And I don't see him falling on his sword for the likes of Barack Obama.



Exactly what I've been trying to say. His honor code is the West Point honor code. He stands or falls on that. To his credit, he did what honor required.


There's plenty to hang upon Obama. This isn't one of those things.


This is exactly one of those things. The attack went on for seven hours. CIA, State, Defense and AfriCom knew about it almost as soon as it started. They had live drone feeds in well under an hour. Panetta briefed Obama on it about an hour after if began. How could this not be negligence by Obama?

Petraeus made a public admission of infidelity to take blackmail off the table and immediately announced that he won't testify before Congress next week.

Just before the election, Hillary said that she was taking full responsibility for Benghazi. Now that the election is over, she has announced that she is leaving State and also will not testify before Congress because of a scheduling conflict. How does one take responsibility for that massive fuckup and then nonchalantly tell Congress to fuck itself?

Obama is circling the wagons and throwing everyone under the bus. Of course this all comes back on him. He knew that his inaction would result in the death of those four Americans and he just didn't give a fuck.
