Panetta: Obama absent the night Americans were murdered in Benghazi

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta testified before the U.S. Senate Thursday, saying President Obama did not communicate with him at all during the night of the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Panetta said Obama never called to see how events were unfolding, nor did he or anyone from the White House ever call after they had information that Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed, the Weekly Standard reported Thursday.

Obama had a “general” idea of what was happening and what assets were available to help our diplomats during the siege, Panetta said, but Obama left “specifics” up to Panetta and the Defense Department.

The president did have time, though, to make an unimportant and unrelated hour-long phone call to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Weekly Standard said.
