Is it payback or just shame? General Carter Ham, the combatant commander of Africa Command and a key figure in the Benghazi scandal, is retiring from the Army years short of the mandatory retirement age, according to the Washington Times.
Ham’s name came up in relation to Benghazi
last week when Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta was trying to explain
why no military backup was sent into the battle at the U.S. mission
despite repeated requests from those under siege:
“(The) basic principle is that you don’t
deploy forces into harm’s way without knowing what’s going on; without
having some real-time information about what’s taking place. And as a
result of not having that kind of information, the commander who was on
the ground in that area, Gen. Ham, Gen. Dempsey and I felt very strongly
that we could not put forces at risk in that situation.”
This despite having a live video feed of
the events in Benghazi in the situation room, where information from
other sources has placed President Obama as well.
With Panetta trying to implicate him, Ham
must have had a target on his back since the September 11 attacks.
Panetta had announced on October 18 that Ham would be replaced as head
of AFRICOM. On Monday, an Army spokesperson insisted the decision to
retire was made by Ham and was not fallout from Benghazi.
