Zero, in a televised interview today, did not deny that requests were made. He cannot walk this back! A request of this magnitude would have to be answered by the President, as it would allow armed American troops to enter a sovereign nation. Zero had to give the order, no one else has the authority.
Obama needs to resign now.
In case you have not seen this......
..and now,, join us for another episode of..
As the Mufti Spins
With everyone taking turns under the bus, it’s a wonder that it still moves!
or...
A bus divided against itself cannot be driven!
Valerie Jarrett........
Has Kristol ever considered that Petraeus is telling the truth, and not, “throwing anyone under the bus?”
Does the ex-General believe that not leaving a man behind only applies after he has been KIA?
My gut tells me Valerie said NO to help.
The questions now change to issues like whether or not a president, when he leaves office can grant a pardon to himself! There was, of course, the famous pardon granted to Nixon by Gerry Ford. But in a matter this grave, don’t look past the possibility of Obama issuing himself a pardon for what he did in Benghazigate.
Remember what happened in 1945 to the president of Norway when WWII ended.
Expect Petraeus to issue a “clarification.”
Who will Pravda and the rest of the libs believe,,,the saviour of the Universe or that racist white devil Petraeus?
Something I don’t understand. If the Seals were using a laser to paint a target, wouldn’t that mean that some sort of air support was available?
I wouldn’t think that they would just be sitting there holding a laser on the target waiting for air support that was an hour or more away?
A CIA spokesman made the statement, not Petreus himself. Once again, expect “clarification.” What I see is that the CIA is calling those who gave the story to Foxnews liars. They are not throwing obama under the bus. They are covering their, and obama’s, asses.
Biden old us there would be a time when this president would be tested. He was right. He forgot to add that he would fail the test miserably......
Nobody told the CIA folks not to go to the ambassador’s aid? Did anyone tell them to go to the ambassador’s aid?
The Hussein regime is praying that hurricane is another Katrina, even if gets people killed, to get Libya out of the news. What happened in Benghazi was criminal. Hussein knew people were murdered and went calmly to bed in preperation for his Vegas fundraiser. He then blamed the video and even made one of his own apologizing to the freaking Pakistanis of all people! Get that man out of the Oval Office!!
General Haig no doubt knew and well understood the Constitutional order of who was next in line. Haig said this in relation to White House Crisis Management while VP GHW bush was entroute to The White House.
How one responds to crisis and accepts the responsibility determines ones leadership abilities and shows their character. No one in the White House or Pentagon today is anywhere close to having the character and good judgment of General Haig in time of crisis. Right or wrong the man was a leader and that's what he did.
