DaTechGuy is a friend of mine. He blogs at DaTechGuy.com<\/a>. He also has a radio show that I have guest hosted and been a guest on. He does his homework, does his research, and has good connections within the new media. He posted a story today written by a friend of his. The story is wild, but feasible. I submit it for your consideration.<\/p>\n

The source story appeared in the Conservative Report Online<\/a>, and was written by Chip Jones. DaTechGuy<\/a> picked up the story and added his comments.<\/p>\n

Some highlights from the story at the Conservative Report Online:<\/p>\n

First, it is reported that an Army Special Forces<\/a> team was present with an AC-130U Spooky<\/a> (also known as a Spectre Gunship) on the tarmac at the airport in Tripoli, Libya<\/a>. The Spooky is a technologically sophisticated, tactical aircraft, operated by the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It operates under the overall Special Operations Command stationed at MacDill Air Force Base<\/a> in Tampa<\/a>, which is reportedly in charge of all military special operations units, including: Army Special Forces, Navy SEALS<\/a>, Rangers and certain Marine units, as well as the USAF<\/a> AC-130Us, and \u201cstealth Blackhawks,\u201d used in the Bin Laden raid.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The second, and most troubling aspect of the refusal to issue Cross Border Authority is,\u00a0who issued the refusal.<\/em>\u00a0Rather than the President, the Commander In Chief, making critical decisions<\/a>, granting or denying the authority to initiate offensive-actions in support of our valiant fighting men,\u00a0the decision not to take action<\/em>\u00a0was made by a person, to whom the people did not elect, nor did the Congress have confirmation power over.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The military-order, not to initiate action, saving our men in Benghazi, was issued by the President’s Advisor, Valerie Jarrett<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

DaTechGuy sent me an email today that included the above story. These were his closing comments on the email:<\/p>\n

I know the author of this article personally and I hope to speak to him later today but I want to note one final thing.<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
Five years in fact even three years ago if someone was saying something like this I\u2019d have dismissed it out of hand.<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
Not anymore<\/strong><\/div>\n

I have no idea what to think about this story. Does it matter that Valerie Jarrett refused to issue the Cross Border Authority? Would President Obama<\/a> have done the same thing if he were there? Was she representing the wishes of the President? And finally, how many Americans will be troubled by this news? Does this trouble you?<\/p>\n
