The KGB Oracle Forums General Public Discussion (SPECIAL ACCESS) KGB Political Debate Central Father of Navy SEAL killed in Benghazi

There is a persistent rumor going around now, that General Ham (AFRICOM) was going to proceed with a rescue operation in defiance of Panetta, but was immediately relieved of duty and taken into custody by his 2nd in command.

Ham was shortly after the incident "retired" from his post. (This part is not rumor, is verifiable fact)

Noone has been able to verify this for certain yet, but its popped up in quite a few places, in various formats. I think we will hear more about this in future.

I recently read the same thing in the Washington Times "The Robbins Report":

I would like to say this President is a joke, but there's nothing funny about what happened in Benghazi. Obama is accusing Romney of Politicizing Benghazi. When in fact it seems that Obama is politicizing it by trying to ignore it. Fearing that it wouldn't look good for his campaign. A REAL leader doesn't play games like that. If he's willing to let a Ambassador and rep's die, then theirs no telling what else he would do.

If Obama was serious about doing anything possible to keep Americans safe, he should have sent in Special Ops to help when he had the chance. Even if it failed, then he could claim that he would do anything to protect Americans.

Yeah , the lying is pretty shameless... and very sad.

No reason teams should not have been mobilized to evacuate our personnel.

If the Obama admin had just fessed up... and said "we made a bad call", then it would be easy to forgive. People make mistakes.

But they insulted everyones intelligence when they tried to say "it was a YouTube video", and have continued to spin lie after lie trying to whitewash and bury the story.

Kinda reminds me of Fast n Furious, and any number of other scandals great and small.

The latest I heard was that he retired to take care of his ailing wife (which she is) however, the timing is awfully coincidental.

Yeah, Glen Beck, now there is a guy we should listen to.

I could have put up the FOX one but i knew you would cry also.

Actually Jet, Glenn seems to have calmed down quite a bit and uses better sources now that hes on his own network pursuing his own sources as opposed to using whatever info and editorial guidance FOX decided to provide him with.

While I am not a regular watcher, the few episodes I have seen of his show recently have been giving me a pretty strong indication that the problem with Glenn Beck's Fox show was not Beck himself, but more likely the network hosting it.
