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.

Cover-up, fake, fraud, coercion, lies, bribes, and BS! Meanwhile they're holding Gen. Ham in the stockade, and pumping him full of "joker" drugs, to shut him up!

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.

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

And a BTW: Communists would shoot an Anarchist as fast as they would a Capitalist....;}

I do. Even though damn near all of them are gone now,they were the only ones I am aware of other than people like the Quakers or Mennonites that just wanted to live their lives in peace and leave everybody else alone.

Ok,so you don't know what anarchy is. Not surprising,given your communist education and conditioning. You are conditioned to hate and fear anyone that doesn't want to become a part of the Borg.

You have to understand... mcToeJam is actually a nerd from Germany, who attempts to write coherently on finance, and thinks his knowledge of finance can be equally applied to everything else in the world...

The problem here, sp, is that sarcasm does do well on the internet and that's what's throwing you above.

You're a Conservative who thinks Hierarchy is your god's will and the white man on top. No sarcasm....;}

What we can fully expect is that as the frequency and intensity of these storms increases, then public sentiment will magically morph from a desire to drive an SUV guilt-free across five states to a weekend soccer tournament, to eventually realizing that something needs to be done. Of course, by then it will be far too late. In other words the current societal bias towards climate denialism has nothing to do with a rigorous scientific insight, it's strictly a propaganda reinforced consensus based once again on the fundamental flawed assumption that reality can be delayed indefinitely.
