Tommy Vietor – Former NSA Spokesman – Admits Obama Never Made it to Situation Room During Benghazi Attack
Now we know that Barack Obama was in the White House but NEVER MADE IT to the Situation Room the night of the Benghazi Attack on 9-11 2012. This was after Islamists stormed the US Embassy in Cairo earlier in the day.
Obama never made it to the Situation Room. Tommy Vietor was there. Obama wasn’t.
Tommy Vietor: I was in the Situation Room that night. Ok. And we didn’t know where the ambassador was. Definitively.
Bret Baier: Was the president in the Situation Room?
Vietor: No…
Baier: Where was the president.
Vietor: In the White House.
Baier: He wasn’t in the Situation Room.
Vietor: Uhh. At what point in the evening. He was constantly… It’s well known that when the attack was first briefed to him it was in the Oval Office. And he was updated constantly…
Baier: Sp then when Hillary Clinton talks to him by phone at 10 PM, he’s where?
Vietor: I don’t know. I don’t have a tracking device on him in the residence.
Baier: But you were in the Situation Room and he wasn’t there.
Vietor: Yes.
I know the Katrina guy is there somewhere, just don’t see him.
ROFL ROFL
So....where the he## was he?
“I always thought the pic looked photoshopped.”
That was the Bin Laden hit.
************
That was prolly photoshopped, too.
He was most likely in his private quarters with his boyfriend Reggie Love.

I’ve thought that for a long time. That’s why it’s such a deep dark secret just where the heck Obama was during the crisis. All the white liberals would think it was terrific to find out that Obama’s gay, but it would LOSE his black base. Culturally, American blacks don’t like or respect gay black people. Plus all the middle of the road types would have the instant “ew” factor. Anyway, I’m sure he waved his wittle hand at Valerie Jarrett, said, “Handle this,” and waltzed off to get coked up with Reggie. Valerie wouldn’t allow anyone to interrupt them because she knew they were not only getting it on but high as kites. And Obama was the only one who could give the cross the border order. So . . . brave men died, and many others almost joined them. And it’s all a dark secret, because the big O had to have his big O that night.
Dude?........as far as I am concerned, “dude’s” eyes looked like he was a deer in a headlight or stoned. Either way, he is a prime example of the scum permeating the WH.
Ask Reggie, or the supplier of little bastard boy’s crack cocaine.
Stoned...
No, I want someone...ANYONE...to ask this skinny @zz fool, preferably under oath.
Interesting interview to watch. You see Vietor look away and you know he’s thinking “Oh oh. I just screwed this one up.”
Yes. He answered “yes” very quickly when asked if Obama was in the situation room and it seemed like he was trying to protect Obama from being anywhere near where the bad decisions were supposedly made. But then quickly he got that “uh oh” look on his face which seemed to reflect that by saying Obama wasn’t there he was giving credence to those who say that Obama was disengaged or not at all interested in what was happening in Benghazi that night.
Reggie was off but there as was the 10 year old boy
Later in that interview Vietor said: “I was one of the ones in the room who briefed Ambassador Rice for her Sunday TV show.”
Brett did not follow up.
Interesting. And of course not a surprise.
We only know that Obama was in the White House if we can trust what Vietor said about Obama being in the White House. Vietor was likely assuming Obama was in the White House. Vietor claimed Obama was briefed about the attack in the Oval Office. The questions should be:
1. Who briefed Obama?
2. Did that person brief Obama face to face or via phone?
3. If that person briefed Obama face to face, what was Obama’s demeanor and reaction? (Was Obama calm, lucid, and sober?)
4. What did the person who briefed Obama say? (Was it Vietor? Clinton? Or some mythical person?)
5. What was Obama’s reaction?
6. What did Obama say?
7. What was Obama doing that was so important that he did not make his way to the Situation Room despite the nation being under attack?
After listening to this unqualified lying punk, I do not believe a word he says. How can we assume Obama was not in the situation room? Because this “dude” says so? Maybe he was and gave the order to stand down.
You can’t believe a damn thing anyone in this administration says.
There is only one qualification to work for Obama. You have to be able to lie all the time and be a total hack.
“Were they denied requests for help during the attack?” he asked... .

“Well, we are finding out exactly what happened,” the president again said. “I can tell you, as I’ve said over the last couple of months since this happened, the minute I found out what was happening, I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to. Number two, we’re going to investigate exactly what happened so that it doesn’t happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice. And I guarantee you that everyone in the state department, our military, the CIA, you name it, had number one priority making sure that people were safe. These were our folks and we’re going to find out exactly what happened, but what we’re also going to do it make sure that we are identifying those who carried out these terrible attacks.”Everything he says is in past tense. He is cornered and has no teleprompter. I believe he was AWOL after the 6PM email that stated that the attack had stopped and the consulate cleared.
Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to.
So if the very first "order" was to do whatever we need to. Then why wasn't thank done? Who did he give that directive to? Why didn't he answer the question with "We couldn't get help there in time?" Or whatever the spin is now.
He had the Do Not Disturb sign on the bedroom door of Reggie because this was supposed to be hostage taking for a October negotiation for Stevens release to make him look good for November....
If that is true then it makes sense because no one could give the authority to launch an international cross border military action but the CIC so all they could do was tell them to stand down.
And I guarantee you that everyone in the state department, our military, the CIA, you name it, had number one priority making sure that people were safe. You lie!
Then we have Panneta's testimony where he cooberates Zippo's first directive and also the fact that he never saw Zippo after that.
Several committee Republicans pressed Panetta and Dempsey about their discussions with President Barack Obama on that fateful day and his level of involvement, suggesting that after the initial conversation the commander in chief was disengaged as Americans died.And further more why was Hillary out at 10:00PM to inform us that Stevens was dead and not Zippo, where was he? < /rhetorical >Panetta said he and Dempsey were meeting with Obama when they first learned of the Libya assault. He said the president told them to deploy forces as quickly as possible.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., questioned whether Panetta spoke again to Obama after that first meeting. The Pentagon chief said no but that the White House was in touch with military officials and aware of what was happening.
"During the eight-hour period, did he show any curiosity?" Graham asked.
Panetta said there was no question the president was concerned about American lives. Exasperated with Graham's interruptions, Panetta said forcefully, "The president is well-informed about what is going on; make no mistake about it."
At one point in the hearing, Graham asked Panetta if he knew what time Obama went to sleep that night. The Pentagon chief said he did not.
The main point in all this is that only, ONLY, the CIC can order a cross border military action. It has never been mentioned that he OK’d such action, whether it was feasible or not he would have authorized it before that was known.
