BREAKING...New Pentagon Benghazi timeline damns Obama (never in situation room)
11/10/2012 | barryobi

Posted on 11/10/2012 6:00:52 PM PST by barryobi

The Pentagon has just released their version of the 9/11 timeline and I think it is very interesting and damning to Obama. Specifically, we know that Panetta, Obama, Biden, and Donilon were at the White House for a previously scheduled 5 pm meeting. The attack had been going on for 50 minutes before Panetta was notified, and he was aware it was ongoing ..........................Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and his top military adviser were notified of the attack about 50 minutes after it began and were about to head into a previously scheduled meeting with President Barack Obama. The meeting quickly turned into a discussion of potential responses to the unfolding situ ation in Benghazi, where militants had surrounded the consulate and set it on fire

http://www.clarionledger.com/viewart/20121110/NEWS03/121110014/Pentagon-releases-response-timeline-Benghazi-attacks-?odyssey=tab%7Ctopnews%7Ctext%7C

Now is where the plot thickens. It appears that POTUS 'delegated' the problem to Panetta. We know POTUS called Bibi Netanyahu and spoke with for an hour AFTER the attack had started and was still ongoing..............

By Lynn Sweet on September 11, 2012 8:18 PM | President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed Iran and other issues in a hour-long phone call on Tuesday night, the White House announced--along with a statement that Netanyahu, contrary to news reports, never asked for a meeting with the president.

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/obamas-september-11-phone-call_658027.html

Why was no picture of POTUS in the 'situation room' taken that night, showing him dealing with the crisis? We know after the OBL raid, pictures of him came out right away. During the election, there was POTUS in the 'situation room' monitoring Sandy. We can now surmise the reason there was no situation room picture taken is because HE NEVER WENT THERE.....

From the Pentagon timeline released today...............

As that was happening, Panetta and Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, left the Oval Office and went into a series of meetings in the Pentagon with senior leaders to discuss how to respond to the Benghazi attack and assess the potential for other outbreaks of violence in the region. Between midnight and 2 a.m., Panetta began to issue verbal orders, telling two Marine anti-terrorism teams based in Rota, Spain, to prepare to deploy to Libya, and he ordered a team of special operations forces in Central Europe and another team of special operations forces in the U.S. to prepare to deploy to a staging base in Europe

The only conclusion that can be drawn by the Pentagon timeline is that when informed of the attack by Panetta at 5 pm DC time, Obama punted on responsibility for managing the response to the attack, which was still ongoing.

Even more damning is that at 5:30 DC time, the CIA rescue team was returning to the annex with the body of Sean Smith and the others rescued there. They would have certainly reported at this time they had recovered everyone at the consulate with the exception of AMBASSADOR STEVENS. Unless the meeting with Panetta, et al. was less than 30 minutes, Obama had to know the Ambassador was unaccounted for. If that did not necessitate a trip to the situation room, what would? Oh yeah, Hurricane Sandy a couple months later when a 'good' photo op was needed.

He may tell the truth, but if the truth is in any way damaging to Obama, whatever is left of his reputation will be savagely destroyed.

The Chicago cabal does not play nice and would not hesitate a moment to make up lies about him and even cast aspersions on his distinguished career.

If Petraeus did not know this when he went to work for them, he is quite naive.

IF this was supposed to be a simple kidnapping, why not use stealth and just take the ambassador from the premises or when he was out running? They had every opportunity. Why a full onslaught on the compound? WHY was security pulled after several attempts on the compound were thwarted?
Why have a video prepared by an FBI muslim snitch months in advance to blame the Israelis for an assault on ALL of our embassies in the ME on September 11?
Why did the Cairo embassy issue an apology for a video no one knew existed except some idiot muslim cleric who was obviously directed to it BEFORE the protests even began?
Do the name yahya al libi ring a bell?
Just for starters.

Same for Hillary, look at their countenances

I can't remember the date (about a week before the election) or from where Hillary was speaking but she had the most put out expression she could muster. She had her head cocked and talking to the ceiling and rolling her eyes rather than to the audience or camera. You could tell she was flustered and didn't want to be there.

""""if the truth is in any way damaging to Obama,""""".....

At this point in his life and the circumstances he finds himself in. I don't think he gives a DAMN about how damaging it is to OBAMA. I think he can't wait to bring that SOB down.

......The Chicago cabal????.....He has met and fought better enemies and smarter, in his lifetime than they are.

When he testifies, he will have redeemed himself to his Country, and will deserve our due respect. That is what he will desires/craves more than his life itself.

No military man/woman wants to end their careers in disgrace, not one of them.

I may agree with you on the Naive part......sad.., but the Clintons and Obama are the best SNAKE OIL SALESMEN we have ever witnessed. LIARS ALL, they have sucked a lot of people into their devious web, until they are of no more use. Time to whack em.

...............Petreaus at this time is at the lowest point of his lifetime..................

Well, that’s a yes and a no!

He’s retired from the military, so he keeps his 4star pension, and benefits, regardless of the outcome of his affair; he only has a year plus, of his civilian pension, so he doesn’t give up much; he’s already told his wife about the affair, so either they work it out, or not.

Seems to me that he’s a free agent with about $250k+ in annual retirement benes; just enough to squeek by!

While I dismissed your theory when you first put it out there, now I think it may have some merit. However I can’t see Hillary being trusted with the plan.

I understand how it works. I would be quite surprised to see the dem senate actually remove him. If we win control of the senate in two years, then he might be sent packing. -depressing-

You really think there are democRats who place their nation above their party?

Do you think there are a significant number of Americans who do? I thought so before last Tuesday. The nation knew Obama abandoned these people to their deaths and looked the other way when the nation was attacked by a military force and they enthusiastically elected him.

They also knew he armed organized crime syndicates resulting in the massacre of hundreds of innocents.

It looks like there was a deal in the works ahead of time. The enemy had been given a promise there would be no defense of the embassy.

Actually, consulate.

But it’s even stranger if the consulate was, as some allege, an arms drop off point for CIA sponsored activities. You don’t guard THAT???

“demand that they vote BO out for the murder of these 4 men.”

AND we could add Fast and Furious deaths to the list of impeachable crimes.

This man is an outrageous disgrace.

I would be willing to take part in massive protests if it meant exposing this evil weenie of a president. Feaking unbelievable that he got re-elected.
