Retired Lt. Col.: My Sources Say Obama Was in the Room Watching Benghazi Attack Happen

Retired Army Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer said Saturday he has sources saying President Barack Obama was in the room at the White House watching the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya unfold.

Two unarmed U.S. drones were dispatched to the consulate and recorded the final hours of the attack, which killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

“This was in the middle of the business day in Washington, so everybody at the White House, CIA, Pentagon, everybody was watching this go down,” Shaffer said on Fox News’ “Justice with Judge Jeanine.” “According to my sources, yes, [Obama] was one of those in the White House Situation Room in real-time watching this.”

...

Shaffer said the question now is what precisely Obama did or didn’t do in the moments he saw the attack unfolding. The CIA reportedly made three urgent requests for military backup that were each denied.

“He, only he, could issue a directive to Secretary of Defense Panetta to do something. That’s the only place it could be done,”

As my 4 year old cousin would say..DUH!! Of course he was in the room, and probably high fiving everyone as four brave Americans were being slaughtered

Barry probably had a queer cat spat with the ambassador, wanted him dead, and wanted to see it happen.

During and after Benghazi, Obama was AWOL as Commander in Chief, Period!

A clear Dereliction of Duty!

If true, and I would be more surprised if it was not, does this rise to the level of treason?

Drip, drip, drip. As interesting and possibly criminal as this looks, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN until a Select Committee with subpoena power is appointed.

I suggest Trey Gowdy to head the committee. Let him get warmed up to become AG in 2017.

Obama could have been in radio contact personally with the attackers themselves. There could be actual recorded audio of him telling the attackers where to aim, and which doors to focus their assault. And nothing, NOTHING would be done about it by the lapdog media and spineless investigative commissions.

So what does it matter at this point?

He could have ordered one drone to crash into the attackers and possibly ended it....

Nah. That would take sense.

Remember, it was a total of 41 Americans who could have died that night, and this President did NOTHING to help them.

Three died trying to save the others, and others were wounded, some severely, trying to stay alive that night.

The central question is what was Obama doing that night?

I am not sure he was engaged at all. No one in the Administration did their sworn job that night.

WHY?

Why were the men lasing targets under fire? Cuz that was THE PLAN —they were FOLLOWING the plan in the faith others would, too.

Bengazi had no heavy weapons for defense cuz they plan was to rely on rapid response from US aircraft armed with the precision weapons that have become so familiar.

Thousands of unseen faces behind the scenes were moving Heaven and earth to save those men. The Prez had the very smallest, easiest and most important job at Bengazi:

A SINGLE WORD “GO” WOULD HAVE SUFFICED BUT WAS TOO MUCH FOR THIS INSECT, who hoped they’d all simply go away and quietly DIE.

They were fighting for EIGHT HOURS and painting targets for aircraft that NEVER CAME.

The Crux of “Lone Survivor” was they couldn’t establish radio communications during the whole long time they were combatting the enemy.

But imagine instead that same movie, but all while that they’re getting little body pices SHOT OFF THEIR BODY and driven over cliffs onto boulders that their Commander in Chief was WATCHING IT ALL HAPPEN IN PERFECT GLORIOUS DETAIL.

Cuz ya know what?

THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE HERE.

Perfect commo and perfect picture BUT THE SAME RESCUE:

**NO** RESCUE.

But here is the REALLY chilling part:

WHY would he WATCH it?

Because politically it WOULD BE GOOD FOR HIM if they all died..!

See?

It MAKES SENSE that he was watching it.

In the first place .. it wasn’t a Consulate .. it was a “Mission Station”.

Secondly, my military sources tell me the President should have been given a Cross Border Authority (”CBA”) document to sign so our people could go into Libya. Evidently, Obama did not sign it .. so nobody could move.

We need the evidence showing Obama did not sign it .. and it resulted in 4 Americans dying. No one but the President can sign the CBA.

Drip, drip, drip is right.

This just keeps coming back to the forefront. Like an unpaid bill.

Maybe it WILL make a difference after all.

I think the central question is why did he want them all dead?

I wonder if NSA has done any searching for selfie type photos/videos of what was occurring sent from Benghazi guys from devices before they all died? I remember seeing lots of selfies taken by those bastards dragging that poor dead ambassador down the street with his pants down. They sure as hell got their photos circulated on the net. I wonder if anyone has some from those poor dead guys.
