Yesterday we reported that CIA operatives working in Benghazi, Libya were repeated told to “stand down” when they requested to aid those under attack at the consulate. The assumption was that these directives came from their superiors at the CIA.
Not so, according to a CIA spokesman. “No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate.” This statement is presumed to have been issued at the direction of CIA Director David Petraeus.
This was reported late Friday afternoon by The Weekly Standard, which then asked:
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.
The conclusion is inescapable — only the president could have made that decision. Obama’s reluctance to discuss Libya of late suddenly becomes clearer.
With the State Department throwing Obama under the bus, Obama throwing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton under the bus and now presumedly Petraeus throwing Obama under the bus, Washington is about to suffer a serious bus shortage.

This poser POTUS’ ear-wig must have been malfunctioning during the decision-making process … or … it was functioning perfectly and POTUS was doing exactly what his handlers had decided he should do. Decision-making is not his forte but leading from behind his puppet-masters has been the modus operandi for more than 6 years of public dis-service to our nation. This is the man who votes “present” when no one tells him what to do!
IT HAS TO EXACTLY AS IS ALWAYS IS…….LIES…….YOU CAN’T TELL ME THAT SOMETHING AS SERIOUS AS THE LIBYA ATTACK DOES NOT INCLUDE OBAMA’S INPUT…….THEY ASK FOR HELP AND “SOMEONE” DECIDES…..”THE HECK WITH YOU, WE ARE NOT HELPING”……..I WOULD BET, IF IT BE KNOWN, OBAMA HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THE DECISION ON THE STAND DOWN ORDER…..(IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIS SOLE DECISION)
OBAMA…..YOU GOT A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO.. we the people want answers. my husband has been in the US army for almost 18 years and it could have been him….how would i ever explain it to his boys that our government didn’t give a damned about our people under attack…. were you TOO BUSY PARTYING WITH J-ZE
Delta Force and other special ops on the ground in Libya had to be in constant radio or cell communication with command, an Ambassador is 4 star level. And the president himself would be notified if our Ambassador were in peril. Our people around the globe deserve better than this. And it makes me sick when Hillary and Obama say they are going to fix this, you can’t fix four dead, Mr and Mrs Ass.
Bill wantys Hillare to spill the beans…..will she?
Yes Hillary should spill it all and sink this imPOSTUSer straight to the bottom. She will take some licks too but she would be redeemed in many peoples eyes.
I will believe Petraeus before any of the other liers like Hillary or Obama. Petraeus is a man of integrity and he will not lie for these people specially about the Americans in the Embassy. I am glad he thru Obama under the bus about time some one stands against this criminal Obama.
I sure would like to believe that, but He sure got a cushy hob from Obama, which leads me to believe they had something on him that would ruin his career!
it might gain her some much needed respect. I do respect the fact that she is stepping down after just one term. Smart move, Hillary.
I hope she spills lotsa beans. It will be good for her and this country.
The more people he(Obama) throws under the bus, the more people who will spill the beans.
SPEECHLESS AND SAD. IS THIS THE AMERICA WE HAVE GROWN UP IN ???
PLEASE GOD GIVE US A TRUE AMERICAN FOR PRESIDENT. THANK YOU, AMEN.
I believe Hillary needs to come clean and take Obama down with her. This maybe the very thing necessary to bring this administration under investigation, only to find them guilty of perjury and treason. There is a whole lot of other crap they have pulled and are continuing to abuse their power and federal funds for their own good. All I hear and see is corruption, corruption, and more corruption. Obama is starting to sit on top of one of the highest peaks in Washington, D.C. because of all the stuff he keeps sweeping under the rug. Let’s face it, he has no intention of doing anything that will help our country, he is no Commander-in Chief that’s for sure. The Fast and the Furious still hasn’t been dealt with either. I am so glad the fathers and mothers of these military personnel who were killed in Benghazi are not keeping silent but speaking out on the subject so this administration cannot sweep this one under the rug.
I just want to know why nobody had the ‘gonads’ to disobey an order and go to their assistance. Being retired military, if I had been close enough to the action to render assistance when needed, my soldiers would have been there. This speaks volumes to me. There are a lot of heads that need to roll……….. from the top down.
Oba-nation knew that and he gave the orders because he did not want the people to know about the guns that is being smuggled of this country and just how dirty his lies and cover ups really just how bad they really are.
