the thinks HE is beyond TIME and SPACE.....
From the story (Two military teams — one in Croatia and the other in the U.S. — prepared to go but, as the situation changed, weren't brought to Libya. They would have arrived too late.)
The question still remains and apparently was not asked, How did you know, how long the attack would last?
So in hindsight they could say it would have been too late, but how could they know that at the time, I mean they testified they knew so little yet they knew any response would have been too late.
Everyone who draws pay from the federal government lives in terror of reprisal from this administration. Whistleblowing, once encouraged, is now soundly punished. Those who dare speak the truth risk everything.
Something isn’t right here. No military man would have just stood there and done nothing unless he KNEW for sure, and for a fact, that any danger had passed. If he didn’t know he would have gotten there as fast as he could just in case he could help his fellow soldiers/those in trouble.
None of the “Brass” of military leaders thought to put their special forces, F-16s, security forces, etc. on alert?
What the hell was Christopher Stephens doing in Benghazi on September 11th? Why wasn't he advised to stay in Tripoli on September 11th, where there was adequate security.
What kind of alerts went out from SecState to all U.S. Embassies (world-wide even) on September 11th?
I thought we had special forces in Sicily and they were the closest possible response.
The treasonous, moronic cowards let Americans DIE
precisely so that America would hencefore be
defined as letting its HEROES be raped and murdered
while being filmed and watched at the WHITE HOUSE,
and so that MANDPADS (which will be used to murder
innocent Americans) could be transferred to
al Qaeda (now ISIS).
How is that other than THEIR, Huma’s,
Clinton’s and Obama’s fault?
Pure and simple the military was stopped from automatically reacting to the situation in Benghazi by someone of higher authority within the Cabinet of the C.I.C., or the C.I.C. himself. No further explanation required.
Now the question is who, and why?
A cover up is in process.
Stevens and the CIA were running weapons from Qadaffi’s stores to ISIS in Syria via Turkey. Stevens was in Benghazi to meet a Turkish attache regarding a shipment the day of the attack.
My guess for the reason for the attack is simple: Libya jihadi militias wanted those weapons for themselves, and weren't too keen on having them taken away.
The whole operation was on a need to know basis: the operation was run from Benghazi because it's more isolated. In Tripoli, these activities would have drawn too much attention.
The attack when it occurred was monitored live in the WH, but no rescue operation was going to be authorized - the election was a couple of months away and any rescue would draw attention to what was going on there. And a jihadi attack on 9/11 would give the lie to Barry's foreign policy “successes.”
The guys in the field were left to fend for themselves, while the WH cooked up the stupid video story.
Barry figured that a compliant press more interested in getting their man reelected would ignore the story, and he was right.
These military guys in Tripoli probably suspected more than they're telling, but since they were kept in the dark about the operation they can testify under oath that they didn't know much and still technically be telling the truth.
Hicks: Special Forces ‘Furious’ Upon Being Told to Stand Down video at link"According to Benghazi whistleblower Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission in Libya, special forces were “furious” when they were told to stand down during the Benghazi attack. “I will quote Lieutenant Colonel Gibson,” Hicks told the House Oversight Committee in hearings today, “He said, ‘This is the first time in my career that a diplomat has more balls than somebody in the military.’”"
This might be considered a stand down too.
Whistle-blower: Botched talking points hurt FBI probe of Benghazi attack"Another whistle-blower questioned Wednesday why more military assets were not deployed sooner during the Benghazi terror attack. Mark Thompson, a former Marine and official with the State Department's Counterterrorism Bureau, said he was rebuffed by the White House when he asked for a specialized team -- known as a FEST team -- to be deployed. This is a unit made of special operations personnel, diplomatic security, intelligence and other officers."
Here is a third way a "stand down" policy was implemented IMO.
Blow-by-Blow: How Obama & Hillary Left Americans to Die"Nordstrom further testified in writing that Hillary Clinton waived security requirements for the Benghazi consulate despite high and critical threat levels in the six categories of security standards established under the Overseas Security Policy Board and the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999. The waiver can only be authorized by the Secretary of State, who cannot delegate that responsibility to someone else. ”If the Secretary of State did not waive these requirements, who did so by ordering occupancy of the facilities in Benghazi and Tripoli?” Nordstrom wrote."
"Initially, I was angry," he recalled. "Because a tactical commander doesn't like to have those decisions taken away from him. But then once I digested it a little bit, then I realized, OK, maybe there was something going on. Maybe I'm needed here for something else."
Rear Adm. Brian Losey, who gave the order, said he needed Gibson's team in Tripoli in case trouble started there.
IOW.... Losey gave the order to stand down.
Any investigator NOT asking this question should be fired for gross incompetence.
everyone should read Ken Timmerman’s new book Dark Forces, also go the website of Walid Shoebat, he has this pretty much figured out. Also google “Benghazi or bust” and watch the video that will come up. The Obama Admin was responsible for the video, mark Youseffe has a long history as a Federal informant and small time crook, he never made a movie in is life. He was let out of jail a year early in JUne 2011, a couple weeks later he contacted a movie industry small timer named Alan Roberts real name Robert Brownell to help make the film. Mark Youseffe then contacted Steve Klein and Joseph Nassralla to be used as dupes to take the blame for the video. Joseph Nassralla’s business “Media for Christ” was used without his permission to apply for film permits. Two weeks before Sept. 11, 2012 Youseffe contacted Morris Sadek and Dr. Terry Jones and asked them to promote the film, never called “innocence of Muslims” until Sept. 11, 2012. Youseffe was arrested on Sept. 15, 2012 right on schedule and whisked away by the Justice dept, after conveniently calling the Wall Street Journals as “Sam Bacile” on the morning of Sept. 12, 2012 to blame the video on Jews who financed the movie, a complete lie. When contacted just a few hours later as Nakoula Nakoula he claimed to be a Coptic Christian, also a lie. Youseffe is a Muslim with ties to Eiad Salameh, his partner in crime for eight years and a known terrorist, they are probably both from Syria or Palestine. Google Walid Shobat, Robert Brownell etc, the truth is all out there for anyone to figure out. We have a president, Attorney General, former Secy of State and director of the CIA and many more who have committed treason on a grand scale. I recommend everyone call their elected representatives and demand the truth.
Benghazi ping.
Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.
bfl
IF the top brass was NOT told to ‘stand down’ they need to resign. Really, why put up with the costs of having a military if they can’t respond to something this simple.
