~~According to Panetta, the President trusted that the Sec. of Defense and Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCOS) Chairman General Martin Dempsey were aware of what military assets were and weren´t near Benghazi, so he left it "up to us."~~

Of course.....always, leave it up to someone else....how typical.

Zero leading from the rear, as usual. Only this time it was the horse´s rear. I´d use stronger words, but don´t want to be banned.

Glad this testimony came out before the election.

Oh wait....

Uh... #1 ... Obama left it up to Panetta?

Obama is the commander in chief............of sleeping.

Being AWOL use to mean time in the brig and a court-marital board. Is The Bamster exempted?

Obama went to LAS VEGAS, remember?
He was campaigning.

BHO, CINC, told Panetta to do whatever was needed that´s enough for Panetta and Dempsey to order support. So who stopped them? Val Jar? This smells like a campaign decision and BHO was out of the loop. I is not my intention to defend him but when the CINC tells SecDef to do whatever is needed that´s a green light for some pretty serious action. Who stopped them? It wasn´t BHO.

correction: Obama went to bed, and went to Las Vegas the following day.

Anyone surprised that Obama would need his teleprompter in order to make a decision?

More of our Dear Reader´s leading from his behind - or whatever.

I guess the Bamster is trying out different excuse lines. First anything bad was W´s fault, but that started getting kinda old after 4 years.

Obama´s new excuse line is clearly SecDef and JCOS ate his homework...

A commander absent under such circumstances would be relieved of duty and face a courts martial, at a minimum. In time of war, some were taken out and shot if convicted - or at least they used to be.

Duty, Honor, responsibility - Oh, that´s right, we´re talking libtards here, which is to say scum of the earth.

President Blase` is the most unaccountable man on Planet Earth. He literally doesn`t have to answer to anyone. He could even authorize a drone attack against hos wife if she nagged him too much and nobody would do anything about it.

Nothing to lose when you´re a short timer. Would have been good to know earlier, though.

4 more years of this incompetent fool.

can/will we survive? and how bad of shape will be in in 2016?

If you remember, he went to Vegas AFTER the attack was over. I bet he was in the situation room and did not have the stomach to order a strick on the terrorists. He is still worried that this will get out.

The 3 a.m. phone call went to voicemail. Epic fail.

This hits me as an impeachable offense. One can´t be president or cabinet secretary and ignore your duty, can you?

And do not forget that hillary did not speak to panetta and dempsey during the attacks.
And once again the republicans failed to as a follow up question - ´who in the administration did you speak with?´
That might have flushed out val jarrett, who probably was the one who told them to stand down.

Impeachable or not, the Democrat Senate will never convict, no matter what the crime. So, it would only be bad for the GOP to impeach him, no matter what the crime.

This man just not want to work. Is that racist? Too bad.

Remember the good old days when the King would actually lead his forces into battle?

Now you can´t even get him on the phone!

Obama set a new record for dereliction of duty on this one. He cannot even claim to have voted "present" this time.

If I take the antics and actions of this administration in the last 4+ years, and project forward 4 years, I´m afraid to say that we´ll look at present time as "the good old days"

Dispatch Carney Barker post haste. He´ll spin things aright!

Shortly after the attack the state depart said they watch in realtime. Sooo do you think the won was asleep & Jarrett made the non call.

Maybe he was out practicing his skeet shooting.

The Republican members of the House and Senate are criminals just like the Democrats.

Rove and the rest have turned on you.

Here Here the Constitutional Party!

That 3 AM phone call came and sure enough nobody answered. Not the least bit surprising.
