The White House on Saturday flatly denied that President Barack Obama withheld requests for help from the besieged American compound in Benghazi, Libya, as it came under on attack by suspected terrorists on September 11th.

"Neither the president nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi," National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told Yahoo News by email.

Well, there’s a third option, Valerie Jarrett could be calling the shots from outside the White House, where ever she is.

From: Charge of the Light Brigade— “Lord Lucan, you have lost the Light Brigade (Me, Sir? I will not be blamed— I followed both verbal and written orders in your handwriting- hands Lord Ragland the written orders—) and Ragland says: “Not MY handwriting, and looks at his adjutant to WHOM he dictated the orders” Adjutant says “ I will not be blamed”.

Here is short piece on the actual written order now in the National Army Museum in the UK.

There is a lot of precedent for chicken crap leadership all dodging. But in this case we ALL know who was “leading from behind” . I want to know where Valerie Jarrett was, since the p**sy can’t make any decision without her OK, poofter that he is.

Is there some kind of rule that you can’t quit your job as President? Obama has to know he looks like PeeWee Herman’s not very bright brother. He asked for this job. He spent a lot of time, money and effort to become the President. But he doesn’t want to do the job? He doesn’t want to make the hard calls? Then he should quit. He’s got enough money now to have a great retirement for decades. I’m sure Bill Maher and that idiot woman from “sex with me is a pity”, could give him some money. And I’m sure he could find something to do to keep busy. He could volunteer at the animal shelter to help make up for those dogs he ate. He could sit in a bar and give legal advice to drunks. The world is his oyster now! He just needs to resign as President and go find that oyster and open it up and reach inside and grab that pearl that’s waiting for him! The pearl may look like a black garbage bag, but who wants a racist white pearl anyway.

A suggestion/warning for all ambassadors/embassy staff posted in dangerous areas.

Don’t depend on help from POTUS, SOD, SOS or the CIA! They will not respond to any SOS’s. Then they will deny that you asked for help.

Buy or rent an Iridium Sat Phone and put Fox News Desk, Rush, Drudge, Rush and Free Republic on your speed dial, to text or call when you don’t want to be slaughtered and need help.

That way the liars of this administration in charge of denying protection for you, can’t deny that you asked for help.

Don’t waste your remaining time contacting ABCNNBCBS! They are too busy protecting Obozo and his liars while looking for binder and racism lies save the butt of the traitor and his fellow thugs!

Obama didn’t want to tarnish his Peace Prize.

Very good question. I'd like to know where Valerie Jarrett was and where David Axelrod was.

Note that the White House has "declined comment" on a.) exactly when the President first learned of the situation in Benghazi and b.) when he first met with his National Security Council on the issue.

It may well be that the President was, for some reason, "not engaged"...

3. He walked away, and went to bed. No affirmative, no denial. Just walked away.

Well, it was reported on 9/12 that Obama had a meeting for with NSA in WA DC at 5PM on 9/11. I remember wondering if it was an internet meeting.

They have video and tape running 24/7 at those places. It is a flip of the switch to send it up to the satellite and out to several different locations.

He granted the request by outsourcing it to the 17th whatever brigade that had already failed to protect the Ambassador.

Remember when he complained that Bush “outsourced” the war in Afghanistan????

Interesting. I hadn't heard that. Timing is right, since the attack began at 3:40 PM Washington time on 9/11.

However, there was a recent report where that direct question was asked of a White House spokesman (not Carney) and the response was a flat "decline to comment".

i’m actually surprised that Obama didn’t jump on this as his “october surprise” to show himself as the “heroic” commander in chief, rescuing americans etc...

Because if the rumors are true floating around Washington....THIS WAS HIS OCTOBER SURPRISE...it just went horribly wrong and he was not man enough to save his own people instead he turned an ran.

Petraeus essentially blamed Obama for this he should stand up and do that plainly and make any tapes or transcripts the CIA has public.

In diplomatic speech Patraeus was very clear where he was laying the blame and telling the Congress and Senate where this was going to go when pursued.

Obama slept through the 3am calls. There were three.

it’s always someone else’s “fault”.

The buck always stops with someone else today. It's the Washington way today unlike back in Harry Truman's or Dwight Eisenhower's day when the buck stopped right on the President's desk no matter who screwed up. They were big enough men to handle it.

We went from that to "plausible denialibility" under Clinton to complete "denial of responsibility" under Obama in a short 15 years.

The government gets bigger and bigger, and no one ever accepts responsibility for anything that goes wrong even though more and more stuff always goes wrong, but it is never anyone's fault.

Not a good trend for our Republic.

Anytime an ambassador is under attack , the WhiteHouse gets a flash message, and another message is sent to the President’s ‘situation room ‘.
The president was notified AUTOMATICLY .
So he was advised .

The question is : “Where did the order to ‘stand down’ originate from ?
and ... why was the order issued ?
