LF: Pentagon Denies Claims General Was Fired Over Benghazi Attacks

On Monday, U.S. military officials denied claims from a Washington Times blog that Gen. Carter Ham, former head of U.S. Africa command, may have been fired due to an intent to disobey defense secretary Leon Panetta's order to "stand down" while the Sept. 11 attacks in Benghazi were underway.

This story is gathering steam as Charlie Woods, father of slain Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, went on the Glenn Beck show this past weekend to claim that President Barack Obama had shown no remorse for his son's death during their meeting. (YouTube Video)

Over the weekend, a source inside the Pentagon informed Times reporter James Robbins that Gen. Ham wanted to send special forces units to help Americans under siege in Libya despite orders from Sec. Panetta to stand down. Ham was supposedly relieved of his command by a junior officer just before Ham was to order the rescue mission.

All adds to the impression of a cover-up. In the voting booth, it's not what happened that matters, it's what the sheeple think happened that counts.

Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.

I can't make the lying Kenyan talk and he's the CIC, so the others can't. Only Bibi can order Obama to quit lying, and he ain't about to.

I don't know where you got that from,but they are lying. General Officers are not treated that way,and if one were you can bet your bippy it would be prime time news because the other Generals wouldn't stand for it.

Just because these people take a oath to remain subservient to the political leadership doesn't mean they will or should take that kind of abuse.

At MOST he would be relieved of his command and put on immediate administrative leave until his retirement papers could be processed.

How long do you think it'll take for that bridge behind you to burn.....;} # . Bloomberg Turns Down Offer of FEMA Assistance for NYC # Daily Kos :: Recent steve-everett.dailykos.com/section/Diary/67 5 days ago – This has the potential to a historic storm for the northeast. ... www.storm2k.org/. .... to Bloomberg News Planned Parenthood in Texas has been denied a .... Bloomberg Turns Down Offer of FEMA Assistance for NYC ...

Seriously. He really did this with a hurricane barreling towards the Northeast that forecasts now indicate will produce 10-20 ft. waves in New York City on top of the higher water we can already expect. President Obama directed FEMA Director Craig Fugate to call Mayor Bloomberg earlier in the day to offer assistance. Governor Cuomo had asked for FEMA aid. Bloomberg said thanks, but no thanks. He said we had what we needed.

The Weather Channel said part of the problem was the tides pushed by the winds were not able to recede, then the next tide (still pushed by the wind) just piled on more water.

Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET

Irene was the worst thing that could have happened to that city because now this storm is being downplayed in every way, expecting it to turn out like Irene.

What FEMA really can do is to help those parts of the country that don’t have all of the extensive facilities and agencies and practice that New York City does. But I did want to thank them for their offer. "

sorry if it seems like pure politics the way i quoted it: was more focusing on prep attitudes in NYC. Hope they all are ok.

Sandy tapped/is tapping (Ohio is still losing electric customers Lakeside) directly into the polar Jet Stream.

LOL. So some 'forum writer' says it so it must be true. The hole you are digging keeps getting deeper.

Mantoloking, NJ Fire Reignites In Jersey Shore Town (VIDEO) Huffington Post‎ - 1 hour ago

MANTOLOKING, N.J. -- Fires that destroyed about 14 homes in a New Jersey shore ... at the University of Iowa, told National Geographic News.

You need to slow down so the guys with the butterfly nets can catch and medicate you again.

He doesn't want to give up the power and most especially doesn't want to give up his power to people he considers to be less competent than him.

I posted on this event some 30 minutes ago as I know how to post an article not just nonsensical drivel within a forum...

Mantoloking Fire: New Jersey Shore Town Hit Hard By Hurricane Sandy On Fire, Flames Reaching Sky

NYC Mayor's Office ‏@NYCMayorsOffice Mayor: We are not ordering any evacuations as of this time, in any part of the city.

NYC Mayor's Office ‏@NYCMayorsOffice Mayor: Although we’re expecting a large surge of water, it will be a slower pile-up and not a sudden wall of water.

NYC Mayor's Office ‏@NYCMayorsOffice Mayor: Even though we are not ordering evacuations, conditions will be dangerous during the storm. The safest thing to do is stay inside.

NYC Mayor's Office ‏@NYCMayorsOffice Mayor: We haven’t made a decision yet as to whether schools will be open on Monday. We will make that decision and announce it tomorrow.

NYC Mayor's Office ‏@NYCMayorsOffice Mayor: Because of the hazards posed by high winds, all City parks will be closed after 5 PM tomorrow.

Wow...just unbelievable! Not evacuating, and commenting it is a "slow pile up" and not a tsunami type surge? 10 feet, is 10 feet...regardless of how fast it comes in!

One obvious example is hippies have no interest in obtaining total control over anything,much less everything.

Sure. You seem to think that lack of the Bill of Rights only applies to the LumpenProletariat....;}

“Oh, I see—this is just going to be how it is from here on out,” said New York City resident Brian Marcello, coming to terms with the fact that an immense storm that cripples mass transit systems and knocks out power for millions in the nation’s largest metropolitan area can no longer be regarded as an isolated, freak incident, and will henceforth be just a normal thing that happens. “Hugely destructive weather events are going to keep happening, and they are going to get worse and worse, and living through them is something that will be a part of all our lives from now on, whether we like it or not.” :roll:

The president kept staring at the screen and said nothing. Bridgeport came around to see for himself. A TV newscast showed Admiral Waite in uniform in one of the Capitol briefing rooms. ADMIRAL: GURNEY PLANS MILITARY COUP was splashed across the bottom of the picture. “—a terrible idea,” Waite was saying, his face bland. The words at the bottom of the picture shifted: RESIGNS AS CHAIRMAN OF JOINT CHIEFS. “But if this is how the American people decide they’re going to exercise their constitutional rights, the military’s job is to salute and say, ‘Yes, sir; yes, ma’am.’”

“Lon,” Bridgeport said quietly, “did you?” He had been told nothing of the military planning, but the president looked at him, and Bridgeport could read the answer in his face. “You’d better pack your bags,” he told Gurney then; his smile was gone, and his voice was suddenly that of the experienced politician explaining realities to a clueless junior. “They’re going to have your guts on toast.”

Not really. They can only request it be shut down when the president is flying in or out. The Office of Reich Security remains in control now that the FAA comes under their massive skirts.
