Why would the state dept. tell them to stand down? What possible reason could they have for NOT permitting rescue of our own Americans?
Good question Jerry. We do know that, the White House has said from the beginning that there were no forces available to assist Americans in Benghazi on Sept. 11.
I found this little ditty you may be interested in:
AFRICOM Commander GEN Carter Ham relieved of duty for wanting to help our Ambassador to Libya.
October 28, 2012
The information I heard today was that General [Carter] Ham as head of Africom received the same e-mails the White House received requesting help/support as the attack was taking place. General Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the Pentagon that he had a unit ready.
General Ham then received the order to stand down. His response was to screw it, he was going to help anyhow.
Within 30 seconds to a minute after making the move to respond, his second in command apprehended General Ham and told him that he was now relieved of his command.
The story continues that now General Rodiguez would take General Hams place as the head of Africom.
Sure enough Obama nominated Gen. David Rodriguez to replace Gen. Carter Ham as commander of U.S. Africa Command.

Thank you, Wehrwolfen. Incredible to see this administration getting away with this in broad daylight. Just incredible.
