RE: Benghazi Security Team: Stand-Down Order Cost Ambassador Stevens His Life…
Nope...not at all. Probably pretty much accurate from what I've read.
And before you all go ape **** on what I've said before on there not being a "stand-down" order, I was always talking about one coming from above...not from the guy right there on the ground. You know...the one the cons tried to put on Panetta and therefore Obama?

ERC doesn't even understand how this changes the whole narrative. What are they going to do now. He'll have to wait for Foxnews to tell him how to spin this on Killary.
RE: Benghazi Security Team: Stand-Down Order Cost Ambassador Stevens His Life…
What I've said all along is that the stand down order, true or not, was not the problem. From everything I've seen, had I been on-scene commander then I would have issued a stand-down order. We had no forces appropriate to the mission in position to respond.
But why was that? That is the question that needs answering. And make no mistake, republican budget cuts had absolutely nothing to do with that. Zero, zip, nada, not even a remote possibility.
Why were there no forces in position to respond? Who made the decision to leave Benghazi--and indeed the entire Med--so ill-prepared for a reasonably foreseeable risk?
It's almost as if whoever made the decision wanted something like this to happen. That can't be true, can it? Then again, if it's not true, what is?

You've been the water carrier since day one on this.
You cant qualify the "stand down" order at this point, by saying "Oh well it didn't come from Obama. Can't 'xplain this away. Who was CinC? Who gives the military their orders? From henceforth there should be no doubt in anyone mind how little a man you are. It is hell being a little man water carrier.

If as you say there were no forces available, why did the first responders ask for armed air support, if there were none, why even ask? They knew there was support avail, there were 3 or more attacks. This is a full blown cover up to protect Killary and Zero before the election. Even some generals fell on their sword for them.

This is no conspiracy, King Zero and Killary have blood on their hands. LOTS of blood, and no amount of whitewashing by you, CommieTom and Mach will make this go away.
