You of course are right and it's why I keep pounding it too. But it's so stupid. It's like a little kid putting his bankey over his head and pretending no one can see him. We know he didn't give a CBA order because no external rescue force was sent.
He could have been on a naval vessel cruising McMurdo Sound in Antarctica and he still would have been tied in, real time, to what was happening and Panetta et al still would have been asking him "how 'bout a CBA, Mr. President!?"
But the press acts like Mommy to him... "Oh, gee, where did little Barry go? I can't see him anywhere!"
It really makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Atkisson’s book “Stonewalled” does ask “Where was the POTUS, hour by hour?”
We still don’t know. The truth is so disgraceful, that any military person active or former would consign him to the last ring of hell. He broke the faith. He wrote off a besieged garrison for political purposes at home. He let “my good friend Chris” die.
It doesn’t matter what he says or doesn’t say. The media should already be stating as a fact that Obama hid like a dirty coward, and let an Alamo potentially be overrun. At ten hours into the multi-stage battle, the W.H. could not know if it would morph into another worse disaster. We should have gone in heavy, Rangers, all of it.
But two weeks before an election? Might have turned into Black Hawk Down. Better to let a score of Americans be captured or killed. We can blame it on the video, already in the can, ready to be used. We don’t care if they are massacred, as long as we don’t take the blame. It was the video.
