Obama, Panetta and Biden had to know about the attack shortly after it started.

Biden said ‘we didn’t know’ during his debate with Ryan. I can’t think of 3 WORSE PEOPLE to have in this situation than these three. Those poor Americans, they were doomed from the start with these 3 COWARDS at the helm.

Say what you want about Obama and Biden. But I have NEVER understood why Panetta is in such a sensitive post. He is a political hack. I cannot stand him and do NOT trust him.

Has there been any polling on whether anyone outside of the hard-core conservative 20 % have even heard of it?

I know of none. At least Fox News has been on this along with many Internet sites.

This all means NOTHING. No Republican has the spine to stand up.

Yawn, nothing will happen. I promise you!

The second drone was from OUTSIDE Libya —it came from SIGONELLA, Sicily...! It replaced the first drone that egressed owing to low fuel.

That’s important because a cross-border authorization can only come from POTUS. But the notion the relief drone would have been authorized by POTUS directly but remained UNARMED...?

That detail almost certainly would be something the President would have SPECIFIED...!

I’m saying that before he went to bed he must have said, “Just MONITOR the situation but DO NOT ATTACK”

And the Department Defense is not commenting now on whether the three men were aware when they met that day of the ongoing Benghazi attack or whether Obama used that meeting to discuss with his defense secretary what should be done to defend the U.S. personnel in Benghazi.

LOL. We don't need DOD to comment on the obvious. The WH knew almost at the same time as the State Dept since flash traffic goes to all the various agencies command centers. And you can bet they discussed what to do.

What I heard on FOX tonight is that there were 2 drones. Neither armed. One from Italy. So they had no qualms about invading Libyan airspace, they just didn't do it with a gunship that probably would have been there in the same time as the 2nd drone. Also the first drone came from in country and was over the fighting within 1 hour. Previously, I thought they claimed the drone didn't show till near the end. Looks worse the more you find out.

“Just MONITOR the situation but DO NOT ATTACK”

I've no doubt you're correct.

I distinctly remember, from the beginning of this that PANETTA AND OBAMA were in a regularly scheduled meeting when they were notified. I could be wrong but this is the first time BIDEN Has been mentioned in that meeting, has he just been included? This is what I found from CNC News.

“Panetta was at the White House for a regular meeting on the afternoon of Sept. 11 as the first reports of the attack unfolded, a U.S. official said. By that evening Panetta had consulted with Dempsey and Ham and had ordered a number of U.S. military forces in the region to move closer to Libya.”

There is no mention of communication between the CIA and the White House. All we get is the State Dept side of it. The CIA was in constant communication with Woods. The CIA has sole control of the Predator drones. Obama approved two armed Predator drones for Libya in April. Woods painted the terrorist gunner with a laser so the drone could take it out, instead the gunner used the laser to take out Tyrone Woods.

Now, we have heard that the Libyans complained about the armed drones being used, but how would they know whether the drones were armed or not?

Toe, IMHO only, the purple lipped prince failed to attend regular security briefings...The idea that he was in a “regular” meeting with Panetta makes me wonder...but its only my instinct.
