Retired Lt. Col discussing standard operating procedures on how this would have worked its way up the chain...
Rush military caller says beyond shadow of doubt Obama knew about Benghazi attack and ordered no response
quote: This is an amazing phone call from a retired Lt. Col. and Special Operations Planner for 15 years who knows the inside baseball of what goes on in the White House. He told Rush that protocol dictates that as soon as the situation room got the email about the Benghazi attack, someone marched up to the president and informed him of the attack. He says it’s a bald faced lie if they say otherwise.
He also says that it was the president who gave the order at his 5pm meeting that day to not respond to the Libya attack in progress.

Obama in 2010:
“When times are tough, you tighten your belts,” the president said. “You don’t go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don’t blow a bunch of cash on Vegas:
The president’s comments come nearly a year after he criticized companies that received federal money for taking corporate junkets to Las Vegas. “You can’t go take that trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on taxpayers’ dime,” he said.
I just heard this call listening to the replay of RUSH’s show.
I cannot believe that Obama refused to authorize even so much as an attempt to go in and try and rescue these people...
Thanks for posting this. I listened to it during the show and knew the truth was being spoken, just by the demeanor of the caller. It has to have been the Call of a Career for Rush. While I know it’s unlikely, the Romney campaign should make an ad of that and make it their exclusive placement for the balance of the campaign. Romney himself ought to open every appearace with that call and simply tell the crowd four years is enough of that, then walk off the stage.
Since the above is unlikely, how about some Congress critter with stones opening every day of a hearing into this with that call? Then call each likely suspect in for public questioning to respond to each point made in the call. Great political theater...
Intersting call and probalby contains a lot truth. Rush might have been a little quick accept a complete stranger’s asertions of bona fides, though.
Sickening, loathsome, banal, disgusting, abhorrent, ah hell, I despise these people!
Yup, and his majesty was informed. This is just like the communists black Muslim shoved America behind so he could play on our money. He gave billions to his communists friends and feels no shame. He is a real pig.
Now why didn't
1. Panetta go ballistic and resign,
2. Hillary go ballistic and resign,
3. Petraeus go ballistic and resign,
4. Any of the Joint Chiefs go ballistic and resign,
Well, 1 & 2 its pretty obvious they are corrupt venal amoral career politicians.
3 & 4 very disappointing but I guess not surprising in this day & age!
Panetta, I was thinking better of him, he protected agency people when Holder was going to put them in jail for doing a what a presidential finding had already said was legal, and he kept the focus going on the UBL raid. I guess his inner “fool” pulled him back to the dark side.
Now 2, Hillary another example of her utter incompetence when it comes to leadership, strategic awareness and political skills. If she would have resigned in a “big way” over this she could have “spun that” into her being a principled heroine. But no she ran for cover just like the rest of them! She is done as far as having a political future!
I have said before, 'What do people see in her?'. She has done nothing on her own! NOTHING!! !If you looked up the term "strap hanger" in the dictionary you would see her staring back ! (A ghastly sight!)
It’s called a CRITIC and the rule is that it is in POTUS’ hands within 10 minutes. An attack on any U.S. facility would meet the criteria for CRITIC reporting.
bump
Of course.
Yet BO wants us to believe that under his leadership, communiques regarding international crises are routinely buried in a sea of spam. And this is supposed to be a defense of his administration’s lack of response?
Outrageous.
The truth is now out. Brave men were deliberately and ruthlessly sacrificed for his political career.
God bless you, Sir. Be safe.
without playing politics. Sorry brain fart.
THANK YOU SIR, YOU ARE TRULY AN AMERICAN HERO !!!
But while all of that military staging would have happened/did happen during the 6-8 hour battle at the consulate and annex, what the military cannot do on their own say-so is cross an international border without an order from the NCA, the National Command Authority, and that means POTUS, Obama.As Travis points out, Obama knew all this. He did not want to be blamed for giving the order to GO. He did not want to be blamed for giving the order "STAND DOWN". He did not want to accept responsibility for giving any order.Only POTUS can authorize a cross-border hostile mission. That is, guns clear, no official permission from the Tripoli govt (if it really exists outside State Dept fantasies.)
Only one man can pull that trigger and say, “GO!” Obama.
...
But no order came, as of midnight in DC. And then none would come. Because the POTUS retired for the night with a “do not disturb” sign on his door, punted, and went to bed, to be well rested for Las Vegas.
So he ran away, and by deliberate inaction, killed our men in Libya.
May God bless and keep you. Thank you for your service.
“He also says that it was the president who gave the order at his 5pm meeting that day to not respond to the Libya attack in progress.”
If this is proven...every single Democrat Senator and Congresscritter needs to be forced to answer to the public
over the conduct of the Commander in Chief. They should be afraid to poke their nose out on the campaign trail the next two weeks!!!
Thank you for your service.
Question:
At 7:05 on the tape you state POTUS At 5 pm met with the principals and shut down the extraction effort. That info based on protocol, or knowledge of actual events? Obviously not info yet public record.
Appreciate your response or inability to answer directly.
God bless!
