So...all that hot air that Obama was intimate with the Benghazi attack

Panetta: Obama Absent Night of Benghazi

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta testified this morning on Capitol Hill that President Barack Obama was absent the night four Americans were murdered in Benghazi on September 11, 2012:

Panetta: Obama Absent Night of Benghazi

Panetta said, though he did meet with Obama at a 5 o'clock prescheduled gathering, the president left operational details, including knowledge of what resources were available to help the Americans under siege, "up to us."

In fact, Panetta says that the night of 9/11, he did not communicate with a single person at the White House. The attack resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.

Obama did not call or communicate in anyway with the defense secretary that night. There were no calls about what was going on in Benghazi. He never called to check-in.

The 5 o'clock meeting was a pre-scheduled 30-minute session, where, according to Panetta's recollection, they spent about 20 minutes talking a lot about the American embassy that was surrounded in Egypt and the situation that was just unfolding in Benghazi.

As Bill Kristol wrote in the month after the attack, "Panetta's position is untenable: The Defense Department doesn't get to unilaterally decide whether it's too risky or not to try to rescue CIA operators, or to violate another country's air space. In any case, it’s inconceivable Panetta didn't raise the question of what to do when he met with the national security adviser and the president at 5 p.m. on the evening of September 11 for an hour.

And it's beyond inconceivable he didn't then stay in touch with the White House after he returned to the Pentagon."

What's this you say??

General on Benghazi: 'We Never Received a Request for Support from the State Department'

And the buck stopped with.....who again??

Neither the secretary of defense nor the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff spoke to the secretary of state during the 8-hour attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012. At a Thursday hearing in the Senate, Republican Ted Cruz asked both Leon Panetta and Martin Dempsey, "In between 9:42 p.m., Benghazi time, when the first attacks started, and 5:15 am, when Mr. Doherty and Mr. Woods lost their lives, what converations did either of you have with Secretary Clinton?"

"We did not have any conversations with Secretary Clinton," Panetta responded.

"And General Dempsey, the same is true for you?" Cruz asked. Dempsey confirmed this. Watch the video below:

So...how's that "highest priority" of bringing those that were behind this TERRORIST ATTACK on the ANNIVERSARY of 911 coming along?

Press Conference with Walter Jones & Retired Military on HCR107

O look!

There are still two people who give a shit!

[sirs]

So you agree then that all that garbage by Hillary, Obama, and the Dems, about bringing to justice those terrorists that attacked and killed our people, along with trying to find out how this happened, could have been prevented, and who dropped the ball, was all BS.  I mean who gives a damn now, right?  Move on, nothing to see here.....oooo, look shiny over there

Everything that needs to be known about this is already known.
This is just seen as an opportunity for clowns like McCain, Cruz and Graham to play macho macho man, and silly rightwingers to continue in hissyfit mode.

[sirs]

Everything that needs to be known about this is already known.

Nope, not even close.  Here's a few things that still "need to be known", to better prevent this from happening again, and to help bring those to justice, those that attacked us.  Unless you're now on the train that doesn't give a damn about that either

- Who received the requests for more Security from the ambassador?
- Who was responsible for deciding not to send in assistance, when it was requested at the time of the attack?
- Why were measures not taken to bolster security on the anniversary of the greatest terrorist attack this country ever was hit with?
- Why wasn't the area secured immediately after the attack?
- Why was the FBI prevented from investigating immediately?

Just a few of the questions we'd be asking ANY president and their administration, D or R after their name

If killing the ambassidor , and some other Americans ,burning some embassy buildings makes no diffrence, does this make Al Quieda as an organisation sorry that they wasted their time doing it?

[Xavier_Onassis]

Al Qaeda is a lost cause.

Nothing they have done so far has enabled them to come even one baby step closer to overthrowing the Sauds, causing a unification of Islam under a caliph, or ending the cultural domination of the US and the West in the Muslim world.

[sirs]

Al Qaeda is a lost cause.

Yea, that's why they managed to killed the 1st american Ambassador in 30years.  that's why they're regrouping and rearming in multiple countries, because they're a lost cause

Yea, stick that head in the sand with the blinders on, to boot.  Sorry, Bin Laden was only the poster child.  He no longer was in operational command, so the big news of taking him out was great, but was in no way a "death blow" to AlQeada.  In fact, the current placating policies of this Administration, our "scheduled" withdraw of Iraq & Afghanistan, coupled with their blatant disrespect they have of Israel only emboldens them

Not to mention the above questions still go unanswered

Bravo

[Xavier_Onassis]

Stupid reasoning. Al Qaeda's purpose is not to kill ambassadors.They could kill every ambassador on the planet and still be no closer to their goals. Of course, the US needs to defend itself against these crazies.

The US has no more reason to suck up to Israel than it does to suck up to Armenia. I fail to see any reason whatever to go along with Netanyahu's evil plan to steal the West Bank from the Palestinians. I am neither pro Israel nor anti-Israel: there is no reason at all for any American to shamelessly suck up to a manipulating schemer like Netanyahu.
