RE: "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.

I don’t mind so much that you offered up the devil’s advocate position. It presents the opportunity to reply to it. There just isn’t any way to shift responsibility from 0bama to anyone else. He has tried at least a half dozen ways to do that since Sept. 11th and everyone gets shot down in short order. He left 41 people to die. Thankfully 37 got out.
