If Obama didn't know... A whole host of people need to be fired if not in jail. If Obama knew and didn't care, well that's another matter entirely. It's hard to believe a President could hear that a man he asked to serve as an Ambassador was under attack, ordered no support to be given and went to bed and attended a fund raiser the next day. Defies logic. But within 30 minutes of the panic button being pressed the advisor standing next to the President would have known. I'm inclined to believe he knew. These documents were just the non-classified redacted emails, there would have been (at least) two other layers of communication with one being IM's (military IM's are not like Yahoo messenger, receipt is acknowledged and logged) going through AFRICOM (4 star general and regional commander). Trigger authority would have gone to him if POTUS, VP etc down through the chain were unavailable.Originally Posted by .blank cd
They were told to stand down.
Sad part is, that even if these SEAL's had survived they would have been court-marshaled anyway.
