If I understand chains of command, the ‘derangement’ would have had to have been at the top. Junior Joes down the line undoubtedly did their reporting up, but couldn’t act.
Wasn’t this also the night that Obama went to bed at 11 PM EST, when the presumed ultimate killing was at 3 AM EST?
If the president would have been in line to receive continuing updates, as Col. Hunt reports, I wonder whom if anyone he delegated the receiving to—and if whomever had any authority to act or escalate (or interrupt his sleep).
Somehow I imagine Valerie the Iranian receiving updates and immediately moving them to the trash bin on her computer.
Libya is 6 hours ahead of EST. The attack began about 9:30 PM Libyan time which would have only been 3:30 PM EST. Obama would have been golfing about that time - not in bed.
“Wasnt this also the night that Obama went to bed at 11 PM EST, when the presumed ultimate killing was at 3 AM EST?”
Yes, I believe this is the case. Obama went to bed knowing the embassy was attacked. We have the literal 3 am call here reporting a United States ambassador MIA and barry hit the snooze bar.
The POTUS was in his jammies getting his beauty sleep and the US govt was paralyzed. Classic obama being unengaged and leading from behind. Nothing new.
What did the POTUS know and when did he know it? The American people need some answers from the President.
“Wasnt this also the night that Obama went to bed at 11 PM EST, when the presumed ultimate killing was at 3 AM EST?”
And Obama woke up to learn of the death of Ambassador Stevens, we were told.
Bad enough, BUT if randita’s statement is factually accurate (post 26)...:
“Libya is 6 hours ahead of EST. The attack began about 9:30 PM Libyan time which would have only been 3:30 PM EST. Obama would have been golfing about that time - not in bed.”
WHO was in the WH situation room watching and listening while this attack was taking place? If Obama wasn’t present, how many times was he updated during those 6 hours?
