Petraeus Throws Obama Under the Bus

Weekly Standard

Breaking news on Benghazi: the CIA spokesman, presumably at the direction of CIA director David Petraeus, has put out this statement:

“No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ”

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.

It would have been a presidential decision. There was presumably a rationale for such a decision. What was it? When and why—and based on whose counsel obtained in what meetings or conversations—did President Obama decide against sending in military assets to help the Americans in need?

    It’s time for a flood of phone calls, letters and emails to all of our represenatives. Impeachment must be a household conversation in every home in America before the election takes place.

    Obama didn’t just sit passively by and let this attack happen without sending help. No. The orders came to “stand down”. He actually took action to make sure no help would be sent. This is a High Crime and should be prosecuted to the fullest.

    Yep, Zero couldn’t get his ba!!s out of Jarrett’s purse long enough to make another “gutsy call”.

    Carney’s just not going to be able to lie fast enough to keep this one from coming apart…

    Why?

    Because Obama will always side with the Islamic Savage against the Civilized Man.

    This begs the question, who decided to put an Ambassador and staff in Libya in the first and then to pull security assets?

    Hillary and Obama top my list.

    I’ve got a theory..

    Obama wanted Stevens dead. This was a set up. Stevens had something on Obama. How else could you explain this? Maybe they were bathhouse buddies.

    A Larry Sinclair type loose end? It wouldn’t surprise me.
    “I’m still scared to discuss any of this,” Carolyn said.

    “At Trinity, if you even hint at talking about Obama being gay, you are reminded of our dear departed choir director,” she said. “He was killed, and it wasn’t a robbery. The Christmas presents weren’t touched. The TV was not taken, nothing in the apartment was missing.”

    Carolyn’s reference was to Donald Young, the 47-year-old homosexual choirmaster at Trinity who died of multiple gunshot wounds in his Chicago apartment Dec. 24, 2007.

    “… a rationale for such a decision …”

    Somebody obviously wanted some other body dead – and not the three innocents.

    Anonymous, you win the conspiracy theory prize of the day.

    The $64 question is, though, WHY? It can’t be something as silly as homosexual liaisons.

    There must be some pretty damning stuff for BO to kill one of his own appointees – though Hillary wouldn’t bat an eye at murder.

    From “The Audacity of Hope.” By Barack Obama:
    “In the wake of 9/11,my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans,for example,have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly;they need specific assurance that their citizenship really means something,that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internment during World War 11, and that I will stand with them should the political winds in an ugly direction.” P.261
    The chickens are coming home to roost.

    Gen. Betrayus should be tried for treason right along side Obama. He knows that Obama is almost openly allied with our enemies.

    Obama has done everything short of standing up on a chair, lighting his hair on fire, and screaming at the top of his lungs ALLAH AKBAR!!!

    There are so many chronic screw-ups and slimu low-lifes in that scummy administration, all of whom lie to protect each other, that it would be nearly impossible to affix blame to one of them.

    But history enables us to reduce the size of the list to just four possible suspects; Obama, Clinton, Panetta and yes, Holder, also. All of whom played a part in it, I’m sure. Just as they did ith the death of that border patrol agent in Fast & Furious.
