...this is better than any movie 0bamawood could come up with...

The president doesn't need the WH counsel for a hurricane meeting.

Drawing straws to see who gets to climb under the bus.

We can be sure the MSM will be in full Comedy Central mode, "When news breaks, we fix it."

But he does - the hurricane is obviously his fault. Of course he will try to blame it on Bush.

Is this the October Surprize?

So, do you release bad news on Friday night or wait until Monday when hurricane news might over shadow it?

OP, that's exactly what I thought. Obama hasn't had any special meetings for the other natural disasters that have hit since he's been president, and all of sudden he's having meetings? Mm hmm.

Looks like he is going to let the voting in the Northeast continue past the 6th until he wins. Its the hurricanes fault you know. He is doing for the children too

Drawing straws to see who goes down. At this point, they don't have any choice - someone has to take the hit publicly before the election. It won't be 0-bama.

A little off topic, but there was a reference in this artilcle's posters about therightscoop.com about Hillary and Benghazi.......I went there and was astounded to a see a picture of Hilary with a new hairdo and professional make-up trying desperate attempt to look like Ann Romney! These people are all just plain nuts.

I do believe that it is the parents of the fallen talking directly to the American people that is so powerful. Something this administration cannot deride, mock, deny, etc. Nothing as powerful as a parent talking about a wrongful (and in this case violent) death of their child, especially when the finger points directly at the commander in chief (no caps awarded) as ultimately responsible.

Sounds like the 0bama WH gang is circling the wagons, but the truth seems to be coming out anyway. They know the spotlight is on their pathetic, tragic choices & policies. The American voters are watching and even a, 'perfect storm,' can't cover for 0bama now!

Petraus has been extremely quiet. He must be the scapegoat since he heads the CIA and the chain of command was to go thru him.

#11, maybe the Obama operatives are afraid that Hillary may just blow the lid off this debacle. Bill probably told her to and then hope she can clean herself up in the coming years. But the taint of this will always be on her.

I had certainly thought better of Petraeus. He needs to be out there in the lead on this or issue a stinging resignation. He, at this minute in time, has lost his good reputation if he doesn't.

This is why they've been pushing so hard for early voting. They knew really bad news was coming and wanted their votes locked in.

#17 That's very likely it. I hadn't thought of that.

So, who gets picked to fall on their sword? My bet it is some obscure assistant director at the CIA. This will allow the WH to maintain the pretense that it was an "intelligence failure". Which, strictly speaking, is probably an accurate description, although not in the context that they will be pushing on the American people.

That, #17, and early voting facilitates fraud by voting again elsewhere. I can't remember such a huge emphasis on early voting as this year, from the Dems primarily, and history would indicate there's more than civic duty behind it.

As a parent, if my government did nothing to help my child in a combat situation..There wouldn't be enough air time in the world for me.

I would be at every radio, tv, and blogsite asking the questions:

Why didn't you send help?
Why did you lie about a video/flash mob?

Who made the decision for no support?

Why are all the WH officials, Pentagon officials saying there wasn't enough info?

Was my child's call and drones playing real time video not enough for an assessment?

Was a Security Team Meeting called? Did President Obama call in for a Present Vote?

I would not be silent, I would press for a full Congressional investigation...

Who is responsible for the death of my child?

We all should be clamoring "Who is responsible for the death of this country?"

FTA: "To have a potential scandal of this magnitude so close to an election is unprecedented." QUESTION: Nevermind "so close to an election" -- Have we ever had a scandal of this magnitude in the White House in our lifetime?

I believe Obama is preparing to resign effective tonight.

I find it unlikely that Petraeus would refuse assistance. This means he was over ruled, by the White House. They can try to blame it on Clapper, but no one will believe that Clapper did not inform Obama of what was going on. Either way, Obama was complicit in refusing send help. It is now clear that the word has gone out to all media to suppress this story. Will it be enough before the 6th?

Where DOES the buck stop, Obama?

Significant activity from Kathryn Ruemmler's (White House Counsel to Obama) office?

Nothing new here. Every Tuesday they gather in the Oval to put together script and storyboard for this Sunday's episode of "Homeland". The mysterious part is why they have waited until Friday. Something big may be up. I'm thinking it's over for Brody.

They really need to get on the same page of the same edition of "The Liar's Guide to the Universe."

I wonder if BJ Clinton is invited?

Who IS this Caped Crusader, Ulsterman? Whoever he or she is, my thanks!!!!

Assuming all this intrigue is in the ball park, then the reason there's a WH panic is because the obama cabal has NO control over events about to unfold.

Keep your defenses ready folks. No telling what a cornered, rabid demoRAT will unleash. It vertainly won't be the truth.

What terrifies me is what this monster and his crooked cronies who all despise America, its military, and everything the rest of us consider to be the best of America. I can only wonder what they might decide to do like launch a few drones, bomb something or someone...anything that would make pencil neck look like he is at least on the fringe of something resembling leadership.

Not to quibble #14, but Petraeus is not in the chain of command. The national command authority is the POTUS and SecDef (with advice from the CJCS) down to the Combatant (Theater) Commanders.

Patrick Kennedy and Charlene Lamb are careerists in civil service, with the state department. Mr hussein obama could offer each of them an opportunity to retire, and bill clinton could offer each of them a position with the clinton global foundation, which is flush with cash.
Don't forget that Bill Clinton parked his half brother, roger clinton, in hollywood, with an obscure job with those arkansas people who did a tv series about 3 women - designing women.
It is time for a retirement party. And Charlene Lamb, under oath, said that she made a good decision on security.

wish petreaus was ulsters inside man

and joe biden sees a path to the presidency!

What're you trying to do, #23, ruin election day for me? If Obama bails out now we'll never know how high up between his chimply ears he got his butt kicked.

A suggestion like yours could get picked up by White House boobs and sent up the chain for consideration. Try to be more careful, willya'?

Time frame: 9-11-2012
Attack on consulate around 4pm Eastern
Obama returns to WH 4:50
Obama meets privately with VP and DOD head 50.
Obama sure in heck DID know in real time..he just didn't know what to do.

I pray this is what's coming: One of our American hero's who got the calls for help from a ship somewhere...has sent the recordings to Mr. Woods... and he's coming on Fox News to play it.... and it has high command saying The WH Ordered you to Stand Down...

Relative to post #11 = I think Hillary wears a Burka when alone... full muslim convert... straight flat uncut hair & hardly any makeup. If she's suddenly getting made over to look American again, she's distancing herself from the fallout.
