Was he in the sit room watching the feed or upstairs sleeping. If the latter, he would have known the next morning at the latest.

I pray the GOP pursues justice to the fullest in this case, and doesn't lose their nerve as they have in the past.

'Cause its gonna take all they've got if we're gonna get to the bottom of it - the left - democrat party, constituenties & media - will never yield for the truth.

Only the POTUS had the authority to act!

0bama was notified immediately and automatically when the Benghazi consulate triggered the "Imminent Danger Notification System" alert. He did nothing.

They confirm everything Col. Hunt said about automatic notifications to the WH and add more details.

There are three scandals here...

---------------------------------------------------------

Denial of requests for security were a dereliction of duty. The lies and misdirection about the "video" after the attack were fraud and malfeasance under the color of authority. The inaction during the attack was something more than that.

The failure to act during the attack is the direct equivalent of desertion IMO.

ONE man had the authority to act that night.

ONE man deserted his post!

0bama abandoned his post. 0bama Is A Deserter!

What did the president know and when did he know it?

I expect we'll get the answer to that right after we get the answer to, "Who hired Craig Livingstone?"

“When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal”...

Wow what a flashback - and how little things have really changed. Thanks, this will be a good history lesson (past and future).

I'd be willing to bet that if the truth,the whole truth and nothing but the truth were to be revealed it would make Watergate and Iran Contra look like picnics in the park by comparison.But there's not a single Bob Woodward,Carl Bernstein,John Dean *or* Sam Ervin to be found so the most that will come of it *might* be a 0.5% lowering of Osama Obama’s Gallup approval rating.

Hillary was a young attorney in the Watergate hearings who was fired for “unethical behavior as she helped prepare articles of impeachment against Richard Nixon...”

http://www.wnd.com/2008/04/60962/

Now she is directly involved in this Presidential scandal.

When the president of the United States commits high crimes and treason and then lies to the American people and conspires to hide it from congressional investigators and claims national security in an attempt to cover it up, not even his own party can save him.

Unfortunately that doesn't always seem to be the case. Spineless bastards in both parties saved Bill Clinton from being removed from office. Still Republicans run the House and should begin impeachment hearings ... even if it is likely Obama would not be removed from office irregardless of the offense.

The cover up is worse than the original crime. When the president conspires with others in government to lie to the American people and claim "national security" as a defense, the congress has a duty and precedent to get to the truth. Lying to the America people and ordering subordinates to lie in a cover up attempt is historically recognized as high crimes and treason and IS definitely an impeachable offense.

Jim, you are a wise man and I respect everything about you. And, as much as I agree with you, I must also point out that the chances of getting Obama impeached are about the same as an ice cube surviving in h%ll.

The gutless Republicans have a ton of justifiable reasons upon which to bring impeachment charges against Obama, but they will never do it. Given the political divide between the House and the Senate, any action the House might take to impeach will be quashed by the Senate. It will end up like Clinton, the sequel.

I want this Impostor and Fraud in Chief gone as much as most of the people on this site do but, the problem is that the partisanship in the Congress is sharply divided and there is no longer any "loyal opposition".

And, that sharp political divide has permeated across the country and created a huge political divide among "we, the people". So, how do you suggest we proceed to get rid of him? We know that Benghazi is increasingly becoming a huge scandal and it remains questionable how long the DBM and the Congress can pretend it never happened. We also know that his "re-election" was the result of another massive fraud that the DBM and Congress are also pretending didn't happen (with the exception of Col. West who, apparently, hasn't gotten the RNC's talking point memo).

So, what choices do we have? I have contacted my Congresscritter about a variety of reasons to impeach Obama and nothing has happened; and, he is in charge of the House Judiciary Committee!

Short of taking to the streets (*which is anathema to conservatives), I don't know what else we can do. What are your thoughts?

The Senate Rats and MSM are running interference on the after-event lie that Rice needed to obfuscate to protect secrets, but I agree that the pre-event reduction in security and during-event failure of Obama to grant cross-border authorization could justify impeachment, even if doomed in the Senate.

I am encouraged that “reach across the aisle moderates” Graham and McCain as well as Ayotte are speaking and acting as though they already know from classified briefings that Barry CAN BE convicted in the Senate. They are being that brave, IMO, risking accusations of racism and (gasp!) incivility.

There remains a measure of irony...
....Or at least a touch of poetic justice in the offing....

Seems I recall a young Yale-educated attorney (acting as counsel)....
None other than Hillary Rodham standing behind some of the House select committee members (Rodino... et als )...

It will be interesting to witness ---
When the "committee investigation" mechanism that began her political career...

....also (eventually) puts an end to the same.

I wish I could do my job the way the President does his: really half ass and incompetent, yet still winning praise and called a hero.....

Unfortunately, this isn't the 1970s. The media is in the tank for Obama, the Dems are open communists, the Repubs are liberals and Washington is under Chicago mob control. I fully expect that, unlike Nixon, Obama will be protected at all costs. If anyone tries to bring Obama down, well, the Chicago thugs know where that person lives, where his children go to school...you get the idea.

The current occupant of the oval office has already gotten a free pass. A brain-dead American public has already filed this away under “incomprehensible scandals.”
Now the media will playing Jingle Bells and the current occupant of the Oval Office will be singing to himself “what a bunch of a$$hole$ that elected me”

Jim:

Remember, Obama never had authorization to go into Libya from Congress and ignored the 90 day War Powers Act that liberals created to prevent rogue operations.

The Ambassador and men were there via an ILLEGAL WAR!!!!!!
