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.

>>> “The United States military is not and should not be a global 911 service capable of arriving on the scene within minutes to every possible contingency around the world,” Panetta told the Senate Armed Services Committee. <<<

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

Some liberal idiots I know chalk it up to either the "fog of war" or "that's nothing compared to the thousands killed in Iraq." They don't seem to get it.

“Orders to prepare...” panetta

Total bull.

The standing order is to be prepared. The story here is that Obama did not sign the order to actually go into Libya for a rescue. Only Obama cold issue that order. He failed to save the lives that were lost. And left the other resent vulnerable to he same fate.

If Woods had Not broken orders and gone to the mission - many more lives would have been lost.

I’m gonna guess the 11th of every month is the day Obamuzzie goes to Camp David for fake skeet practice-—wouldn’t want to “spook” him while he’s practicing being DeadEyeDick.

Perhaps he didn’t care, or has some kind of “addiction,” or has chronic medical issue - or all three?

One difference, which MAY have made a difference was it was less than 2 months before the election.

“WHY. pray tell, is everyone apparently leaving petraeus out of this?”

Probably because he has allies in the Republican Party too. Can’t rock the boat in DC you know! Something might actually get fixed/accomplished if someone had the balls to do the right thing!

Well, maybe you can ask Ann Coulter then WHY HER MAN, MITT ROMNEY DIDN’T SPIKE THIS FACT IN THE DEBATES? HE LEFT IT ALONE.

It’s seems looking back that the guy wasn’t there. The sad thing is that the two ex-Seals probably gave their lives that allowed 30 or more Americans to evacuate and not be captured.

Then you have the hurricane...

It’s as though getting Obama a second term was mean’t to be.
