The White House on Saturday flatly denied that President Barack Obama withheld requests for help from the besieged American compound in Benghazi, Libya, as it came under on attack by suspected terrorists on September 11th.

"Neither the president nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi," National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told Yahoo News by email.

“Petraeus essentially blamed Obama for this he should stand up and do that plainly and make any tapes or transcripts the CIA has public.”

I was wondering, though, if they were going to say that sending help from a CIA annex would compromise their cover.

Isn't that weird? I scolled and scrolled and I couldn't find ONE person who believes the administration. And this is Yahoo,a far-left site.

Normally you'd hear the trolls singing: "But Bush did this...etc."

Even the trolls are silent.

I’m wondering why Obama hasn’t said he ordered a rescue.

People on the west coast seemed to have had a different view of events on 9/11. We heard that there was at least one confirmed dead before dinner, and were watching for updates from the White House that never came. We almost gagged when they announced the next day that it was tied to the silly movie trailer , and that Obama had met with the NSA in DC at 5 PM on 9/11.

This is from my IPad, I am a terrible one finger typist.

Well, it was reported on 9/12 that Obama had a meeting for with NSA in WA DC at 5PM on 9/11.

Has it been reported that Obama actually attended this meeting or was he off somewhere doing important things?

It wasn’t Petraeus are anybody under him, and it wasn’t the Joint Chiefs, and it wasn’t Ubama, so evidently Vladimir Putin is running the show.

May already have been posted, Jennifer Griffin said today her source was someone that was in the CIA annex.

I am assuming no one from the annex will ever speak publicly because it would blow their covers putting them and their families in grave danger.
