Congresswoman: Obama Gave Benghazi Stand Down Order

In comments that went largely unnoticed, Missouri Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R) directly blamed President Obama for ordering the stand down which facilitated the assault on the US consulate in Benghazi.
Wagner was asked by talk show host Dana Loesch, “Because
you have been an ambassador, you have been overseas with similar
responsibilities and similar missions – who gives such an order to stand
down? Where does that come from?”
“The President of the United States,” responded Wagner.
The White House has been scrambling to avoid the question of
who gave the stand down order ever since whistleblower Greg Hicks, who
was number two to Ambassador Chris Stevens, testified that US special
forces were ready to board a plane in Tripoli but were prevented from
coming to the aid of those under assault inside the consulate.
Hicks revealed that after Stevens had been killed but
while the attack was still ongoing, “The Libyan military agreed to fly
their C-130 to Benghazi and carry additional personnel to Benghazi as
reinforcements,” including US Special Forces, but that a call came
through from Special Operations Command Africa saying, “you can’t go
now; you don’t have authority to go now.”
“They were told not to board the flight, so they missed it.” Hicks said.
In the hours after the stand down order was given, three
more American diplomats were killed by terrorists who laid siege to the
consulate.
The Obama administration denies that any kind of stand
down order was given, a claim that rings hollow given the White House’s
attempt to cover up the nature of what happened in the days after the
attack, claiming instead that it was a “protest” sparked by a YouTube
video.
It was also recently revealed that the State Department hired Al-Qaeda-linked militants to
“defend” the diplomatic mission in Benghazi that was later attacked.
State Department officials who blocked efforts to help Americans under
assault later tried to hide Al-Qaeda’s involvement in the attack.
As we have exhaustively documented, the Obama administration’s support for Al-Qaeda-linked militants in Libya,
which led to the toppling of Colonel Gaddafi, directly contributed to
the attack on the consulate and the death of Ambassador Stevens. The
very hospital that Stevens was taken to in the last moments of his life was run by the same terrorists who attacked the consulate and who had been empowered as a result of the White House’s military intervention in Libya.
Despite some predicting that the Benghazi cover-up could lead to the impeachment of Barack Obama,
an almost identical situation is now unfolding in Syria as a result of
the White House’s support for Al-Qaeda terrorists in the pursuit of
regime change.
Despite the fact that militants in Syria have openly espoused their hatred for the United States - burning American flags in public while praising Osama Bin Laden and glorifying the 9/11 attacks - the Obama administration is preparing to send them heavy weaponry.
A growing body of evidence also suggests that
the entire purpose of the consulate in Benghazi and Ambassador Stevens’
role there was to oversee clandestine arms shipments to Syrian rebels.
