Obama did not talk to his Sec Def after 5 pm.

So where was the CIC later when all the junk was taking place?

I hope Congress will be hard after him for his schedule for that day.

I don't know why he could claim the schedule is classified and can't be released to the public...he should have simply been meeting/talking to advisors, etc. There should be nothing secret there...or is there?

It’s not true.

Locals found the ambassador and honestly tried to save him by taking him to the hospital.

Everyone in Benghazi is not a whacked out jihadi. Most appreciated the US efforts to get rid of Qaddafi.

Hillary vs. Obama, I put my money on the Clintonista.

Imagine.......Fighting over cowardess and abandonment credentials.

Democrats deserve so much better.

Who else had the authority to order the senior military officer in Tripoli to stand down, and then order the two former Navy SEALS who were already in Benghazi to stand down as well?

He froze, he knew what was going on, he couldn’t make a decision.

I hope this comes out and this is pinned down to a reasonable doubt for someone that isn’t a wing nut.

This is the same man that took months to make other similar decisions.

“It would have been Valerie Jarrett who would have given the order.”

I agree, because Barry is just the White House Mascot.

(maybe it’s time to change my tagline from soros to valerie jarrette.)

O’LENIN DID NOT HAVE TO GIVE A STAND DOWN ORDER.Because reaction would be across a national border he had to give the order to go. B not giving the order , he just went t o bed, our assets could not be used. Any commander who started to act must be told to stand down by his commander if no go order has come from the president. That does not, however explain why the men in Tripoli were called back. It was two already in Lybia who defied the “stand down” to hustle to Benghazi ans, at the cost of their own lives, rescued 30 people.

What if a tape exists showing the truth? The White House seems in panic mode. They held an off the record press conference with their Democratic Media Drones.

To summarize what Rush Limbaugh has been saying for days:

At about 5pm eastern time in Washington, we’re told that Obama met separately with Hillary Clinton and Leon Panetta telling each they needed to handle the attack in Benghazi.

Neither Hillary Clinton nor Panetta had the authority to order the military into action. And, conversely, neither could legally order the military to “stand down” during an attack on sovereign territory.

Obama’s whereabouts after 5 pm (Washington time) are undocumented. We are to believe Obama was having fish tacos and watching TV...while a terrorist attack was occurring on the 10 year anniversary of 9-11? Really?

Can Obama be impeached over the lies? It seems as if the White House is overly concerned the mainstream media is asking too many questions. The Carney circus keeps the lies coming.

I’d bet that he was with Reggie and had the “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door.

The terrorist took Stevens to a hospital that was run/headquarters for a terrorist group. Hicks and others wouldn’t go to that hospital for that reason, they thought it a trap. I can get old articles that support what Hicks testified to Wed. Terrorist controlled the hospital that Stevens was taken to. It was their headquarters.
