Retired Lt. Col.: My Sources Say Obama Was in the Room Watching Benghazi Attack Happen

Retired Army Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer said Saturday he has sources saying President Barack Obama was in the room at the White House watching the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya unfold.

Two unarmed U.S. drones were dispatched to the consulate and recorded the final hours of the attack, which killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

“This was in the middle of the business day in Washington, so everybody at the White House, CIA, Pentagon, everybody was watching this go down,” Shaffer said on Fox News’ “Justice with Judge Jeanine.” “According to my sources, yes, [Obama] was one of those in the White House Situation Room in real-time watching this.”

...

Shaffer said the question now is what precisely Obama did or didn’t do in the moments he saw the attack unfolding. The CIA reportedly made three urgent requests for military backup that were each denied.

“He, only he, could issue a directive to Secretary of Defense Panetta to do something. That’s the only place it could be done,”

RE post 15. You are probably 100% correct.

So, when does this become widely reported? Is this also impeachable?

Your memory is intact.
baraq couldn’t be found for much of the night after the Benghazi attack and he did fly out to the west coast the next morning for another fundraiser and rounds of golf.
An American ambassador had been murdered live on TV and he couldn’t be bothered with all that.
And his media covered for him with the childish youtube video story until the next story to come along.

If this is true, it would lead me to believe the reason no military was sent to help because those watching from the WH thought they were watching a planned kidnap. The idiots in the WH watched and found out their plans had been found out and what they were watching was a killing.

So, they decided to do nothing because if people found out the truth, there would be big trouble. They decided to let the Al Qaeda type operatives wipe out the survivors in order to protect the O admin.

I figure this is why nobody has ever went after or tried to seek these criminals out and bring them here for justice. We all know that they know who was behind it, but they choose to let them sip smoothies at cafes rather than use done strikes and captures.

O admin knows if these terror scum are captured they will talk. That cannot happen because their treachery would be exposed.

For this reason they cooked up the video excuse and went out of their way to push that meme.

This WH bunch, including Ms. Clinton need to be held accountable.

Here’s how itll play out...the press runs interference until Barry’s term is up. Then they ‘discover’ the ‘awful truth’, run a few juicy articles, call the job done and move on to other stories. Nothing will happen to Barry or anyone else involved. The republicans will play along.

Good emphasis. That’s what infuriates me. As a soldier vet, I can understand how these guys fought and fought holding out for rescue, and nothing came, it’s tragic, and never should of happened. Yet, some time later, here we are... and nobody’s done a dang thing about it.

Valerie Jarrett may have been there, rooting for the deaths of our men on the ground. Whereas I think 0bama is a little bit evil, but mostly incompetent, I believe that Jarrett is 100% pure evil. She’s the lizard alien in human form that eats babies.

In alternative media circles (conspiracy theorists would be the generally accepted pejorative term), Amb. Stevens was involved with helping Obammy supply dangerous weapons to Libya.

Well, Obammy wanted them back so they could give the weapons to the terrorist Al-qaeda currently fighting against Syrian president Assad, but the Libyan terrorists didn’t want to give them back. So when their “safe house” in Benghazi was under siege, they made a tactical decision to let Stevens die because to rescue him might have brought up some questions about what the hell he was doing there in the first place.

Lately, Obammy is trying to ship MANPAD SAMs to his terrorist buddies in Syria. But if any of those MANPADS end up taking down an Israeli airliner, he’ll not only be the first black president, he’ll be the first president ever impeached AND removed from office.

To hide the FACT that we were selling GUNS to Syrian rebels, via Turkey. And .. a man from Turkey was meeting with Stevens on 9/11 (and I’ve often wondered if this was on purpose .. because the attack did not begin until after he left the compound).

Obama had told Putin that WE WERE NOT SENDING WEAPONS TO SYRIAN REBELS. Hmmmmm ..?? Another lie ..?? But, Putin had info that American weapons had been found on the Syrian battlefields.

And .. wanting to be rid of this “problem” .. might have been a very good reason to withhold signing the CBA.

He (Obama) didn’t need to know what the CBA was .. it would be prepared and put before him to sign.

He can, of course, ask what the document is .. and when he’s told .. he then has to make the decision to sign or not.

So, the people who presented him with the document are too cowardly to come forward and tell the truth.
