The military does not leave it's own to die only civilians in the chain of command do that, the attack didn't fit the story that was being pushed for chairman 0's election so they left them to die. I guess more "bumps in the road" I know "it's not optimal" but his re-election campaign must go on regardless of body count.

top military leaders relieved of their command, namely general ham & admiral gaouette. from what i have gleaned from the press is that their reliefs were due to the events & consequent actions at benghazi. it seems the military has a different attitude when it comes to protecting our interests & citizens abroad! it reminds me of mcarthuer & truman only this is more subtle! i wonder is the military starting to rebel against the curent administration & their political decisions?

Wouldn't that be a hoot? Don't forget, the 2 CIA ex-SEALS who disregarded orders to stand down.

At one of my very first breakfasts, while Berger and Cohen were engaged in a sidebar discussion down at one end of the table and Tenet and Richardson were preoccupied in another, one of the Cabinet members present leaned over to me and said, “Hugh, I know I shouldn’t even be asking you this, but what we really need in order to go in and take out Saddam is a precipitous event — something that would make us look good in the eyes of the world. Could you have one of our U-2s fly low enough — and slow enough — so as to guarantee that Saddam could shoot it down?”
The hair on the back of my neck bristled, my teeth clenched, and my fists tightened. I was so mad I was about to explode. I looked across the table, thinking about the pilot in the U-2 and responded, “Of course we can ...” which prompted a big smile on the official’s face.
“You can?” was the excited reply.
“Why, of course we can,” I countered. “Just as soon as we get your ass qualified to fly it, I will have it flown just as low and slow as you want to go.”
The official reeled back and immediately the smile disappeared. “I knew I should not have asked that...”
“No, you should not have,” I strongly agreed, still shocked at the disrespect and sheer audacity of the question. “Remember, there is one of our great Americans flying that U-2, and you are asking me to intentionally send him or her to their death for an opportunity to kick Saddam. The last time I checked, we don’t operate like that here in America.” http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id...-airman
-------------- And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Somebody high up in the administration told them to stand down or do nothing from what I have seen in some of my travels on the net nothing hard yet but it will come somebody IS going down for this it's a matter of time there will be a whistleblower.

The information I heard today was that General 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.
