I think in actuality it was a message to Obama,
don’t screw over us or you see what happens.

Obama thought he was a playa but he got played instead.

Question: What authority does the State Department have over the military?

The failure of the State Department or White House to give the military permission to go into Libya, according to the source, only accentuates the significant breakdown in communication among the State Department, military, CIA and White House.

Make no mistake, only one person has the authority to give "military permission to go into Libya."

Three Facts

Fact One:

1) Only the POTUS can authorize a CBA (cross border authority) command for a rescue mission in a foreign nation.

Plus Fact Two:

2) No rescue mission was attempted.

Equals Fact Three:

3) 0bama turned his back on 41 State Dept. and CIA employees refusing to issue a CBA command and went to bed so he could go to Las Vegas the next day.

If this is breaking on CNN, I can only presume that means some internal Democrat long knives are out for Hillary.

But did he go to bed?

Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer: My sources tell me Obama was in the room watching Benghazi attack video 10-27-2012

Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer said tonight that his sources tell him that Obama was one of the people in the room watching the Benghazi attack go down and both he and Col. David Hunt agree it would have taken an order by the president to intervene. Further, Col. Hunt said that we were only 20 min away by jet and a couple of hours away by AC-130 gunships and special forces, and the decision not to intervene had to be political.

Breakdown in communications? I doubt it. Ill bet the obama admin purposefully denied aid to the consulate. Whether they said “no” or just ignored them the end result was the same.

The Constitution and actual practice put the president in charge of foreign policy and the military. Nothing’s going to happen to Obama.

"Fox's source speaks of catastrophic communications and command breakdowns between the military, special ops forces and State Department leaders in Washington. "

Deliberate breakdowns between the military, special ops forces and State Department leaders in Washington. "

Who engineered the deliberate "breakdown"?

Upon whose orders was a knowingly false Benghazi narrative constructed?

It was an option to use an actor or maybe an over-the-counter product.

Aw c'mon. Cut the Preezy, the State Dept, and the CIA some slack. This happened at 4:30 PM Eastern Time. People were asleep, or getting off work, or something. The timing was just bad and the event was unexpected given all the turmoil in Egypt and the rest of the Islamic world. Besides, there was an important campaign fund raiser coming up!

We can't expect miracles, can we?
