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, though he did meet with Obama at a 5 o'clock prescheduled gathering, the president 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.
[snip],a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/petraeus-and-panetta-speak-not-president_659902.html">(As Bill Kristol) wrote in the month after the attack, "Panetta's position is untenable: The Defense Department doesn't get to unilaterally decide whether it's too risky or not to try to rescue CIA operators, or to violate another country's air space.
[snip] But for President Obama, a politically useful telephone calland the ability to have his aides rush out and tell the media about that phone callcame first."

When the SHTF there are some people that it is better that they are absent.
Of course, that becomes problematic when the particular person in question just happens to be the Commander-in-Chief of your armed forces, and when those who command under him are just as clueless as he is.
At the time we were shown a photo of Obama in the situation room as if he were directly addressing this problem in real time. This was a misrepresentation, a LIE.
He and his minions continuously lie and deceive. We are at war with profound evil.
He had some skeet to go shoot.
No, he won’t be impeached over this, and nothing much will happen, formally, in Washington, but there’s another judge and jury-the people.
The media will attempt to downplay Obama’s perfidy and incompetence as regards Benghazi, but it’ll keep popping back up. It’s a visceral issue, four people are needlessly dead. They are dead because of a failed philosophy-the belief that appeasing terrorists somehow stops them from killing. The people instinctively know this was a tremendous mistake.
This was Obama’s three am phone call that came at five pm, and he didn’t even pick up the receiver.
This is a loser issue in Washington, but will be a winner for conservatives in any debate at any workplace water cooler going forward.
Benghazi will effectively kill off Hillary’s chances too. IMHO.

incredible.. but hang a fundraiser in O-s face and he’s there like flies on poop.
impeachment inside of two years into his 2nd term works for me.. take your pick as to the articles of impeachmnt, it’s a target rich area.
It would be interesting to see the White House visitors log book to see the people Obama spent his time with on 9/11.
“Duck & Cover”, as I remember it in the 50s.
Its axel,valerie jarrett,maybe a few others at the top. and a few other trusted aids.
when the chips hit the fan you want the top of the food chain there in charge. Zero is simply not the top.
Further more panetta is now telling another whopper that it would have taken 9 hours to get help to the men at Benghazi.Only if the F-16's made several stops at Duncan donuts or Starbucks. And just like Hillary Panetta claims "what did you want me to do shoot the place up when we don't know what is going on. So now we see yet another talking point devised by the evil bent axel,they never knew what was going on. Can you say plausible deny-ability? They conveniently ignore all the requests for help from Doherty and Woods. This adm is just full of,true traitors IMHO.
ON another tract FNC just had a segment on the Iranians treatment of the iranian turned US citizen turned christian who was jailed. They claimed that John Kerry had done more in just a few days than hillary did in months. Not hard to believe with the dyke queen over analyzing her every move for potential political value or degradation. quite a gang,nastiest of the nasty.
Currently,We can rightly claim they are traitors and until they can prove they are not the charge will stick.
Thanks for the ping MM. I hope Benghazi never goes away.
They absolve themselves of being responsible, but just can't, for the life of themselves, say anything about anyone else being responsible either.
I would think that at least one person would be under the bus by now.
Very surreal. Nobody under the bus AND no bus.
Zero living up to his moniker...
Was this photo from when OBL was killed?
Was this photo Benghazi with BO photoshopped in?
