How come Leon Panetta has to lie to cover up that Obama did nothing about the deaths of those in Benghazi?

[The Black Bolshevik]

Ayotte: Did he ever call you that night to say, "How are things going? What's going on?"

Panetta: No, but we were aware that as we were getting information on what was taking place there, particularly when we got information that the ambassador -- his life had been lost, we were aware that that information went to the White House.

Ayotte: Did you communicate with anyone else at the White House that night?

Panetta: No.

Ayotte: No one else called you to say, "How are things going?"

Panetta: No.

Through it all, Obama's White House simply did not respond or engage. Given the auspiciousness of the date and the seriousness of the attack, we must now ask, with the utmost gravity, "Why not?"

Remember that we are not talking about the president's weak response after the fact; the issue is what he was (or was not) doing in real time, as the event unfolded. An attack was ongoing. Distress calls were coming in. At that point, presumably, neither Obama nor anyone else in the U.S. government could have known for certain that this attack was an isolated case. It might, after all, have been one stage in a possible series of attacks. And while it was ongoing, there was, presumably, no way of knowing how the situation would develop, how large the attack force was, whether the Libyan government was complicit in the assault, or how many Americans might be in jeopardy.

And yet in spite of all this uncertainty, mayhem, and danger, Obama remained disengaged, neither responding to nor initiating any communication with his national security apparatus.

So Greasy you could care less about their deaths

[RUKiddingtoo]

Because Obama did nothing while they were under attack?

[Greasy Tony]

You can't find Hillary at fault, so now it's Obama's fault? Blah ha ha ha!

[Shovel Ready]

This reminds me of D-day when nobody in the German military was willing to wake up Hitler to tell him what happened and get orders to do anything about it.

[Insanedeer458]

Especially now that we find out that
we have this secret drone camp in nearby Saudi Arabia!

Leon Panetta also took the side of Hillary Clinton over Obama
and said she was right, we should have armed the Syrian Rebels.

You wrote yourself. The info went to the WH. The president doesn't need to follow up like your mother would

[Gum control]

Not trying to defend him, but you do realise it was up to the intelligence agency to report any suspicious activity.
obama's not a superman, he's a president. GET A GRIP!

BB;
You are correct, of course, and I have yet to hear anyone ask if the mission was refused protection, because the pres wanted to continue his illusion about the defeat of al kaada(sp? who cares?), for his campaign statements.

Why do Republican's to this day refuse to investigate the six fatal attacks on U.S. embassies and consulates during the Bush administration in which 51 people were killed. Do they only care if people die when they can blame it on Democrats?
