Reason was: Iran/Jimmy Carter decision. Go in and fail and it's political suicide. So... let them die and 'fog of war' confusion blame the video your way out of it.
Traitor Obama was focused on the blind Sheik
who he wanted to transfer back
to al Qaeda (his true friends).
That would explain the Las Vegas trip on September 12.
The decision had been made to let them die. So what else could be done? Go to Vegas!
Obama’s a coward and a traitor. He puts politics ahead of lives.
I totally agree with the caller. Obama knew what was going on and he did in fact lie about what he knew and when he knew it. The Lt Col is right on, and this needs to get out.
Donald Rumsfeld basically said the same thing yesterday.
I’m sure it went like this:
Panetta: “Mr. President?”
Obama: “Valerie?”
Valerie Jarrett: “The President feels direct action in Libya wouldn’t be prudent and regrets that he has to deny your request.”
It was chilling, passionate, professional testimony. I was impressed with the wealth of knowledge as I always am with our military. You got the sense it could have all been avoided and our guys were “chomping at the bit” to get it done.
I for one, am more infuriated than I was when the story broke. Obama’s non-response was political. I hope the Frankenstorm dies down so this story can get some attention.
Thanks for posting this.
Thanks for posting this. Incredible. I still believe there is much more to this than Obama just wanting to avoid the Jimmy Carter mistake. There are too many other dots that need connecting.
I heard it and he was correct.
That call was really good.
Except it wasn’t the emails...it was another separate alert that is made instantly on Top Secret channels when an Ambassador is in peril. Protocol dictates it is immediately relayed to TOTUS.
Incredible call. What I heard, and correct me if I’m wrong, that absent a direct no-go order from POTUS, they would have rescued these guys given their standing orders. Is he concluding that no one but Obama would have cancelled a rescue mission? If Obama did refuse to order any rescue, wouldn’t someone in his administration by now be willing to give up his career to get the truth out? There are a lot of players who would have been witness to this travesty -— no one among them is brave enough?
The guy sounded like he knew what he was talking about.
The notion that there was nothing they could have done is absurd.
I knew when I listened to it in real time this was bomb shell material.
I think the people below the high echelons must be furious and are looking for ways to clue in the American people. I doubt this guy called in on the regular caller line.
Good for Rush.
Also interesting what he said about the units that are ready to go at a moment’s notice. That stinking SOB McCain is running around today spreading the lie that the military wasn’t on alert so wasn’t available to respond.
I just heard this call listening to the replay of RUSH’s show.
I cannot believe that Obama refused to authorize even so much as an attempt to go in and try and rescue these people...
Thanks for posting this. I listened to it during the show and knew the truth was being spoken, just by the demeanor of the caller. It has to have been the Call of a Career for Rush. While I know it’s unlikely, the Romney campaign should make an ad of that and make it their exclusive placement for the balance of the campaign. Romney himself ought to open every appearace with that call and simply tell the crowd four years is enough of that, then walk off the stage.
Since the above is unlikely, how about some Congress critter with stones opening every day of a hearing into this with that call? Then call each likely suspect in for public questioning to respond to each point made in the call. Great political theater...
Intersting call and probalby contains a lot truth. Rush might have been a little quick accept a complete stranger’s asertions of bona fides, though.
Sickening, loathsome, banal, disgusting, abhorrent, ah hell, I despise these people!
Yup, and his majesty was informed. This is just like the communists black Muslim shoved America behind so he could play on our money. He gave billions to his communists friends and feels no shame. He is a real pig.
Now why didn't
1. Panetta go ballistic and resign,
2. Hillary go ballistic and resign,
3. Petraeus go ballistic and resign,
4. Any of the Joint Chiefs go ballistic and resign,
Well, 1 & 2 its pretty obvious they are corrupt venal amoral career politicians.
3 & 4 very disappointing but I guess not surprising in this day & age!
Panetta, I was thinking better of him, he protected agency people when Holder was going to put them in jail for doing a what a presidential finding had already said was legal, and he kept the focus going on the UBL raid. I guess his inner “fool” pulled him back to the dark side.
Now 2, Hillary another example of her utter incompetence when it comes to leadership, strategic awareness and political skills. If she would have resigned in a “big way” over this she could have “spun that” into her being a principled heroine. But no she ran for cover just like the rest of them! She is done as far as having a political future!
I have said before, 'What do people see in her?'. She has done nothing on her own! NOTHING!! !If you looked up the term "strap hanger" in the dictionary you would see her staring back ! (A ghastly sight!)
