Ruh-Roh! CIA Director Patraeus Tosses Prevaricator-in-Chief RIGHT Under the Bus on Benghazi Lies:
Reaganite Republican ^ | October 27, 2012 | Reaganite Republican

Posted on 10/27/2012 6:06:00 AM PDT by Reaganite Republican

'We weren't the ones who denied military support 
to Americans under attack in Benghazi'


Ah, what a tangled web we weave-  and guess you should have realized you'll never own this patriot, Barry:
________________________________________________________________________________

Breaking news on Benghazi: the CIA spokesman, presumably at the direction of CIA director David Petraeus, has put out this statement: 'No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate.' 

So who in the government did tell ;anybody' not to help those in need? 

Someone decided not to send in military assets to help those Agency operators. Would the secretary of defense make such a decision on his own? No.

It would have been a presidential decision. 

There was presumably a rationale for such a decision. What was it? When and why—and based on whose counsel obtained in what meetings or conversations—did President Obama decide against sending in military assets to help the Americans in need?

________________________________________________________________________________



Yet Obama still claims -entirely to the contrary-
that he 'gave an order' to secure our personnel-
another stinking lie:

________________________________________________________________________________
Gateway Pundit:

Obama told Denver’s WUSA TV this in regard to the Benghazi 9-11 terror attack, 'I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to. Number two, we’re going to investigate exactly what happened to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice.'


Tonight however, Bing West, a former Assistant Secretary of Defense, told Greta Van Susteren, 'If that actually happened the way President Obama said it happened, there’s a paper trail and I think people reasonably enough can say, 'Can we see the order?' because hundreds of others supposedly saw this order.

Obama just got caught. He lied about his securing our personnel in Benghazi. And now the world will know about it...


________________________________________________________________________________

Hillary of course has already lawyered-up, and her guy is saying in no uncertain terms that Obama's the one that ignored repeated pleas for added security in Benghazi over the previous months.


In Denver Dear Leader also purported that 'This election has
nothing to do with Benghazi
'- so
I guess if we all can just agree on that, this whole unpleasant thing can go away until after the election.


HAH HAH HAH ha ha ha ha ha hyuk-hyuk guffaw snort-chuckle.

Typical top brass military politician; he threw his lot in with this contemptible POS POTUS, and now runs for the hills to save his own skin. If he had real brass balls, he should’ve figured out a way to go around that pu$$y and have military intervention take place to save those real Americans in Bengazi, even if it cost him his job. Oh well, too much to lose, I guess, however in the the end hopefully truth wins out.

Obviously the current occupant of the oval office is the one who made the decision. No one in this administration can do anything on their own. The Anointed One is in charge and gives all the orders.

He has not yet been impeached, which proves that half the American public has its head up its a$$, the mainstream media have deliberately chosen to protect him, and the Republican party is a bunch of wimps.

Uh, I respect Petreaus- Obama coaxed him into the CIA to politically neutralize him, but I for one am happy to see him there, one element of sanity in this foul administration.

As far as Libya goes, looks like Hillary, Petraeus, and others all came out for providing the aid the consulate was asking for... and the guy that stopped them’s about to lose his job over it, among other things

Regrettably sometimes the brass has to wait to show brass. This perhaps was/is one of those times. Am grateful some, with brass, are speaking up. By speaking up, it makes it more difficult for zer0 and his crowd to coverup.

"He has not yet been impeached, which proves that half the American public traitors in the US Congress have their heads up its a$$,"

The US Congress should be replaced and indicted
for allowing a coup d'etat by al Qaeda after 9/11.

Eisenhower Never Took Credit . . .

Follow the graphics to the part about Eisenhower never taking credit for D-Day. The truth of that was that Eisenhower prepared to take responsibility if it had been the disaster it could have been.

Eisenhower prepared a headline to release if the good guys lost on Normandy. It said: Our Forces have been withdrawn from Normandy.

Eisenhower scratched that and replaced it wirh: I have withdrawn our forces from Normandy.

An interesting difference with our Child-in-Chief...Obama doesn't know what it's like to take responsibility when there is need for heavy lifting. He never actually experienced it, responsibility, that is...or heavy lifting.

If Patraeus feels that his CIA is being smeared, then he should resign in protest. That would get everyone's attention. A protest resignation is something that the MSM would have to report.

Anything less will have no impact at all.

There were reports that one of those under attack was able to laser point to the attackers and call for air strikes. One of two drones in the area was armed.

When the HQ received the laser data, someone had to say Yea or Nay.

Whose drones were these? If they were CIA's, then someone in the CIA chain of command made the decision not to fire.

Petraeus: "No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate."

That sounds more like wigglewords and CYA (Cover Your A$$), rather than CIA decision to take action.

Patraeus is effectively saying that there were ZERO calls for help from Wood or Doherty or any one else. [That doesn't ring true.]

Petraeus on Benghazi: It Wasn’t Me

Long ago I was a SEAL officer and I attended many joint and combined operational planning meetings in the USA, abroad, and on ships at sea. This type of rescue mission is called a "NEO" operation, for Non-combatant Evacuation Operation. Every embassy and consulate has and practices all kinds of emergency evac plans, in concert with the US military.

For example, Marines and SEALs practice NEO ops prior to deploying on every float, as a VERY high priority mission. They involve full dress-rehearsals, with civilian role players, helos, landing craft, rounding up stranded stragglers, opfor ambushes, role-playing "angry mobs," fighting your way to LZs or even beaches while protecting a gaggle of civilians down to babies etc. Conducting successful NEO ops is a TOP TOP TOP military and state department mission priority. I cannot emphasize this enough. NEO ops are planned and practiced over and over and over.

When the alarm goes off worldwide that an embassy or consulate is being attacked, the entire U.S. military swings into rescue mode, without waiting for any orders from the White House. The military does all of the operational planning and begins to execute the rescue op.

The one thing they CAN'T do is cross an international border without permission from POTUS. So the US Military will be inbound full-steam-ahead to make the rescue, and all they need from POTUS is a "proceed" order. In this case, they got a "stand down" instead.

This is at the POTUS level, it is not a decision taken at State. State and the military (JCS) should be in the Situation Room with POTUS soon after a critical incident like this begins, so all decisions can be made in real time. (I have heard nowhere that POTUS went into the Situation Room at all. Apparently he went to the Oval Office briefly, but not down to the Situation Room, where the "war planning" screens, full staffs and commo tools are all located for dealing with a major crisis.)

But if POTUS punts after a brief Oval Office meeting with Dempsey and Hillary and goes upstairs to the family quarters....the stranded Americans will die.

Only POTUS can give the order to cross international borders. Only POTUS can allow US warplanes to give air support to Americans battling on the ground in a foreign country. If POTUS makes himself unavailable, the Americans will die.

Even the VEEP or Secretary of State cannot make that call. The VEEP can only do it if the POTUS is determined to be medically unable to perform his functions. If the POTUS goes upstairs and turns off his phone, there is nothing anybody can do about it. Nothing. And the besieged Americans will die.

On Friday an anonymous Pentagon insider ("Doug") called into Rush with a lot of new details about this disgraceful fiasco. But what we really need now is for a high-ranking officer with insider knowledge to go public, risk his pension and career, and tell the truth.

The blame for this humiliating and shameful national disgrace is pointing directly at the POTUS, and America needs to know why the inbound rescue operation was aborted.

Don’t we have several folks who were there that evacuated?
Can they not be asked about what went down?

What about this 5 pm meeting at the WH. Who was in attendance? what was discussed?

Another question I have:
If the two heroes had not disobeyed orders and gone to the Consulate to help, how many others were there and how many others may have been killed?

There are some serious questions here that need serious answers

Patraeus may or may not resign. I truly do not know. At this time though, there has to be someone who will say what is true, and keep eyes on the zer0 crowd for the good that will come from having done such. The media will do what they always do, unfortunately, and will spout the liberal lies, regrettably, no matter how this plays out. The media thinks they have made a deal with the devil, and when the devil turns on the media only then will the media, supporting zer0 and zer0’s crowd, realize their mistake. God and Generals sometimes take the road not taken by the masses. This may be one of those times. I truly do not know. I do know this. I would always like to have someone on the inside. Especially now. If Mr. Patraeus is the person in this role, along with others, am grateful, for the lies will be more difficult to cover-up.

It's my understanding these brave souls evacuated about 30 people, then went back to find the Ambassador and one (or two) other people they were unable to locate before.

I've also read the supposed mastermind to this operation was (conveniently) killed at another location about a week ago.

Like you, I've been very curious to find out about what happened to these 30 witnesses, despite the fact they probably don't have a clue to the military aspect of the operation.

THIRTY people don't just disappear, but I have been unable to find much of anything..... like their names or their purpose for being there.

Admirals and generals have excellent retirements. Any admiral or general could retire and live very comfortably. I think that’s one reason they do have a good retirement. They can retire as a means of protest. How many have? It always comes down to the same argument with them, “Yes, I could resign in protest, but then the Democrats would cut the budget to get revenge.” The Democrats will cut the military budget anyway.

So Patraeus spoke, big deal...he is obfuscating the obvious and trying to save his own hide. He could have said clearly that the CIA didn't have the authority to go in and that the authority is the purview of the POTUS, but he didn't. He is trying to walk a rope that I hope breaks. Don't we have any people capable of speaking the truth in this whole disgusting Administration?
