Retired Lt. Col.: My Sources Say Obama Was in the Room Watching Benghazi Attack Happen

Retired Army Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer said Saturday he has sources saying President Barack Obama was in the room at the White House watching the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya unfold.

Two unarmed U.S. drones were dispatched to the consulate and recorded the final hours of the attack, which killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

“This was in the middle of the business day in Washington, so everybody at the White House, CIA, Pentagon, everybody was watching this go down,” Shaffer said on Fox News’ “Justice with Judge Jeanine.” “According to my sources, yes, [Obama] was one of those in the White House Situation Room in real-time watching this.”

Shaffer served as a senior operations officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency in Afghanistan in 2003 and wrote a book critical of the policies there. The U.S. government purchased the entire print run for $47,000 in an attempt at censorship just before its 2010 publication, claiming it contained classified material.

Shaffer said the question now is what precisely Obama did or didn’t do in the moments he saw the attack unfolding. The CIA reportedly made three urgent requests for military backup that were each denied...........

I'm still very curious about the full circumstances behind the relief of Gen. Ham. I hope somebody breaks the silence and we find out if in fact, he was pressing on and had to be forcibly relieved at the direction of Panetta or Obama.

Well...to publish a book he needs a Library of Congress number and an ISBN number (from Bowker company)....

and needs to send one copy to the Copyright Office and another copy to the Library of Congress.

So it's possible to get a copy of the book.

Thanks! I have posted the link on my FB page, with the caption “On November 6 REMEMBER BENGHAZI”. I know a lot of people who are on FB but won’t read FR, so by the time they decide not to read the story, at least they will have read the caption. Some may even be curious enough to click on the link...

“Two unarmed U.S. drones were dispatched to the consulate”

Two armed drones shooting 4 hellfire missiles into that crowd of terrorists might have scared them off especially if they were backed up by a C130 gunship that was reportedly in the area. Everybody on this thread would have made a better call than the POS in charge.

America has a pRes_ _ent who gets his orgasms by watching Americans be murdered in cold blood, and by watching the Twin Towers collapse onto 3000 Americans. I have NEVER been so ashamed of this country.

AND if this clown is given another four, we should also be ashamed of the ignorant dumb a$$ voters walking amongst us. AND the "media" not doing their job for which they were given special Constitutional protectin to carry out.

An updated second edition might be in order...
