The security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up support from a Specter gunship, which is commonly used by U.S. Special Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams on the ground involved in intense firefights. The fighting at the CIA annex went on for more than four hours

It is probably going to come out that the President actually was not involved in the decision ,because he was unavailable due...

One of my first thoughts about why, in the the first stories that came out, it was said that Obama was not told until the next morning...was that he was either drunk, or drugged up (I suspect drugged...since it seems Obama's handlers keep him on drugs to avoid his total meltdown and his depression). In such a condition, they let him sleep...knowing he would make no sense, and could not be seen that way by the public.

Then came the information that the White House was told, in real time, what was happening...and that Obama went to bed, knowing the situation, while members of the Administration watched what was happening.

Since we can't get a clear statement about the when and who of this...The ONLY thing that is very obvious is that:

For some reason no one wants the American public to find out just when the President was told and what his first reaction was. I suspect, as you do LeoWindhorse, that Obama was not in the condition to be disturbed, speak, or act in a Presidential manner.

So, there are two cover-up issues here that need to brought to light: The lie about the film. And the lies about who knew what when, where, and how. In other words...There is a cover-up of the cover-up, and I believe it has to do with Obama's condition at the time this all took place.

All the President's Men was on TCM last night. Aside from the use of campaign funds for some clearly illegal activity, seemed like the majority of what was going on is SOP these days.

Now I was only on active duty in NavSpecWar for 5 years, but it was imprinted deeply upon my brain that ONLY the POTUS can give cross-border permission. Probably a million living ex-military officers know this like they know 2+2=4. So this Benghazi fiasco is Obama’s baby 100% and there is no way for him to wiggle out.

The system is designed to ENSURE that when a crisis is happening, (and a missing ambassador with a consulate under attack in Libya is “Crisis Level Infinity”), and military assets are already charging in to the rescue, the president must be in the loop to grant the the cross-border authorization. Nobody else can do this. This one formality must be followed, “just put your intitials here, Mr. President, for history,” so to speak. Boiler plate, but it must be done.

The POTUS has to tell the Sec. State and JCS, “Yes, do it, execute the rescue, cross the borders.” Then it WILL happen, without delay, since the military is already on the way, flying in from all directions toward Benghazi.

(Can you imagine Reagan or either Bush saying “No. Cross border permission not granted. Stop the rescue. Stand down.”)

But if POTUS says at 5pm DC time, “No military action, no cross border,” and then he becomes “unavailable,” then his last standing order stands until he changes it. So if he went to bed, for example, nobody could change his standing orders.

I imagine that a lot of extreme military, CIA and State Dept. craziness was going down while Obama was sleeping. Aircraft must be told proceed, or return to base, or they fall from the sky. I imagine many HEATED arguments around the globe on phone, text and email, subject, “Well wake the damn president up!” Followed by, “I can’t! You MUST stand down the mission!”

Just imagine dozens of inbound planes, jets and helos. Ships moving at full speed into position to be “lilypads” for long-range over-water helo refueling. Airborne refueling tankers all head to the area. It’s a complicated ballet. The Pentagon is wide awake, the military is on full alert. The rescue is in process, from the first minutes after the alarm.

Everybody in all the planes and involved HQs knows how many minutes/miles to the Libyan border, Benghazi, and their “bingo fuel” moment, when they must turn around or run dry and crash. Ships can “loiter,” but planes fall from the sky.

So you can imagine why General Ham of Africom was (if true) relieved for refusing to stand down. He probably KNEW Obama was “unavailable,” and was screaming over the phone, “Well, wake him up, dammit!!”

Planes and jets and helicopters and ships and commando teams are zooming all around the central Med, keying in on Benghazi——

And in that environment, OBAMA WAS ASLEEP AND UNREACHABLE!!!!!

Resting up for Las Vegas! With a MISSING AMBASSADOR, in Al-Queadatown!

No wonder General Ham didn’t want to stop the rescue. He knew the derelict captain was not on the bridge of the ship of state.

Losing the election is something.

"I care not who votes, I care who counts the votes" - Josef Stalin

My fear is that a 13 point Romney victory in real votes, will be turned into a 5 point 0bama win by the vote counters and the Venezuelan voting machines.

I just can’t imagine why Panetta is going along with it.

I think the sh!t is going to hit the fan before election day.


Panetta = Clinton stooge

Fan debris . Hope it’s heavy, and sticks.

But Clinton isn't in the WH. This guy, Barry, hates the Clintons.

Why is Panetta ending a mostly successful career by covering for the traitor, Obama?

Something is beginning to happen:

He also replaced generals and admirals who refused to stand down-

Admiral Gouette.....

Now regarding General Ham, his XO relieved him of his command within a minute... I’ll say it again...”WITHIN A MINUTE”.... This smells of a preplanned action... The WH knew Gen Ham would deploy forces, so the WH had the XO ready to execute the stand down orders.
