And the CIA has denied that anyone in its chain of command rejected requests for help from the besieged Americans.
Well, the personnel on the ground would have made the request through either the WH or CIA. There are only 2 conclusions to be made from those statements.
1 - No request for assistance was ever made. That's highly unlikely.
2 - A massive and blatantly obvious lie/cover up is in effect.
Defense officials say they did not receive a request for military support from the State Department as the attack unfolded.
You have to parse the words these weasels use. CIA says they never told anybody NOT to help. Defense Dept. says they never got a request for assistance from State Dept. (does Hillary have to call Leon and ask for some special forces guys to save her people?) Now the POTUS office says ....”Neither the president nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi,........
Bottom line is they are parsing again. If you do not deny a request for help it is completely different than ISSUING an order to help. If you ask me if you can borrow $20 and I ignore you, you can’t say I denied your request.
Prove it. Where was the AC-130 dispatched? Where was Aviano scrambled and assets in the air? Which carrier group was tapped to lead the assault?
Sooo...
If the CIA didn’t deny them assistance, and the White House didn’t deny them assistance, then the Defense Department or the State Department is going to take the fall.
Panetta has already admitted DoD wouldn’t help, but is he going to take the blame?
Scumbag POS Lying Marxist Douchebags.....
A hotter place in hell awaits those who betray truly honorable American Warriors.
Ok, well, this is easy enough.
We find out who the folks on the ground, were talking to.
Panetta and Obama both claim that they were never asked to provide support.
There are enough people, still alive..... that know plenty about this. The leader of the team that WAS supporting the embassy, until his team was removed 2 weeks before the attack, can clearly state that he made every effort to convince the administration that his team should NOT have been pulled out.
This is just incredible. I hope Obama just fries for this.
First, we’ll remove him via the election, then a full investigation into the matter with that stonewalling regime gone, is going to be quite telling.
what utter B/S, so now they cover up their cover up to hide their orignal cover up and the media still ignores this.
Only one person can give that order to stand down and that is obama , so where was obama during this, ?
Did obama watch the attack live time?
Did he go to bed after knowing that an attack was happening?
obama has lied repeatedly and no wonder he wants many to vote early[and often] because this is catching up and the media is trying to hold off as much as they can.
Or,
3. Obama wasn’t in the room, but in bed asleep, so technically he couldn’t “deny” anything.
Take a look at the comments section at the link. Bammy and crew are being roasted on a spitfire. Seems unlikely those are all conservatives posting and thumbing up/down.
“nor anyone in the White House”
Oh what fun, another linguistic puzzle. Where they standing outside with Obama having a smoke? That’s not in the White House.
Where are the interviews with the survivors?
You can always tell when a lawyer is lying because they resort to semantics to wiggle out of questions.
Maybe they didn't deny it but they didn't approve it either.
Or maybe the WH had someone else deny it.
Oh, well, if a SPOKESMAN for Obama says it, then CLEARLY it must be true!
Hold on...
More Clintonion Parsing.
Perhaps Obama and his minions didn’t deny requests for assistance coming in from Benghazi on 9/11/12.
If so, Obama just ignored them.
See the excellent post by Freeper Travis McGee explaining the appplicable protocol and chain of command in this type of situation:

It all comes back to Obama.
Hey Obama aid and our puke American media...show us the proof!! We don’t believe you lying scumbags!!
Time for Obama and his entire administration to be put under oath!!
Shame on all you posters. Nobody fights for things American more than President Obama.
Mere days ago Obama’s campaign press secretary went public with this quote: “President Obama is the only candidate in this race who is going to continue to fight for Big Bird & Elmo.”
Obama allowed the terrorists to capture, torture, and kill our people in Libya. After the Al Qaeda attack was successfully executed, Obama invitied the terrorists into our soveriegn territory, giving them defacto free reign access in and around our embassy, and granting them access to our secret documents and computers. In addition, Obama
gave the terrorists adaqute time to raise the Al Qaeda flag over our embassy building.
Obama did not offer military support during the attack.
A statement made by someone who was not in the loop at the time, so it’s worthless.
It’s a common tactic, find someone in the organization who was not involved, feed them a flat statement, and they go out and tell it to the press, oblivious to the lie
This is insane. It’s like these people write this stuff, and then don’t expect people to actually read what they wrote (just read the headline).
In the article posted here, it’s stated, “”Neither the president nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi,” National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told Yahoo News by email.”
Now, in that same article it’s stated, “On Friday, Obama himself forcefully denied deliberately misleading Americans about the attack in Benghazi, which claimed the lives of four Americans including Ambassador Chris Stevens”, which points to this article to “prove” the claim “Obama himself forcefully denied...”: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/obama-denies-misleading-benghazi-vows-capture-plotters-184349903—election.html;_ylt=AlhmPFDhNBf5g4HVeCWl_FjNt.d_;_ylu=X3oDMTFkNWJ1MDBuBG1pdANCbG9nIEJvZHkEcG9zAzMEc2VjA01lZGlhQmxvZ0JvZHlBc3NlbWJseQ—;_ylg=X3oDMTM1aDZhYmtiBGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDNTZkODY4YjMtZWY4MS0zOTI2LThhNmMtZWE1YTM2NzJmMjcwBHBzdGNhdANwb2xpdGljc3x0aGV0aWNrZXQEcHQDc3RvcnlwYWdl;_ylv=3
In THAT article it’s reported, “Obama was not asked about, and did not bring up, a report by Fox News Channel that American officials repeatedly asked for military help during the assault but were rebuffed by CIA higher-ups.”
So which is it? He “denies denying requests for help in Benghazi” OR, he was “never asked about it”?
It’s incredible. I’ve absolutely lost all hope for unbaised reporting from these people. They write stuff, and just take the latest story as “fact” without bothering to check what they PREVIOUSLY REPORTED on the matter, which clearly shows that either:
A. The president was never “asked about, and did not bring up, a report by Fox News Channel that American officials repeatedly asked for military help during the assault but were rebuffed by CIA higher-ups.”
OR...
B. He WAS asked (by his “aide”) and the aide reports now that Obama says he did not deny requests for help.
IOW: He can’t have “not been asked” about it AND still apparently deny not providing help!!!!!! It makes no SENSE to say that.
But this is the leftist media after all. “sense” comes secondary when you’re trying to help your guy avoid the biggest scandal to hit his presidency on the eve of a national election. I guess.
“Neither the president nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi,” National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told Yahoo News by email.
Correct me if I am wrong, but did not Obama say at one time, that he wasn’t aware of any requests for help? This statement by the aide, makes it clear, he did in fact know about them. If he did not know, how could he “not” deny them.
