No Stand Down Order at Benghazi

What a surprise. Wonder what other cover ups they will find? Are we ready to let those who have died there rest in peace and stop trying to politicize their deaths?

Old news. This came out in Feb. as a matter of fact the Republicans stated this in their report.

"A report by Republicans on the Armed Services Committee recently declared: “There was no ‘stand down’ order issued to U.S. military personnel in Tripoli who sought to join the fight in Benghazi."

At least some in one political party can publish a report that reverses something they said/believed.

I believe Gregory Hicks, who was directly involved in the situation.

“They were not authorized to travel,” Hicks said in response to questions from Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) Wednesday. “They remained in Tripoli with us. The medic went with the nurse to the hospital to — and his skills to the treatment of and care of our wounded.

“How did personnel react to being told to stand down?” Chaffetz asked.

“They were furious,” Hicks said. “I will quote Lt. Col. Gibson, he said, ‘this is the first time in my career that a diplomat has more balls than somebody in the military.’”

I believe you will believe whatever you want to believe. Facts aside.

Greg Hicks was the top deputy for Chris Stevens. He is on record, under oath, testifying that a Special Forces team was ready to fly (C-130 transport plane) from Tripoli to Benghazi during the attack. He testified that they were told not to board because they didn't have the authority to proceed.

I heard him say it myself. I watched the hearing.

See how easy that was to figure out?

Did you notice the question mark? I asked you a question.

Does them not having authority mean that they were given a stand down order? If so, where did the order come from?

Can we follow the chain of commands and figure it out? Who told Greg Hicks? Who told that person? And so on and so on. Where is the proof that either Obama or Hillary told someone to stand down? Why would they do so? Its one thing to believe that they covered this up to make themselves look good come election time. Why would they just let these people die? What would that gain them? Especially if it blew back on them.

It was apparent to me that the question answered itself. It was like a no-brainer.

All of your questions show that you didn't do the homework yourself. I don't care what news sources say, I will listen to the testimony over a news clip. C-Span is a great tool!

Greg Hicks said that the order came from either AfriCOM or South Africa. And, BTW, it was arms smuggling from Libya to Syria through Turkey. That was the cover-up. Interesting that Rand Paul questioned Hillary and she acted like she didn't know what he was talking about. And more interesting, the media didn't mention the questioning.

So who game them the order? You never answered my question, why would hillary or obama give the order to not help them?
