Ok. Lets turn to Benghazi and I want to ask you about one lingering question which is the Presidents actions on 9/11 on the night of the attack cause we don’t know very much about that we do know in the afternoon he had an already scheduled meeting with Defense Secretary Panetta as well as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Martin Dempsey when he heard about this, when they were in meeting on an unrelated subject. He said that he wanted them to deploy forces as soon as possible, the next time he shows up as the Hillary Clinton’s says she spoke to him around 10 o’clock that night after the attack at the Consulate. As it turned out at the Annex. But the attack at the Consulate was had ended. Question, what did the president do the rest of that night to pursue Benghazi?

Look, the president was kept up to date on this as it was happening throughout the entire night — from the moment it started until the very end. And this is a critically – is a horrible tragedy. These are people he sent abroad whose lives are at risk, people who work for him. And I recognize there is a series of conspiracy theories that Republicans have been spinning about this since the night it happened. There has been an independent review of this, Congress had held hearings, we’ve provided 250,000 pages of documents up there, there’s been 11 hearings, 20 staff briefings and everyone has found the same thing, this is a tragedy and so the question here is not what happened that night, the question is what are we gonna do to move forward to ensure that this doesn’t happen again? That’s why Congress should act with the President called for earlier this week to – to pass legislation along – while it’s actually implement all the recommendations of the independent ( ) so we can protect our diplomats around the country, around the world. Because when we send our diplomats off into far flunked places there is an inherit level of risk. We should do what we can to mitigate that risk.
[Chris Wallace]
With due respect, you didn’t answer my question. What did the President do that night?
[Daniel Pfeiffer]
He was kept — he was in constant touch that night with his national security team and kept up-to-date as events were happening.
[Chris Wallace]
You say the national security team, but he didn’t talk to the Secretary of State, except for the one time when the first attack was over. He didn’t’ talk to the Secretary of Defense. He didn’t talk to the Chairman of the Joints Chiefs. Who was he talking to?
[Daniel Pfeiffer]
He was talking to his national security staff, his National Security Council, the people who keep him up-to-date about these things as they happen.
[Chris Wallace]
Was he in the Situation Room?
[Daniel Pfeiffer]
He was kept up-to-date throughout the day.

Do you not know if he was in the Situation Room?
[Daniel Pfeiffer]
I don’t know. I don’t remember what room the president was in on that night. That’s a largely irrelevant fact. Well the point is; the question is, the premise to your question is that somehow, that there was something that could of been done differently, okay, that would of changed the outcome here. The accountability review board has looked at; people have looked at it, it’s a horrible tragedy what happened and we have to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
[Chris Wallace]
Here’s the point though, the Ambassador goes missing [J Christopher Stevens] the first ambassador in more than 30 years is killed. Four Americans, including the ambassador, are killed. Dozens of Americans are in jeopardy. The president at 4:00 in the afternoon says to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs to deploy forces. No forces are deployed. Where is he while all this is going on?
[Daniel Pfeiffer]
This has been tested to by —
[Chris Wallace]
Well, no. no one knows where he is, who was involved, the —
[Daniel Pfeiffer]
The suggestion of your question that somehow the president — allowed this to happen.
[Chris Wallace] Source: LYBIO.net
I just want to know the answer.
[Daniel Pfeiffer]
The assertions from republicans that the president didn’t take action is offensive. There’s no evidence to support it.
[Chris Wallace]
I’m simply asking a question. Where was he? What did he do? How did he respond in who told him you can’t deploy forces and what was his president?
[Daniel Pfeiffer]
The president was in the white house that day, kept up to date by his national security team, spoke to the joint chiefs of staff earlier, secretary of state, and as events unfolded he was kept up to date.
