#1 Meanwhile, Panetta counter-manded General Ham’s order, and returned C-110 to the authority of EUCOM.

It went a bit further than a counter-manded order. General Hamm assumed command of AFRICOM in March of 2011. Benghazi happened on September 11, 2012. Obama appointed General David M. Rodriguez to replace Hamm on October 18th, 2012. Hamm was reportedly notified of his relief by his second in command.

A rather abbreviated command tenure and somewhat peculiar notification I'd say.

#2 Not to mention the short-notice relief of at least one other commander (with the second in command taking charge.)

#3 So, it is as we thought, the big lie was never true. Panetta and others in the administration said there were no forces that could respond in time to prevent this clusterfVck that cost 4 good people their lives.

In another time, this would be enough to impeach Obama and dump Hillary out of the presidential candidate.
