Most assumed the Administration's bumbling (mis)management occurred in some crisis center, or at the White House war room... in reality, nothing like that ever happened: nobody held any meetings anywhere, Panetta seems to have been left all by his lonesome to cobble-together a response he felt would not offend Dear Leader's bizarre concerns and loyalties.
Obama not only gave no orders, but didn't even see fit to check-in with the Secretary of Defense (nor State) at any point in time on evening of the attack- the US Commander-in-Chief appears to have been completely and utterly detached.
Remember in November, when Obama said he 'gave orders' on that tragic day to 'keep our people safe'? Under oath -as opposed to Obama's unquestioned BS parroted in the press- Panetta also revealed in Senate testimony that operational details of the response, the decisions on what resources were available to help, and all other decisions were left 'up to us'... doesn't sound like Obama was giving anybody any orders -except maybe the White House chef- does it?
