Did you know that there was ground breaking testimony today concerning Benghazi? That’s OK – neither did the rest of the public. This was intentional. The question is “why”? Today saw the first real crack in the armor of the White House concerning the Benghazi execution of Ambassador Chris Stevens. After months of cover-up and tactically released whistleblower revelations, the White House has finally been forced to face the single most damning piece of evidence of their complicity in the murder of four Americans in Benghazi – including the ordered execution of our ambassador; The order to stand down that was issued to the Army Special Forces unit stationed in Tripoli. The Special Forces Unit was the operation that was tasked with the fulfillment of the standing interdiction and emergency response orders for the mission in Libya. The first priority of these standing orders is the rescue of the ambassador followed by the rescue of all mission personnel. This becomes a critical part of the story in that standing orders had already been authorized and issued by the National Command Authority. The Special Forces Unit would not require additional approval to conduct rescue operations. They would – however – require specific orders issued from a higher recognized authority to countermand any standing rescue orders. There is only one authority that can supersede the rescue orders of a diplomat of Consular rank.
