Retired Lt. Col.: My Sources Say Obama Was in the Room Watching Benghazi Attack Happen
The Blaze ^ | October 28, 2012 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Posted on 10/28/2012 5:32:22 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

Retired Army Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer said Saturday he has sources saying President Barack Obama was in the room at the White House watching the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya unfold.

Two unarmed U.S. drones were dispatched to the consulate and recorded the final hours of the attack, which killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

“This was in the middle of the business day in Washington, so everybody at the White House, CIA, Pentagon, everybody was watching this go down,” Shaffer said on Fox News’ “Justice with Judge Jeanine.” “According to my sources, yes, [Obama] was one of those in the White House Situation Room in real-time watching this.”

Shaffer served as a senior operations officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency in Afghanistan in 2003 and wrote a book critical of the policies there. The U.S. government purchased the entire print run for $47,000 in an attempt at censorship just before its 2010 publication, claiming it contained classified material.

Shaffer said the question now is what precisely Obama did or didn’t do in the moments he saw the attack unfolding. The CIA reportedly made three urgent requests for military backup that were each denied...........

Four Americans left to die in direct enemy fire when something could have been done?

In my opinion it is clearly MURDER.

They must resign: Obama, Biden, Clinton, Panetta. If I were a prosecutor, I would indict them on murder charges.

maybe barry knew he was watching a group of Russian-Iranian (or Morsi) backed mercenaries (not “terrorists”) take down a Benghazi based clandestine not-authorized-by-Congress US weapon smuggling (or anti-smuggling) operation to Syria

Maybe barry or his man John Brennan got word from Russia, Iran, or ?? to not interfere in an act of frontier justice designed to wipe out inept extra-legal US meddling

Maybe barry’s inner circle indeed knew this was not “terrorism” but cover for a state sponsored attack on a clandestine US paramilitary operation, to protect the interests of Syria, a client of Iran and Russia - and to send lil’ barry a message

If these weapons were going from Benghazi to Syrian jihadis with MB/al Qaeda links, then why would “al Qaeda” take it down?

Robbery? Lack of adequate payoff to somebody? blood revenge by pro-0addafis?

Or was the US trying to control or staunch the weapons flow out of Libya? In that case who was the more powerful actor that eliminated the US effort at control? Morsi?

Tom Clancy could have written this one

Whatever happened seemed to have give our CinC a bad case of the buckwheats

I was wondering that myself! Maybe he got an offer he couldn’t refuse? Drudge doesn’t strike me as the bravest cat under a hat...

Another who I thought would be all over this but hasn't put a thing out about it, is Alex Jones.

Something very strange is going on here, IMO.

Drudge has pulled everything concerning bengahzigate

Curious indeed...

Matt moves in mysterious ways sometimes.

IMHO this story breaks wide open after 11/6. It wouldn't suprise me we see Ford like pardons out of Romney just to put it behind us, it gets so ugly.... Yes I am an outlier with that thought, but I am usually way ahead of the curve...

Yep, it’s what I’m thinking. Can’t imagine why though. Drudge does run many of his stories, that is the only link that I know of.

I may not agree with Mitt on all of the issues; but at an absolutely critical time for the future of our great republic, I am beginning to think he is just the type of leader we need to navigate the chaos and evil. His campaign has been, in retrospect, very smart. You can’t fix it if you don’t get elected.

The CIA reportedly made three urgent requests for military backup that were each denied

But during the Presidential debates on October 22-

"as I indicated in the last debate, when we received that phone call, I immediately made sure that, number one, that we did everything we could to secure those Americans who were still in harm's way"

Soooooo first he says the call for help was received and help sent and NOW he says they didn't get any calls for help at all

Yet the CIA says they did.

ESH! Treason makes my head hurt.

Either Obama was fully appraised or should have been. That’s not the question

The question is, “Mr. President, why didn’t you send units to help after the attack started, given that you didn’t know how long it would last?”

Keep in mind that this could have gone on for 12-24 hrs, and at hour 7 they still hadn’t done anything.

Yes, our POTUS is a traitor.

It doesn’t get any worse than this. And yet he’s still in the high 40% range in the polls. If Obama wins everything our ancestors fought for is lost.

I have seen some claim that Alex Jones is a propaganda arm for Russian intelligence.
