismiss your instincts. :-)

I was a SEAL officer and was in many joint and combined operational planning meetings etc. This is called a "NEO" operation, for Non-combatant Evacuation Operation. Every embassy and consulate has and practices all kinds of emergency evac plans, in concert with the US military. For example, Marines and SEALs practice NEO ops prior to deploying on a float, as a VERY high priority mission. They involve full dress rehearsals, with "civilian" role players, helos, landing craft, rounding up stranded stragglers, fighting your way to LZs while protecting a gaggle of civilians down to babies etc. Conducting successful NEO ops is a TOP TOP TOP military and state dept. mission priority.

When the alarm goes worldwide that an embassy or consulate is being attacked, the entire U.S. military swings into rescue mode, without waiting for any orders from the White House. The military does all of the operational planning and begins to execute the rescue op.

The one thing they CAN'T do is cross an international border without permission from POTUS. So the US Military will be inbound full-steam-ahead to make the rescue, and all they need from POTUS is a "proceed" order. In this case, they got a "stand down" instead.

This is at the POTUS level, it is not a decision taken at State. State and the military (JCS) should be in the Situation Room with POTUS soon after a critical incident like this begins, so all decisions can be made in real time. (I have heard nowhere that POTUS went into the Situation Room. Oval office briefly, but not down to the Situation Room, where the "war planning" screens and commo tools are all located.)

But if POTUS punts after the brief Oval Office meeting with Dempsey and Hillary and goes upstairs to the family quarters....the stranded Americans will die.

Only POTUS can give the order to cross international borders. Only POTUS can allow US warplanes to give air support to Americans battling on the ground in a foreign country. If POTUS makes himself unavailable, the Americans will die.

Even the VEEP or Sec State cannot make that call. The VEEP can only do it if the POTUS is determined to be medically unable to perform his functions. If the POTUS goes upstairs and turns off his phone, there is nothing anybody can do about it. Nothing.

I see you were up late last night!! Same thing happened to me the night before. We worry and fear for our country. I guess my feelings about Jarrett start with her being raised by communists, just like Obama. Her family were also of Iranian bloodlines. My instincts about her stem from there and a book I read years ago called Unholy Alliance. A book about the alliance between radical leftists /communists and radical Islam. One thing I do know is that this whole cabal surrounding this president does not have this country’s best interests at heart. Jarrett would not be betraying Obama or Michelle because they are commies too. She is Obama’s brain and he likes it that way. He just wants to run around hangin with the glitterati.
