Andy McCarthy asks the question that FReepers have asked since 9/12/2012. I do hope Trey Gowdy will ask this too.

He was being put into his big boy jammies and given a nice cup of cocoa by Valerie Jarrett.

“It was the solemn duty of the president to come forward with not requests but commands for action”

That’s false, and that’s also why this hasn’t gone anywhere yet.

Sending light forces into urban combat is completely discretionary. It’s never a “duty”. The Commander-in-Chief has complete authority to do it or not to do it.

There are problems with the Benghazi story, and they may be great big ones. But the decision not to send troops isn’t one of them.

I feel so secure that when a US ambassador was being assassinated by a terrorist attack that the POTUS was AWOL from the crisis and nitwits like “Dude” Tommy Vietor were running things in the situation room.

Mr. Obama owes Americans a detailed answer

Apparently, he and his fellow communists in Congress and the Press don't agree.

And there isn't much the right can do about it, unless they start playing for keeps.

A General called Obama for what he is, a “coward”.

No one's asking...isn't the VP supposed to be available when the President isn't? And so on down the chain of command. Why didn't that happen if someone in the military couldn't get ahold of the president for a command?

Besides that, aren't there standing orders of what do do if there's something as serious as an attack on an embassy staff?

Obama didn’t need to be in the Situation Room. He would only need to be there if there was something else he needed to do. He had already agreed to the demands of the enemy and had surrendered in Benghazi. Sitting in the Situation Room would have been a waste of time and he needed his rest for that fundraiser in Las Vegas. Does anyone think that Al Qaeda would just let the Ambassador’s body go without something in trade? Does anyone think Al Qaeda would just let those 31 CIA employees go without something in trade? Obama agreed to our enemy’s terms and went to bed. He surrendered.

McCarthy asks the right questions. Let's hope the proposed Select Congressional Committee on Benghazi does as well.

For political reasons (Obama is part black, and therefore a politically protected species) they may not be able to impeach this criminally negligent and uncaring little turd, but at least they can expose the little Commie cockroach and his handlers to the light.

Obammy may give a speech on the matter of his where abouts during this but like so many other incidents it will be mostly LIES.

While I think the General was trying to do the right thing he full well knows that State is not in his chain of command. I wish congressman knew that.

**Of course, no one can answer to a commander-in-chief who abdicates his command, a commander-in-chief who is AWOL. A commander-in-chief does not get to vote “present.”**

When is Obortion O ever at the White House?

If the private of the guard deserts his post
during an attack; he is court-marshalled.

This CiC deserts his post when American
soil was under attack by terrorists,
he needs to be impeached.

AWOL POTUS? I wish. He’ll show up tonight at the correspondents dinner to have his ass firmly kissed by his adoring presstitutes.

Why isn’t the pink mafia up in arms over the rape and murder of one of their own, I wonder?
