...maybe the White House DID think it was going to be a kidnapping and were just waiting for the ransome note to come through...

...pre-arranged of course my Ms. ValJer...

Look closely, people. This is your CIC, who turns his back when a decision from him is needed. Reminds me of the mayor in that old tv show, Carter Country. When a problem arose, he would turn to a staffer and in his high-pitched voice say "Handle it! Handle it!" Now we have a real life version of that mayor in charge of the country.

It´s beyond time to take Barry´s CIC duties away from him and give them to someone who can handle the duties.

Now we see how the MSM lets this slide by.

The cold-hearted testimony of panetta and dempsey reflects their boss´ character.....and, unfortunately, the character of the voters of this country. I think the people (military, diplomatic, tourists)better stay in this country and clean it up. To travel outside the borders means you are on your own and obama has painted a target on your back.

We shouldn´t be surprised by this. After all, this is the senator who voted "present" rather than to be pinned down on his opinions.

Kudos to Senator Ayotte. We´re finally getting some details and confirmation to our initial observations that Obama had gone to bed and couldn´t be bothered. Rather reminecent of the German General Officers on D day who were unable to reach Hitler because he had taken a sleeping pill. History repeats itself as farce.

If Zippy doesn´t know what´s going on, he can´t be held accountable for any outcomes. ´Handling it´ is Val´s job. Obama had to go skeet shooting. The Wookie loves ´em deep fried like her Twinkees.

Liars all. POTUS,SECOS,SECOD along with the tree Monkey Ancors, News Papers and Leftist pundits. Reminds me of Seargeant Schulz...I know nothing, see nothing or hear nothing.
Congress after all this hoopala goes on with business as usual. Boehner the House blubberer and Reid the NO VOTE senate toilet flusher.
Do nothings all of them while the country begins to move toward total govermental, financial and security collapse.
Justices just 9 pins in black robes cloistered in the ash piles of constitutional precedents now long collapsed in stupid judgements like Roberts school boy decision.
Chaos,anarchy and Catostrophy of low probability of ever being resolved.
Twisted Truth indeed. Bah.

Jimmy Carter lost Iran, our long-time ally and business partner. There´s no telling what damage these clowns are creating for us down the road. (Down the road is when Barry will be a centi-millionaire with a hundred honorary degrees, and Mooch will weigh 300.)

Democrats want a disgraceful commander in chief, because they don´t respect the office.

Obama was in one this,all this testimony is a complete lie to CYA Obama.For the sake of argument let´s say he wasn´t informed,why wouldn´t somebody be fired for not letting him know?

If i was the president getting blindsided by this,i would be throwing things around the WH in a fit of rage and firing people right a left.No so with Obama because it´s no big deal people died..

People around the world may not have liked Bush,personalty wise but they respected the fact he stood up for his country and it´s safety.They like Obama because they think it´s a step forward for a minority president,even though his policies are a disaster.

File it in the "Dog Ate My Homework " folder!

This is only the first act. I have no doubt there will be another incident, much worse, that will knock him off his styrofoam pedestal.

It is very typical situation in dictatorship.
Everybody in the top of the leadership knows that Obama will take the credit when results are good (Bin Laden) and everybody knows they will have to take a fall if something goes wrong.
In that situation Hilary, Panetta and rest of them are paralyzed and afraid of making decision.
Same situation happen when Hitler army made preemptive strike on Russian army getting ready for attack in summer of 1941.

This is so disturbing on so many different levels.

The key paragraph in this article is this -

If Panetta is to be believed -- and we can only assume that if he is lying, he is doing so to protect his boss from even worse revelations -- then Obama was either completely unavailable that night (September 11!) or completely unwilling to take steps to help Americans who he knew were in the process of being killed in Benghazi.

Either scenario should be grounds to haul his butt out of the WH in chains and throw him in a cell UNDER Leavenworth.

Looks like we have a full blown situation that would result in impeachment of any other President. Unfortunately, it will not. Obama will not be held accountable for this. Big media will see to that.

The Republicans are like victims who can´t muster the will to stand up to their abuser. The Karl Roves of the world are more concerned with the next election than they are the real danger that we face today. More than half of this country has been brainwashed into believing that Obama is god. Face it, it is not looking good for this country. When Obama and his administration are allowed to run roughshod over the Constitution and aren´t held accountable for anything they do, we are on the fast track to tyranny.

I often wonder what the Founding Fathers would think of our stewardship of the government they gave us. Profound disappointment, I would guess.

The soft coup has already taken place. No one seems tocare much about this. We are sooooo screwed. Comrade Ø rules, ValJar and Moich demand that we bow and wirship...msm lapdogs hump Ø´s leg. Weskth being redistributed to andnsquandered by the underclass on crack , malt liquor, and tattoos, while their baby chirrens run wild. Homeland security has millions of rounds of hollowpoint bullets to kill dissemters and Ø has a kill switch for the internet and drones to back up his terroristic regime.

#5 Panetta and Dempsey are not cold-hearted, but rather after years of dealing with these situations for Dempsey, anyway) they do SOUND cold hearted. But I assure in the privacy of their hearts they are crying copious tears for the four dead men in Benghazi. And I promise you Dempsey feels great guilt for men lost under his command. Especially men who did not have to die.

After hearing yesterday´s testimony of Panetta and Dempsey, I give more credence to the under the radar story of Panetta and Hillary taking matters in their own hands and giving the Seals the order to get Bin Laden; and calling the limp-di-k President off the golf course when the deal was nearly done...maybe they just photoshopped him into the oficial photographs.

President LD Obama is incapable of making the hard decisions and is never available for the 30 A.M. Call...neither is Hillary.

One more thought - if zippy can order Americans to be killed without due process, shouldn´t we be able to throw him out of office without due process?

I´d welcome a military coup right about now.

Have we impeached b hussein yet?

I suspect that the gutless punk Indonesian Moslem was hiding under the bed in the Lincoln bedroom, terrified that he might actually be required to make a decision.

...the same as when he voted ...present........

"To twisted to contemplate!"

Start impeachment hearings immediately!

The families should sue for failure of the president to do his "..primary duty -- namely, to protect its citizens against foreign aggression."

I know, I know, can´t sue government - but there must be SOMETHING to stop this weak, incompetent, anti-American, evil narcissist.

It was Beyonce´s birthday for cripes sake.

They had ordered special treats from Krispy Kreem, never mind any of that military/CIA crap.

Obama was busy. As always. Partying.

It is because of this (lack of) response that so many in our country believe this pResident is capable of using drones on segments of the population in THIS country. He is a cold, evil person.
I applaud Senator Graham who stated on Fox last night that he will keep asking questions until it is made public what the pResident was doing during that attack.

Hillary took the blame for Benghazi, which is meaningless.
But those on the left were cool with that.

Wow. But then, we knew this, didn´t we. Like his college grades, Fast and Furious, and so many other things I can´t even begin to list, if there had been an honorable explanation, we´d have known them by now. Don´t think our enemies aren´t watching this and making plans.

Give him a break, people. Zippy was probably reading his bible or "doing skeet shooting."

Our only hope for the next four years is to keep this man on the golf course, smoking cigarettes and paying for Moochelle´s wardrobe. He is good for nothing else.

Panetta is a pasty-faced bureaucrat, slavishly serving the dims, but deep down he appears to be an honest man, who can´t bring himself to lie and obfuscate the way the PIAPS and Fauxbama do.

Commander-in-Chief Child-in-Charge

One-and-the-Same Each above his pay grade.

Phew, I´m sure glad this came out before the election so that the American People could see what a malfeasant, cowardly ne´er-do-well we have occupying the oval office and do the right thing by kicking him out of office...

/s

It troubles me greatly to think that our conservative media outlets, like Fox and even Rush would rather sit around a talk about nutty liberals that report the specifics about current events. Illustrating absurdity by being absurd had it´s place but that ship has sailed.

Liberals either don´t give a rip about this country´s future or they´re too blind to know better, and conservatives have become so distracted by liberals that nothing relevant is even being reported any more.

I happened to catch O´Reilly last night. He could have been discussing the specifics of Benghazi. Instead he was talking about Tony Bennett, Chris Rock and the possibility of Ashley Judd running for Senate. None of these people matter right now.

Watching Fox is like watching someone play whack-a-mole. A sad waste of my time.

It is interesting that there have been so many resignations in this administration. Realize that Panetta{after today} will not be available for any more public testimony. Nor will clinton. Gen Hamm should have been there yesterday, but wasn´t. He was demoted.

There really has been a purge of the knowlegable. Wonder if these two were "advised" to consider leaving, despite Clinton´s statements.

If the Senate approves all the "new" appointees,it will prove that obama´s long range plans to install a government much like those in the middle East, then we know that the US Congress{Senate}has been in the planning stage for years.

Face it - - Zippy gets away with these crimes because his only opposition is a pack of gutless Pubbies who are always comfortable hiding in the deep weeds.

It is now five months after the attack - - how come not one linguini-spined Pubbie has demanded a minute-by-minute accounting of what Zippy was doing on Sept. 11 and the following day? FIVE months - - and no accounting!

Geez - - do I really have to ask why? We all know why - - Pubbies are emasculated girly-boys - - each and every one of them!

Sounds to me like an dereliction of duty, an impeachable offense and since he is allegedly CiC this may also be treason if you look at the definition of the law. So...impeachment AND treason charges need to be brought against Zero IMMEDIATELY, and treason can be a capital offense. It´s time for the pubs to get a backbone and DO IT!

FTA: "Through it all, Obama´s White House simply did not respond or engage. Given the auspiciousness of the date and the seriousness of the attack, we must now ask, with the utmost gravity, ´Why not?´"

I think the answer is obvious. If this indeed had been "the biggest national security emergency of his presidency" Obama, Jarrett, and others would have been frantically trying to put together the response that would yield the greatest political benifit for Obama, and they would have put him out front to take credit for any success and to cast blame for any failure. That is their pattern. Witness the immediate lap-taking over OBL.

However, that is NOT what happened here, and the only reasonable explanation is that they did not think it WAS a "national security emergency." They thought it was something else. Something they knew was coming. Something they had advance notice of. Something they may have even had a hand in planning. A bit of political theater designed to set up the narrative they were ready to roll out over the video. Something they planned to milk during and after the election.

The Cairo embassy "apology" was issued BEFORE the demonstrations began. Oops!

Given the way they have politicized the Sandy Hook shooting to make a direct run at the Second Amendment, could the video narrative have been designed to set up a direct run at the First?

"we were all giving Obama the benefit of the doubt on being human"

Oh no we weren´t. When the crisis began, we knew obama was going to screw it up, it was all a matter of how and when. He HAD to know what was going on. The SS with him would have made sure he was aware because they were certainly aware. He was either (A) drunk and unable to understand and make a decision or (B) afraid to make a decision. Either way, four Americans died on his watch and he did nothing but jet off to Vegas for three days of golf.

Bigger Question

Why has Hillary been going around the world destroying select nation´s governments, causing untold amounts of death and destruction, while rewarding select nations - like Burma (Myanmar), a rogue drug warlord hell on earth - with direct first nation contact with MY FREAKING NATION??

... no Republican has said Boo.

When I was in the Navy, they called this "Dereliction of Duty," and it was considered a very bad thing. You know, like "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" sort of a very bad thing.

At this point I long for Bill Clinton and Monika Lewinski. Corruption, incompetence, and moral departure was so much simpler then.

L.I.V. Press Release

#1 & #40, you are on the right track.

When you look at the facts, which are:
1) Obama wanted to free the Blind Sheik (mastermind of the first WTC bombing), but knew we´d raise hell if he just did it.
2) Security was ordered away from the embassy in the days prior to the attack.
3) The attackers, when they found the Ambassador alive (but suffering from smoke inhalation), they cried "Allahu Akbar!". They wanted him alive, because he was their trade bait for the Blind Sheik.

This was a bungled kidnapping of one our own government officials, orchestrated and approved by people who put him there. How on earth is this not a crime and/or impeachable offense?

Pick your favorite mentally twisted tyrant in history, go back and compare, reearch, the terrifying things your favorite tyrant did to his subjects and slaves. Compare to what our current occupier of the WH is doing right now, mean nasty things, under cover of the day and night protection of Diane Sawyer, Scott Pelly, Brian Williams. Pick one. Obamao could be anyone in history, any pharoah, dictator, madman generalissimo, king, czar, high priest, fuehrer, chairman mao, islamic spremicist, premiere, Julius Caesar, even Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Pick one out enjoy the similarities of sickness and destruction. Could Panetta be considered at least a mild mannered whistleblower? Bless him.

obama spent 15mins listening to panetta then went away to watch tv or something while 30+ people were fighting for their lives.

obam, clinton, panetta spent months covering up.

The corrupt media going along!

Seems consisted with the great coward´s record of voting "Present" whenever there was a difficult vote in the Senate.

Impeaching that lazy pot-smoking coke-snorting skeet-shooting foreign exchange student would be a good start, along with Biden, and jail time for both, leaving Boehner to run the country until the next fraudulent election.

Bow-Boy: well on his way to be one of the top despicable sons-of-bucks in the annuals of cowardice.

This birth certificate challenged, arrogant coward is beyond impeachment, way beyond impeachment.

What an absolutely hateful caricature of an assumed bi-pedal, a consummate incompetent who slept while the ambassador was being raped and killed, who did absolutely nothing to help these doomed souls, absolutely nothing. He let them be murdered. He is complicit in this barbaric occidental act against humanity.

Bow-Boy will pay, ultimately, but it will be neither enough or soon enough.

Too many self-deleted posts. I give up.

Won´t accept author´s conclusion that BO will skate... this assumtion has been made over and again, BECAUSE --in part-- we accept it, and do nothing but gripe and complain.

What can we do? admittedly, not much other than something simple which turns out to be important: call or otherwise contact those in Congress who ARE trying to get to the bottom, the very deep, slimey bottom, of these matters.

If they don´t hear from us, they do not know if their efforts matter. Human beings as they are (!) it makes a difference to get moral support, exhortations.

For critics of FOX, true, the cable channel is not perfect, but FOX investigates, pursues, covers the thorniest of issues. FOX is the only "news" outlet on tv that does this. --why else is the Dem/Left so eager to neutralize FOX? Our support is important.

We also need to keep trying to open the minds of those in our circle of acquaintances. I keep telling myself over and over: never give up, even on those minds apparently cemented shut.

tiny wienie will not make any decision that can come back and bite him.
Who would he be able to blame for a bad decision but himself and he won´t be put in that position

#s 1,40 & 46 dead on target. There is no other explanation. Zippy and the gang knew beforehand. The ambassador was to be ´traded´ for the blind Sheikh to give cover before the election.
All we need now is a repeal of the 22nd Amendment (especially) applying to the current incumbent. Don´t worry people are busy on it.

Give it up. No one cares anymore. The whole spin on this revolved around the weird idea that Obama´s reelection chances all hinged on the public believing that he was the guy who won the war on terror once and for all. So if he admitted that Benghazi was a terrorist attack, then poof—Mitt Romney is the 45th president of the United States.

Obama was celebrating 09-01-2011 and stoned out of his mind on cocaine or this was a bungled kidnapping which he was involved in so he knew what was supposed to happen (or both).

Did anyone remind Penetta that purgery is punishable with jail time? Oh wait, Zippy will parton his whole crew.

I don´t believe a damn word of it....

He knew.... they ALL knew and ordered the stand down...

What makes anybody think they wouldn´t run an order to launch a rescue operation by the president for a yes or no?

I call flat out BS on ALL of it...

State said they were watching the events on 9/11 in real time. Panetta says he informed Obomination when he went to the WH for his scheduled meeting an hour and a half into the attack and they only discussed it for fifteen minutes. Why weren´t they in the situation room trying to figure out what to do from the onset of this attack? Why weren´t Shrill and Panetta not summoned immediately? Do we even know where Shrill was during this attack?

I wonder what happened to the Native americans-the Indians. The Amvbassador´s mother was full blooded indian. Which made the Amb half. They should have come out to vindicate him partic since the donks are such supporters. The Native americans should demand an explanation what happened.

Weakness invites terrorism.


Dick Cheney

I think that the most interesting testimony about the ecvents of 9/11/2012 would be that of Gen. Petraeus. I don´t know what they had on him to shut him up, certainly it was more than some trumped up dalienc with a bimbo.
Maybe he will man up some day soon and let the truth come out.
Remember David, Truth, Honor Country.
