Jay Carney Unable to Answer Questions Regarding Alleged Benghazi ‘Stand Down’ Orders
The Blaze ^ | May 6, 2013 | By ecket Adams

Posted on 05/06/2013 3:41:09 PM PDT by Brad from Tennessee

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney on Monday was unable to answers questions regarding Gregory Hicks, deputy chief of mission for the U.S. in Libya, saying recently that U.S. Special Forces were told to “stand down” during the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks in Benghazi.

“The Department of Defense has addressed this,” Carney said in response to Ed Henry’s question about the alleged “stand down” order. “I don’t have access to the interviews that I think have been referred to and some of the news reports.”

Carney continued, arguing that the official response to the attacks has already been thoroughly examined by the Accountability Review Board and White House officials.

“[Greg Hicks] is challenging the credibility of the White House,” Henry persisted. “You don’t care about what he’s saying? Do you think he’s lying?”

I believe Ozone auditioned many, many lairs for this position before he chose Carney.

Who cares? Charge 4 counts of murder and make them all sweat. We’ll get the truth.

I think it would be harder to lie like he does, if the PRESS would call him on the lies, one reporter challenging him isn’t a problem, ALL of them would be.

Lamestream media when repubs are pres.—

pres: The sky is blue

Press: YOU’RE LYING

lamestream press with dims—

King Berrie: The moon is made of cheese, I know, I’ve been there.

Press: IT’S TRUE!!! IT’S TRUE!!! if you don’t believe it YOU’RE RACIST..

king berrie LIES and the press SWEARS to it.

When Carney first started as press secretary, he was nervous, tentative and unsure of himself. Now that he's become accustomed to telling lies day after day, he hardly even flinches as the whoppers roll of his tongue.

The lamestream are on his side.
The lamestream got him elected, twice.
Aside from Fox News, talk radio, Free Republic and the new media, journalism is dead in this country.

Sounds like OBozo's little song and dance man, Carney, is all out of songs and has nothing left to dance with.

Pity, pity, pity.

If there was no ‘stand down’ order from 0bama, then it’s ‘negligent homicide’ or dereliction of duty on his part. No way around that. He can’t say he didn’t know an assault was under way.

Line up the treasonous SOB's all the way up the ladder and give 'em a good tar and feathering before handing them over to law enforcement.

Jay Carney ain’t no Ron Ziegler:

“This is the operative statement. The others are inoperative.”

“If my answers sound confusing, I think they are confusing because the questions are confusing and the situation is confusing.”

“The president is aware of what is going on in Southeast Asia. That is not to say that there is anything going on in Southeast Asia.”

No need to ask if they were told to stand down, ask if Obama ever gave the Cross Border Authority. He either did or he didn’t, and we all know he did not.

Well, he certainly couldn’t say “President Jarrett issued the order” now, could he?

You got that right, the media has become a total fraud, just like the fraud in the white hut.

Wasn’t it Hilary Clinton who tried to take Obama to task over the “3AM phone call”? Now she’s deeply involved in the coverup over a 3AM phone call and SHE was secretary of state at the time. I think she has the goods on Obama. Otherwise, he’d have thrown her under the bus months ago.

"Carney said in response to Ed Henry’s question ..."

I like Ed Henry. He is a Take No Prisoners type. We need more like him. No wonder he didn't fit in at CNN. Fox is lucky to have him.

We need to directly interrogate 0bama.

Obama should be sent to Gitmo.... as an enemy detainee.
