LIAR...COMMUNIST...


watched our people suffer and die....not worthy to clean the shoes of our SEALS....

You bet we are livid....

The Islamobammunists must go

Leon,
At the end of the day you left a bunch of unarmed people to die.
Now, who was the idiot that said they could not have loaded weapons? A marine on a roof with an automatic rifle and plenty of ammunition could have made a very big difference.

What proof is needed. Our people are dead and you let them die.

Obama voted present.

Panetta does not have a background necessary for the job he is in. He has always been a political wonk, no real work history. On top of that, he is a dove, definitely not qualified to be Secretary of Defense.

He's been in over his head since he was a California Congresscritter.

In my 32 years I never saw a situation like this when we didn't at least get some planes in the air. Peace prize my a**.

American citizens died while his highness and the SOS yucked it up. Three AM phone call, nice going.

Real time feed, e-mails and 2 Seals fighting for 8 hours waiting for the help that never came. Panetta is a disgrace as is his boss. Disgusting cowardly swine.

Obama played Las Vegas.

Not to worry. Obama, the Master Negotiator, will arrange for prior written notice from the Al-Qs just before their next atrocity. Unfortunately, it will be misplaced before action can be initiated.

“Help. We are going down for the third time”

“Be patient. We have to do a study on the situation before we can throw you a lifeline”

HEY! Give Panetta a break! It was dangerous in Benghazi and he knew it. They had information the embassy was under attack and Americans, including the U.S. ambassador, were being killed. There was confusion, gunfire, rockets, mortars and blazing fires set by armed attackers. You think he was going to send U.S. military personnel into a risky situation like that, before he was sure exactly what was happening? That would have been irresponsible. Someone could have gotten hurt or even killed by such preciptate action. Panetta, the consummate professional, knew he should wait until all the facts were in before acting. Events have proved him right. For as Hillary Clinton keeps reminding us, all of the facts are STILL not in. It is STILL too soon to be sure what really happened, when, how, why, etc. For weeks afterward it was too dangerous for the FBI to investigate, so journalists and others had to sift through the wreckage of the embassy and retrieve whatever papers and classified information they could find. I say three cheers for Secretary Panetta for not putting our military forces in harm's way without knowing for sure what they might be getting into.

Simply disgraceful Panetta. Can you imagine your last 7 or 8 hours on this earth, 7 or 8 hours of your life prior to your death, being smoked out, shot at, tortured, all the while knowing that because you are a United States citizen working on behalf of the US Government in a war zone, that US forces are on their way to rescue you. Are you imagining that Panetta? Your body is torn up, the pain is unbearable, but you have that knowledge that hope that help is on its way. But you can see both sides of it can't you? Aided by drones you are able to watch the horror from the comfort of the White House knowing full well those Americans are going to die. What was going through your mind? You weren't raising a finger to help them. What did you think was going to happen to them, those Americans working for the United States in a war zone? Those Americans who you knew had the hope of being rescued until seconds before their death. Really Mr. Panetta. Tell us.

Pardon me if I miss sarcasm in #13's post, but otherwise it's a postion that:

General George McClellan would have admired

President Lincoln would not have tolerated

What is unclear about 'we are being attacked'?
Does it really matter who is doing the attacking? The call to send in security should have been made the instant it became apparent that something was going on. Waiting until you have all the facts while your people are in danger before doing anything is criminal. I don't suggest that they needed to mobilize a division, or send in bombers, but we had troops relatively close. How hard would it have been to send in a squad or two just to check on the safety of our ambassador?

People... find and read the email dated September 11, 2012 at 45 pm.

If you didn't understand from that email that the men were in serious danger of death... for example.."20 armed men".. you are too dumb to breathe.

With leaders like Obama, Hillary and Panetta we are lucky to survive.

Fire them all. Vote Romney.

# 17 ... meant 5 minutes after 4. When I click to submit.. this site changes times.

Drop in a couple C-17 loads of Airborne Rangers and 'what is going on' is any damn thing you want to go on and nothing that you don't.

It's like having a military.

Obama has lied about Benghazi for 5 weeks and now as the truth trickles out, Obama has his cabinet stepping in front of him to take the heat.

Panetta is a political hack, but I thought he was smarter than this.

Our Ambassador had his security team taken away, and then State, the Pentagon and 'intelligence', whatever that means, watched as he was killed.
Obama hurried off to his fund-raiser or whatever and then started lying the next day.
This is appalling on many levels.

Panetta, you'll soon be out on your bum.

Panetta is everything corrupt and wrong in Washington. It was disgusting to watch Condi Rice on with Greta joining the other hacks sticking up for the "process!"

Mr Panetta and friends must think the drones are showing reruns of Viet Nam instead of real time massacres.

I have done it again, and hereby make amends again.

#13 was intended as biting, in fact bitter sarcasm.

It is the height of irresponsible and mendacious folly for Panetta to claim that an ongoing assault on a U.S. embassy was too confusing or dangerous for the deployment of a trained rapid reaction force. Everything available to the public strongly suggests there was incompetence or negligence of near criminal magnitude behind the decision not to intervene to protect the ambassador and his staff. What we know at present gives reason to believe their lives could have been saved by a swift reaction using readily available resources. The burden is on Panetta and others in the administration to explain the fatal delay. It is sheer nonsense to claim that not enough was known or that it was too dangerous to react. Everyone suspects, probably correctly, that political considerations intervened to prevent the military rescue operation that could and should have been launched and which, on the basis of available information, stood at least some chance of saving the lives of the Americans who were subsequently murdered.

Dittos #25 I got your sarcasm on the first post. Secretary Pinata sat on his thumbs while real Americans died. It rises to the level of treason.

Dear American Diplomats, State Dept, security, and support personnel stationed anywhere in the world;

Listen UP! JUST BECAUSE you come under mortar fire, become sudden victims of terrorism of any kind or whatever, neither Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, or Leon Panetta will lift a finger (nevermind scramble a jet--silly you!)to save your rear. Period. It just isn't beneficial to the cause (of Barack Obama).

Thanks for "Taking One For The Team" and have a nice day.

Love,
Hillary

#25, i, too, had to re-read your Post #13, re-checked your "user name" to see if really was you. Second reading made more sense.

The thing is, prior to these murderous attacks on 9/11, there had been numerous attacks on Westerners, and Amb. Stevens et al had been expressing concern and, indeed, fear. Requests for beefed-up security went ignored, as a matter of fact, outright denied.

This is the obscenity of the whole thing. And why all of the other questions are so vitally important and MUST NOT go unanswered.

So we need to call both our Senators, our Congressman (and more, if poss). Call or write local papers andmajor ones. Because they think people don't really care...

Another disgusting fact: because establishment media do not report fully, they've dropped the story, your average uninformed fellow citizen (citizen??) remains in blissful ignorance... stupids.

This was vile and shameless cowardice. The administration is still trying to cover their guilty butts. I detect they are planning to pin their dilatory response on the military, which is one of their favorite fallback positions. I know our military was itching to dive in and help these poor men and they weren't allowed to do it.Going in harm's way is their business. They are always willing to try and save Americans in peril. I'm sick to my stomach with these petty tyrants.

Panetta, if there is a next time, stand closer to the sound system and the POP POP you hear are not firecrackers. Will that help you decide our men are under attack?

You were watching the men die and you did nothing!

It is very clear to me what kind of people you and obama and clinton are.

Obama made a political calculation before he went to bed and then to Nevada. A rescue attempt would mean that they would have had to admit it was a terrorist attack and raise questions of why they were not more prepared. Also, there was a possibility that the rescue would go wrong and Obama would be prepared to Jimmy Carter. So they decide to put out the video story for cover. It stinks that Obama is more concerned with his re election then the lives of American workers in a dangerous land. I am really mad.

Panetta, you were watching an attack on the drone tv. What was unclear? Where does Panetta get "slowed response"? There hasn't been any response.

Yep that's what happens when you FAIL at protecting US Citizens. Having the Military hours away when seconds count. I'm sure the families of the dead appreciate your attempted coverup. You should all be hung from the nearest tree for this TREASON!

I actually felt quite sorry for Panetta. He was hesitant and shakey. I'm sure he got his orders from Valerie too.

Treason.

We can assume that, under the Obama/Clinton/Panetta administration, this is the model for non-response if another consulate or embassy is attacked by terrorists.

Now suppose the Egyptian embassy in Washington or the consulate in New York was attacked by terrorists. Do you really think US authorities would wait seven hours and then do nothing?

The Democrats think they are so much smarter than everyone else. But even a common man can see that these leaders need to be led out of Washington, never to return. Obama and Panetta are the most despicable human beings on this earth today.
