Panetta is covering for Obama. Its like giving an alibi for a murderer by saying he was with you committing a drug transaction. Obama is going for the lesser of the evils here. He was fully involved but had no intention of saving anyone. All he wanted was all witnesses gone, anyone else killed and all evidence cleared and destroyed.
Obama had to order the “stand down”. He sure wasn’t walking around the WH before going to bed. He was in the Situation room giving orders for the RECON teams to “scrub the scene”. Remember the news org. found some documents. Obams team couldn’t even clean up the scene correctly. Was Stevens raped? Who really knows. Could be a smoke screen. Supposedly, several militants were killed. Who were they? Who cleaned it up. How many were killed and where were they located(two scenes). I think Panetta is stringing this out. There is more to this than “Obama was aloof”.
That's been his mo for years now.
His job responsibilities are always managed by someone else.Someone who actually has a clue what they are doing or Chicagoed their way in to the job.
If we find out who was really in charge which will be a musical chairs affair, we will find out who was really calling the shots that night if anyone.
If you don't order anything and are not there to contact,....did the tree really fall in the forest? MOre deny-ability. How plausible will be the result of the New Media vs. the Old Media. Who can do a better job of truth telling vs. hiding the truth.
