Petraeus Throws Obama Under the Bus

Breaking news on Benghazi: the CIA spokesman, presumably at the direction of CIA director David Petraeus, has put out this statement: "No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ”

So who in the government did tell “anybody” not to help those in need? Someone decided not to send in military assets to help those Agency operators. Would the secretary of defense make such a decision on his own? No.

It would have been a presidential decision. There was presumably a rationale for such a decision. What was it? When and why—and based on whose counsel obtained in what meetings or conversations—did President Obama decide against sending in military assets to help the Americans in need?

And the wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round....

This is escalating to the Oval Office by the minute.

Circular firing squad forming. Screw all of them.

It’s gets a lot more ugly from here.

I was listening to this story unfold today on Rush - with some special ops guy who called in to the show.

My blood was boiling to think they left these guys for dead.

Obama needs to be impeached for treason.

Tonight the leading story on the network news will be Frankenstorm, except for Fox.

There isn’t time for impeachment. We need to get him and his ilk as far away from the WH as possible on Nov. 6th - then hold hearings and indict them for treason.

Every now and then when I listen to talk radio, there are really some emotional, amazing moments. That call took my breath away and made me weep for the father and others who have yet to get the answers they need.

[Ann Archy]

ANYONE and EVERYONE WORKING FOR OBAMA IS SCUM!!!!!!!<P.WHY did Betrayus take the job working for OBAMA???? Because he’s a DEMOCRAT SKANK!!!!

[DesertRhino]

Petraeus is a coward. He knows exactly what happened and won’t tell us. His kibuki dance is another form of dishonesty. Again, he abandons the men fighting for their lives.

COLIN POWELL: ... Not only am I not comfortable with what Governor Romney is proposing for his economic plan, I have concerns about...his views on foreign policy...

This is escalating to the Oval Office by the minute.

Yep, it's crumbling all around the liars.

[skeeter]

This story is gaining steam by the moment. I've been following politics & foreign affairs for decades and I've never seen anything like it.

It has all the hallmarks of a really, really big scandal.

And I'm not seeing a damn thing about it on the network news.

Lots of people KNOW exactly who knew what and who did what. Time for true patriots to step forward and speak-up and put the USA first and stop bowing to PC/partisan politics.

[hflynn]

Or maybe he was waiting for an opportunity which has suddenly presented itself.
