Fmr. NSC Spokesman Tommy Vietor: Obama Was Not In The Situation Room During Benghazi Attack
RealClearPolitics ^ | 5/1/2014 | Bret Baier and Tommy Vietor

Posted on 05/02/2014 7:28:06 AM PDT by mojito

BRET BAIER: People on the ground testified that they knew where the ambassador was, that they were military in their precision. It was not guys coming to protest. They had mortars and heavy weapons.

TOMMY VIETOR: Bret, a couple of things. I was in the Situation Room that night, okay. We didn't know where the ambassador was definitively.

BAIER: Was the president in the Situation Room?

VIETOR: No. And the fact that your network at one time reported that he watched video feed of the attack as it was ongoing is part of what I think is a pattern of inaccurate --

BAIER: Where was the president?

VIETOR: In the White House. Let me finish my initial statement. The notion that we could, you know, divine motives from a drone feed I think is wrong. And I also think this idea that the military had the capability to rescue those individuals but chose not to is I think extremely unfair to the military. And Admiral Mullen said basically the opposite.

BAIER: In the ARB report.

VIETOR: Right.

BAIER: Where was the president?

VIETOR: In the White House.

BAIER: He wasn't in the Situation Room?

VIETOR: At what point in the evening?

BAIER: Any point in the evening.

Wasn’t Barry packing to go to a fundraiser in Vegas while Americans were being murdered in Benghazi?

‘Hide the Barry’!

We all knew that photo, with him sitting there in his ‘faux and self-conscious Presidential pose, was a clumsy and artificial effort, too.

He couldn’t go to the situation room. It was important for him to stay out of the decision loop.

Most of us believe he went to bed - he had a rough campaign lined up in Las Vegas early next morning takeoff (campaigning is all he is capable of)

What does it matter where he was. The low life piece of dog shiite would have done NOTHING to rescue the four Americans along with the Hilderbeast doing nothing when the call came in.

Stay on the real issue. The man LET the four Americans die. Does not matter where he was. He could have been sitting on a destroyer off the coast of Libya with all the intel in the world.

The crutch of the matter is he hates America and he loves to see Americans die.
He promotes Islam at every turn.
He wants to destroy America from within
He wants to divide down racial lines
He wants a fight and we should give it to him IMHO
He is not an American

This morning Chris Plante (WMAL- Washington DC) mentioned “Dude boy’s” background was van driver for press. Didn’t mention anything else in his experience. Don’t think he was kidding.

The real story is that US soil was invaded by a bunch of camel f*ckers, and nobody did anything about it.

This is why there are Russians in the Crimea, and the Japanese and Germans are gearing up to protect themselves.

The regular Mexican Army are staging incursions on the southern border daily, nothing is done about it.

Benghazi may ultimately be revealed as the “McGuffin” in this plot. One question remains: the real story, and the reason for the regime’s feverish attempt to make this all go away is Barry’s whereabouts, liaisons, and activities that fateful night. What’s the one thing that would completely destroy the blind loyalty of his fan base? His devoted followers would forgive all, forget all, but this one thing...
