Hillary gets tossed under the bus to provide cover for Biden, White House
Michelle Malkin ^ | October 12, 2012 | Doug Powers

Posted on 10/13/2012 3:11:45 PM PDT by Upstate NY Guy

At last night’s debate, Joe Biden said “we weren’t told” that the Benghazi consulate had requested additional security in the days leading up to the attack on the 9/11 anniversary. Today the White House is making sure everybody realizes that by “we,” Biden was referring only to the White House and not the administration as a whole. The ball of blame has been overhead smashed back to Hillary Clinton’s side of the court.

“These kinds of issues are handled in the State Department by security officials,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said during Friday’s press briefing.

Security matters “are decided at the State Department,” he said…

And there goes Hillary under the bus. In other words, “the buck stops here with her.”

"State Department “Security Officials” do not authorize the deployment of military forces... Only the CINC..."

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing that. In this case I would think Hillary can (and should) blast this thing right back into Obumbler's court.

"Just when I think they can’t stoop any lower, they surprise me..."

Agreed. It is the most despicable, amateurish, and juvenile behavior I have ever witnessed from any administration.

She is done.

The MSM will cover this up and save both their butts
Without the MSM dwelling on this every night like they would for a GOP administration it will die a slow death

“Hundreds of government personnel listened/watched for 6 hours in real time as the attack ensued. Hunt says it is standard operating procedure when an embassy is attacked.”

Am I remembering right that Zero went to sleep 45 minutes into the attack, knowing what was happening?

From thouworm’s post # 27:

“The attack started about 9:40 p.m. Libyan time. That would have been the middle of the day in the US. It wasn’t even a 3:00 a.m. phone call.”

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2944272/posts

“Libya is 6 hours ahead of EST. The attack began about 9:30 PM Libyan time which would have only been 3:30 PM EST. Obama would have been golfing about that time - not in bed.

“post 26...Randita pointed out the same thing. I tried to draw attention to her post in post 63, same thread.

“I haven’t confirmed the time, but this fact, if true, has gotten lost in the web of lies.

“AND, it’s *no* a minor point because Obama should have been sitting in the situation room. If not, one of his surrogate’s was-—and the WH situation room, and other agencies, was obligated to give him frequent updates.

“Hours before Obama would have gone to bed at 11pm.”

. . . . Check out other informative comments in the thread, too.

There is even a question about that!

That would be hours before Obama was reported to have gone to bed at 11pm.

Another example of where Hillary finished her political career by being Zero’s SOS. I still say it was a very stupid decision on her part.

"Quit reminding me, would ya?"

It is a complete web of lies. Four Americans, who begged for security, didn’t get crap, and are now buried, thanks to Hillary Clinton and BO.

Weird how it was released that he went to bed- maybe he wasn’t told until it was bedtime? VJ anyone?

"...at least 12 command centers got near INSTANTANEOUS info when the Benghazi consulate was attacked, including a manned WH situation room. Hundreds of government personnel listened/watched for 6 hours in real time as the attack ensued. Hunt says it is standard operating procedure when an embassy is attacked."

WH gave no military order to intervene.

Thank you, very much, for the link! I couldn’t get the audio link up and the transcript was indecipherable. Hope to read a cleaned up transcript soon. Thank you so much.
