So here are a few more questions for the White House: While President Obama was on the phone for an hour, did his national security advisor Tom Donilon or any other aide interrupt the call or slip him a piece of paper to inform him about what was happening in Benghazi?

Was there then no discussion of what was or what wasn't being done to help, pursuant to the president's first directive that everything possible be done?"
