In the aftermath of the document dump covering just a three day slice of time beginning two days after the Benghazi attack, the White House position is that all things Benghazi are now pure partisan politics by evil right wingers.

As I remember news reports at the time, General Ham was told to stand down when he received cries for help from the SEALS. He said something to the effect of screw that, we don't leave our men in the lurch. and started ordering a team to be ready to take off instantly, whereupon he was formally relieved of command by his 2nd in command. That was apparently rescinded once it was over, for Wikipedia notes General Ham's retirement in early 2013.
Curiouser and curiouser. Gen. Dempsey's claim that there was nothing they could do doesn't pass the smell test. There's no doubt at all that they whole thing was political cover before the election.
I concur completely. We need to hear from Gen. Ham.
