Begin watching at 2:00 into the video to hear Democrat former CIA Director and Secretary of Defense under Obama during Benghazi speak about Hillary Clinton and say: "We need a President who's strong, and smart, and courageous, who enters the Oval Office with the respect of the generals and admirals who lead our military, with the confidence of diplomats who represent America, and with the trust of our troops who know that she will always have their back."

He did not discuss this:

The military didn’t trust nor like her husband. Why would they trust her?

Maybe she formed a bond with them when she landed under sniper fire. Oh, wait...

I was stationed at Travis AFB, CA in the early 90s. AF1 would often land to refuel when returning from the far east.

On two separate occasions they asked for volunteers to “catch” and refuel the plane arriving later that day. Something you’d think an airman would be honored to do. On both occasions they wound up needing to select the “volunteers”.

Leon Panetta was once a good man that America could trust.

When was that? He has, since the 1990's been a Clintonoid. He sold his soul to them long ago...

That soldier grasping the Hillary paw with his fingers crossed just published a new book, “My Ten Years on K.P.”

It’s been common knowledge since Bubba took office in 1993 that “the Clintons loathe the military”.

It’s ok. She said the security of the guys in Benghazi was ‘not her ball to carry’.

When the going gets tough, Hillary is reviewing Youtube videos, looking for an excuse.

I’ll have to check that book out. He wouldn’t release his name at the time the photo was taken.

And contrast that to when Dubya was in office. The Daily Dose of Dubya thread here on FR had hundreds of photos with beaming soldiers standing next to the President.

re: the night of the Benghazi attacks

Panetta deserves massive blame for the lack of response, he was the freakin’ Secy of Defense and right in the chain of command from the White House.

In trying to prop up Shrillary he continues to try to cover up his own shameless malfeasance. The call came, and neither Shrillary nor Panetta nor Obama “had the backs” of all our people in Benghazi.

Obama has claimed that he ordered forces to be deployed, and Panetta has NEVER been forced to explain whether Obama really gave that order (thus Panetta or someone the chain ignored it), or is it Obama that is lying? Or possibly some combination, i.e., Obama may well have given a more ambiguous “order” but in any case Panetta was Secy of Defense and failed utterly to ensure that necessary forces were deployed.

As has rarely been pointed out, it was not only 4 lives that were being sacrificed, for we very nearly lost close to 40 ppl and only the heroic measures by a small number on the scene prevented the much bigger bloodbath that Hillary, Panetta, and Obama had allowed.

Panetta should NOT have been getting a pass all this time.

Indeed she does. That makes it easier to stab them in the backs.

I think Gowdy said Panetta was less than truthful in his testimony. He is a weasel. Maybe someday we’ll find out, as Gowdy says, one wheel was not put in motion headed toward Benghazi. We shouldn’t have to wait though. Outrageous that anyone associated with making any decisions on that night is a candidate for the presidency.

My guess is Obama gave an ambiguous order but a follow up had to be confirmed and he was unavailable for the rest of the night. Kind of like the time Clinton was on the golf course and refused to take the call requesting to take out Bin Laden
