Unfit for office [Reader Post]

The 3 am call came and Obama didn't answer.

Virtually nothing this administration has said about the attacks in Benghazi is true.

They lied about what happened, they lied about who was responsible, they lied about the cause.

They watched them die.

On Fox News this morning, Rep. Louie Gohmert said that an attack on a US Ambassador is the equivalent of an attack on a four star general. It's something that a President knows about. And there is really no doubt Obama knew what was going on.

When the consulate came under attack there were at least three requests for help.

Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that three urgent requests from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. Consulate and subsequent attack nearly seven hours later were denied by officials in the CIA chain of command — who also told the CIA operators to “stand down” rather than help the ambassador’s team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11.

It is simply mindboggling to think that an administration would give orders not to defend an Ambassador and the Americans around him.

Who gave these orders? The Fox report suggests it was the CIA “chain of command.” But word comes from David Petraeus, the head of the CIA, that those orders did not come from the CIA.

Breaking news on Benghazi: the CIA spokesman, presumably at the direction of CIA director David Petraeus, has put out this statement: “No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ”

Then Kristol suggests those orders had to come directly from Barack Obama.

So who in the government did tell “anybody” not to help those in need? Someone decided not to send in military assets to help those Agency operators. Would the secretary of defense make such a decision on his own? No.

It would have been a presidential decision. There was presumably a rationale for such a decision. What was it? When and why—and based on whose counsel obtained in what meetings or conversations—did President Obama decide against sending in military assets to help the Americans in need?

Obama was asked directly about this and he refused to answer the question:

In an interview with a Denver TV reporter Friday, President Obama twice refused to answer questions as to whether the Americans under siege in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012, were denied requests for help, saying he’s waiting for the results of investigations before making any conclusions about what went wrong.

After being asked about possible denials of requests for aid, and whether it’s fair to tell Americans that what happened is under investigation and won’t be released until after the election, the president said, “the election has nothing to do with four brave Americans getting killed and us wanting to find out exactly what happened. These are folks who served under me who I had sent to some very dangerous places. Nobody wants to find out more what happened tha

n I do.”

President Obama told KUSA-TV’s Kyle Clarke large that “we want to make sure we get it right, particularly because I have made a commitment to the families impacted as well as to the American people, we’re going to bring those folks to justice. So, we’re going to gather all the facts, find out exactly what happened, and make sure that it doesn’t happen again but we’re also going to make sure that we bring to justice those who carried out these attacks.”

Clark pressed again.

“Were they denied requests for help during the attack?” he asked.

“Well, we are finding out exactly what happened,” the president again said. “I can tell you, as I’ve said over the last couple of months since this happened, the minute I found out what was happening, I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to. Number two, we’re going to investigate exactly what happened so that it doesn’t happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice. And I guarantee you that everyone in the state department, our military, the CIA, you name it, had number one priority making sure that people were safe. These were our folks and we’re going to find out exactly what happened, but what we’re also going to do it make sure that we are identifying those who carried out these terrible attacks.”

The President seems to be the only person on Earth who doesn't know what happened in Benghazi.

There seems little doubt that the stand down order came from the White House. The question is why?

I suspect that what we're going to hear is that Obama did not want to violate the sovereignty of Libya.

That would prove to be indefensible. Obama would be seen as having no objection to violating Pakistan's sovereignty to get Bin Laden but unwilling to violate Libya's sovereignty to save a US Ambassador.

The story continues to get worse. A former Delta operator made this remark at Blackfive:

Having spent a good bit of time nursing a GLD (ground Laser Designator) in several garden spots around the world, something from the report jumped out at me.

One of the former SEALs was actively painting the target. That means that Specter WAS ON STATION! Probably an AC130U. A ground laser designator is not a briefing pointer laser. You do not “paint” a target until the weapons system/designator is synched; which means that the AC130 was on station.

Only two places could have called off the attack at that point; the WH situation command (based on POTUS direction) or AFRICOM commander based on information directly from the target area.

If the AC130 never left Sigonella (as Penetta says) that means that the Predator that was filming the whole thing was armed.

If that SEAL was actively “painting” a target; something was on station to engage! And the decision to stand down goes directly to POTUS!

From what we know to this point, it appears that Obama did not just watch them die, he let them die.

A father of a slain SEAL wants answers. He wants to know who made the decision not to try to save his son.

Charles Woods, the father of Tyrone Woods, who was killed in the 9/11 terrorist attack at the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, reveals details of meeting Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton at the publically broadcast memorial service for the slain Americans at Andrews Air Force Base only days after the attack. And, in a recent radio appearance, Woods publicly questions who made the call not to send in back-up forces to possibly save his son’s life, as well as the three other Americans killed in Benghazi (which includes the American ambassador to Libya).

Over at Fireandreamitchell a great point is made. When Obama needed the SEALs they were there for him, When the SEALs needed Obama he let them die.

Barack Obama is not fit for the office he occupies.

Smorgasbord
yes this word and also the word terrorist is tabou for this man,
it seems to scare him, that is probably why he distance himself
from the fact that he denied the help to the AMBASSADOR ,
it seems he was afraid the terrorists would get mad at HIM,
they did get mad anyway, because he killed one of their boss by drone just a bit before the attack on BENGHASI
which he refuse to give them security when they ask many times, causing their brutal death, because of his failure to protect those braves,
when you reach that fear feeling as PRESIDENT OF THIS AMERICA
it mean that HE IS done with the position, to protect the people
because HE can bring great dangers to the citizens of the THE USA, for not being able to give protection to AMERICANS
by seeing HIS weakness the ALQUAEDA will feel free to attack in AMERICA
knowing they will get away with murder
because of him
BYE

It wouldn’t surprise me if Obama is connected with the terrorists. It seems that all of his associates are top union members, socialists, or Muslims.

@Smorgasbord: Certainly not. Hotel room not included either. but what the heck.

@Redteam: #154
I’ll pass on the offer.

how the fools rushed in,
I cannot believe the other half still voting for OBAMA,
after all he did so wrong in theses 4 years on the job.
it’s bothering to have so many blind brains in AMERICA
who did not wake up to the intent of OBAMA we saw all over the place
showing his falsehood, and on the LIBYA coverup where four braves died because of him,
the people where fooled once and are again ready to be fool twice, there is no excuse for ignorance
for GOD SAKE, all is OBAMA DOING is talk, talk talk,
nothing else,
well MITT ROMNEY WILL WIN, NO MATTER WHAT
