Said one source, “I don’t see a downside to sending FEST…if for no other reason than so no one could ask why we didn’t.”

Kennedy does NOT have the authority make that decision independently!

Petraeus at CIA or any 4 star could simply countermand any such instruction, if it did not originate at higher authority.

Under Secretary of State for Management is his official title.

Now, I’m not an expert, but that doesn’t sound like the kind of rank required to call off immediate emergency response to a terrorist attack.

From Wikipedia -

“Under Secretary for Management is a position within the American Department of State that serves as principal adviser to the Secretary of State and Deputy Secretary of State on matters relating to the allocation and use of Department of State budget, physical property, and personnel, including planning, the day-to-day administration of the Department, and proposals for institutional reform and modernization”

Now, according to that, his job is to advise the Secretary of State, and may have some independent influence on state department property and personnel. Could such a person have the authority to call of FEST?

I’d say malice since a Kennedy is involved. Then I recall the drug use and light fingers in the past and I’m moving to detached incompetence. In either case it all fits this administration.

Let’s see. . . he was born in 1949 and overdue for retirement. Yup, he can take the “fall” and be financially set for the rest of his life just like the IRS Director.

Who do these guys think they are fooling. . . the uninformed?

The incompetence of these career position employees as well as the current administration trying to cover up their own mistakes is “transparent.”

Weren’t we supposed to be getting a guy who could take the 03:00 o’clock call?

Where was Obama in all this? This was HIS call! He’s the Commander in Chief, and this was a high level incident involving our Ambassadorial staff and our military response to it.

This took place over nine hours, and Obambi couldn’t even take part? Is that it? He was too busy?

This is the sort of thing that gets managers axed. Here’s an incident which should be at the top of his priority, and he’s MIA. It’s so bad, you’d almost imagine the White House staff flying one of those little black flags in his absence.

This is dereliction of duty in the highest office in the land, and nobody but nobody is demanding to know why this ignorant adolescent wasn’t on the job.

Was he stuck in a bath-house? Where was he?

Payback time!

“During the U.S. Presidential election, 2008 Patrick F. Kennedy ordered State Department employees in Europe be barred from attending Sen. Barack Obama’s speech in Berlin on July 24, 2008 to ensure they displayed political neutrality. Kennedy labeled Obama’s visit as a partisan political activity and he forbade employees from attending.[2]”

Thank goodness they’re not blaming some political hack like Obama- who had the authority to decide...

NO ONE BUT OBAMA could have made a difference that night. NO ONE...except two brave Navy SEALs who died disobeying direct orders.
Every survivor from that facility owes their life to those men. They need to step up.

Is he the same Patrick Kennedy that is Teddy Kennedy’s son, and former Representative from Rhode Island? Wonder if he is being set up to take the fall on this? The Clintons and the Kennedy’s don’t like each other.

Well, Obama is off the hook, he's not a man and he doesn't command anything, never has unless you count the Baskin Robbins - (which was the only paying employment he's ever admitted to)

This is all B.S. In the armed forces, only one person ultimately is responsible and accountable — the commanding officer. Brokeback Obama, to the detriment of all freedom-loving Americans, is Commander-in-Chief, and therefore responsible and accountable.

The biggest question is: “Where was Brokeback in the hours before, during, and after the terrorist attacks?” Check the White Hut visitors log to see if one of his faggot lovers was on the premises that night. Also if his beard Moochelle was out of town. My bet is that Bathhouse Barry was playing hide the salami with a boyfriend (Reggie Love?) while his ambassador and three other brave men were being murdered.
