Defense Secretary Leon Panetta testified this morning on Capitol Hill that President Barack Obama was absent the night four Americans were murdered in Benghazi on September 11, 2012:
Panetta said, though he did meet with Obama at a 5 o'clock prescheduled gathering, the president left operational details, including knowledge of what resources were available to help the Americans under siege, "up to us."
In fact, Panetta says that the night of 9/11, he did not communicate with a single person at the White House. The attack resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.
[snip],a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/petraeus-and-panetta-speak-not-president_659902.html">(As Bill Kristol) wrote in the month after the attack, "Panetta's position is untenable: The Defense Department doesn't get to unilaterally decide whether it's too risky or not to try to rescue CIA operators, or to violate another country's air space.
[snip] But for President Obama, a politically useful telephone call—and the ability to have his aides rush out and tell the media about that phone call—came first."

I’d bet our commander in chief was frequenting one of D.C.s male bath houses with reggie love.
A: Because the pRes_ _ent KNEW
that MANPADs were FINALLY
on their way to al Qaeda, the Moslem Brotherhood,
and his other controllers and terrorist-friends.
Mission Accomplished ... to his well-"deserved" sleep he went.
Hey, cut our king some slack. He had an early flight to Vegas the next morning to campaign. His re-election was much more important than the lives of an ambassador and some Seals.
Some may recall the staggering number of national security briefings he missed just prior to, during, and after 9/11. I never dreamed of anyone like Obama unless we had to get under our desks as kids when the nukes hit.
The president’s action doesn’t even seem to qualify as voting “present.”
I am positive that the morning after it was reported by a White House reporter that obama went to bed early because he had an early morning flight to a campaign stop.

I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but if this was George W. Bush, this story would be all over the media today.
Where are the 40+ survivors that were rescued, and why aren’t they in front of Congress?
Would you believe:
Why aren’t they being interviewed by the RATagandists....or FOXNEWS...or even the WND or National Enquirer? (not to mention the foreign press)
He was probably buzzed.
Pan in Italian is bread...Panetta...Breadhead.
baked high stoned blotto three sheets to the wind fried
Obviously the latest story.
He spend a whole hour or so on the phone with the PM of Israel (according to his claim during the presidential debate).

Oh, the attacks went on for another 6-1/2 hour. Uhhhhh, well, he was packing for that long, arduous trip to Las Vegas the next morning. Packing is hard work. You gotta make sure the socks match. And stuff.

These hearings are revealing that neither Obama or Clinton were ‘involved’ during the 7-1/2 hours of the attacks, and neither of them apparently called for any ‘involvement’ by any US military support — some stationed just two hours away.
No wonder Clinton blamed the Internet and they trotted out Rice to spew that ridiculous story that the trailer for some obscure movie caused this.
So... what’s up with Panetta letting the cat out of the bag?
When the SHTF there are some people that it is better that they are absent.
Of course, that becomes problematic when the particular person in question just happens to be the Commander-in-Chief of your armed forces, and when those who command under him are just as clueless as he is.
At the time we were shown a photo of Obama in the situation room as if he were directly addressing this problem in real time. This was a misrepresentation, a LIE.
He and his minions continuously lie and deceive. We are at war with profound evil.
He had some skeet to go shoot.
No, he won’t be impeached over this, and nothing much will happen, formally, in Washington, but there’s another judge and jury-the people.
The media will attempt to downplay Obama’s perfidy and incompetence as regards Benghazi, but it’ll keep popping back up. It’s a visceral issue, four people are needlessly dead. They are dead because of a failed philosophy-the belief that appeasing terrorists somehow stops them from killing. The people instinctively know this was a tremendous mistake.
This was Obama’s three am phone call that came at five pm, and he didn’t even pick up the receiver.
This is a loser issue in Washington, but will be a winner for conservatives in any debate at any workplace water cooler going forward.
Benghazi will effectively kill off Hillary’s chances too. IMHO.

incredible.. but hang a fundraiser in O-s face and he’s there like flies on poop.
impeachment inside of two years into his 2nd term works for me.. take your pick as to the articles of impeachmnt, it’s a target rich area.
It would be interesting to see the White House visitors log book to see the people Obama spent his time with on 9/11.
“Duck & Cover”, as I remember it in the 50s.
Its axel,valerie jarrett,maybe a few others at the top. and a few other trusted aids.
when the chips hit the fan you want the top of the food chain there in charge. Zero is simply not the top.
Further more panetta is now telling another whopper that it would have taken 9 hours to get help to the men at Benghazi.Only if the F-16's made several stops at Duncan donuts or Starbucks. And just like Hillary Panetta claims "what did you want me to do shoot the place up when we don't know what is going on. So now we see yet another talking point devised by the evil bent axel,they never knew what was going on. Can you say plausible deny-ability? They conveniently ignore all the requests for help from Doherty and Woods. This adm is just full of,true traitors IMHO.
ON another tract FNC just had a segment on the Iranians treatment of the iranian turned US citizen turned christian who was jailed. They claimed that John Kerry had done more in just a few days than hillary did in months. Not hard to believe with the dyke queen over analyzing her every move for potential political value or degradation. quite a gang,nastiest of the nasty.
Currently,We can rightly claim they are traitors and until they can prove they are not the charge will stick.
Thanks for the ping MM. I hope Benghazi never goes away.
They absolve themselves of being responsible, but just can't, for the life of themselves, say anything about anyone else being responsible either.
I would think that at least one person would be under the bus by now.
Very surreal. Nobody under the bus AND no bus.
Zero living up to his moniker...
Was this photo from when OBL was killed?
Was this photo Benghazi with BO photoshopped in?
I wrote to our local “news” channel, asking them why they had not covered this story.
Their response was to say their “national” stories were based on their national affiliate’s “take” on things (I’m paraphrasing—in other words, they’ll report the news as their big brother reports the news.)
I also tuned in ABC with Sawyer to see if this story would make their cue—it did not. I wrote to them, as well, under the heading “news tip” and suggested their censoring of this story made them complicit in this scandal.
Since our congresscritters do NOTHING, more of us need to attack the “media” for THEIR malpractice- ridicule the dinosaurs.
Hey, if they can give F-16s and Abrams tanks to the Muslim Brotherhood . . .
I wish I had kept a link to the story. It was not from OBL. And I know nothing of BO photoshopping, unless he's shooting a shotgun.
You got pics?
“Benghazi will effectively kill off Hillary’s chances too.”
Yeah, I only wish. Won’t happen though.
The Low Information Voter does not have a clue.
One of them was heard to have said, “Who is this Ben Ghazi guy.?
This country has turned a very bad corner and only dire events will make it come to its senses.
This BS by Clinton, Obama, and; this entire admin is the worse leadership/management ever. ZIP. The SEC of State is responsible for the personnel assigned, the security, and; the lives of every swinging Richard in Dept of State wheresoever situated. Obama is responsible for US national security, not just here, but; wherever we place one single American. Now, Obama is responsible for everything this admin does or fails to do. Who do you think the CG comes looking for when an outpost is overrun and Willie is dead because the company CO failed to listen to his men? Hint. They come for the CO. Now, under Obama-no boss is held responsible for a damn thing. I look at Gen Martin Dempsey like a REMF.
