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?”

“It will be a long shot to get him impeached and removed, . . .”
It isn’t going to happen. The Republican House impeached Bill Clinton in 1998, but the Republican Senate did not convict in 1999. On the perjury charge, which should have been a no brainer, only 45 of the 55 Republicans voted to convict. All of the Democrats stood by their Commander in Chief. In today’s political environment I find it difficult to imagine the RINO Republican House Speaker Boehner allowing impeachment hearings under any circumstances. I’m 100% confident Harry Reid and a Democrat majority in the Senate will not convict Barack Obama of anything, particularly if a Republican House impeaches him. It takes a 2/3 majority in the Senate to convict.
With respect to the general staff of the armed forces, Obama has conducted an effective purge of the general officer corps over the past 6 years. The generals he has put in place are politicians who are more loyal to their patron than a 200+ year old piece of paper. Obama and his handlers made examples of McChrystal and Petraeus to show the other generals the penalty for not toeing the line. If Obama tries to assume dictatorial powers, we will find most of them willing accomplices, not defenders of liberty.
We need to directly interrogate 0bama.
Waterboarding is the only way to get the truth out of this POS.
It’s a good thing there are so few of them now.
“The chickens coming home to roost.”
Americans didn’t die during the Clinton impeachment. This is much more serious than Monica Lewinsky. BO will be found to have given the orders of not to help because he’s the only one that could being CIC. This is much, much worse.
Your remarks are right on the mark IMO.
Jason Chaffetz said today on Hannity’s radio program 3 people need to appear before Congress and answer questions: Obama, Clinton and Panetta.
“Jay Carney Unable to Answer Questions Regarding Alleged Benghazi ‘Stand Down’ Orders”
Or anything else.
If nothing else, it leaves a record of responses.
I’m still amazed that old gas bag valerie continues to fly under the radar. Expose the witch!
RedMDer has it, IIRC
Commanders don’t fight if there are no grunts to fight for them, and grunts won’t fight if they think no one in command has their back.
King Barry (peace be upon him) is only interested in getting to Reggie Love's bottom.
The presstitutes (OK, maybe somebody at Fox) needs to get this assclown on the record. Ask him if he knowingly lied to press/public or was he just a stooge parroting the official line?
The last hearing was a disaster. Too much posturing and speech-making belaboring the obvious. Maybe this time they'll ask relevant questions. All politicians are evil clowns. Republicans are the lesser evil.
I got it from potlatch :)
