From this FR thread:
Obama's September 11 Phone Call (during Benghazi attack)
Obama, Netanyahu: Hour phone call Tuesday night; White House denies snubBy Lynn Sweet on September 11, 2012 8:18 PM |
President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed Iran and other issues in a hour-long phone call on Tuesday night, the White House announced--along with a statement that Netanyahu, contrary to news reports, never asked for a meeting with the president.
==
During the second debate, he said:
OBAMA: So as soon as we found out that the Benghazi consulate was being overrun, I was on the phone with my national security team, and I gave them three instructions. Number one, beef up our security and and and procedures not just in Libya but every embassy and consulate in the region. Number two, investigate exactly what happened, regardless of where the facts lead us, to make sure that folks are held accountable and it doesnt happen again. And number three, we are going to find out who did this, and we are going to hunt them down, because one of the things that Ive said throughout my presidency is when folks mess with Americans, we go after them.
This was just prior to the exchange 'get the transcript Candy'.

Michelle is wondering what he was doing also. He told her he was in the situation room until early in the morning. When, in fact, he was just in a “situation”.

So his ‘call’ to Netanyahu was a lie. Amirite?

Once again...YES, he did. He made a very well publicized call to Benjamin Netanyahu which lasted over an hour while the attack on Benghazi was happening in realtime. In the press release and photo op, there was not a single mention of Benghazi during the entire conversation. After that, obama disappeared not to be seen or heard from until the next morning. NO one has even asked why it was so important to make that phone call to Netanyahu at that specific time when our ambassador and other Americans were being murdered.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

I usually can’t stand the “illustrious” Sen L. Graham from South Carolina... but in this case he’s been pure pit with a locking jaw that won’t let go.

Mesta....thanks for the clarification. What I’m wondering is......was it ‘well publicized’ in OUR ‘media’ (and I use that term loosely because it’s the equivalent to Pravda and are merely scribes)....or was it further confirmed in Israeli media?

I hope Grahamnesty doesn’t think he’s earning points with conservatives on this and I hope he isn’t going to run pres, we don’t need ANOTHER rino as the repub nominee.
He might be good on this, but he will buckle under and give obozo what he wants very soon.
To: RushIsMyTeddyBear
Maybe someone else dialed the number, but that call was definitely made...and I would bet my right arm that if ALL the Americans who would have died at Benghazi had died, (as planned,) but for the heroic SEALs, the entire blame for the incident would have been that Israel backed an anti-muslim film that started these riots and got our people killed.
THEN the press release would have been quite different.

Why should the WH admit to or deny anything?
Even if they get caught lying, they’ll get a free pass from the MSM.

The obama administration had every intention of blaming Israel for ALL of the riots in all the muslim countries so they could further isolate Israel, piss off more Americans against Israel, and lessen the criticism of us supplying weapons and planes to their sworn enemies.
That is why that damn movie was so important that he used it as his premise in his speech at the UN even after the truth was known.
It was intended as a smackdown of Israel and it was an epic fail.

Little barry basatrd boy is not a leader. He is a campaigner who will never be held accountable because he will never step up to lead. And that’s probably why the real power behind the democrips and republicants put him in power.

Add this October 29 interview on MSNBC/MORNING JOE.........DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION..........WELL SOMEBODY DIDN’T DO THEIR JOB AND THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
If we find out we that there was a big breakdown, and somebody didnt do their job, theyll be held accountable, he said, before taking responsibility for the event. Ultimately, as commander-in-chief, Im responsible, and I dont shy away from that responsibility. My No. 1 responsibility is to go after the folks who did this, and were going to make sure we get them.

"Mr. Panetta told Congress last week that he knew immediately the attacks were a terrorist assault" Then why the he-- didn't YOU pick up the phone, Mr. Panetta, and call the White House sometime during the next three weeks and tell them they were lying about the video tape?
