Retired Lt. Col discussing standard operating procedures on how this would have worked its way up the chain...
Rush military caller says beyond shadow of doubt Obama knew about Benghazi attack and ordered no response
quote: This is an amazing phone call from a retired Lt. Col. and Special Operations Planner for 15 years who knows the inside baseball of what goes on in the White House. He told Rush that protocol dictates that as soon as the situation room got the email about the Benghazi attack, someone marched up to the president and informed him of the attack. He says it’s a bald faced lie if they say otherwise.
He also says that it was the president who gave the order at his 5pm meeting that day to not respond to the Libya attack in progress.

Well, he hates America and likes to see America defeated, punished, and humiliated. So that always has something to do with his decisions, from banning the production of energy in our own country to ordering a no-go as Commander in Chief to save the ambassador that works for him and the soldiers.
It also shows how truly stupid he is politically. He issued the no-go so that he would not lose the vote of the anti-American lefties who hired him to neuter our military and our “cowboy approach” to foreign policy.
Most of those lefties will only vote for him and hate Romney more than they will ever admit disappointment in Obammie the Commie, who may have won over a considerable chunk of the independents and women votes if he’d approved a limited military response to save our citizens over there.
He showed his true colors: stupid red.
This is why I will do everything in my power to keep my son from serving in the “armed” forces. All it takes is some pri** of a President to use soldiers as pawns in his power plays, and someone’s son, someone’s husband is killed, for NOTHING. Absolutely NOTHING.
I am reluctantwarrior.
There is protocol for this type of crisis. There are more than political appointees in our government. Career CIA / military, etc have procedures to notify the POTUS in such a crisis.
Absolutely. 100% certain. Obama for certain knew about this attack and all the surrounding info, including that it had nothing to do with a video and that it was an AlQ splinter group, within hours of the start of the attack. In addition, there is not one other person on this planet responsible for ordering or not ordering a “rescue mission”. This is all Obama’s doing from top to bottom.
Next time you see a clip of Hitlery and Obama together talking about this (there are at least two instances, and probably more that have occurred since the attack) focus on Hitlery and her body language as she is standing next to him listening to his dissembling. Everything in her behavior screams “What am I doing standing next to this buffoon?”
This is on Obama - Obama alone - No one else.
My gosh! It was the anniversary of 9/11, and this dufus has the gaul to say that our military wasn't on alert! I refuse to believe that whatsoever! And you are right. McCain IS A DUFUS! Oh, how I wish he were gone from the senate!
Panetta: “Mr. President?”
Obama: “Valerie?”
Valerie Jarrett: “The President feels direct action in Libya wouldn’t be prudent and regrets that he has to deny your request.”
Good insight, Conservative Vet

“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.”This so wrong on so many levels.
Fist of all he has not said these things over the last couple of months since the minute it happened.
Second, how can he say that his first directive was to secure our personnel when in fact that clearly never happened! So who did that directive failure fall upon? And doesn't he just admit that he knew the minute it happened?
The rest of it said in past tense. How do you speak in past tense the minute it happens?
I was not able to listen to Rush yesterday but I just read the transcript and I want to thank you for speaking out. I have already voted to kick this man out of office.
Thanks for your response. It made a lot of sense to me. In line with what you said about Barry being out of the loop I read a couple of blogs last night that discussed his bad performance at the First Debate and suggested Barry was undergoing cocaine withdrawal but had been given something else to tide him over the hour and a half onstage. The thinking is that substance wore off about 20 minutes into the debate and that is when he really started dozing off or glazing over and babbling.
It was also suggested that Valerie Jarrett started withdrawing his cocaine in EARLY SEPTEMBER to prepare him for the First Debate. One of the symptoms of cocaine withdrawal is intense fatigue. If this is true perhaps it is also true that Barry really was in bed sleeping during the attacks on September 11th and was in no condition to respond to anything that was going on in Libya. Dereliction of duty none the less. Just a thought...
You are a Patriot. I heard your call and was transfixed.
You shed light when there is none with this Administration.
Thank you for your Service and for speaking out on a national program.
If only someone in this Administration would speak truth about this horrifying debacle.
Anyone else?"
A reluctantwarrior - a Patriot!
Sparticus, indeed.
He campaigns while he should be president - making calls only the POTUS can make.
It doesn't seem to bother him at all. He campaigns right in our faces.

And somebody had a responsibility to get in Obama’s face and tell him that the Libyan ambassador was missing and under attack.
And, get in his face and public as possible. To show what a weakling he is and that lives were at stake.
The photos from Benghazi consulate personnel should be shown to Obama and his staff every single day for the rest of their lives.
This had me all upset at my desk yesterday.
All who served active already knew this.
