Ed Klein, author of The Amateur, says his sources tell him that Hillary Clinton wanted to increase security in Libya, but Barack Obama denied her requests. He also says it would have been Obama that had to make the “gutsy call” and order rapid reaction forces to save Ambassador Stevens. Supposedly Bill Clinton has been urging his wife to get all this out in the open, to save her reputation, but of course they’d rather wait until after the election. Obama’s Benghazi disaster is unraveling too quickly for these political hacks to keep stalling that long. Men of incredible courage and dedication died in Benghazi on September 11. It’s increasingly clear that they didn’t have to.
◼ BOMBSHELL: US troops in Benghazi would not have been painting targets on the ground unless there was air support overhead.
But someone called it off – And the decision most likely came from the White House. - Jim Hoft/Gateway Pundit

From the retired Delta operator: Having spent a good bit of time nursing a GLD (ground Laser Designator) in several garden spots around the world, something from the report jumped out at me.
One of the former SEALs was actively painting the target. That means that Specter WAS ON STATION! Probably an AC130U. A ground laser designator is not a briefing pointer laser. You do not "paint" a target until the weapons system/designator is synched; which means that the AC130 was on station.
Only two places could have called off the attack at that point; the WH situation command (based on POTUS direction) or AFRICOM commander based on information directly from the target area.
If the AC130 never left Sigonella (as Penetta says) that means that the Predator that was filming the whole thing was armed.
If that SEAL was actively "painting" a target; something was on station to engage! And the decision to stand down goes directly to POTUS!
