Benghazi.
There’s not a chance in the world that we’re forgetting about Benghazi amid all the other revelations of abuses of power swirling around this corrupt administration like dirty water going down the toilet.
Not a CHANCE.
Yesterday, an important hearing that didn’t draw much attention drew mine.
While most are centered on the talking points, I have always insisted there are other, VERY important questions which need to be asked and answered.
Among them…WHO ISSUED THE STAND DOWN ORDERS???
Yesterday, we may well have drawn too close for Obama’s comfort to that answer.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, was in the hot seat yesterday and when the topic of the stand down orders reared its head, Dempsey’s response was telling.
First, he said there were NO stand down orders.
What he stated was, “They weren’t told to stand down. A ‘stand down’ means don’t do anything. They were told that the mission they were asked to perform was not in Benghazi, but was at Tripoli airport.”
Dempsey stated that the Special Forces Unit, tasked with a standing order to rescue the Ambassador in the event of trouble and then to rescue all personnel of the Libyan Mission had been instructed, by their command in Stuttgart, Germany, to…
STAY IN TRIPOLI…AT THE AIRPORT…BECAUSE THE PERSONNEL FROM BENGHAZI WERE, “ON THEIR WAY AND THEY WOULD BE BETTER USED AT THE TRIPOLI AIRPORT BECAUSE ONE OF THEM WAS A MEDIC.” 
Clearly, the best…THE BEST use of a SPECIAL FORCES UNIT…TRAINED TO RESCUE THOSE UNDER FIRE AND EXTRACT THEM FROM HARM’S WAY…is NOT as AIRPORT MEDICS and only because ONE of them was a medic.
The notion is SO absurd it defies ANY sense of logic whatsoever.
What makes this even MORE astonishing is that the order, their task of rescue and extraction, was a STANDING ORDER.
That means that NO further orders would have been necessary for that Special Forces Unit to swing into action.
NONE!!!
However…there WOULD be a need to supersede that STANDING order to keep them at the Tripoli airport as medics.
So…Whether you refer to it as a STAND DOWN order or as a CHANGE of ORDERS…
One thing is CLEAR…
Their standing orders WERE changed.
Now then…WHO gave that change of orders?
WHO COULD give that change of orders???
Only one person.
Only ONE can alter such a standing order and that ONE would have been…
OBAMA.
Nobody else has the authority to supersede the standing rescue and extract orders.
NOBODY.
Why am I so sure it HAD to be Obama?
Simple.
Dempsey stated, “THEY WERE TOLD…” not “I told them…” and the ONLY heads to roll after Benghazi were those of General Carter Ham and Rear Admiral Charles M. Gaouette…BOTH OF WHOM WANTED TO SEND MILITARY ASSETS TO ASSIST IN RESCUING OUR PEOPLE IN BENGHAZI.
HAD SOMEONE ELSE, OTHER THAN OBAMA, CHANGED THOSE ORDERS RESULTING IN THE DEATHS OF 4 AMERICANS, SOMEONE ELSE’S HEAD WOULD HAVE ROLLED OUT OF THE WEST WING AND INTO THE ROSE GARDEN!!!
Let me spell this out as clearly as possible.
Within the first minutes of the attack on the Consulate, while Obama was still in the situation room at the white house, HE had to communicate with the Special Forces Command in Stuttgard and order the Special Forces unit IN Tripoli to STAY in Tripoli and shortly thereafter, Obama walked out of the room, never to return that night and never to check in for updates on the situation.
HE HAD TO KNOW DAMN WELL THAT STEVENS AND OTHERS WOULD NOT, BECAUSE OF HIS ORDERS, HAVE A CHANCE TO SURVIVE!!!!!
HE…OBAMA…DIDN’T JUST LEAVE THEM THERE TO DIE…HE ORDERED THEM TO BE LEFT THERE TO DIE!!!
So now, we have the why?
WHY would Obama issue the change of orders? Why NOT go in and attempt the rescue and extraction of diplomatic personnel?
ESPECIALLY when you have 2 former Navy SEALS painting enemy targets with lasers?
The only obvious answer is startling.
That being…Ambassador Stevens, Sean Smith and whoever else might lose their lives that night, September 11th, 2012…were preordained NOT to come back alive.
There was no telling, at the time OF the first attack, the one on the Benghazi Consulate, how long it was going to be in progress. 10 minutes? 30? An hour? 2 or 3 hours?
NOBODY knew. Those Special Forces should have been in the air within MINUTES of the revelation that the Ambassador and the Consulate was under attack.
Remember too, that Tyrone Woods was NOT supposed to have led a small team the mile or so from the CIA annex to the Consulate to offer assistance either.
REMEMBER that because, THAT means, perhaps, NOBODY was supposed to have gotten out of that Consulate alive.
That TOO sheds a new light on why the CIA annex was later attacked.
Could THAT attack, the one on the annex, been meant to have been an attempt to erase any knowledge or witnesses from the attack on the CONSULATE???
Is this why we have yet to hear from ANY of the survivors of either attack?
Where ARE they?
WHO are they and WHY have we not heard a word from them in 9 months???
Perhaps even more importantly…
WHAT, EXACTLY, DID AMBASSADOR STEVENS KNOW THAT MADE HIM EXPENDABLE?????
Now…Add to this the FACT that our FBI was kept OUT of Benghazi, cooling their heels in Tripoli for 3 weeks after the attacks.
Why?
Why? When JOURNALISTS had free run of the place and the very terrorists did too?
What was scrubbed from that Consulate before the FBI was allowed in and WHO ordered them NOT to go to Benghazi?
CNN discovered the Ambassador’s personal journal and IMMEDIATELY, the State Department demanded its return.
WHY???
Why, when the NYT could walk right up and talk to the terrorist, supposedly in charge of the attacks, while he sipped a frappe at a sidewalk café, can WE not find the rat bastard to this very day?
WHY????
When you take the revelation from Dempsey’s testimony, under oath yesterday, and add it to all that preceded the Benghazi attacks…The drawing down of OUR security teams in Benghazi, ignoring prior attacks on our Consulate, the British Ambassador and the Red Cross, the warnings issued by what was left of our security teams and Ambassador Stevens himself of al Qaeda blanketing Benghazi and THE HIRING OF ANSAR AL-SHARIA TO PROVIDE “SECURITY” AT THE CONSULATE IN BENGHAZI…
More and more, this is looking like a planned execution of our Ambassador from the INSIDE.
A coordinated HIT JOB and COVER UP planned in the oval office and carried out by Ansar al-Sharia in Benghazi.
So…Why didn’t anybody on that congressional committee PRESS Dempsey as to who gave the order to turn a Special Forces team into airport medics?
Because, I suspect, there was nobody there who had the wherewithal to ask such a question.
Oh…There COULD have been such a Congressman there but…coincidentally, he was defeated in November when St. Lucie County had a 141% voter turnout, the recount was stalled by democrats in positions of power past the deadline for counting ballots and, to this day, thousands of MILITARY ballots remain…UNCOUNTED.
That’s right…I suspect that were LT. COL. ALLEN WEST still on that committee…THE most important question NOT asked yesterday…WOULD have been asked.
WHO CHANGED THE STANDING ORDER TO RESCUE THE AMBASSADOR TO…STAY IN TRIPOLI IN CASE SOMEBODY NEEDS A BANDAID?????
Obama, like O.J. Simpson…Just keeps looking in all the wrong places for the killers.
Here are some other things to consider:
SHOCKING testimony from Ambassador Stevens Deputy who says Special Forces were told to STAND DOWN during the embassy attack:http://www.isthatbaloney.com/chris-stevens-deputy-us-special-forces-told-to-stand-down-night-of-benghazi-
Did Obama fire 4 generals to cover up Benghazi, in addition to using false talking points? http://sco.lt/51mLwn
Hillary hired what she believed to be locals to protect our consulate. Background checks done by Planned Parenthood…
Its the same d@mn argument we have with Chambliss, Sen./GA.-Vice Chrmn. Sen. Intel Com.
Do you have the names and addresses and a resume on the people receiving the weapons, Tanks and 4 F-16s that you have already sent to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Oh yeah we know who gets them….Right my @ss you know, these people. Oh, and BTW folks Taxpayer dollars will deliver 12 more by end of Dec. 2013, to O’s MuslimBro’s in case you are wondering, John Kerry already delivered the 1.6 bil. $ check to them.
…And the conversation had with Brandon W/Chambliss office this past Tuesday of last week…RE: Patriot Missiles, F-16 for Drills in Jordan. Brandon said Drills are necessary for practice and more likely than not we will leave our troops and Missiles behind to protect Jordan. I told him the same thing. You don’t have a clue who gets what and what and who these people are when you hand our money over and our weapons and our , Soldiers and Marines and it will probably end up just like Benghazi. Pi$$ed him off, and then he starts saying well Chambliss is the vp of Intel Cmt., I said yes, and he was a prominent lawyer in GA before he was a Senator too, so what does that give us. I said it better Not end up like Benghazi and said have a nice day and hung up.
Saxby Chambliss, literally went on MSNBC and said this: Susan Rice….”well she didn’t lie, and she didn’t tell the “truth”….I called the next morning and asked his aid if he had been drinking and asked if he had a drinking problem. His aid states…How dare you ask such a question.
Sure hope we can get Col. Congressman West back, and folks like Senator Cruz to provide us American Truth Value Principles and obtain our Free Republic from these rat trapping ego-maniac carpet baggers.
P.s…for those who are wondering how Obama overthrew Egypt and Mosni Muburak….our state department gave them a check of 770 million dollars and that money was suppose to repair mosques sewer systems and buy computers. Do you believe that? No me either. It was handed over to the muslims in charge of the mosques and used in the rebellion. Then secretary Hillary Clinton had told Mosni Muburak he would have to step down. Lybia’s Gaddafi was overthrown because he had created the African Gold Dinar. He was going to require anyone buying his oil trade with his Dinar first. It would have collapsed the dollar. And even though Obama wants to collapse our economy he and the new world order do not want any regime stabilized and making money because their intentions along with the Bildenberg group is to promote a cashless society….that will be the mark of the Beast….and every year when the Bildenbergs meet with their groups…Obama, Hillary, Bill,,,the CEO of IBM they are talking about this chip. This RFID chip will have all capabilities ,,,,,GPS so they track everyone,,,health information, people’s personal data so they can access it by computer and of course a chip they can easily enforce penalties and deduct from people’s accounts. It is all about power and control over people. The bible says all who receive the Mark of the Beast will be punished by God and can never be saved. So whoever worships the beast and his image is lost forever. DO NOT TAKE ANY RFID CHIP EVEN IF IT IS REQUIRED FOR HEALTH PURPOSES…..BECAUSE THEY HAVE MADE IT A FINANCIAL CHIP AND THE BIBLE TEACHES…..REVELATION 13….”HE CAUSES ALL TO RECEIVE A MARK IN THEIR RIGHT HAND OR FOREHEAD SO THAT NONE MAY BUY OR SELL SAVE HE WHO HAS THE MARK. ” IT IS ITIMATELY CONNECTED TO COMMERCE….AND THERE IS A SPECIAL TATOO INK THAT IS PATENTED FOR SPECIAL USE WITH RFID CHIP TO SHOW WHERE THEY ARE IMPLANTED…..THE BIBLE IS A TRUSTWORTHY SOURCE AND IT GIVES TWO LOCATIONS BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT HAND…..BUT ANYONE LIVING HAS A FOREHEAD. OBAMA IS THE LAWLESSNESS ONE OF II THESOLONIANS……OBAMA IS THE SON OF PERDITION….OBAMA IS THE LITTLE HORN OF DANIEL 7 AND WE ARE SEEING THE REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE THE FINAL BEAST KINGDOM OF THE 4 BEAST KINGDOMS THAT DANIEL DREAMS ABOUT THAT COME AGAINST GOD AND GOD’S HOLY PEOPLE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE THE HOSTILITY TO CHRISTIANS…..AND COLD BLOODED MURDER OF THEM RISE AND JUST LIKE IN THE ROMAN DAYS WHEN THEY THREW CHRISTIANS INTO THE LIONS ARENA TO BE RIPPED APART WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD KILL EGYPTIAN COPTIC CHRISTIANS,,,NIGERIA TO KILL CHRISTIANS,,,PAKISTAN TO BURN CHRISTIANS HOMES, IRAN TO LOCK UP PASTORS AND BEAT THEM TRYING TO GET THEM TO RECANT THEIR CHRISTIAN BELIEFS AND SUBMIT TO ISLAM……AND OF PALESTINIANS SEEKING TO KILL JEWS. FINAL DAYS……GOD IS BRINGING ALL OF MANKIND DOWN TO JUDGMENT…..AND EVEN THOUGH OBAMA REMOVED THE DICTATOR IN TUNISIA IT IS SYRIA THAT IS PART OF THE 10 KINGS REMOVED. HE WILL SUCCEED.
What most people like myself wonder is when will Congress act appropriately and remove this man who has usurped the authority of the white house. It is common knowledge that Sheriff Arpaio and his investigators can show Obama is a fraud. Yet Congress still does not do it’s job and charge him with the felonies he is committing. I offer a solution to this paradox. Obama is the antichrist. Those of know our bibles know that Obama if fulfilling Daniel 7 of the Holy bible and that he is the little horn coming up among the 10 arab muslim dictators and uprooting 3,,,Egypt, Libya, and now Syria. He will prosper until his indignation is complete. Now is the time for all Americans and people around the world who have not come to Jesus Christ for salvation to call out to him and be saved. We are in the final days…….as frustrating as this is ….they will not remove him because he is the son of perdition…..it will continue to get bad and he will continue to give American tax payers monies to terrorist regimes……and support the Palestinians……we should not be any part of the nations seeking to divide God’s Holy Land to seek peace agreements. God will judge those nations who divide his Holy Land Israel,,,and Jerusalem. That land belongs to the 12 tribes of Israel who was given that land in a special eternal convenant between them and God. Joel 3 says God will judge those who divide his Holy Land. Revelation 13 makes it clear that the Mark of the Beast will be intimately connected to buying and selling and that is the financial RFID chip. Obama’s current medical RFID chip is not approved as of yet….but Obama gave this chip that is classified as a Class II implantable medical device financial capabilities…..he will use worldwide socialized healthcare as an excuse to implant a medical / financial chip into people. It will be the Mark of the BEast…..probably because some Pope thinks he is doing a favor with socialized medicine for the whole world and Israel will buy into the peace program….to get their third temple built………..We are heading to the 7 year tribulation….Trust Jesus Christ and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ we in the final days of the church…..judgment from God is around the corner and the Kingdom of Jesus Christ too thank God…! God is Holy,,,he will not be mocked….every man, woman and child will stand before God on Judgment day…Obama will not escape judgment for what he has done.
something is real bad going on.THANKS BOB
When is the Army,navy and the marrines.take marshell law and get the corrupt polatision out office.have a full investaion. because the u.s.a will be unait O or something like that. We will have no right if thing keep going the way they are.THAT IS MY THINKING.
@ Wm. S. Jones… thank you Captain Obvious.
Great article, now will we ever get an answer seeing as these jerks blew it yet again?
Tina, you have hit so many nails on the head….I love you!
When is the military going to turn on this traitorous prick??
How about this for another HUGE scandal????
Is this for real? If so, I have no words to describe my utter disbelief!

Obama set up a hit on Steven’s. I would bet the farm on it. Not even an inkling of doubt in my mind. That evil, insidious SOB does not have a limit to the depths he is willing to sink. He has no humanity or conscience. He is a sociopath. I wish he had been there when the attack occurred. But that is just me daydreaming.
Funny thing is. When the Moslem Brotherhood are done with Obama and his usefulness to them has expired. They will kill him. They hate him more than anyone. He is valuable to their cause right now. But he will always be a bowing, scraping, peasant half breed to them. It is sickening the way he labors after their attentions and approval. The piece of sh*t had the opportunity to lead a prosperous country, to make history with good and noble actions, instead he chose to be Satan’s right hand man.
Excellent, excellent article….Admin is right….and the ONLY person who can order military to cross country lines to rescue troops is our POTUS….end of story. Only point you could have included was that Obama, clinton, dempsey and panetta had ‘prescheduled meeting’ at 5 which no one has ever indicated the purpose….in terms of the 17th brigade….the state dept knew they were alqaeda….stevens job was to work with Ansar al sharia guy to coordinate weapons flow from libya to syria through turkey…last shipment was september 8 on a ship through turkey….stevens was murdered to get rid of loose ends…
I don’t think you’ve made your case on this one.. let’s take it one by one..
1) “They were told” could have meant anyone in their chain of command, it didn’t have to be 0bama..
2) They were initially sent by Gregory Hicks (from his Congressional testimony).. he’s a civilian, the one in charge as soon as Stevens went missing.. anyone in the military chain of command could have changed that order.
3) There had already been 2 embassy attacks.. Cairo and Benghazi.. no one knew if the Tripoli embassy or Tripoli airport would also come under attack.. If they’d have been at the Benghazi airport basically loading passengers while the Tripoli embassy was being attacked, they would have been out of position. At the airport in Tripoli, they could assist in rendering aid and providing cover and still be in position to protect our people in Tripoli.. (as for why other assets weren’t sent from other places in the region.. that’s another matter)
4) Why was the FBI kept out of Benghazi? That one also is pretty clear. The Prime Minister of Libya had come out right away and said it was an organized terror attack.. only to be undercut by the “youtube video” story and our own admin denials of an organized attack. He was furious and wouldn’t cooperate with us after that.
5) Why was Stevens journal immediately demanded returned? It wasn’t a personal diary, but a professional one detailing his movements and official actions.. of course the govt wanted that back. What he was doing was classified.
6) Why haven’t we heard from the witnesses? They were at an undercover CIA operation.. they’re all undercover CIA.. their names will never be released. Why Congress hasn’t had access to them or their statements is a whole nother matter.
7) Now, for the “Red Cross” attack you mention, it was actually “Red Crescent” and they were all from Iran. So who could possibly have kidnapped 7 Iranian operatives in Benghazi? Our CIA? Was that who they were looking for that night? Who knows.. They were later all released unharmed and left the country.
8) Tyrone Woods was not supposed to go to the consulate.. could that be because he was part of a top secret undercover CIA operation and bringing them back there would blow the entire operation? Entirely possible.
9) The hiring of the Feb 17th Brigade.. external embassy security is ALWAYS provided by that nation’s own forces. That group was recommended by Libya, and was the least bad of available options. Was it wise? Clearly NO.. was it following standard processes in place worldwide? YES.
10) I completely agree he should have been pressed to answer.. Who changed the order then?? But these aren’t professional prosecutors, these are professional politicians. And clearly the questioner wasn’t very quick on their feet as that’s the obvious follow up question.
I agree that the truth of Benghazi has yet to come out and we need to keep pressing and asking questions.. The fallen and their families deserve the truth.
Rogue…
Let me address your points one at a time.
1. The chain of command in this case ie VERY short. 1 link in fact. Their standing orders were to be available to effect a rescue and extraction of the Ambassador and U.S, personnel. The ONLY person in the chain of command with the authority to alter that standing order is the commander in chief.
2. Hicks never sent anyone. Hicks was in charge of evacuating the embassy. See number 1.
3. According to Dempsey’s testimony yesterday…The special forces unit in Tripoli was NOT ordered to stay IN Tripoli in case of an attack there…They had their orders changed to be at the airport to act as MEDICS.
4. Wrong. Journalists were allowed free run of Benghazi and in a case where our people were killed…We don’t take orders from anyone. Those Consulate grounds are equal to U.S. soil and therefore, our FBI had every right to be there investigating.
5. Nobody keeps classified info in a journal. The journal in question WAS his personal journal and has been reported as such by CNN and the State Department.The entire Consulate was full of classified material and we did NOTHING to secure ANY of it. In fact, a week AFTER the attack, journalists were still finding pieces of files, documents and other classified items. If the government was so concerned about such things…All the more reason to have had the FBI there post haste.
6. Many were diplomatic personnel. Several were at the Consulate that night and were rescued by Ty Woods. The annex is another story as it was CIA. There are ways for ANY or ALL of them to be interviewed by congress although none of them have been allowed. We have heard from one survivor’s father who let it be know that his son was being intimidated into NOT speaking out.
7. The Red Cross was the…RED CROSS and their headquarters in Benghazi was attacked prompting them to LEAVE Benghazi. This came on the heels of 2 seperate attempts on the life of the British Ambassador AND 2 separate attacks on OUR Consulate in Benghazi before 9/11/12. The Brits ALSO pulled out and the warnings from Ambassador Stevens and what was left of our own security team made it clear that OURS was the last flag, other than the black flag of al Qaeda, flying in Benghazi.
8. Tyrone Woods was ordered not to go to the Consulate that night. He was a former NAVY SEAL, highly trained and fully capable of rescue and extraction just like the Special Forces team which was ordered to stay in Tripoli. As the annex and Consulate were only 1 mile apart and both were engaged in operations in Benghazi…and as al Qaeda had taken control OF Benghazi…It is implausible that al Qaeda didn’t already know the whereabouts OF the annex. Also…it was HOURS after the attack on the Consulate before the attack on the annex began. Therefore…the terrorists did NOT follow Woods and those rescued back to the annex. They arrived at the annex hours later.
9. Regardless of who recommended the February 17th Brigade…They was Ansar al-Sharia…al Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula. As we had CIA right there and this fact was well known world wide…To say that they were the “LEAST bad available option” is incomprehensible at best. The BEST option would have been to INCREASE our OWN security teams but instead…OURS were drawn DOWN.
10. That is exactly why it became SO necessary, through voter fraud, to remove Allen West from congress to keep someone of a military mind from asking the right questions.
Craig.
Next will be the exposure of the execution of navy seals one month after the theatrical capture of Osama bin Laden. High ranking military leaders have already confirmed that there was never really a capture of OBL and that he died in 2007 in the hills of Toro Boro due to lack of medical attention as he had kidney disease. Many other Countries are laughing at USA because we have been fooled by our Government in believing that Obama took out Osama Bin Laden.
This all makes perfect sense to anyone who knows all of the details. It appears that Steven’s was set up for slaughter. I STILL think that Benghazi is the key to bring this admin down, and that is why they are desperate to draw attention away from the investigation. It as if they are purposely overwhelming the system with so many scandals, that this one will be lost in the shuffle. There aren’t enough good men or committees in Washington to keep up with the overwhelming corruption. They are INTENT on taking America down and reforming it into THEIR image. An Alinsky rule is, when you run into resistance STEP ON THE GAS. That is what they are doing. We are hanging by a thread.
You know…I thought this from the beginning! It was all too tidy and locked up! Where the hell are the survivors??? Are there any left??? Too Many Questions!!!
This reminds me of someone sending an officer into a battle knowing he would be killed JUST to get rid of them .
