It was thought by many that the pResident was AWOL on the night of the Benghazi attacks. After Leon Panetas testimony confirming this I, and many others, thought for sure that there would be outrage and call for a formal explanation as to the where abouts of CIC.We know that the President and VP were together for an approximate 1 hour phone call to Benjamin Netanyahu from about 5PM to 6PM EST. When the phone call was over the attacks were well under way and the CIC and the VP left.
Leon Paneta and Hillary Clinton did nothing. They did nothing for one of two reasons or both.
We know that automatically our forces where moving to readiness and could of intervened in minutes, not hours. Why were they ordered to stand down? Simple, only the CIC can order forces across an international borders but he was AWOL and could not be reached. That is one reason.
The second reason, and actually more plausible. They, Leon, Hillary, Joe, and Zero, knew what was supposed to happen. It was a planned attack that was supposed to end up in a hostage exchange in the 11th hour of the election.
Think about it. The CIC's where abouts are always known. If for some reason the CIC is incapacitated either by plan or not then there is an acting CIC, usually the VP.
Mr. Paneta's testimony is clear. The CIC left his post and now we know why.

Dear Greg,Thank you for reaching out to me with your views about the tragic events in Benghazi. Listening to my constituents is a fundamental part of my job as it helps me to best represent you and New Hampshire's priorities in Congress.
The crimes in Benghazi, Libya that took the lives of Ambassador Stevens and three other Americas were tragic and reprehensible. These murders serve as reminders that the United States government and military must remain vigilant and work to disrupt terrorist plots that threaten the American people and our allies.
While it is clear there were errors in our government's response to the attack in Benghazi, the most important memorial we can construct to the victims is a renewed commitment to answering all terrorist acts with swift and measured justice. As your Representative, I will continue to conduct oversight over our nation's foreign operations and support international efforts to combat terrorism.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with me. I strive to maintain an open dialogue with the people of New Hampshire about issues important to our district. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact my Concord office at (603) 226-1002 or my Washington, DC office at (202) 225-5206 or visit my website at http://Kuster.house.gov.
