VIA GLENN REYNOLDS:
AS THE RETIRED MILITARY MAN WHO CALLED INTO RUSH EARLIER IN THE WEEK RELATED, AFRICOM HAS RESPONSIBILITY FOR LIBYA - AND, (AS ALL REGIONAL COMMANDS HAVE), HAD A RAPID RESPONSE FORCE READY TO INSERT INTO BENGHAZI.
NOW COMES NEWS THAT ON THE 18TH OF OCTOBER, OBAMA OFFICIALLY RELIEVED THE AFRICOM COMMANDER WHO WAS IN COMMAND ON 9/11/12 - GENERAL HAM, AND REPLACED HIM WITH GENERAL RODRIGUEZ.
THE RUMOR IS THAT WHEN GENERAL HAM RECEIVED THE ORDER FROM WASHINGTON TO STAND DOWN, HE DISOBEYED THE ORDER AND COMMANDED HIS FORCE TO TAKE ACTION TO SAVE THE AMBASSADOR.
AND THEN HIS SECOND IN COMMAND COUNTERMANDED HAM'S ORDER, OBEYED WASHINGTON AND MADE THE FORCE STAND DOWN.
IF THIS IS TRUE, THEN IT LEADS DIRECTLY TO PANETTA AND DEMPSEY AND THE WHITE HOUSE.
STAY TUNED.
this is beginning to look like a political assassination of Stevens, coordinated by the WH itself, to keep quiet the political bombshell that Stevens was there to negotiate a transfer of US arms to Al Qaeda. Whatever was discussed between Stevens and Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akin may have been directly led to the decision to murder our own Ambassador.
ReplyDeleteOR THE ATTACK UNDERMINED THE OBAMA NARRATIVE THE HE DEFEATED AL QAEDA AND THE LACK OF ANY RESPONSE ACCORDS ITSELF WITH OBAMA'S APPEASEMENT POLICY.
