Bengazi

[ronny]

I find myself puzzled and amazed at some of the names who seem to be circling their wagons with the POTUS. Can Clinton possibly believe her actions will work in her favor when she tries to make another run at the White House? Is Panetta really willing for this snafu to be his legacy? Will General Ham really take one for the POTUS? And, where is CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus?

I am not objective on anything this President does. However, even the most solicitous of his cronies are having a rough time answering questions. Mainly, they are all among the missing.

And, where is CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus?

Im surprised this has not been covered more by the Media.

Breaking news on Benghazi: the CIA spokesman, presumably at the direction of CIA director David Petraeus, has put out this statement: "No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ”*
So who in the government did tell “anybody” not to help those in need? Someone decided not to send in military assets to help those Agency operators. Would the secretary of defense make such a decision on his own? No.
It would have been a presidential decision. There was presumably a rationale for such a decision. What was it? When and why-and based on whose counsel obtained in what meetings or conversations-did President Obama decide against sending in military assets to help the Americans in need?*

Obama Refuses to Answer Whether WH Denied Benghazi Requests for Help

Below is the transcript of News9's exchange with the President:

KYLE CLARK: Were the Americans under attack at the consulate in Benghazi Libya denied requests for help during that attack? And is it fair to tell Americans that what happened is under investigation and we'll all find out after the election?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, the election has nothing to do with four brave Americans getting killed and us wanting to find out exactly what happened. These are folks who served under me who I had sent to some very dangerous places. Nobody wants to find out more what happened than I do. But we want to make sure we get it right, particularly because I have made a commitment to the families impacted as well as to the American people, we're going to bring those folks to justice. So, we're going to gather all the facts, find out exactly what happened, and make sure that it doesn't happen again but we're also going to make sure that we bring to justice those who carried out these attacks.

KYLE CLARK: Were they denied requests for help during the attack?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, we are finding out exactly what happened. 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.

What a POS!

 

[ronny]

My comment with regard to Petraeus centered around his statement - ("No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ”)

What, then, did the CIA tell anybody to do in defense of their own people?

 

[dennishoddy]

That's some amazing double speak to deflect the subject until after the election.
I don't think it's helping at this point.

 

[ronny]

At this rate, it's only a matter of time before some Representative utters the magic word "impeach". I expect Senate hearings this week.

Republicans in congress are already asking for an unedited copy of the drone video feed.

Senate hearings on Benghazi set for after election

[The Senate Intelligence Committee has scheduled a series of hearings to investigate the intelligence and security surrounding the Benghazi attacks that killed U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three diplomatic aides.

The panel, chaired by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), will hold a closed hearing on Nov. 15, with more hearings to come after that...]
