BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: There is a somewhat shocking report that I came across today at a website run by Doug Ross. It's called the Conservative Report. Doug Ross maintains here that Valerie Jarrett gave the orders to stand down in Benghazi. Valerie Jarrett, who constitutionally is not in the chain of command and cannot do that. And that's why this, if true, is a bombshell. Valerie Jarrett nixed the raid on bin Laden three separate times, remember, and the adults had to come in and basically act on the intel that they had as to where bin Laden was. It was Valerie Jarrett who put off three separate times an attack to either capture or kill bin Laden.
It was Panetta and Hillary and some others, apparently, who just finally overruled her and started the operation. They pulled Obama off the golf course for the photo op-ed, after the event had already begun. But Doug Ross is saying here: "Confidential sources close to Conservative Report have confirmed that Valerie Jarrett was the key decision-maker for the administration, the night of the Benghazi terrorist attack on 9/11/2012. The chronology of the evening of 9/11 are as follows:
"At approximately 5 PM Washington time, reports came in through secure-channels that Special Mission Benghazi was under attack. Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey summoned the President, and briefed him on the crisis, face to face." And remember, this is the meeting where Obama is reported to have said to both -- well, actually all three, Panetta, Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and Hillary. "You guys do what you have to do," and he vanishes. This is the best intel that we've got. And the story for the longest time, "Where was Obama?" Because he was off the grid for the next seven hours. Nobody knew where he was. And, remember, throughout all of this, we're all asking, "Who issued the order to stand down?" Because that can only come from the top.
I don't know how many times that I made the statement on this program, "The secretary of defense cannot order people to stand down. The secretary of defense cannot order, on the other hand, forces from, say, Italy to enter the theater and engage. That has to come via the chain of command. That has to come from the top, and the top in this case is Obama, not an aide." So if this is true, this really, really is a bombshell.
...or something.
Ross Limburger.
Fact Four:
Woodrow Wilson suffered a debilitating stroke and spent the last six months of his Presidency incapacitated. This fact was kept from all but a tight circle of confidants (a MSM reporter actually facilitated this by writing and publishing a fake interview indicating that Wilson was okay). During this time, Wilson’s wife, Edith, made all his decisions and acted basically as the de-facto President until Warren G. Harding was sworn in. Only years later did historians learn of this.
So, if it happened once...
You're right. However, it should be.
It certainly sounds like something the WH would have done but that's not enough for so much conjecture.
Obama has a record of utter unbelievability, but I don’t understand the point of your question unless you believe it is a viable conservative strategy to combat lies with lies.
I do not believe that this would be a good way to defeat Obama-ism and that is why I am asking about Ross’s history of credibility.
How high did he go? My guess he was incapacitated. One of the original comments was “0 was sleeping”. Those who have lived with an active addict knows that SLEEPING is code for passed out!
So, you’re saying that 0bamster was just stroking it?
Obama was in the White House the whole time.
So, what was he doing that evening?
Why would ANYONE else be making his decisions for him that night?
The key to Benghazi is what was Obama doing the night of September 11th?
When we know that, we will know what kind of people we really are by what our response is.
Where was Reggie Love that night?
A sleeping president can be awoken. No president is ever “unavailable”- surely their whereabouts are always known.
That leaves 3 scenarios for me...
1. He was in a “state” that could only resolved by time and sleep (alcohol? Drugs?-that sort of thing)
2. He slipped the Secret Service again (remember in the first term? When he allegedly ditched his detail to watch “soccer”?)
Or
3. He simply refused to deal with it. He voted “present” again and shrugged it off to Valerie or Panetta- or Hillary
Either way - we know he was not in the Situation Room or they would have released that photo prior to the election.
Yep, what you said. They just don’t give. Damn..
The nit picky difference is that Jarrett likely told the Sec-Def that “The Prez is NOT providing Cross Border Authority”
The net effect is the same as a “stand down” order, but there’s technical difference.
I hope BO is forced to acknowledge that is the thin reed he’s hiding behind.
lol. the hell she can’t!
She has been the invisible president all the while. She brought him to power in Illinois and took charge in D.C. He does not decide on anything without her input. She and Axelrod are the two most powerful people in the executive branch, unelected though they may be. Nbr. 3 is Michelle. Bambi runs a poor fourth.
Agreed, or Doug can go find another line of work.
obama was NOT asleep.
NOBODY goes to “sleep” at 5:30pm.
He needs to ACCOUNT for his whereabouts between 5pm and “bedtime”, whenever that might be.
I cannot believe congress can’t be bothered. They should be tarred and feathered and run OUT of DC.
We're of the same mind on this, it also allows him to say he [technically] did not give a stand down order.
Has Rush mentioned her lizardly dastardly simularities?
Legally. Since when has this bunch ever observed laws? I can easily imagine Jarrett giving an order like this.
