did obama order a stand down?
hillary wouldnt have made that call alone. she got her 23 million dollar campaign debt paid the day before she testified(cried and shouted) on bengazi. was it to buy her silence? and what was going on... that was worth allowing americans to die to keep quiet?
im not being rude. calling a president out for being a criminal and undermining the constitution is not partisan. its a civic duty. ... now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the republic....

what form of protection tension are we meant to have at a consulate in a distant places country to reserve to stand down or up? Does Iran have a protection tension presence at their consulates right here? An embassy could have protection tension protection interior of its partitions, its seen area of the abode country, yet a consulates' protection is as much as the host country. you will no longer be able to easily flow bombing a distant places country devoid of understanding who's in charge and the place they're considering this wasn't a central authority backed attack. Ed Klein has a historic previous of coming up issues up that he does not comprehend and in certainty could no longer comprehend. No legal counsel working example could violate his ethics and possibility his license to prepare via revealing exclusive suggestions like that.

No. Obama went to bed. Literally. He went to freakin' bed. He didn't find out what happened until the next morning when his butler brought him his coffee and croissant!
Someone else, maybe his trumped up administrative assistant, Leon Panetta made the call.
Then, when all this went down and the administration was trying to cover its butt, Hillary couldn't be bothered to get out of her jammies and go on national TV and explain to the American people, whom she works for, what the heck happened!
Entitled bunch of elitist prigs!
As to who can give a stand down order, you guys are forgetting something, the Obama administration does not recognize the 'rules'. Where they are concerned, there ARE no rules. The ends have always justified the means. Anyone could have given it.

Imagine if Washington had ordered a "stand-down" at Trenton,
Lincoln ordered one at Gettysburg,
or Roosevelt ordered another at Pearl Harbor?
Yet this charlatan has many convinced he's the reincarnation of all three.
Pimple on the posterior (on a good day), maybe.

The only two people that can give that order are the CIC and the SOS. So it was one of them. My bet is on Hillary. But the question I have is. Where was Obama? If he succeeds in taking none of the blame, then he appears disengaged in the whole thing.

I heard on tv that ONLY the Commander-in-chief can give
an order to "stand down", so that puts at rest who gave the
order, doesn't it? Hillary said she didn't plan to pursue any
more politicians career or run for president, so we'll see,
won't we? I do think she'd like to be the First Female
President.

Only the President can order any "stand down."
The military, by design obviously, can not order themselves to stand down in any case.
Now, the military in some cases may not respond anyway for whatever reasons, BUT they can not
deny support on their own orders.

Worse !
Obama knowingly ALLOWED a " stand down " to be ordered thereby sentencing the Americans to a certain death
I don't know how Obama can sleep at night

Like Flav said, it went higher than Obama, probably George Soros, that's why they have to lie about it.

It seems like a high-up decision to me.
