Former National Security Adviser Bud McFarlane: For Obama to Do Nothing During Benghazi Attack is “Dereliction of Duty”

Video at link...

Former National Security Adviser Bud McFarlane told FOX News today:

“You don’t just passively allow Americans to remain under attack for eight hours at a time when you have forces within range and do nothing. The Secretary of Defense was in the White House at five o’clock within an hour of when the attacks started. He could have told him, “Yes. We have special operations peope and F18 aircraft that could be deployed right away. To have known what he had available, to have known that Americans were under fire, and to have done nothing, is dereliction of duty that I have never seen in a Commander in Chief from a president of any party. Outrageous.”

“Did he have popcorn?”

probably, i think that it is alright for muslims to eat popcorn.

i know he wasn’t munching on porkrinds. they are taboo.

a cic that cannot command a toy boat in a bathtub.

in some situations, a decision must be made immediately. that is called LEADERSHIP!

God, how I loved Reagan, a Real Man! a real Leader! WWRD?

all i have seen is lies, and the shifting the share of the blame.

no one is responsible? if no one is responsible, everyone of them should go.

none of them will take a leadership position. the obamanation is a boat without a rudder, a mast or a wheel, or a captain.

blessings, bobo

Only the POTUS had the authority to act!

0bama was notified immediately and automatically when the Benghazi consulate triggered the "Critical Incident Report" alert. He did nothing.

Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer (U.S. Army ret.), former CIA Station Chief Gary Berntsen and former CIA operative Mike Baker

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

There are three scandals here...

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

Denial of 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.

ONE man deserted his post!

That is a situation where a President is supposed to forget about politics long enough to say “Go get them”

Come on Leon and Dave and whatever your first name is Dempsey. They don’t want you in Cuba or China. You can’t go there and request asylum. They’ll just send you back. Let’s quit playing these word games. The truth about the money is going to come out and then Obama and Hillary are toast. Then, it will be your turn for the toaster. Way too hot.

Panetta essentially said that military intervention would've been too risky. But, I thought this was just a 'protest over a YouTube video'.. How risky could that've been?

This was a full-on terrorist attack, with road blocks made in advance and if 0bama did indeed watch this in the situation room he clearly LIED and made a concerted effort (Susan Rice, etc) to cover up the fact this was a terrorist attack. 0bama was obviously worried about the draw-down of Stevens' security becoming known, and the overall repercussions to his re-election campaign. Public knowledge of his doing deals with terrorists (Fast & Furious II) was perhaps his main concern.

Panetta should be called before Congress and asked to explain how it is we don't send military to beat back terrorists from taking and killing our Ambassador. If our military can't overcome risk, why do we have one?

What’s amazing through all of this recent news is how non-chalant Obammy is about it all.

I actually would have appreciated if someone in the obamanation would have done the right thing for the sake of the country.

it was not about politics, it was about American citizens.

the obamanation has essentially said to our men and women in uniform and those in harm’s way that we do not have your back.

DISGUSTING!

Blessings, bobo

Apparently, it IS about politics, and he ISN'T one.
