Remember back early in the 2008 campaign the question that was asked in a Hillary campaign ad, "It's 3 a.m, and your children are safe and asleep," and the narrator continues, "Who do you want answering the phone? Well apparently the attack carried out on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya last year on September 11, would seem to prove beyond the shadow of any doubt, that neither Hillary or Barry can be entrusted to take such a call. Because when that call did come, neither one of these incompetent boobs was anywhere to be found to take it. At least that's what seems to be the case according to testimony that was provided by Leon Panetta. Mr. Panetta, arguably the worst secretary of defense to come along since Harold Brown, stated that our less than stellar Commander-in-Chief, Barack Hussein Obama, was absent the night four Americans, including our ambassador, were murdered in Benghazi. Panetta also said that though he did meet with Barry at a 5 o'clock prescheduled gathering, Barry left operational details, including knowledge of what resources were available to help the Americans under siege, "up to us." Boy, now is that an open ended statement, or what?
I mean what the Hell kind of way is that to run a railroad? In fact, Panetta says that the night of 9/11, he did not communicate with a single person at the White House. Huh? Remember now, this attack resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Barry did not call or communicate in anyway with the defense secretary that entire night. There were no calls about what was going on in Benghazi. He never called to check-in. The 5 o'clock meeting was a pre-scheduled 30-minute session, where, at least according to Panetta's best recollection, and we know how reliable that is, they spent about 20 minutes talking a lot about the American embassy that was surrounded in Egypt and the situation that was just then unfolding in Benghazi. So how then is it that the Defense Department gets to unilaterally decide whether it's too risky or not to try to rescue CIA operators, or to violate another country's air space? Either way, Panetta didn't seem to think it was important enough to raise the question of what to do when he met with the national security adviser and the president at 5 p.m., nor to then stay in touch with the White House after he returned to the Pentagon.
But, strangely enough, Barry was able to, that same night, afford himself enough time to make a political call to the Israeli Prime Minister. The purpose of this very important call to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was to defuse a controversy about his refusal to meet with Netanyahu two weeks later at the U.N. General Assembly, and in so doing, at least according to the White House announcement that evening, he spent an hour on the phone with him. So, while Americans were under assault in Benghazi, Barry found the time for a non-urgent, politically motivated, hour-long call to Prime Minister Netanyahu. And his senior national security staff had to find time to arrange the call, brief Barry for the call, monitor the call, and then provide an immediate read-out to the media. Call me silly, but I suspect Prime Minister Netanyahu, of all people, would have understood the need to postpone or shorten the phone call if he had been told that Americans were under attack while he and Barry chatted. But for Barry, a politically useful telephone call—and the ability to have his aides rush out and tell the media about that phone call—came first. What a guy! What a leader! What a disaster!!
Also, neither did the Secretary of Defense nor the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff speak to our eminently unqualified Secretary of State at the time, Hitlery Clinton, at anytime during the entire 8-hour attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. At the recent hearing in the Senate, Republican Ted Cruz asked both Panetta and Martin Dempsey, "In between 9:42 p.m., Benghazi time, when the first attacks started, and 5:15 am, when Mr. Doherty and Mr. Woods lost their lives, what conversations did either of you have with Secretary Clinton?" Old bonehead Panetta responded, "We did not have any conversations with Secretary Clinton." Sen. Cruz than asked, "And General Dempsey, the same is true for you?" To which Dempsey responded that it was. So what is it, exactly, that we have being revealed here? Is it another example of what has become Barry’s typical 'Keystone Cops' approach to foreign policy? Or might it be something more sinister? Like maybe an attempt to lay the ground work which will latter provide to both Barry and Clinton some level of plausible deniability regarding the death of four Americans including an ambassador? You decide.
