Obama had a telephone conference scheduled with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Guess we need to recruit the Daily Mail in the UK to vet this statement, obviously the media here doesn't care.

Not buying this VJ taking the sword for Obama, he was intentionally distancing himself. They are symbiotic.

I’ve thought for a very long time, since last September, that this had her fingerprints all over it. Doesn’t and wouldn’t surprise me IF this was 100% true.

So have I. It makes sense to me that the Iranian born Jarrett wouldn't give orders to attack Muslims.

It would also make sense to me that Obama had no idea what to do when the Benghazi compound was attack.

Obama on the night of 9/11/12: "Uh, uh........I don't know. Val could you deal with this? I've got a big day tomorrow."

““Cross Border Authority”, an order that can only be issued by the Commander in Chief himself: this authority was denied twice, and Obama wasn’t in the room at the time...”

Didn’t I read here yesterday, that there was a C-130 Gunship already in country?

Once it became horribly obvious that the master planned Barry O election booster event wasn’t going as planned, Val told Barry to go play his xbox or watch sportscenter. “Do some blow, torch some bud. You gotta big day tomorrow kid.” These evil cretins belong in chains.

The combat code of the US Military is that we don’t abandon our dead or wounded on the battlefield. In US Air Force lingo, fighter pilots don’t run off and leave their wingmen. If one of our own is shot down, still alive and not yet in enemy captivity, we will either come to get him or die trying. Among America’s fighting forces, the calm, sure knowledge that such an irrevocable bond exists is priceless. Along with individual faith and personal grit, it is a sacred trust that has often sustained hope in the face of terribly long odds.

The disgraceful abandonment of our Ambassador and those brave ex-SEALs who fought to their deaths to save others in that compound is nothing short of dereliction-of-duty. Additionally, the patently absurd cover-up scenario that was fabricated in the aftermath was an outright lie in attempt to shield the President and the Secretary of State from responsibility.

It has been over eight months since the attack on our compound in Benghazi. The White House strategy, with the aid of a “lap dog press” has been to run out the clock before the truth is forthcoming. The recent testimonies of the three “whistle blowers” have reopened the subject and hopefully will lead to exposure and disgrace of those responsible for this embarrassing debacle.

It would appear that the most recent firewall which the Administration is counting on is the contention that there were simply no military assets that could be brought to bear in time to make a difference… mainly due to the unavailability of tanker support for fighter aircraft. This is simply BS, regardless how many supposed “experts” the Administration trot out to make such an assertion.

The bottom line is that even if the closest asset capable of response was half-way around the world, you don’t just sit on your penguin ass and do nothing. The fact is that the closest asset was not half-way around the world, but as near as Aviano Air Base, Italy where two squadrons of F-16Cs are based.

Consider the following scenario (all times Benghazi local):
-When Hicks in Tripoli receives a call at 9:40 PM from Ambassador Stevens informing him “Greg, we are under attack!” (his last words), he immediately notifies all agencies and prepares for the immediate initiation of an existing “Emergency Response Plan.”
-At AFRICON, General Carter Ham attempts to mount a rescue effort, but is told to “stand down.” By 10:30 PM an unarmed drone is overhead the compound and streaming live feed to various Command and Control Agencies… and everyone watching that feed knew damn well what was going on.
-At 11:30 PM Woods, Doherty and five others leave Tripoli, arriving in Benghazi at 1:30 AM on Wednesday morning, where they hold off the attacking mob from the roof of the compound until they are killed by a mortar direct hit at 4:00 AM.

So nothing could have been done, eh? Nonsense. If one assumes that tanker support really was not available… what about this:
-When at 10:00 PM AFRICON alerts the 31st TFW Command Post in Aviano Air Base, Italy of the attack, the Wing Commander orders preparation for the launch of two F-16s and advises the Command Post at NAS Sigonella to prepare for hot pit refueling and quick turn of the jets.
-By 11:30 PM, two F-16Cs with drop tanks and each armed with five hundred 20 MM rounds are airborne. Flying at 0.92 mach they will cover the 522 nautical miles directly to NAS Sigonella in 1.08 hours.
-While in-route, the flight lead is informed of the tactical situation, rules of engagement, and radio frequencies to use.
-The jets depart Sigonella at 1:10 AM with full fuel load and cover the 377 nautical miles directly to Benghazi in 0.8 hours, arriving at 1:50 AM… which would be 20 minutes after the arrival of Woods, Doherty and their team.
-Providing that the two F-16s initial pass over the mob, in full afterburner at 200 feet and 550 knots did not stop the attack in its tracks, only a few well placed strafing runs on targets of opportunity would assuredly do the trick.
-Were the F-16s fuel state insufficient to recover at Sigonelli after jettisoning their external drop tanks, they could easily do so at Tripoli International Airport, only one-half hour away.
-As for those hand-wringing naysayers who would worry about IFR clearances, border crossing authority, collateral damage, landing rights, political correctness and dozens of other reasons not to act… screw them. It is high time that our “leadership” get their priorities straight and put America’s interests first.

The end result would be that Woods and Doherty would be alive. Dozens in the attacking rabble would be rendezvousing with “72 virgins”… and a clear message would have been sent to the next worthless POS terrorist contemplating an attack on Americans that it is not really a good idea to “tug on Superman’s cape.”

Of course all this would depend upon a Commander In Chief that was more concerned with saving the lives of those he put in harm’s way than getting his crew rest for a campaign fund raising event in Las Vegas the next day. As well as a Secretary of State that actually understood “What difference did it make?”, or a Secretary of Defense whose immediate response was not to the effect that “One of the military tenants is that you don’t commit assets until you fully understand the tactical situation.” Was he not watching a live feed from the unarmed drone… and he didn’t understand the tactical situation? YGBSM!

Ultimately it comes down to the question of who give that order to “stand down?” Whoever that coward turns out to be should be exposed, removed from office, and face criminal charges for dereliction of duty. The combat forces of the United States of America deserve leadership that really does “have their back” when the chips are down.

Barry was reportedly deep in her dog house for greenlighting the Bin Laden raid. So the timeline makes sense.

Only FOREIGN news sources have reliability and truthfulness to INVESTIGATE , and report the news.
The domestic news sources await press briefings , or announcements on MSNBC (the official voice of the White House).

Not surprised, but still, at the end of the day, the SOLE responsibility rests on the president’s shoulders. ALONE! He could have said or done anything he wanted, so he CANNOT hide behind someone else’s skirt.

Rush is opening with this today, clearly making the double point that “stand down” and “cross border authority” can *only* be given from the top, from obama.

Don’t forget the threads we have where thighness somehow wound up bumping her head in a crash just inside Iran. And the Specialist that was killed in that crash.

Turning football over to Commie Iranian = dereliction of duty of the highest order.

And the WHY. Was someone worried any incoming air support might be shot down? Would anyone want that on the news right before the election?

Is he? Well, good for Rush! It's about freakin' time.

Only the POTUS had the authority to act!

0bama was notified immediately and automatically when the Benghazi consulate triggered the "Imminent Danger Notification System" alert. He did nothing.

They confirm everything Col. Hunt said about automatic notifications to the WH and add more details.

There are three scandals here...

---------------------------------------------------------

Denial of prior requests for security were a dereliction of duty.

The lies and misdirection about the "video" after the attack were fraud and malfeasance under the color of authority.

The inaction during the attack was something more than that.

The failure to act during the attack is the direct equivalent of desertion IMO.

ONE man had the authority to act that night.

0bama refused to act!

Terror Threat Intelligence Not New-Agencies knew of threat to embassies, officials for months

Post 11: They knew about impending attacks well in advance last year too...

Breaking, Cover-Up?: Libyan President Indicates U.S. Knew Date And Time Of Embassy Attack In Advance… September 16, 2012

…and he cites intercepted communications to prove it. Keep in mind also that if this is true, then Obama’s main surrogate for the matter on the Sunday talk shows, UN Ambassador Susan Rice (who said on these shows that the whole thing was NOT a pre-planned Al Qaeda operation but merely a movie protest spun out of control), spent the entire day today either lying through her teeth as it is simply impossible to believe that she went on these shows with no approval of her talking points by the White House, or the White House, hoping they could ultimately hide the truth from everybody, including her, lied to her and said they had no evidence indicating Al Qaeda when in fact they had these intercepted communications…

Well, I’m about 2 steps from Rush, then. He mentioned CBA but not my name, at least it’s a start.

Maybe somebody will call him and mention the novelist who put CBA out there.
