If this is true, Ham better come out and tell what he knows, since his career seems to be over anyway.
"The information I heard today was that General Ham as head of Africom received the same e-mails the White House received requesting help/support as the attack was taking place. General Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the Pentagon that he had a unit ready.
General Ham then received the order to stand down. His response was to screw it, he was going to help anyhow. Within 30 seconds to a minute after making the move to respond, his second in command apprehended General Ham and told him that he was now relieved of his command.
The story continues that now General Rodiguez would take General Ham's place as the head of Africon.
I found this story when I got home after hearing this story. "
quote:Again, this is complete internet gossip. Take it with a grain of salt, but the sad thing is how believable it seems to be. The Obama administration has simply blown it's credibility with a large part of the population.
President Barack Obama will nominate Army Gen. David Rodriguez to succeed Gen. Carter Ham as commander of U.S. Africa Command and Marine Lt. Gen. John Paxton to succeed Gen. Joseph Dunford as assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced Thursday.
On the other hand, however, doesn't this story from Leon Panetta at the Pentagon support this story in a broad sense?
