Panetta: Obama Absent Night of Benghazi Daniel Halper February 7, 2013 12:05 PM
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta testified this morning on Capitol Hill that President Barack Obama was absent the night four Americans were murdered in Benghazi on September 11, 2012:
Panetta said that Obama left operational details, including knowledge of what resources were available to help the Americans under siege, "up to us."
In fact, Panetta says that the night of 9/11, he did not communicate with a single person at the White House. The attack resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.
Panetta said that, save their 5 o'clock prescheduled meeting with the president the day of September 11, Obama did not call or communicate in anyway with the defense secretary that day. There were no calls about what was going on in Benghazi. He never called to check-in.
I wonder where Valerie Jarret was. I bet she is more “hands-on” than Obama is.
Is Panetta throwing Obama under the bus here? Did Rush pick this up?
No big deal to a community organizer from Chicago. It is not like a black person got shot by a “white hispanic” or anything. If B.O. can't exploit it for perceived political gain, it's not worth his time.
“Did Rush pick this up?”
Probably too busy hawking his newest venture to bother.
I’m fed up with all the blabber mouths these days. They hold themselves in such high regard yet they are getting worthless about getting the message out. They are too self important to listen to anyone that isn’t establishment or writing a book they can hawk.
Most amazing to me is that as Zer0 was meeting in the afternoon with Panetta and Dempsey, and talked for about 15 minutes about Benghazi, no-one tried to contact Hillary, who is supposedly in charge of all the State Dept. stations.
And Zer0, probably whilst practicing his putting on the oval office rug, told these guys “to do what you need to do”, and they come up with their (plan??) but never contact Hitlery to tell her what they are going to do.
This sounds like a totally disfunctional administration, at all levels, not just from WonderBoy who never held a job where anyone, noone, ever reported to him. (Just a street pimp pushing out OPM, and a part time law lecturer.)
“This sounds like a totally disfunctional administration, at all levels”
EXACTLY!
There’s a post on Face Book that says impeachment hearings will start on March 13 in the House, but I don’t believe it.
This is what happens when you “lead from behind.” The behind does not really contain a heart and brain. Sometimes it’s stinky.
I’m not happy to be dragged through life by Obama’s behind.
I seriously doubt it. All those guys have families.
Where was President Obama and why is Leon Panetta talking about him like this? Hard to know who to trust less - Panetta or Obama... Something’s up.
He DID make time to phone up Netanyahu AFTER panetta’s visit though. Didn’t he? Lies and damn lies. Ain’t it odd? Biden was there. There are pics of it. Right in the THICK of Benghazi. WTF???
Ping to 151
It might be time to start thinking the unthinkable - this might have been on purpose...
This was on purpose. Our ambassador was left out in the wilderness and thrown to the wolves. Our military assets were repeatedly told to stand down. baraq was “unavailable” during the firefight. They all blamed some poor schlub who made a movie that no one saw. BTW, he is still in jail.
All the baraqobots are in CYA mode.
Team baraq has NO emotional attachment to our country or us.
Now why this was done? Who knows if the truth will ever get out. Probably why the survivors have no contact with the outside world. I think they are trying to run out the clock until the next incident when their media will completely forget about Benghazi and move on to the next shooting by some nut.
