Of course he wasn’t there. That’s why he had to be made to look authoritarian and competent when Sandy came along. Complete with Situation Room photo and him in a suit.
I can't answer that, perhaps he was concerned about the side affair, perhaps already being told Obama and gang would expose him.
In a position like that, people will do most anything to save their families from shame. Never know what a trapped animal will do.
That picture in that article speaks volumes to me. Look at the way Obama is standing so close and look at his face and eyes. That is the face of pure EVIL and Petaerus feels it, threatened by the WON breathing down his throat.
I don't know, but I do feel he will come forward.
All we can do is speculate at this point.
I agree with you.
Painful to watch first; because, in truth; Obama is not fit to tie even a boot of those who serve in our Armed Services; and so; Obama's reading/accounting of Marine Cpl. Dakota's heroics; could not help but sound 'rote' and empty; as there is simply no way; for Obama to 'emote simpatico' with a courageous Patriot.
We know; and Obama reminds us; often; that he cannot have ever known an American patriotism; or entertained a genuinely, altruistic thought; much less, even 'mused' an appreciation for our Military. And so he is left to 'wing it'/fake it; as he does with every aspect of his life.
Obama's 'fraud' is inescapable. Though; one does have to 'look'; to see. . .

After all; there was - and still is, of course - the 'transformation' of America to take care of. To that; all 'on board' with Obama; 'committed'. . .
Incredible no? And yet. . .not unlike 'abstaining' from a vote; but with an excuse.
Any idea where Gen. Ham was at the time...I read he was there in D.C. as well.
YEP, he was “PRESENT” somewhere in dat house.
That scar on his head must mean something, it seems like we are watching some End Times movie with no end, yet this is reality of that movie with no reprisals.
In Benghazi timeline, CIA errors but no evidence of conspiracy
Were they hoping to recover the Ambassador as a hostage if he recovered from the smoke inhalation?
That is my belief. What else were they after in the consulate. A Muslim Brotherhood heavily armed mob gathers around a consulate where the Ambassador is located, why else would they storm the consulate??????? He was the prize and he was near death when found and unabled to be revived. Amazing how the hostilities were over after that with the only shots being fired by the US were those of the ex-seals.
Americans died......
It is bizarre. . .and the scar is a curiousity.
That’s not accurate, there was an assault by the hostiles on the CIA compound which was about 1 mile away from the consulate later that morning. That is where both Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were killed. If it was a kidnap attempt and Stevens was at the hospital, then why attack the CIA compound. Other than just killing infidels.
Again, hypothesis. The kidnap was to be easy, no security around the Ambassador. How many MB have you heard were killed at the consulate? I think the MB was a little PO’d, i.e. expecting no resistance. Who were they going to take revenge on after the FUBAR at the consulate........
So the kidnap fails and the gun running from the CIA enclave goes up in smoke. Unintentional consequences.....
If Obama believes that Petreaus will nail him, then he will not live to testify.
