As the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was unfolding, a high-ranking Pentagon official urgently messaged Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s top deputies to offer military help, according to an email obtained by Judicial Watch.
The revelation appears to contradict testimony Defense Secretary Leon Panetta gave lawmakers in 2013, when he said there was no time to get forces to the scene in Libya, where four Americans were killed, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens.
“I just tried you on the phone but you were all in with S [apparent reference to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton],†reads the email, from Panetta’s chief of staff Jeremy Bash. “After consulting with General Dempsey, General Ham and the Joint Staff, we have identified the forces that could move to Benghazi. They are spinning up as we speak.â€

But, but, but this would mean that Obama, Hillary and Susan Rice were lying through their teeth.
I’m shocked. Shocked! I tell ya!!!
I always knew our boys were ready to ride to the rescue. The blood of these men will always be on the minions of this administration. I will never forget the photo of the bloody hand print on the pillar.
Hillary is dead meat. The actions of the FBI in declaring the San Bernardino slaughter an act of terrorism contrary to Obama’s direction tells you all you need to know. Once the FBI investigation of her email server is complete, the results will put Obama and Lynch in a spot.
I’m thinking Comey will then resign and the mess will go public. Trump will run with it and the media sleaze attack on Trump will publicize the mess killing Hillary’s run.
“WE” did not abandon them. Rather, Barry, Hillary, Valerie Jarrett and this entire administration abandoned them.
Among so many other treacherous things they have done, this one pisses me off more than anything else.
In a rational, sane and just nation, they would all be in jail or lined up against a wall and shot.
And add Leon Panetta. We already know they watched the attack in real-time.
This administration made the decision to murder the ambassador and his bodyguards. The question is: why?
Why didn’t someone in the DOD come forward? Why just f n why?
Good points. I see Comey doing the right thing. Anytime a Director or Cabinet Secretary resigns under similar circumstances is bad news for a president. It cannot be ignored or easily dismissed.
I read a article right after this that stated a helo was up in the air and had crashed in the desert. 1 or 2 men hurt. Only saw that article never found a update.
Who knows what coercion is placed upon individuals these days?
But you can bet there was.
No question it was treason and manslaughter at the very least. Still, they are keeping Republicans on the defensive. No coincidence that they are all in unison today trying to demand Trump be censured and forced out of the race.
Talk about a low point for all the brass. Who are these gutless people?
What is the name of the person who gave the order to stand down?
Americans have the right to know!
Note that General Carter Ham was transferred from command of AFRICOM shortly afterward, at the end of a 24 month tour (which should have wrapped up in March 2013), sparking much discussion of whether that was over the Benghazi incident. He retired in June 2013.
Me too. This is a huge revelation. The GOP should scream about these Benghazi revelations, not attack and misrepresent what Donald Trump says. GOP is only hurting itself.
I want to see it all end, but I want it to end, after a fair trial, with public hangings.
Would have been easy enough for Jarrett or Holder to have made THE phone call to him....
We had an enemy president to re-elect and nothing was more important to the leftist Freak murderers.
