Somebody is telling the truth

Obama said he "ordered the military" to do what they could to assist personnel in Benghazi. General Ham, AFRICOM, said he didn't get that order. Both can not be true. Now I have to decide whether to believe a former "Community Organizer" turned politician or a General (that's four stars) with thirty-six years commissioned service after an enlistment in the 82nd Airborne.
Somebody is lieing and I'm wondering WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?!
There are already internet rumors that General Ham has been or is being relieved because he didn't agree with Leon Panetta.

The road to hell is paved with COMPROMISE.

Should i believe a decorated military leader or a Chicago politician?
Umm, lets asked old Uncle Leon if he got an order from Barry for military action that didn't amount to watch and observe.
Then the GCO says he '"ordered the military" to do what they could to assist personnel in Benghazi...'
Then... Gen Ham (a man of obvious tremendous responsibility) is rumored to be relieved of duty...
Jus'cause he didn't agree with a politician or two...
Gub'ment bureaucracy at it's finest... [;)]
Anyone else hear this?
I heard reports an F-18 was in place to assist, but wasnt asked to.
Anyone else hear this?
Heard it was a drone.
Have you heard about the hurricane apocalypse? [;)]
This could really get confusing if teh subject general was Colin Powell!
I thought it was spelled Colon?

Move along people....nothing to see here.

As a matter of fact I have. I told the wife FOX News said this will be the worst storm to ever hit the United States. She said she doesn't believe a word of it. It's just hype to help Obama. [:D]
I wonder if the reassignment of an Admiral, Commander of the USS Stennis Strike Group is part of this fall out/scapegoat.

I have no way of knowing but I wouldn't be surprised.
I'm not a big believer in conspiracies, especially when I can't see where somebody would profit from it, but it certainly appears to me that somebody is trying to demoralize the State Department and Department of Defense.
It almost appears the Ambassador was set up. He was in a place where he had reason to believe there would be an attack, he knew there had been threats against his life, he had been refused security personnel and lost most of the security he had. The people security was farmed out to were a subgroup of the group who attacked the embassy.
I don't know what happened anymore than anyone else knows, but I do know something stinks to high heaven.

If it started in Chicago under the corrupt Chicago Democratic Machine and floated east to Washington D.C. IT WILL SMELL up the joint and no amount of air freshener will hide the stench.

x10... Agreed...
Why not believe everything he tells you based only on his good word?
Most of you guys believe he got Bin Laden just because he says so. No evidence and dumped the body in the ocean.

A month ago I would have told you, because I trust Senior Flag and General Officers. Several times I have seen them tell the truth when it wasn't in their own best interest to do so.
After watching the retired General kiss * and eat poop tonight on Geraldo Rivera's Show I'm forced to say you have a point, and maybe that would bear checking out too.
