Sujet: Re: The cover up of Watergate was not the fault of the president nor anyone in his administration.
(V): "The historians say.... he did know!!"
And I'm sure that's what Bob Woodward was saying as well. So what is he saying now? He was given a call by one of Obamas minions and 'advised' to back off talking about the presidents involvement in the cover up. We already know that Obama will investigate members of the press who don't get with the program and say only nice things about him... if this isn't true, then why are we hearing reporters say "...Obama was unapologetic about investigating members of the press?
One notable difference between Benghazi and Watergate is that Obama was in the loop from the beginning. Another difference is no one was killed because of Watergate. Military operatives who could have intervened were told to stand down. Only the president has the authority to tell the military to stand down.... so who do you think might have told the military to stand down?
One higher up in the military who was trying to help Obama cover his butt said it would take about 20 hours to put any operation together to help rescue the ambassador. That's nonsense... maybe during WWII it could take that long, but not today. It takes about 15 minutes to get pilots into the air and they can be given instructions onroute. And those instructions can be modified as conditions on the ground change.
