The White House on Saturday flatly denied that President Barack Obama withheld requests for help from the besieged American compound in Benghazi, Libya, as it came under on attack by suspected terrorists on September 11th.
"Neither the president nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi," National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told Yahoo News by email.
Fox News Channel reported Friday that American officials in the compound repeatedly asked for military help during the assault butwere rebuffed by CIA higher-ups. At a press briefing one day earlier, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, asked why there had not been a quicker, more forceful response to the assault, complained of "Monday-morning quarterbacking." Panetta said he and top military commanders had judged it too dangerous to send troops to the eastern Libyan city without a clearer picture of events on the ground.
Now that the FACTS are known, we are getting the usual political spin..
ReplyDeleteThey've been denying what really happened for a full month after! Now we should believe them?! After the documentation is out?!
ReplyDeleteDUH, OKAY!
The sad fact is the majority of Obama voters are not aware of an attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
ReplyDeleteImagine that! Obama's blaming someone else!
ReplyDeleteThe sad fact is the majority of Obama voters have never even heard of Libya nor have any idea what a consulate even is.
ReplyDeleteSo all those people speaking before the congressional committee investigation in the past two weeks are lying?
ReplyDeleteObama supporter's only worry, is that the plane carrying their entitlement checks don't go down.
potus, or someone working for him said "No". He is in a position to know now and shortly afterward who that was. All cover-up & spin now.
ReplyDeleteLies, upon lies; Same Old ....!
The only "liars" are all you clowns who have claimed to know so much about what happened even BEFORE any congressional testimony or real reports came out. Try this. Sit back and let the adults handle the situation.
ReplyDelete....and all of us "clowns" have been 100% right so far haven't we 12:35? Weren't we telling you all along the video excuse was BS?
ReplyDeleteThe liars are the Obama admin esp Obama himself who is a serial liar and you know it and if you don't you need to wise up or stop lying to yourself.
12:35, did you miss the live testimony? I didn't. And what I did miss I watched on YouTube.
ReplyDeleteEducate yourself before speaking to us adults in the room!
If you look back on obama's presidency he has literally screwed up everything he has touched thus far-EVERYTHING. Who in their right mind would ever think to give him a second chance except the welfare crowd?
ReplyDeleteThank you 12:54
ReplyDelete12:35 is an idiot if they didn't know they can watch congressional hearings in real time just like watching a city council meeting on PAC-14, it's truly a sin that idiots like that can actually vote!
Sit back and let the adults handle the situation. ???
ReplyDeletelol 12:35 just sit back and hope your entitlement check isn't late due to hurricane Sandy!
12:35 It's impressive that you can have your foot in your mouth while having your head up your butt, all at the same time! What a doofus!
OMG 12:35 and you don't think Obama lies? What rock are you living under? Not only did he lie about a video causing a "spontaneous attack" in Benghazi he lies about just about everything else. He's been lying about Planned Parenthood and how they do mammograms so as not to tick off the anti abortion crowd. Everyone (except probably you) knows that PP doesn't even do mammomgrams and never has but the serial liar keeps repeating this.
ReplyDeleteHe lied about Romney saying he wouldn't have bailed out the auto industry when while it was going on in 2008 Romney himself wrote an op-ed in the NY Times saying the gov't should. You are the consummate obama supporter-pathetically clueless, ill informed and instead of offering proof (that's you can't) you name call and attack. You are just as "classy" as the ghetto trash obama and biden.
I have no idea what kind of mothers you all must have had to support such crudeness and vulgarity after the VP of the US tells a father of murdered SEAL that he had "balls." Decent people don't act like this.
How that protest and video story working out for you now 12:35? It's so amusing how you blindly follow Obama and hang on to his every word.
ReplyDeleteobama's mouth is moving; he is lying. just look at his past behavior. you can lock from a thief, but you can't lock from a liar.
ReplyDeleteThe sheep are getting restless when their kool aid is running out.
