Benghazi just looks worse and worse for Team Obama

Now President Obama says he gave a clear directive to protect secure personnel, but where is the paper trail?

Earlier today Barack Obama told Denver’s WUSA TV this in regard to the Benghazi 9-11 terror attack,

“I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to. Number two, we’re going to investigate exactly what happened to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice.”

Tonight however, Bing West, a former Assistant Secretary of Defense, told Greta Van Susteren,

“If that actually happened the way President Obama said it happened, there’s a paper trail and I think people reasonably enough can say, “Can we see the order?” because hundreds of others supposedly saw this order.

So, basically, he is trying to throw everyone under the bus here. One problem for me is this, if such an order was given, why did President not follow-up? Certainly we should expect that our Commander-in-Chief would be monitoring the events, getting constant updates. Obama’s latest story makes it sound like he just threw out a directive, to use his word, and threw up his hands. One more glaring problem here is that why wasn’t the president saying this weeks ago? Why does his version of events keep evolving? Sadly, I think we know why.
