On Friday, the Benghazi latest news includes a shocker: CIA operatives say they were told to "stand down" when they asked to assist those in the U.S. Embassy under fire.
U.S. officials didn't just tell the CIA annex workers to stand down once, they told them to stand down twice as American Navy Seals and U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens came under attack.
It's appalling to think that any U.S. official would refuse to allow other Americans, especially those trained for such combat, to assist government and military Americans in danger overseas. And it bears addressing judicially.
Thankfully a former Navy SEAL named Tyrone Woods, along with two others who were at the CIA annex at the time, chose to disobey those ridiculous orders. Unfortunately, without more military fire power to aid them they were not successful in rescuing Stevens, but they did evacuate others at the consulate and retrieved the body of Sean Smith.
Americans willing to risk their lives in service to their country overseas at consulates and embassies around the world shouldn't have to worry that their military brethren will be told to "stand down" if an attack takes place. Yet Fox News reports that this is exactly what happened in Benghazi, with a source telling them such orders came from higher ups twice that night.

I dont think any of them take this country seriously... Its a joke to them, the proof is the laughing hyena Bumblin Biden, the man/child president who would rather traipse around the country campaigning but claims he was grieving with the family over the Americans being slaughtered on HIS watch... He is head honcho or so he says, so how could he of not known that security was denied to them? Why, was 3 requests made for help but none was given? Lasers were set on the mortal being fired ...Obama, wants to be a celeb and now we see why, as the killing movie about Osama will be released right before election day.... He wants to make himself as a GOD, someone to worship... I didnt see Bush bragging or selling a movie to better himself... Bush had class and was a humble man... It all makes perfect sense for anyone who can think for themselves.. It makes sense for those who dont have a vendetta against the USA... Anyone that loved this country would turn around and distance themselves from this bunch of crooks... Obama would rather be playing the Host with the Most, to Bounce, Jayz, going on the View for what about the 10Th time now, and lets not forget Letterman... This man cannot have a working conscience... Maybe, he can bs some of the non thinkers or the uneducated but the rest of us know what he is all about... Its pretty bad when people such as Putin, Castro and Chavez will support for him... Remember, in his second term he will be more flexible as told to an open mic to the Russian...
Those that vote for him , I hope you enjoy living out of the garbage cans, due to lack of GOOD paying jobs, we have to have obamacare but the UNIONS dont have to , the Congress dont have to and Obama dont have to... Havent any of these libs ever thought to themselves, why, this is? We arent equal to them, we are not the elite... He is ALL for the RICH, but tries to cover up his connections, but , he doesnt hide the rich celebs that he chums with... The American need to use that brain instead of burning it out.... Think...
Each day there is more horrid information and yet some still defend this president. As said above, he should be impeached and put in prison.
Good! Good!!! he lays the blame right where it belongs as CIA said THEY never told CIA to stand down - only one person left... Obama, guilty of treason!
