You forgot one thing. They knew Stevens was sodomized and who knows more about covering up rapes than Hitlary.
He was working on his vacation plans
He was stoned and busy sexing. He looked like a wreck in the morning.
I think he was involved in something so bad, the American people would not stand for it for a second if they found out.
Valerie and Hillary know all about it.
Obama strikes me as an unstable person who has to be “handled”. Constantly.
When they found out that Stevens was dead, there was an “Aw-Sh@t!” moment, Obama was incapacitated, and Valerie went to Hillary, who is the fixer supreme in a panic. That’s when the video meme was hatched. And Hillary issued her video email at 10:09 pm EST.
Even if he was staying away from the situation room to have plausible deniability, that theory cannot stand because it is his JOB to be in that situation room.
All this happened between 3:30 pm and 11:30 pm EST. The President was in the White House almost the entire time, except for a short time in the afternoon. He was not somewhere where he was unreachable.
Biden, Panetta, Dempsey and Petraeus, Hillary were all at hand—not ut of the country or in the hospital, etc.
Yet not one of these went to the situation room or checked in on the progress of the raid they all knew was in progress?
This stinks!
And why, when our embassy in Cairo had ALREADY been overrun and there were riots breaking out in 21 countries, and it was Sept. 11th of all days, did we NOT have military forces positioned where they could respond quickly? What if we had to evacuate Americans from Cairo?
Pretty soon, the Democrats are going to have issue an apology to the Nixon family. The utter failure of the President and his entire Cabinet in this debacle can no longer be ignored. Their cowardice, indifference and lying puts all of us in danger.
Mme Hillary talks to Greg Hicks a few hours later...no mention of video.
Obama calls Mme Hillary at 10 pm.
Hillary releases the statement about the video a half hour later.
My guess is that Obama was busy with Jarrett upstairs cooking up the video lie while the attack was still taking place. The underlings in the situation room didn't do anything because they needed an order from the CIC.
If he had simply issued a CBA order and told Panetta to “a)pull out all the stops” and “b)call me immediately if you require any further decisions from me” I wouldn’t care if he went to the Situation Room. But it is clear that he didn’t issue a CBA.
I think he had already flown out to Vegas and was partying with JZ and the crew...which is why he looked so blood shot when he made that speech the next morning.
That would have cost him the election for sure, so they cover for him and make up a narrative.
If the commander doesnt show up for duty...then he doesnt have to make any commands. Clearly he did NOT want to send in the cavalry. We need to find out WHY? Screw the video.
obama wasn’t in the situation room because he was busy dusting his peace prize, or staring at it.
I had to stop reading right there to protect my "political correctness" health, and my continued good standing at FR.

Romney remembers 9/11 on Twitter as Obama disgracefully begs for campaign volunteers (9/11/12)
Michelle Malkin on "Hannity" 9/12/12
Speaking of Michelle Malkin... why isn't she on Fox News anymore??
Obama was torn between ordering a military strike on fellow Muslims, or being publicly seen by top military, defense, and state advisors refusing to take the top brass advice to counter-attack to save Americans.
He did the only thing that he was trained to do. He was absent. That way, if they could cover up his absence, he doesn't have to be held accountable for striking the Muslims he was dealing with, or for being derelict as Commander-In-Chief.

Panetta and the General knew the truth hours after it happened. They then met with Obama. There are 2 possibilities:
1. They told Obama the truth and he decided to have the video story concocted. If so, they should have immediately resigned and then informed the appropriate members of Congress and the MSM.
2. They lied to Obama and came up with the video story themselves. If so, Obama should have immediately fired them as soon as he knew the truth.
If there was no pResident in the situation room on the night of Benghazi, who gave the ‘stand down order?’ ValJar?....has she assumed the pResident’s voice as well as his mind?
Gads! how I hate calling that creature our President....so I don’t!
Take your pick: Homosexual tryst; Post-homosexual tryst euphoria; cocaine; marijuana; drug; coward; having orgasms because watching American’s die at the hands of his Muslim masters sexually excites him; hiding in a closet.
Truth is, we don’t even know if he was in DC that night.
