The Ticket - Yahoo News ^ | 27 Oct 2012 | Oliver Knox

Posted on 10/27/2012 1:07:27 PM PDT by edpc

The White House on Saturday flatly denied that President Barack Obama withheld requests for help from the besieged American compound in Benghazi, Libya, as it came under on attack by suspected terrorists on September 11th.

"Neither the president nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi," National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told Yahoo News by email.

This was a kidnapping gone wrong..Obama wanted to be the hero and save Ambassador Stevens by doing a botched kidnapping..but according to some rumors Ive read..Egypt wanted the Blind Sheikh, which screwed everything up..what other reason is there, they had this entire event happen LIVE on video..WHY..why was there someone actually taping this live if it wasn’t planned from the start

But aren’t there e-mails to the contrary that prove there were requests for help?

Which probably means that Valerie Jarrett was the one in the situation room issuing the Stand Down while the Bozo in Chief was getting his beauty sleep before heading off to Vegas.

"I didn't deny any requests and you can't prove I did." Ba'art H. Obama, President (and you're not).

The MSM is being forced to talk about it, however. That is some bit of progress.

Defense officials say they did not receive a request for military support from the State Department as the attack unfolded.

You have to parse the words these weasels use. CIA says they never told anybody NOT to help. Defense Dept. says they never got a request for assistance from State Dept. (does Hillary have to call Leon and ask for some special forces guys to save her people?) Now the POTUS office says ....”Neither the president nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi,........

Bottom line is they are parsing again. If you do not deny a request for help it is completely different than ISSUING an order to help. If you ask me if you can borrow $20 and I ignore you, you can’t say I denied your request.

Prove it. Where was the AC-130 dispatched? Where was Aviano scrambled and assets in the air? Which carrier group was tapped to lead the assault?

I wouldn’t count on help from the Clinton’s. Hillary has been standing by her other man Obama. They are also trying to take down Netanahu behind the scenes.

Sooo...

If the CIA didn’t deny them assistance, and the White House didn’t deny them assistance, then the Defense Department or the State Department is going to take the fall.

Panetta has already admitted DoD wouldn’t help, but is he going to take the blame?

Ok, well, this is easy enough.

We find out who the folks on the ground, were talking to.

Panetta and Obama both claim that they were never asked to provide support.

There are enough people, still alive..... that know plenty about this. The leader of the team that WAS supporting the embassy, until his team was removed 2 weeks before the attack, can clearly state that he made every effort to convince the administration that his team should NOT have been pulled out.

This is just incredible. I hope Obama just fries for this.

First, we’ll remove him via the election, then a full investigation into the matter with that stonewalling regime gone, is going to be quite telling.

what utter B/S, so now they cover up their cover up to hide their orignal cover up and the media still ignores this.

Only one person can give that order to stand down and that is obama , so where was obama during this, ?
Did obama watch the attack live time?
Did he go to bed after knowing that an attack was happening?

obama has lied repeatedly and no wonder he wants many to vote early[and often] because this is catching up and the media is trying to hold off as much as they can.

Yesssssssssssssss. It sounds like Jarrett’s 3 passes on Bin Laden. She has Obama under her thumb - what is her connection to Soros?

"Obama "voted present" on Benghazi and people died because of it."

That is his style - unfortunately, the deaths of four Americans got in the way of his style. He "voted present" and he lied to the American people.

He is a LITTLE MAN .

Actually, he is NO MAN AT ALL - he is the EXTENSION of Valarie Jarrett and his wife.

Or,
3. Obama wasn’t in the room, but in bed asleep, so technically he couldn’t “deny” anything.

Well--if 0 did NOT deny requests for help, then he just admitted he DID got these requests. Which means he WAS aware the requests for help were being sent out--in real time!

Ergo: he KNEW in real time what was going down, and either did NOT deny the request for help, or APPROVED them.

But, if they were approved--why weren't the requests acted upon, since he is the CIC.

Ergo: Obama DID NOT DENY them, he just did NOTHING!!!!

Lord have mercy on U.S.!

"Obama STOPPED it for al Qaeda and his other allies (who happen to be enemies of the American people)."

But apparently, they are friends of his.

Obama is as LOATHSOME AND EVIL as they are.

Take a look at the comments section at the link. Bammy and crew are being roasted on a spitfire. Seems unlikely those are all conservatives posting and thumbing up/down.

I was wondering why the AC130 gunship was not used...then remembered seeing something about a Syrian army helicopter blowing up in mid-air about ten days ago. Maybe Quaddafi’s shoulder-fired missile inventory has been scattered far and wide making the gunship vulnerable. Don’t think the Poseur would want us knowing about that before election day.
