President Obama Begs Off Answering Whether Americans in Benghazi Were Denied Requests for Help
fyi
How hard it it?
“Did you Mr. President, issue an order in any way preventing deployment of US assets from crossing the libyan border?”
Ask it.
“Were they denied requests for help during the attack?” he (Tapper)asked (To Obama).
“Well, we are finding out exactly what happened,” the president again said. “I can tell you, as I’ve said over the last couple of months since this happened, the minute I found out what was happening, I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to. Number two, we’re going to investigate exactly what happened so that it doesn’t happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice. And I guarantee you that everyone in the state department, our military, the CIA, you name it, had number one priority making sure that people were safe. These were our folks and we’re going to find out exactly what happened, but what we’re also going to do it make sure that we are identifying those who carried out these terrible attacks.”
Earlier today, Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin reported that CIA agents in the second U.S. compound in Benghazi were denied requests for help.
In response, CIA spokesperson Jennifer Youngblood said, “We can say with confidence that the Agency reacted quickly to aid our colleagues during that terrible evening in Benghazi. Moreover, no one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. In fact, it is important to remember how many lives were saved by courageous Americans who put their own safety at risk that night-and that some of those selfless Americans gave their lives in the effort to rescue their comrades.”

Here are the things that should bring down Obama. Did he give those orders? Or did he give the order to stand down? Here is the "Watergate Statement" or "I did not have sexual relations with that woman...." moment (In my opinion).
“I can’t comment on an ongoing investigation. We’ll have to wait for their report to find out what I was doing that night.”
There should have been no attacks or murders as our Secretary of State authorized Libyan militiamen to guard the compound’s interior.
ROTFLOL "I am not a crook!"
I wonder who told him to go to bed and rest up for his grueling campaign in Las
Vegas so that he had plausible deniability for anything that went on in Benghazi
such as gun running and/or his “personal dealings” with Ambassador Stevens.
