A prior thread loudly stated "Another RW Lie about Benghazi is Exposed".......it was a LIE that the rescue team was told to "STAND DOWN"!!!
RIGHT... And that is TRUE....
So if they were NOT told to "STAND DOWN", then why wasn't there a rescue attempt?
They were told not to board the flight, so they missed it," Hicks said. Pressed on why, he said, "I guess they just didn't have the right authority from the right level."
Earlier this month, Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Congress there was never a stand-down order.
They weren't told to stand down. A 'stand down' means don't do anything," he said.
"They were told that the mission they were asked to perform was not in Benghazi, but was at Tripoli airport."

OK... So they weren't told to "STAND DOWN" but were told their mission was not in Benghazi where Americans were being killed but was in Tripoli?? By who's authority?
REALLY???? They were NOT to do anything about Benghazi for what reason???
Sounds like there is still a question WHY would this rescue team be told their mission was not in Benghazi when the people in Benghazi were BEGGING FOR HELP???
Who told the rescue team their mission was NOT IN BENGHAZI???
Why were the rescue teams told their mission was in Tripoli??
