I’m sick to my stomach. For all the Condoleeza Rice fans out there, this is just another reminder of what the animal is. She basically fell in line with Hillary and other femal diplomats blaming everything on the heavy traffic and fog of war. They know soooo much more than the military. They know what someone calling for help means better than we do. This was exactly what the caller to Rush was explaining. This was a matter of decision-making. At five pm eastern time, the decision from POTUS was NO. Disgrace.
Lack of intel? They were getting real time info from CIA agents. What other kind of intel would they need?
This administration should be tried for treason. Panetta and all of his “generals” should be tried for direlection of duty at a minimum.
The cliff is close
That's their story - and they're stickin' to it...

My wife pointed out that the dems denied God three times at their convention. And they denied the Seals’ request for help three times.
To think that this guy was a Republican in the 60’s and 70’s is mind-boggling.
From Wikipedia:
“Panetta started in politics in 1966 as a legislative assistant to Republican Senator Thomas Kuchel, the United States Senate Minority Whip from California, whom Panetta has called “a tremendous role model”.[10]
In 1969 he became the assistant to Robert H. Finch, Secretary of the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare under the Nixon administration. Soon thereafter he was appointed Director of the Office for Civil Rights.[11]
Panetta chose to enforce civil rights and equal education laws.[citation needed] Secretary Robert Finch and Assistant Secretary John Veneman refused to fire Panetta, threatening to resign if forced to do so.[citation needed] A few weeks later in 1970, Panetta resigned and left Washington to work as Executive Assistant for John Lindsay, the Republican Mayor of New York City. He wrote about this experience in his 1971 book Bring Us Together.
Panetta switched to the Democratic Party in 1971, because he thought that the Republican Party was moving away from the political center.”
Obviously not a fan of Reagan, but a big fan of libs like that horror of a mayor John V, Lindsay. Explains his thought process.
Panetta has always been a lying ass-kissing political hack. What qualifications did he ever have to be Sec. Def.? He was put in that position precisely because he’s more than happy to be nothing but a lying ass-kissing political hack. And this is the result.
This administration has so many lies floating around they are tripped up each time they open their mouths.
So live feed from a drone, a guy on the phone with GPS coordinates and a laser designator is not enough info?
It’s a bad sign for Zero when Panetta would rather throw himself under the bus than keep working for the Kenyan.
Thanks chessplayer.
If I misheard this, someone please correct me. I hear it was seven hours, long enough for some kind of help to arrive.
From how many directions are we going to be be lied to?

bttt
I’m so disgusted you have no idea.
Ouch! Great post.
They were watching real-time and a US Ambassador was requesting help!! That’s all the intel they should need! This is soooo DIRTY!
Sometimes a lack of sufficient intel means you send violent men to go get it right now.
