Some one in the White Hut either did not inform the POTUS in real time...

Not believable. That would be a courts martial offense to fail that duty. In any case it is all logged.

Agree. There is always supposed to be a senior military person siting in the situation room watching the monitors and receiving and giving out calls as required.
I was only giving the only options within the scope of the scenario to be considered.
So it always points directly into the POTUS's face. He failed his duties as CIC, a US Ambassador and three very honorable military folks died on his watch. Sadly we have only one option. Treason was committed.
