Benghazi Whistle-Blower Hicks: Stand Down Order Came From AFRICOM or SOCAFRICA (Video)

Mr. Hicks testified this morning that the stand down order for the rescue team in Tripoli came from either AFRICOM or SOCAFRICA. General Ham. leader of AFRICOM, may have been in Washington DC at the time.


So who ordered AFRICOM to stand down?

AFRICOM leader General Carter Ham was never given the order to secure the consulate in Benghazi. This is what the general told Rep. Jason Chaffetz after the 9-11 Benghazi terror attack. That means only Barack Obama or Defense Secretary Panetta, the two men above the AFRICOM commander, never ordered an operation to secure the consulate.

UPDATE: General Ham was replaced after the Benghazi massacre.
