Did Petraeus just throw Obama under the bus?

C.I.A. spokesman: "No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate.”

So, asks Bill Kristol,
"Who in the government did tell “anybody” not to help those in need? Someone decided not to send in military assets to help those Agency operators. Would the secretary of defense make such a decision on his own? No.
It would have been a presidential decision. There was presumably a rationale for such a decision. What was it? When and why—and based on whose counsel obtained in what meetings or conversations—did President Obama decide against sending in military assets to help the Americans in need?
