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.
To: yoe
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.

The incompetence and malfeasance...and possibly dereliction of duty or treason are somewhat sickly entertaining. But “what does it matter now?” if no one does anything about it? Why aren't people fired, in jail or hung? Enquiring minds want to know.

If this clown in the White Hut was a “white Republican” the articles of impeachment would have already been introduced in the House. Nixon went down on far less egregious issues. AND they didn't even have to conduct the impeachment trial with a RAT Senate of 56-42 and a RAT House of 242-192.
I can only hope that someday in America when my grand kids are fully grown that America (if it still exits as a Republic) can shed it's guilt of slavery.

Whether Obama was present or not, he was in charge and must be held accountable. Being absent makes him even more guilty. He should be impeached over his gross dereliction of duty.
To: yoe
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.

That’s what I thought when Panetta said Bam and Hil were not involved....But wait, my eyes saw a picture of them in the situation room and they inferred that it was the night of the attack, didn’t they? Didn’t they? (heavy sarcasm)

In fact, Panetta says that the night of 9/11, he did not communicate with a single person at the White House.

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.

Looks like old Leon wanted to beat Obama to who got thrown under the bus first.

Obama was in bed and busy entertaining an old friend that night.

It would be interesting to see the White House visitors log book to see the people Obama spent his time with on 9/11.

This is only one of the big stories and adds corroboration to my theory that zero is really not in charge.
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.

I don't think its so much the death of four patriots,which is horrendous that will sink the leaky obama ship but rather the fact that they a had a real chance to save them and have offered no real excuse for not doing so.That's the unbelievable part if we can keep it alive in the New Media since we know its already forgotten in the DBM.
Currently,We can rightly claim they are traitors and until they can prove they are not the charge will stick.

"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."
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.

Was this photo from when OBL was killed?
Was this photo Benghazi with BO photoshopped in?
