Panetta: Obama Absent Night of Benghazi Daniel Halper February 7, 2013 12:05 PM

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta testified this morning on Capitol Hill that President Barack Obama was absent the night four Americans were murdered in Benghazi on September 11, 2012:

Panetta said that Obama left operational details, including knowledge of what resources were available to help the Americans under siege, "up to us."

In fact, Panetta says that the night of 9/11, he did not communicate with a single person at the White House. The attack resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.

Panetta said that, save their 5 o'clock prescheduled meeting with the president the day of September 11, Obama did not call or communicate in anyway with the defense secretary that day. There were no calls about what was going on in Benghazi. He never called to check-in.

Axelrod and his family are treacherous people connected to the communist links in Chicago that extend to the Dunham family communists in Hawaii going back to Aug 1941 and before. I believe that the Chicago communist cell(s) in Chicago were in on the scheme with publicized Moscow communists to put Obama into the POTUSA. I wish I could be living when all this unfolds in the annals of history.

“Leon Panetta is lying for the cowardous bastard...”

This is exactly my reaction - wonder what “pressure” they had to use and what goods they had on him.

George Bush (and Cheney)would have been sitting beside his his Sec. of Defense and the generals and wouldn’t have slept one wink with that going on. Hussein is a wuss.

Obama should at the very least be held personally responsible for the murders of Tyrone Woods and Glenn Doherty.

And if it turns out that this was a planned event, then he should also be held responsible for the murders of Chris Stevens and his bodyguard.

That should be 2 life sentences at the minimum.

I’m sorry but the American people simply don’t care.

Maybe if it was before the election but probably not even then.

More would care if they knew but they will never hear it on the news and the GOP will not press the matter.

This is not the country most of us remember.

I think there were enough beans spilled, dots connected, dots that will be connected to impeach the bastard.
The right has to hit hard now, as hard as it takes.

No Word from Hillary During Benghazi Attack

Panetta, Dempsey did not speak to Clinton.

12:55 PM, Feb 7, 2013 • By MICHAEL WARREN

Neither the secretary of defense nor the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff spoke to the secretary of state during the 8-hour attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012. At a Thursday hearing in the Senate, Republican Ted Cruz asked both Leon Panetta and Martin Dempsey, “In between 9:42 p.m., Benghazi time, when the first attacks started, and 5:15 am, when Mr. Doherty and Mr. Woods lost their lives, what converations did either of you have with Secretary Clinton?”

“We did not have any conversations with Secretary Clinton,” Panetta responded.

“And General Dempsey, the same is true for you?” Cruz asked. Dempsey confirmed this.

He had to get some beauty rest before his trip to Vegas. Too bad it didn’t work.
