He needs an “intervention”, in my opinion. I have had a lot of friends, employees, and relatives that thought they could “handle a toke now and then”. Several of them died an early death!
One of them was a drug counselor at a famous “rehab center”. He had a saying he would throw out to new recruits “don’t be afraid to speak out, your instructors are the most F_____ up members here”!
Obama does not sit through any meeting for more than 30 minutes. His attention span is not sufficient to last more than that.
On the phone with? The National Security Council works out of the West Wing of the White House, which is where Obama was meeting with Panetta.
I can see your point, but a honorable military man will not dishonor the sitting CIC. It’s ingrained in them to be loyal and they know firsthand how a President’s stature in the world can cause turmoil when he is undermined at home. I think Petraeus will speak the truth, but he will be very careful.
Petraeus of all people would have seen how Democrats and the press destroyed Bush’s credibility. That’s why it’s amazing to be that he took a job with the Obama Administration after seeing how ruthless and political they are at every turn.
But I guess, like a good fighting man, he heeded the call to service.
“an honorable military man will not dishonor the sitting CIC.”
#1. Petraeus is no longer “honorable” by engaging in the affair. So...
#2. He has nothing to lose if he decides to “dishonor the sitting CIC”. By telling the truth, he will regain honor in the eyes of patriots, i.e., the people whose opinions matter.
BTW, the sitting CIC is so stupid that he referred to it as “Commander AND Chief”; how much honor does he deserve, really?
Panic ? Let’s hope not. There should be no question on how to proceed, unless one is worried about something or someone else.
What is the situation room for?
To be honest, a shockingly large portion of voters know little to nothing about Benghazi or Fast and Furious.
The White House Situation Room is a 5,000-square-foot (460 m2)[1] conference room and intelligence management center in the basement of the West Wing of the White House. It is run by the National Security Council staff for the use of the President of the United States and his advisors (including the National Security Advisor, the Deputy for Homeland Security and the White House Chief of Staff) to monitor and deal with crises at home and abroad and to conduct secure communications with outside (often overseas) persons. The Situation Room is equipped with secure, advanced communications equipment for the President to maintain command and control of U.S. forces around the world.
The mission of the Situation Room is to provide current intelligence and crisis support to the NSC staff, the National Security Adviser, and the President. The Situation Room staff is organized around five Watch Teams that provide 7-day, 24-hour monitoring of international events. A Watch Team includes three Duty Officers, a communications assistant, and an intelligence analyst. The number and composition of personnel varies, depending on shift requirements and workload.[citation needed]
Per wikipedia
Though there could be multiple ways to execute a kidnapping, the kidnapping itself was not the end it was to be a means for Obama to:
1. Show his mastery of the Muslim world prior to the election;
2. Show that the Muslim world would follow his lead;
3. Have the Ambassador returned safely;
4. Drown out any message on the economy;
5. Other benefits - stick it to the Israelies.
I could go on an on.
I may agree with you on the Naive part......sad.., but the Clintons and Obama are the best SNAKE OIL SALESMEN we have ever witnessed. LIARS ALL, they have sucked a lot of people into their devious web, until they are of no more use. Time to whack em.
So true. We have a whats in it for me voting population vs truly concerned
Reponsible citizens.
O and the clintons play the percentages and get enough takers to win.
They are truly wolves in sheeps clothing, aided by a blind MSM
Great analysis ... please keep me on your “ping list” ...
Well chronicled post.
The “sex” part is the Regime’s realization that the “great unwashed” might be learning Ben Ghazi is NOT a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. But a couple of things..
1. Hillary being “in the loop” on treasonous acts of Dear Leaders? Would the Jarrett/Axelrod/ChiTown Thugs TRUST her to not bail and use said info against BHO for her OWN political fortunes?
2. With all the “viewing” posts around the world, aren’t their dozens if not more than 100 people who actually KNOW what happened? What about the US forces in Italy who were alerted and then who stood down? Too many “Indians” know what the Chiefs did and did NOT do!
When he testifies, he will be very careful. He knows what happened, and to tell the truth about OBAMA's dereliction of Duty is not to dishonor the office of the CIC.
TO NOT TELL: Would be a dishonor to his uniform and his Country. He owes his allegiance to the Constitution FIRST not to the man sitting in the oval office who has so DISHONERED himself as to be the COWARD IN CHIEF.
The Military can not abide a COWARD, and is under no obligation to serve under one, and remain quiet about it.
OBAMA...don't care...delegates..(besides that he is an IDIOT IN CHIEF)......
Panetta....yeah, I think he panicked. This was deadly serious s..t going on, and HIS BOSS left it to him to make a decision......
The passing the buck on down begins.
The players in Obamas, Jarrett's and the Clintons administration do not really realize what they are up against with Obama. Neither do we for that matter, but he is deadly.
May I insert here: see......Nicolae Carpathia
IMO, Petraeus already drank the kool-ade by going along with the video lie. He could have stood for the truth then, but he didn’t. He carried the Obama lie forward. If he tells something different now, which version of the “truth” are we supposed to believe.
