WASHINGTON - 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.

White House 'Aides'. You can smell the lies on their breath.
The weasel lawyer words. The CYA. The blame shifting.
The simple reality is that our heroes on the ground and our Ambassador in Benghazi were abandoned and betrayed. Help from the planes circling overhead was denied and now they are dead.
Discuss.

They never ordered that help be sent! That is the same as refusing to send help.

Impeach them for dereliction of duty! Try them for manslaughter! Hang them from the Washington Monument!

(Them is everyone who was in the 'situation room')

Yes we know he was asleep at 3am not to be disturbed...BS, he was in the situation room and did nothing to save his own hide and narrative that AlQueda was beaten...

I do not understabd how and why the idiot prez can spout such drivel. He either has no memory or is a congenital liar. He must go back to wherever he came from without any perks. Check the WH thoroughly for stolen items, dems seem to have sticky fingers.

So, since Hillary has refused to roll over and the CIA warns not to accuse them of this utter incompetency, it appears that Leon Panetta will be Obama's fall guy.
.... After all, we all KNOW the president would never have flown to Las Vegas if he had known what was going on .... right?

Panetta said he and top military commanders had judged it too dangerous to send troops to the eastern Libyan city without a clearer picture of events on the ground.

That certainly sounds like a denial of help to me!

Yep. Clintonian lawyerspeak. And note:

The key thing is that Obama, Biden, and Panetta sat there, receiving information, and said, "geeze, let's not let this affect our elections chances"

In other words, they POLITICIZED the events/response as they unfolded.

Then, in the usual Obama projection impulse, he accused Republicans of politicizing.

Reminds me of the Nazi response to D-Day. No one wanted to wake Hitler to ask permission to move troops to Normandy.

In this case, Obama was afraid to wake Valarie Jerrett and ask permission to send help to Benghazi.

The problem for the MSM and their media blackout is that they cannot even deny the charges emanating from the blogosphere and Fox since the issue does not exist.

Everybody knows the decision not to help was purely political. barry wasn't interested in anything other than his re-election & I'm certain the only "expert" advise he received was from jarrett & axelgrease.

My stomach turns every time I hear this story. The Ambassador ~ The others who died ~ and they really could care less ~ it's all about covering their butts and saying nobody was to blame ~ meanwhile those people are Murdered. Nice to know who really gives a S--- !!!

I think this is probably an accurate statement. Neither BHO nor any one in the administration denied the request for assistance. It was ValJar and she does not hold an official office. Think BJ Clinton and the definition of 'is'.

And this harmonious consensus with the military commanders is why they are being fired at the rate of 2 a day? This is Zippy's Saturday Night Massacre.

Parse it.

"The White House on Saturday flatly denied that President Barack Obama withheld requests for help..."

What does this mean?

BO was in no position to "withhold requests."

The requests were not his initiative. They came from Libya.

I HATE it when people lie like this, distorting the language.

I heard Chris Wallace say this morning that obama has now said that he issued the order that the Consulate be given the assistance that they needed. If true, then someone might be thrown under the bus for disobeying the little great one's order. Of course, we know it's not true and no such order was issued. The liars are busy going through files to see who they can throw under the bus and force to keep quiet about the truth. I hope they pick wrong and the person they fire sings like a bird. I'm sure they're hoping they can drag this out until after the election. They're in panic mode and not thinking straight--not sure their brains do that anyway. The lies will catch up to them and the buck should stop at the great little "I am the President" one. Yeah, in the words of John McCain, that one.

"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.

That is not technically a lie if Mr. Vietor has personal knowledge that Obama is not legitimately "the president" and the denial of requests was made while our Pretender-in-Chief was outside of the White House.

Obama needs to come clean
on Benghazi

The Benghazi debacle has three parts: how we neglected security while al-Qaeda was building a presence in Libya; whether the administration tried to mislead the public as to the nature of the attack; and now whether the administration denied pleas for help from operatives on the ground at the consulate. Now, presumably at the behest of Gen. David Petraeus — who has been remarkably tight-lipped and not defended his agency against White House accusations that senior officials’ misstatements were the fault of the CIA — the CIA threw the hot potato right back in the politicians’ laps.

Mitt Romney has opened up a clear lead over Barack Obama in their presidential race. That owes a great deal to the candidates’ debate performances, of course. But something else is going on, too. In recent days, Obama’s approval rating has taken a perceptible hit. Via the Weekly Standard, we see that in the Rasmussen survey, only 47% approve of Obama’s job performance, while 52% disapprove. There are two plausible explanations for Obama’s current slide: voters may be disgusted by the mean, petty campaigning he is running, or they may disapprove of his handling of the Benghazi crisis. Or both.

Reports indicate two drones and an AC-130 gunship were in the area when Benghazi was attacked, yet their resources were not used. This runs completely against the current explanation coming out of the White House, which is that Obama did everything he could once he learned of the attack. You'll remember that in the second presidential debate, Obama said that as "soon as I was aware the Benghazi consulate was being overrun, I was on the phone with my national security team." The not-so-subtle intimation is that Obama was stepping up to the protect the U.S. personnel who were in Libya.

Washington — President Barack Obama will nominate Army Gen. David Rodriguez to succeed Gen. Carter Ham as commander of U.S. Africa Command and Marine Lt. Gen. John Paxton to succeed Gen. Joseph Dunford as assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced Thursday. Both appointments must be confirmed by the Senate. Rodriguez is the commander of U.S. Army Forces Command and has served in a “variety of key leadership roles on the battlefield,” Panetta said. He’s “a proven leader” who oversaw coalition and Afghan forces during

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
