Panetta: Obama Absent Night of Benghazi Daniel Halper February 7, 2013 12:05 PM

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta testified this morning on Capitol Hill that President Barack Obama was absent the night four Americans were murdered in Benghazi on September 11, 2012:

Panetta said that Obama left operational details, including knowledge of what resources were available to help the Americans under siege, "up to us."

In fact, Panetta says that the night of 9/11, he did not communicate with a single person at the White House. The attack resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.

Panetta said that, save their 5 o'clock prescheduled meeting with the president the day of September 11, Obama did not call or communicate in anyway with the defense secretary that day. There were no calls about what was going on in Benghazi. He never called to check-in.

The Petreaus story was dropped like a hot potato as soon as the trail led from the Lebanese chick right back to the White House and even to John Kerry.

Suddenly the media lost interest.

Maybe Obama was busy having phone sex with Hugo Chavez one last time before the Venezuelan Coca-Nut kicks the bucket.

Is this some sort of surprise? They had to drag Obama off the Golf Course when the OBL raid went down.

Notice how the Media never “investigated” that, even with the Situation Room Photo of Obama with the Jacket over his Golf Shirt?

As I've said before, They Live and we're the only ones wearing the Sunglasses.

I am SO sorry for the triple pings above.

Apparently the software problem at FR still hasn't been fixed... I only hit the Post button once.

There should be a picture with both him and Hillary in bed at 3 am, she did absolutely nothing too per Panetta. A split screen picture would be good, them sleeping on one side and hell in Benghazi on the other side. It would be the best anti-Hillary campaign photo if she runs in 2016, which I hope she doesn’t.

FOUR DEAD AMERICANS

How easy would it be to put a stop to ever posting the identical post twice ? Seems easy to me but I’m not a programmer.

I have no problem with comprehension, you on the other hand seem to have difficulty expressing readable material utilizing complete thoughts. Try less sarcastic ranting and more understandable points.

Maybe they didn’t “speak”, but they sure as hell were informed (they = Hilary and Obama) - so OK maybe aides were speaking instead, or they were texting - communication was happening in some form or other!! ... remember these are Clintons and the meaning of “is” is ...

Interestingly, YOU are the only one who had an issue.

Does it hurt when your knickers get in a twist like that, Sally?

BUMP!

____________

For our sorry RINOs in the US House, here is NO excuse left to not Impeach Benghazi-Coward Obama.

Dereliction of Duty has now been documented by Secretaries from Defense AND State.

Begin the Articles of Impeachment for Benghazi-Coward Obama!

Call or text your sorry RINO Rep. today!

BUMP! THE QUESTION, thanks!

_______

Hitler slept when Eisenhower sent the Allies in to invade Normandy.

Benghazi-Coward Obama slept when al-Queda invaded Benghazi.

Obama’s puppet media allowed Obama to get re-elected.

Now we have him, IF our sorry RINO House members have the courage to do their duty to IMPEACH Benghazi-Coward Obama for dereliction of duty as Commander in Chief.

Call or text your sorry RINO Rep. today!

Why do I get the feeling that Panetta will be walking this back some time soon?

Nah, Panetta is a seasoned player. If he's saying this, he was instructed to do so.
