So it was Panetta then.

Is Obama going to call for his resignation?

Did Panetta consult with Obama before denying the request for help?

Why didn't Obama send out the drones as he so loves to do?

Who established that policy for Panetta?


Obama is the man behind the big desk and is ultimately responsible. That does not mean that he is the only one that must be held accountable.

Unless that account is coming from General Ham or someone who was there and they are on record as saying this, then it's just speculation and heresay. And it's being reported as a rumor.

I find it sort of suspect that a highly decorated General would disobey a direct order no matter what his personal feelings. You just don't see that type of behavior.

I dont wish to second guess decisions made but this is my biggest concern with military competency & how you protect an American embassy. The Marines for example are trained in small wars & skirmishes....small wars represent the normal & frequent operations of the Corps (& there is even a book written about it called the Small Wars Manual). A small war would be like treaty enforcement in Bosnia, anarchy in Somalia, tribal warfare in Rwanda.

I believe any US Embassy on foreign soil needs to be protected by bringing in light tanks as they are particularly valuable in assaulting towns & villages. Armored cars can also be employed to patrol streets but apparently this current administration prefers a quasi-diplomatic light duty style of protection like the UN peacekeeping nonsense (that is for the birds & people who have a death wish). Thats the screwup in my eyes....protect US Citizens with a military trained to address issues with combat not diplomatic BS.

From the Halls of Montezuma,
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean:
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.
