Could it be that the stand down orders to the US North Africa Commend to head to Benghazi Compound to try and defend Chris Stevens and the other 3 Americans came from the Presidents adviser?
Interesting article, to say the least, from Conservative Report.
Confidential sources close to
Conservative Report have confirmed that Valerie Jarrett was the key
decision-maker for the administration, the night of the Benghazi terrorist attack on 9/11/2012.
The chronology of the evening of 9/11 are as follows.
At approximately 5 PM Washington time,
reports came in through secure-channels that Special Mission Benghazi
was under attack. Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta and Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey summoned the
President,and briefed him on the crisis, face to face.
Subsequent to that brief meeting, President Obama proceeded to the White House to dine in his living quarters.
After supper, Barack Obama had a
telephone conference scheduled with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu. Senior Advisor to the President, Valerie Jarrett was present
for that conference, which was held due to problems the President was
having with the perception of him snubbing Netanyahu in previous, formal encounters.
The telephone call between Obama and
Netanyahu carried on for a full two-hours, creating the appearance of
respect between the two world leaders.
As that meeting drew to a close, Ms.
Jarrett, who is also the Assistant to the President for Public
Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, went from the living quarters
to the White House Situation Room, where the attack in Benghazi was
being monitored by Dempsey, Panetta and other top-ranking officials.
A critical question that needed to be answered, and the sole military-order that could have launched offensive-actions, neutralizing the Ansar al Sharia terrorists attacks on the Mission (the purpose of which is detailed here) and its subsequent attacks on the adjacent CIA Annex, was the issuance of “Cross Border Authority”, an order that can only be issued by the Commander in Chief, himself.

This wouldn't be the only time Jarrett has stuck her claw in to Presidential decision making. The UBL raid, on 3 different occasions, were nixed by this adviser of Iranian heritage.
Of course, she alone could not give the orders. Some communication had to come from the Commander -n- Chief!
