    Maybe you don't know the meaning of the term.



    stand down
    phrasal verb of stand

    1. 1.
      withdraw or resign from a position or office.
      "he stood down as leader of the party"
    2. 2.
      relax or cause to relax after a state of readiness.
      "if something doesn't happen soon, I guess they'll stand us down"
      synonyms: relax, stand easy, come off full alert
      "tell the troops to stand down"

    Maybe you didn't read your own OP.

    "That is an accurate rendering of the conversation at the staff meeting but the larger context is something that we can discuss in the classified session," Daniel said. "But I can say there were many concerns about how many people were involved in the development of the options so the decision at that point was to neck down the number of people that were involved in our ongoing response options. It's not accurate to say all activities ceased at that point."

    Which could mean anything. What we know for certain is Obama said stand down.

    Again, what we may know is that his national security advisor told one unit to reduce it's size. That isn't much.

    I suppose that is true because nobody does...not even his staff.

    If you do I'll just counter with a quote from your OP again:

    "That is an accurate rendering of the conversation at the staff meeting but the larger context is something that we can discuss in the classified session," Daniel said. "But I can say there were many concerns about how many people were involved in the development of the options so the decision at that point was to neck down the number of people that were involved in our ongoing response options. It's not accurate to say all activities ceased at that point."

    "It's not accurate to say all activities ceased at that point"

    "It's not accurate to say all activities ceased at that point"

    "It's not accurate to say all activities ceased at that point"

    Oh I can get around it, but apparently you can't.
