Benghazi: Special Ops unit in Tripoli ordered to stand down

May 6, 2013

  Barack Obama told the American people that before he went to sleep on the night of the Benghazi terrorist attack (while the attack was still ongoing) he authorized the use of all available resources to help get the situation under control.

  This was in direct conflict with Leon Panetta’s testimony: He claimed that after a pre-scheduled 5:00 meeting with the president that Barack Obama was not heard from again that evening.

  Now we have learned from whistle-blower Gregg Hicks that a special operations force in Tripoli were preparing to fly into Benghazi but were ordered to stand down:

Hicks also reported that SOCAFRICA commander Lt. Col. Gibson and his team were prepared to board a C130 from Tripoli before the attack on the Benghazi annex. Gibson received a call saying “you can’t go now, you don’t have the authority to go now.’ And so they missed the flight … They were told not to board the flight, so they missed it.”

  If this special ops unit was allowed to proceed it is likely that Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods would be alive today so the question is; did Barack Obama actually order all available resources to be used to stop the attack or was his order disobeyed?  Personally, I find it hard to believe anyone disobeyed a direct order from the commander-in-chief, if they had they would have been held accountable because it would have given Barack Obama the “out” he so desperately needs at this point. I don’t think the order was ever given.

    I’d still like to know why one of the two drones that were sending live film of the attack wasn’t used to kamakazi that mortar?

    There’s something more to this story. Why was Stevens even in Benghazi that day?

    Ain’t no doubt in my military mind that puddle of camel diarrhea ordered a stand down. The whole thing was to do a deal with the Arab “captors” for points in it’s reelection campaign. Then the Arabs, as they are wont to do, lost their minds and commenced to killing anything that wasn’t one of their own.

      There is no doubt in my mind who ordered the stand down. There have been rumors out there since the beginning that Stevens was supposed to have been kidnapped and released in exchange for the blink sheikh, all I know is that this story is even bigger than we know.

        I think so too cmblake, the only question is, will it still be huge if the MSM ignores it?

    All indicators, at this time, point to a coverup of neglect and dereliction of duty. Obama has nothing to lose unless he tries to subvert the constitution and stand for a third term. Even so, what can happen, he wins in a landslide? If Hillary goes unscathed the only remaining question in the 2016 election is who has the bigger spread, her or Chris Christie. And with Christie having lost the PETA vote along with Marco Rubio insuring millions more formerly illegal newly registered voters from south of the border Hillary Hussein Clinton has the election all sewed up. With Attorney General Eric Holder running interference (in comparison John Mitchell was a choir boy), should this investigation grow wings, along with the troops in the MSM running a diversion strategy how much will trickle out to the pacified citizenry? Public outcry, congressional action, I don’t think so. Unlike Monica Lewinsky Hillary will have no stains on her pantsuit and as for Obama, he can build his presidential library next store to Grauman’s Chinese Theater.

      I think what this tells us is that it is time for the New Federalist Party! Both the Republicans and the Democrats have been corrupted and it is time for a new party to emerge.

    This story seems to get bigger and bigger and along with it, the coverup of what actually happened.

    I have a liberal who has found my blog and she insists the only reason the GOP are digging at this story is because of Hillary Clinton and 2016. That told me all I needed to know about her.

      And that is the prevailing attitude on the left. The fact that these people think we are only interested in the truth to bring down Hillary before 2016 is quite telling. In fact these people are hoping this doesn’t hurt Hillary because they are the ones who are thinking about the political ramifications of this instead of being concerned with finding out the truth.

    The left’s fixation is so irrational as to defy logic on any level. Vince Foster, 43 deaths connected to Whitewater, Bill’s arriving in Monica’s mouth, as a women’s rights advocate selling out her betrayed sisters by her acceptance of the actions of the philanderer in chief, having a map of the Ponderisa tattoed on her ass and touting a wardrobe from That 70’s Show, pretending to be a Yankees fan even though she grew up in Chicago; none of it sticks. New York State set the standard for carpet bagging by electing that native son of Massachusetts Bobby Kennedy to represent NY in the senate so her election there was business as usual. And now Benghazi will probably go by the boards. The Oval Office awaits the next Clinton.

      Ugh, that is a thought that I cannot bear but you are probably right. The Clinton’s can do no wrong in the eyes of the left.
