    You'd be surprised how many young dems there are in the military. The wifey and I argue with them every other day. Some of them are my friends, others are just coworkers. I will not be voting for him, that's for sure.

    Obama would have been within his powers to remove a commander for disobeying orders - although its not clear to me that AFRICOM was removed for that. Still up in the air.

    But Obama claims he didn't order any one not to respond.

    If Obama did order no response, or ordered that no one answer the calls up the chain for air support, then he should be impeached.

    Agreed.

    I heard an interesting theory: Stevens could have been a pawn in a "swap" for the "Blind Sheik". It is pretty well thought that there have been negotiations for him for a while.
    Arrainge a group of muzzies to "attack" the consulate, Stevens gets kidnapped, O negotiates a swap for him for the BS and O is a foreign affairs genius and American hero.
    October surprise.
    But they didn't anticipate two former SEALs and a contractor stepping into the mix and sending things afoul.
    They watched it unfold and did nothing. Ham and Gouett(sp) probably knew what was going on and had assets ready to go but they either got no orders or were ordered to stand down as well. Probably doesn't set too well with them.
    Blaming the youtube clip was a diversion tactic meant to pacify the unthinking masses. It has been confirmed apparently that prior to 9/11 it had only 17 views, and that it had been posted in June. 17 hits in 3 months?
    Also the idea that they picked the most ridiculous thing they could, that way it would divert attention from some of the more legitimate radical films.
    Now it is really unraveling on them.
    Interesting thought.
    Something definitely stinks.

    If heaven forbid O gets a second, I would think it could get really messy for him with the continued birth certificate question, his former and current associations, F&F, Benghazi etc, etc..
    It is in his best interest to be beaten.

    Not that it matters but, yes...14 years in the AF.

    Now to your direct question about Obama's authority to remove a disobedient commander: Yes. There's no question he has that authority.

    But the real question is were those commanders removed for good cause or were they removed to protect Obama from the decisions he made re: the incident in Benghazi? I submit it was the later.

    Here are some more exciting news stories from your source:
    Nice attempt at deflection with your straw man argument. I don't recall referencing any of those other articles you posted. Rather than attack the sources I chose to use (especially with snippets from articles that have absolutely nothing to do with the discussion) why don't you try to dispute the merits of the information given by those sources?

    And to your point that I used a "bare minimum" of anecdotes, there's plenty of other information from various sources out there if you're of a mind to look. So how many should I have posted? 5? 15? 25? What's the appropriate number to effectively illustrate a point?

    I guess I could've looked for something from a "credible" news source like the NYT ()...but that's part of the problem now, isn't it? The mainstream sources are protecting Obama.

    PROTECTING??????????
    The MSM has made this Fact disappear better than Jimmy Hoffa.
    %^&* How he gets away with this shit is beyond unbelievable. He gets re-elected and i doubt there will be enough lube for Americas anal raping by him, soros and that religion of peace.


    Monky, your thoughts??

    I have been stocking up on lube since 08 and I still don't think I have enough! I have paying so much damn money in taxes that my lube budget has diminished to a mere tube per pay check!

    As this story continues to unravel, what is amazing is the facts are being uncovered by Jennifer Griffin and Catherin Herridge of Fox News. This is investigative journalism at its finest, and something we rarely see these days. What passes for journalism these days is a joke, by and large.

    The latest yesterday was a letter from Ambassador Stevens to Hillary Clinton on 8/16 detailing the identified terrorist elements in Benghazi, stating the consulate could not withstand a coordinated attack, and requesting additional security to protect the consulate. Lots of questions should also be directed to the Sec of State.

    The Dems have a lot to lose here. Not only blowback on Beeho as commander in chief, but also Clinton, who many dems are trying to position for a 2016 run at the white house. If investigation turns up she specifically denied security to the consulate, that could be potentially devastating to 2016.
