BOMBSHELL REPORT: Valerie Jarrett Gave the Orders on 9/11/2012 and Blocked Rescue in

Re: BOMBSHELL REPORT: Valerie Jarrett Gave the Orders on 9/11/2012 and Blocked Rescue

I heard that conservatives had intelligence. Seen no evidence of it being true though.

:rofl -- This is so​ not like you. Hahaha!!

Intelligence is required to see it.
 
Re: BOMBSHELL REPORT: Valerie Jarrett Gave the Orders on 9/11/2012 and Blocked Rescue

Wow, if this is true then it is truly a bombshell!

In this particular instance there is only one person that had the authority to issue a stand down and that is the Commander and Chief.
Panetta didn't have the authority. Neither did Valerie Jarrett And that is what I find troubling. I believe through sworn testimony that Panetta met with Obama at the White House and briefed him on the situation. And it was stated that Valerie Jarrett went to see the "Commander and Chief" at his home quarters later on that evening and then went to the situation room (at the White House where Panetta (Secretary of Defense) was monitoring the situation. Panetta is not an idiot and knows protocol quite well, the man has been in Washington for a very long time and there is no way he could have issued a stand down order without having solid data that it was being given directly from the Commander and Chief Obama. Either Jarrett took it on herself to issue the stand down order while lying it came from Obama or she indeed had the authority from Obama to issue such an order. My gut tells me Panetta was quite content with whomever gave him the go ahead to execute the order. Just a thought.

I can be sarcastic and snarky. Honest.
 
Re: BOMBSHELL REPORT: Valerie Jarrett Gave the Orders on 9/11/2012 and Blocked Rescue

I can't find one credible source for this -- all kinds of them, but nothing credible. Got one?
I can't either. Earliest I've found is 11-7-2012 at Free Republic, but there's no attribution.
 
Re: BOMBSHELL REPORT: Valerie Jarrett Gave the Orders on 9/11/2012 and Blocked Rescue

Intelligence is required to see it.

Well, I consider intelligence to be actually going to the source provided in the OP, see that it is a little blog that sources another little blog that sources people telling that little blog, but they are anonymous. What that means is that it is an unverified story with no evidence to back it up. That puts it into the realm of conspiracy theory, something that conservatives have proven to be more open to believing. Just accepting things as true because dammit, it is what you want to be true, that is not what I would call evidence of intelligence.

This is a job for the Mickelsons (Snopes). Just looked; didn't find.
 
Re: BOMBSHELL REPORT: Valerie Jarrett Gave the Orders on 9/11/2012 and Blocked Rescue


Duhhh!

A). The US military have used jet fly bys in the past which have been effective in dispersing combatants with out a shot fired. Not even tried,

Q. Does the article say anything about jets doing fly bys?

A. No, not a thing.

Q. How did soot preface his comments?

A.
That article is all ate up.

Rather than falling all over yourself to scream "FAIL" and making yourself look like a jackass how about you read what's written, mmmkay?

B) 12 soldiers could have done more then you speculate considering the fight given to the terrorist by less than 12 DSS agents and CIA operators on the ground. I believe our people had 8-10 combatants in the fight! 12 would have been a god send.

Since my knowledge of and experience with small unit tactics seems to pale in comparrison to yours please explain to me how 12 additional men at a fixed location would have bettered the odds of the group against indirect mortar fire.

Maybe there'd be 12 more guys to help hold the roof up with broomsticks?

Absent the mortars, which are what killed Woods and Doherty (and injured Ubben) the element on the ground at the time of the attack was sufficent to hold off the attackers (taking pot shots) and evacuate the Americans at the annex, which is exactly what they did as soon as there was a lul in the fighting following the mortar attack and upon being advised that a Predator was taking video of a "large group" of insurgents massing for an attack.

So again, other than there being more guns on the roof at the time of the mortar attack, and consequently more deaths, what would 12 more men have added?

And if the group at the annex had been pinned in place by indirect fire how would 12 more men in a quickly deteriorating defensive position have signifigantly added to the initial group's ability to hold off an estimated 100 or so insurgents attacking behind indirect fire and crew serveed weapons?

Simple fact of the matter is, they wouldn't have been able to.

You're welcome to maintain your TEAM AMERICA!!! fantasy if you'd like. I couldn't care less. But if you'd like to convince me that you're right you'll have to bring more than, "Well they coulda too!"

OMG!!!!! Another scandal!!! No way Obama survives this one (again)!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Start looking.

I did. There is no evidence to back up the claims in the OP.

why let something like evidence get in the way of a really exotic wannbe Obama scandal
 
Re: BOMBSHELL REPORT: Valerie Jarrett Gave the Orders on 9/11/2012 and Blocked Rescue

We all know this whole thread is false. The interesting thing is the pathology of the conservative mind in posting this stuff and hoping that somebody will believe it or at least that it will taint legitimate political discourse and poison the well for the next election.

The way the rightwing noise machine works is that it floats these ridiculous memes (sometimes started from rightwing think tanks, sometimes from idiotic rightwing websites like Breitbart), then it's picked up by the rightwing blogosphere, sent around in those silly email rings, and it enough chatter is created then the lazy mainstream media will pick it as a questions, which is easily rebutted by facts, but that's not the point. The point is to get the narrative out there.

It would be funny if it weren't so insidious. I hope progressives catch on and start doing the same thing. The nice thing about smearing conservatives and tea partiers is that generally, the weird stuff you can say about them is completely true!
 
Re: BOMBSHELL REPORT: Valerie Jarrett Gave the Orders on 9/11/2012 and Blocked Rescue

Oh I don't know I worked the State Dept security before DSS was formed - you? I'm sick and tired of forum experts that claim to know all. When we worked in a hostile environment, and this was after Iran, we were told we needed to hold on for a certain time frame. Maybe that rule has changed, if so its sad. I'd like to know who changed it, but more importanly who ignored it because DSS did that at the State Dept facility they merely lost control of the one building the ambassador was in. They mainained the rest of the facility.

Was it you that said "urban" setting - really - didn't bother to look at the "urban" nature of the US Facility did you? Maybe you ought to google it before you type of which you clearly don't know. Such failure.


Duhhh!

It was a CIA operation in Benghazi. They usually don't give a lot of information about secret CIA gun running operations.

It was a State Dept Operation before it became a CIA Operation. That was per Hillary's Testimony too. Which she stated it was to go after Gadhafi's Weapons after his ouster.

You keep deflecting dude.

I asked you a pretty pointed question, and being a "real world expert" I'd expect you'd offer a response rather than a resume.

WTF would 12 more guys have done in the face of indirect fire?

What more would they have added when a force of dozens, if not hundreds, of insurgents were swarming the place behind more indirect and crew served weapons fire?

I don't care what you "were told" back in 1985.

I'm asking about this specific incident.


I was an Infantryman.

And in this situation I would have been retrograding, as the folks involved were able to do, or bending over to kiss my ass goodbye.

The questions they are not allowed to answer are about what happened 9-11 at Benghazi not about the gun running operation, that is just a smoke screen for you libs to hide behind.
 
Re: BOMBSHELL REPORT: Valerie Jarrett Gave the Orders on 9/11/2012 and Blocked Rescue

Since when did being mainstream become a insult? There is fringe media, and mainstream media. Which of the two is Prefered.

So called mainstream media has made itself a joke that is why it's an insult to be labeled as that.

normally if one calls you out of the mainstream media, it means you either have not made a name for yourself in newsmedia, or you have made a name for yourself in a bad way: fringe media.

what other kind of media is left if you throw out all the defined "mainstream media"?

Thank you for the liberal definition and spin of mainstream media, hilarious.

the only way for the label of "mainstream media" to make any sense if you include fox news in the same catagory as CNN, NBC, ABC, and other major news broadcasters. and then there is newspaper media and electronic media, which is adding another layer to the media.

Valerie has Obama's neuticles in her handbag, so I'd believe it possible.
Absolutely right.
