President Barack Obama reportedly refused to provide a direct answer to repeated questions on whether requests for help in Benghazi were denied as the attack was underway during an interview with 9News in Denver on Friday.
Kyle Clark, a reporter with 9News, posted the following message on Twitter:

We will update this story accordingly.

Check back for updates to this story.
The video says it all....Gregory Hines would be proud to have tap danced that good.

Thanks very much, however, Bret Baier and Jennifer Griffin both made clear that her sources are on the ground, and that the CIA didn’t and couldn’t make the call. It had to be higher.
Kirsten Powers was really forceful on the panel. She knows where the buck stopped.
I guess Obama can cross Colorado off of his “states he has in the bag” list..FINALLY some reporters with GUTS who are willing to ask the tough questions
Tonight I watched the CBS, NBC and ABC news shows and not a mention of anything with what happened. It is hard to beleive that the whole media is in the tank for Obama. America’s best days are behind us. Its time to get ready for the hell we will suffer the next 50 years.

OBAMA: If you take credit 4 GIVING ORDERS 2 KILL Bin Laden, You also take credit 4 GIVING ORDERS 2 STAND DOWN in #Benghazi” #nfl
No. Petraeus will not fall on his sword for 0bama.
The general already has. He too mouthed the lie that Benghazi was a response to the youtube video. The general is a loyal grunt, to whomever holds his orders.
it’s yours
I’ll have to re-quiz my husband on Patreaus. I know he’s never liked him and he’s stated valid reasons. It’s almost always a mistake for a top military man to take the CIA’s top spot, (a political appointment) with which he’s unfamiliar, and particularly under the Marxist’s regime.
CIA trying to shift blame to DoD. No doubt in my mind the last word came from the WH.
Well, NOBODY should do THAT!
They then proceeded to (mainly) sidestep the entire Libyan situation, with much wailing / gnashing of teeth here re Romney's 'missed opportunity' to stick the foreign policy knife in deeply.
And now, as this TREASON is finding the light of day, perhaps the mystery of that debate 'something' becomes clear as well.
Perhaps Mitt figured out, or was advised, to steer well clear of the entire CF and allow the MaggØt to hoist himself on his own traitorous petard ?
BTTT
That interview was devastating for Obama! I would love to have a body language expert analyze all the head bobbing...lol. The man was lying his backside off!! At one point his head was answering yes while his mouth was saying no or visa versa. I need to watch it again.
Onyx, I would love to hear what DrO has to say about this interview. Please show it to him when you get a chance and report back to us pretty please!!

“It’s almost always a mistake for a top military man to take the CIA’s top spot”
I agree with that wholeheartedly. There are so many spinning plates, assets, interwebs.
Nasty business.
Our intelligence assets were gutted by Clinton.
Benghazi reminds me of Mogadishu.
Zero did not deny that there were requests for help. He did not say there were none. He cannot "walk this back". A caller to Rush to day something like this would have to go to the President, as we would have to send armed troops into a sovereign nation.
It has to be Obama who denied the requests. When America finds this out, there better be hell to pay (by Zero), or else this country is too far gone.
45% of Americans are still going to vote for a guy who would watch them die at the hands of our enemies and do nothing.
That’s right...I forgot it was someone on the ground. Oh well....time will tell. I am inclined to think he has sold out too and said so in anther thread yesterday. Just praying that someone high up is going to come out and blow this thing wide open,
The old guard is retiring from the CIA and other places. Patriots need to remember that we need to have people in places who can keep the traitors in check...
First of all Petraeus did not make this statement, some unnamed sources provided this who was presumed to speak for the CIA. Petraeus remains silent.
Had he any remnant of honor or sense of duty he would have called a press conference laid the blame squarely on Obama's head and dared the White House to remove him. Would be a much bigger shitstorm than Elliot Richarson's resignation during the Watergate investigation.
So at a point in time when a slight shove could topple Obama or at least have huge consequences in the last 11 days before the election he cowers silently.
He has access to all the tapes, video, and written docs. Why hasn't he at least leaked them to the world? Maybe he should place a call to Bradley Manning to find out how it's done.
Finally this episode leads one to question both his strategic and tactical sense.
Audace! Tout l'audace!
