If this is the best story, at this point, that they can come up with, think what the truth must be.
I think the bastard himself was pulling all the strings, making bad decision after bad decision.
The decisions were so bad that the only way to shield him is to say he magically vanished, wasn't there and had nothing to do with anything.

A congressional investigation needs to be started on where the hell was he and why.
Make them trip over their latest pile of lies damn-it.

Your take is Panetta is LYING FOR Obama? Like Rice lied for him? Too bad the suck-ups at the New York Times aren't even casually interested. They might wind up with a metaphorical picture of John Edwards child - and everyone will be laughing at the Time's lame attempt to do a cover up for their lover - Obama... Is the Washington Post still sitting on their hands?

It’s time to stand up to Barack Obama. He is responsible for this. The President is in charge of all departments below him. He is the CIC, not Hillary, not Panetta. Time to force his testimony under oath with the ability to prove that he is lying under oath.
