“Rogue”U.S. General Arrested for Activating Special Forces Teams; Ignoring Libya Stand-Down Order

RELATED UPDATE: Did you know that Obama Fires Top Admiral For Advocating Libyan Rescue? Click here to read more…

The official story surrounding the events of September 11, 2012 in Bengzahi, Libya which left four Americans dead, has now officially fallen apart.

After numerous flips and flops by the Obama administration, which originally attempted to paint the incident as a Muslim outcry over an anti-Islamic video, whistle blowers throughout the U.S. government, including within the White House, the State Department, national intelligence agencies and the U.S.military have made available stunning details that suggest not only did operational commanders have live visual and audio communications from drones overhead and intelligence assets on the ground, but that some commanders within the military were prepared to go-it-alone after being told to “stand down.”

Africom commanding officer U.S. General Carter Ham, after being ordered to essentially surrender control of the situation to alleged Al Queda terrorists and let Americans on the ground die, made the unilateral decision to ignore orders from the Secretary of Defense and activated special operations teams at his disposal for immediate deployment to the area.
According to reports, once the General went rogue he was arrested within minutes by his second in command and relieved of duty.

“(The) basic principle is that you don’t deploy forces into harm’s way without knowing what’s going on; without having some real-time information about what’s taking place,” Panetta told Pentagon reporters. “And as a result of not having that kind of information, the commander who was on the ground in that area, Gen. Ham, Gen. Dempsey and I felt very strongly that we could not put forces at risk in that situation.”
The information I heard today was that General Ham as head of Africom received the same e-mails the White House received requesting help/support as the attack was taking place. General Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the Pentagon that he had a unit ready.
General Ham then received the order to stand down. His response was to screw it, he was going to help anyhow. Within 30 seconds to a minute after making the move to respond, his second in command apprehended General Ham and told him that he was now relieved of his command.

The question now is whether the American people will hold to account the chain of command responsible for leaving our people behind, fabricating a politically expedient story, and continuing to sell the now defunct lie(s) even after all of their variations of the story were found to be false and misleading.
A General who made the decision to assist diplomatic and intelligence assets on the ground has been arrested and will likely be retired or worse, while those who ordered the removal of embassy security details and ordered U.S. forces to stand-down are left to go on about their business and likely risk more American lives in the future.
In some circles the actions of those at the very top of the command structure during the Bengzahi attacks would be considered traitorous.

WASHINGTON -- The Navy said Saturday it is replacing the admiral in command of an aircraft carrier strike group in the Middle East, pending the outcome of an internal investigation into undisclosed allegations of inappropriate judgment.

Rear Adm. Charles M. Gaouette is being sent back to the USS John C. Stennis' home port at Bremerton, Wash., in what the Navy called a temporary reassignment. The Navy said he is not formally relieved of his command of the Stennis strike group but will be replaced by Rear Adm. Troy M. Shoemaker, who will assume command until the investigation is completed.

It is highly unusual for the Navy to replace a carrier strike group commander during its deployment.

The Navy did not reveal details of the allegations, citing only an accusation of "inappropriate leadership judgment" that arose during the strike group's deployment to the Middle East. Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Navy's chief spokesman, declined to discuss the investigation.

The Stennis group deployed from Bremerton in late August and had entered the Navy 5th Fleet's area of operations in the Middle East on Oct. 17 after sailing across the Pacific. The Stennis made port visits in Thailand and Malaysia on its way to the Middle East.

It deployed four months earlier than scheduled in response to a request by the commander of U.S. Central Command, Marine Gen. James Mattis, to maintain two aircraft carriers in the Middle East. The Stennis replaced the USS Enterprise carrier group.

One Man Tried to Save Benhgazi Lives and was relieved of Duty within 30 seconds... Gen Carter Ham - Africom

General Ham as head of Africom received the same e-mails the White House received requesting help/support as the attack was taking place. General Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the Pentagon that he had a unit ready.

General Ham then received the order... to stand down. His response was to screw it, he was going to help anyhow.

Within 30 seconds to a minute after making the move to respond, his second in command apprehended General Ham and told him that he was now relieved of his command.

The story continues that now General Rodiguez would take General Ham’s place as the head of Africon.

That is true to some extent. Stripes confirmed that General Ham will be replaced by General Rodiguez but no explanation was given:

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will nominate Army Gen. David Rodriguez to succeed Gen. Carter Ham as commander of U.S. Africa Command and Marine Lt. Gen. John Paxton to succeed Gen. Joseph Dunford as assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced Thursday.

Both appointments must be confirmed by the Senate.

Rodriguez is the commander of U.S. Army Forces Command and has served in a “variety of key leadership roles on the battlefield,” Panetta said.

He’s “a proven leader” who oversaw coalition and Afghan forces during the surge in Afghanistan, and “was the key architect of the successful campaign plan that we are now implementing,” Panetta said.

HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE!!! NO PRESIDENT, NO MATTER WHO HE IS, WHAT HIS POLICIES ARE, OR WHAT PARTY HE BELONGS TO SHOULD EVER BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS!!!!

These high-ranking General Officers being jerked out of rank and position in a blink of an eye and even arrested are unprecedented in U.S. Military History.

If proven true, Obama has the distinction of being the first CINC to completely break trust with U.S. Military Forces, another first in history.

The worst thing. How did they watch the attack? Reaper Drone. Reaper Drone payload capabilities:

7 hard points

Up to 1,500 lb (680 kg) on the two inboard weapons stations
Up to 750 lb (340 kg) on the two middle stations

Up to 150 lb (68 kg) on the outboard stations

Center station not used

Up to 14 AGM-114 Hellfire air to ground missiles can be carried or four Hellfire missiles and two 500 lb (230 kg) GBU-12 Paveway II laser-guided bombs. The 500 lb (230 kg) GBU-38 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) can also be carried.

I think they could have lent a helping hand. Just to be accurate, the C-130 gun ship is the AC-130? They would have likely employed this one.

AC-130W Stinger II
1x 30 mm Bushmaster II cannon
10x Griffin missiles
8x GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs

Food for thought on just letting Americans die. They didn't just get caught with our pants down, They turned a blind eye.

WAKE UP AMERICA!

Those young Americans in the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya could have been one of our daughters or sons. Obama and Hillary knew what was going on! They heard them begging for help. They watched this attack unfold on live video feed from the compound. And not one QRF Team, not one Marine or helicopter or any type of help was sent.

I know that those Navy Seals, bodies mortally wounded, weapons covered in their own blood, KNEW in their hearts that help was on the way. That is what America does. Leave no one behind! But Obama sent nothing. He went to bed so he could get his beauty rest for his guest appearance on some talk show.

It boggles the mind that Obama is still running for president of this country!!! It breaks my heart that there are people who are willing to turn a blind eye to his actions or rather inaction.

Just remember people, it could have been your son or your daughter waiting in that Safe room for help. It could have been you waiting for them to bring your child’s body home, so mutilated that they wouldn’t even let you open the casket!

So, search your heart deep, ask yourself, do his actions make you proud to be an American? Is this the man you trust to hold the fate of the United States in his hands? Is this the man you are willing to give another four years to complete his “fundamental change” of our country? I pray God will open your eyes to the truth of his lies, his cover ups, his despicable actions.

I pray, God’s choicest blessing on our Brave and Valiant Warriors who stand at the gates of hell and fight for this country. I pray God grant their loved ones peace in their absence. May God bless our beloved country.

The Whistleblowers TESTIFIED! The TRUTH IS BEING TOLD watch, read and learn for yourself!!! Become informed on what is REALLY going on!
