A show of strength from Salafists on 9/11 to remind Americans who’s winning these days in the Middle East. The newsworthy part isn’t the protest — we already know what a mob can do to an embassy in Cairo — but the reaction from the embassy. When this tweet started circulating a few hours ago, I thought it might be a parody account. Afraid not. The official statement from the embassy website:
The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.
The money word there, of course, is “abuse.” If speech is illegitimate because it offends religious sensibilities, then we’re on the doorstep of yelling “blasphemy.” In practical effect, that’s what the embassy is pushing: There’s not a syllable wasted here on condemning the cretins who climbed the embassy walls and tore down the flag — on 9/11. The denunciation is reserved for the blasphemers, who in this case turn out to be Egyptian expats who made an amateur film about Mohammed that’s presumably being used by Islamist demagogues over there to whip up the crowd.
An armed mob protesting over a film they said offended Islam, attacked the US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi on Tuesday and set fire to the building, witnesses reported.
The attack happened on the same day as a similar group of hardliners waving black banners attacked the US embassy in Cairo and tore down the US flag, but it was not immediately clear if the two incidents were coordinated.
The protests came on the eleventh anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001, when US cities were targeted by hijacked planes.
"Demonstrators attacked the US consulate in Benghazi. They fired shots in the air before entering the building," Libya's deputy interior minister, Wanis al-Sharif Sharif, who is in charge of the country's eastern region, told AFP.
"Dozens of demonstrators attacked the consulate and set fire to it," said a Benghazi resident, who only gave his name as Omar, adding that he had seen the flames and heard shots in the vicinity.
Contacted by AFP, a US State Department official in Washington said US officials were still seeking information about the situation in Benghazi.
Asked whether the attack in Libya and the earlier demonstration against the US mission in Egypt could be connected, the official said it was unclear yet if the protests had been coordinated.
Another Libyan witness said armed men had closed the streets leading up to the consulate, among them ultra-conservative Salafists.
I’m outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi. It’s disgraceful that the Obama Administration’s first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.

The Obama administration is disavowing a statement from its own Cairo embassy that seemed to apologize for anti-Muslim activity in the United States.
"The statement by Embassy Cairo was not cleared by Washington and does not reflect the views of the United States government," an administration official told POLITICO.
..........as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions....
Reagan would have been slapping the Egyptian Amassador like a red-headed stepchild in the Oval Office ... AFTER ordering the Embassy Marines to knock those muslim monkeys off that wall .
I don't know if anyone has posted this already but Drudge has headlined that the Libya body count is up to three including the ambassador.
LINK (http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/09/12/us-libya-usa-attack-idUSBRE88B0EI20120912)
So...invade our territory, burn it, kill our people including the person who represents our president. I'm wondering what the SmartPower response will be.
According to what I have read:
1) We had no Marines on site. The two that were killed came from some other unspecified location.
2) The ambassador and at least one other person were moved from the consulate to some other building.
3) After they were moved the Libyan security forces told the mob where they were.
4) The ambassador was strangled to death and then his body was paraded around for pictures.
SmartPower!
Let me see...

The BO admin just threw their own embassy in Egypt under the bus.
And, of course, the embassy didn't come up with that stuff on their own. They were told what to say. By the admin. And now they are toast.

The assumption that Junior could be wakened at 3AM would not be a good one on your part. The boy was probably asleep, after a night partying with Pimp with the Limp Dick, and slept right through the phone call asking for a statement.
I was under the impression every US embassy has a contingent of Marines
to secure it. I read there were only two Marines at the Libyan embassy and
they were not assigned there.
You would think for sure all embassies in that part of the world would have extra security in place.
The SCoaMF will no doubt compound the issue by not doing and by saying stupid things...but this is the fruit of his Muslim Outreach Initiative and under the Obama Doctrine it is imperative to give Muzzies (no matter how batsh*t effing nvts they are) anything they desire and blame reactionaries (Israel, Pubbies, Tea Partiers, Rednecks...Racists all!) when the sh*t predictably blows up in his face.

State Department officer killed in attack on US Consulate in Libya, following Egyptian protest at US embassy
FOX News1 day ago
Sep 11, 2012 · State Department officer killed in attack on US Consulate in Libya, following Egyptian protest at US embassy
The U.S. embassy in Cairo issued apologetic statements on 9/11--both before and during attacks by a radical mob. Those statements, condemning the supposed abuse of free speech by Americans who had criticized Islam, were later disavowed by the White House--though affirmed by the State Department--and the tweets deleted. While controversy has focused on the English tweets, the embassy's Arabic tweets were even more craven.
Raymond Stock, Shillman/Ginsburg Writing Fellow at the Middle East Forum, told Breitbart News:
Except for one Arabic tweet which said that consular services will be closed on September 12 due to the demonstrations, and another that praised the patriotism of Americans on September 11, 2001, there was really no mention of what was actually happening in Cairo that day.
Rather, the Arabic tweets repeatedly condemn "religious incitement," understood to be entirely on the side of the unnamed filmmakers, not the howling fanatics that invaded the compound, who represent an ideology that wants to subjugate all of Egypt's Christians or drive them out altogether. Some of them have been removed, like this one:
"We vehemently reject the actions of those who abuse the worldwide right to freedom of expression in order to injure the religious beliefs of others."
Another one (still there at time of writing, that was posted at 19h), asserts:
"The worldwide right to freedom of expression also gives us the right to criticize misguided, inaccurate works."
So rather than defend American values, the official representatives of Hillary Clinton's State Department deliberately stoked (or better yet, stroked) the opportunistic Islamist sense of grievance in the interest of appeasement.

Protesters scaled the walls surrounding the embassy today.
USA Today reported:
Rioters have been seen scaling the wall of the U.S. embassy in Tunis amid reports of black smoke and the sounds of gunfire coming from the diplomatic compound in the Tunisian capital, Al Jazeera and the Associated Press reports…
…CNN, quoting journalist Zeid Mhirsi, also reports that protesters are climbing the gates of the U.S. Embassy in the Tunisian capital. It says police have fired tear gas in an attempt to disperse them.
CNN quotes Mhirsi as saying some protesters are also throwing rocks at the police, while others are waving black flags as they attempt to “vandalize the gates.”

Caption contest moment?
Why not ...
At every embassy station 4 snipers and 8 spotters at stragic, defensable locations on roof tops or at least the highest ground possible. The 12 would be connected electronically (ear buds, micro mikes, etc. Any time a protester throws a stone, is carting a weapon, burns an American flag, etc. spotter calls location and sniper eliminates the agressor. Wash, rinse and repeat, eventually the unwashed masses would get a hint, if no hint recieved at least we would be eliminating the more agressive of the haters.
So the storyline is gonna be all the riots were caused by a film......on Islam.....I guess it's as good a scapegoat as anything the libs can glom onto. let's see how they treat that freedom of speech thing.
I thought my views on liberals couldn't get any worse....I was mistaken. Obama shouldn't be able to cobble up enough votes for dog catcher, much less president. I have no time for them. I'm finding it extremely difficult at my business keeping my thoughts to myself. The last few days, what a cluster*uck. And the media, no shame.
I don't need to explain the embarrassment, you guys know.

Flame throwers just don't have the range. Though for breaches of the wall, they would work pretty well I think. As far as the diplomacy comment, we are just defending American soil form attack (as is our right).

The Post-Cognitive Convulsive Reflex Test – Part 1
When Lieutenant Robert Maynard (and crew) killed Blackbeard, Edward Teach, in ferocious hand-to-hand combat, he cut off the famous pirate’s head and hung it from the prow of his ship as proof of his claim on the reward. Maynard’s crew dumped Blackbeard’s body overboard. No, this is not a Disney movie review – this is one of many ways that good and dangerous men, fighting on the side of the law, properly celebrate victory. Or at least they used to. Can you think of such a thing being allowed today?
Imagine, if you will, that in the very recent past a Time Lord, a native of Gallifrey, had decided his next adventure would involve becoming a journalist, a war correspondent, either with the BBC (the most likely candidate, given that they own the rights to “Doctor Who”), the American press, or even – God forbid – Reuters. Now imagine further that this near-immortal nomadic correspondent had been abroad, “in country” on assignment in Afghanistan a while back when a few American soldiers, feeling pressure from the buildup of metabolic wastes due to biological and physiological processes common to all mammals everywhere, chose to voluntarily dehydrate in the most psychologically gratifying manner available to them, i.e. upon the bodies of their fallen foes.
Double heart-attack!
Followed hard upon, of course, by a hyperventilating soliloquy and/or a mad scrambling dash for his TARDIS, with the intent to put right this great wrong. I allow myself this little sci-fi license because out here in Reality ™, the whole “truth is stranger than fiction” cliché has obviously been bulking up, and will likely be caught doping if anyone can figure out how to administer the test. In the meantime, seriously, I think most Americans have been incredulously wondering why the press were making such a big deal out of dead damp Taliban, all the while actually knowing the answer but reluctant to give it a voice.
I’ll say it; “It’s because they hate us.”
You can get a lot of mileage out of that phrase, by the way, because it is guided by accuracy and powered by honesty.
Say it with me: “It’s because they hate us.”
Now don’t go all maudlin on me and start trying to figure out WHY they hate us… if you head down that road you’ll soon fall prey to all the guilt-ridden Oikophobes and/or Xenophobes clamoring for your attention. They hate us because they’re envious, or because they’re Life’s most epic losers, or because they hate themselves, are looking for someone to blame, and have no sense of personal responsibility. They hate us because they’ve been taught to hate us. And with both Truth and Life being extravagantly complex things, anyone looking for some sort of grievance will likely find several to choose from, thus moral degenerates of all types justify their hatred to themselves, all while patting themselves on the back for their supposed superiority, their “elite” status, or their belief system which must never be insulted.
Their whole lives train them to hate, and because it is the easiest path, they pass that on to their children. The cycle is a LONG way from being broken.
And speaking of “It’s because they hate us”, I recommend prefacing the phrase with “No,” when using it as a rebuttal. Feel free to reword as necessary to fit the requisite grammar dictated by the scansion of your reply, so long as you retain the same core message.
Example:
Q: “Did the angry crowds attack our embassies in Egypt and Yemen, and our consulate in Libya, killing our ambassador and members of his staff because of some anti-Islamic film posted on the Internet?”
A: “No, they did it because they hate us.”
Pop Quiz:
1. Q: Did the 19 9-11 hijackers kill 2,977 people, knock down the World Trade Center, and demolish part of the Pentagon because they disagreed with our policies towards Israel?
A: ___________________________________
2. Q: One thing I’m confused about – that whole “cartoon Mohammed” thing… What’s up with all that, especially given that throughout Islamic history there’s been plenty of artwork depicting him, with nary a squeak? Why all the sudden histrionics?
A: ___________________________________
3. Q: I’d like to get off the “Islam” angle for a bit because I wanted to ask why the TSA finds it necessary to grope little children and wheelchair-bound grandmothers of obvious Icelandic extraction?
A: Actually, that’s still tangentially on the “Islamic” topic, but nevertheless the answer to your question is ___________________________________
4. Q: Honestly now, did ANYONE in Washington DC really think a 2000-ish page healthcare bill dense with spaghetti-bureaucracy and totalitarian dictates was actually a good idea? I mean, obviously some percentage of the public can always be fooled, but I seriously can’t believe that anyone who had a hand in creating that abomination, despite how they may present themselves to the cameras, says in their hearts “I’m proud of this… I did good work here”, and then go on to strenuously fight in its favor. Why would someone do such a thing?
A: I hate to break it to you, but a least a few, and possibly more than a few, are easily that deluded.
But regarding the rest of them, ___________________________________
5. Q: Why does the EPA do things like shut off the water to our country’s richest farmland in the name of a bait minnow, or insist on driving coal-powered electricity generators out of business, or hauling into court people who were just trying to build a home on their own property that’s smack in the middle of a neighborhood, and which is at least a block away from any water, by claiming the property is part of a “navigable waterway” and thus under EPA jurisdiction, with little or no hope of appeal?
A: I think you’re getting the hang of this, but just to nail the point home… ___________________________________
6. Q: But isn’t it true that Osama Bin Laden himself said “Terrorism against America deserves to be praised because it was a response to injustice, aimed at forcing America to stop its support for Israel, which kills our people."
A: It is true that those words actually came out of his mouth, yes, but when that video was made he had already been denying for months that he had been involved. Later, of course, right before the 2004 election, he admitted that he’d directed the attacks. So are you going to believe his stated motivation from a propaganda video when he was simultaneously actively lying about his involvement, or do you finally realize that ___________________________________?
Here’s how to score this quiz: Award yourself 16 and 2/3rd points for every answer you got correct, and consider yourself excused (and excluded) from polite company if you got any wrong.
What to do about this? Well, the hardest work starts at home, and I have an idea I’d like to propose. I think we should test our citizens, and just for the record I’m excusing all members of our military because I can already predict with 99%+ accuracy what their results would be.
For everyone else; stay tuned for Part 2!

he owns it. That blood is on his hands alone.

The Obama Administration is refusing to answer questions regarding the 9-11 attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi. The administration is sticking to its defense that the terrorist attack was really just a protest gone bad. And now they are refusing to answer reporters’ questions on the attack.
Well, State has informed everybody that they will be answering no more questions "due to the ongoing FBI investigation", which, apparently, is not "going on" because the FBI was not allowed in Libya to conduct their forensic procedures, according to Mark Levin last evening, which is damn downright ridiculous considering the Ambassador's murder and invasion of our Consulate was AN ACT OF WAR.QuoteThe Obama Administration is refusing to answer questions regarding the 9-11 attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi.

In the name of the One true GOD!WAR.
Aye.
Whatever is self-evident to Carney is not self-evident to him. And between two types of self-evidence, what is evident to the One should be evident to the many.
The U.S. embassy in Pakistan is airing a public service advertisement on Pakistani television that features President Barack Obama denouncing an anti-Islam video that has sparked protests across the Muslim world.
The U.S. State Department said the embassy spent $70,000 to run the 30-second announcement, which features the president talking about America’s history of religious tolerance. In the same ad, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is seen saying the U.S. government had nothing to do with the inflammatory video that insults the Prophet Muhammad.
The administration’s policy has descended into literal incoherence. It is fragmented. No two parts of it fit. It is a like a database where the same query returns a different answer each time. It’s like a telephone that connects to a different person each time you punch in the same number. But it’s not broken. As George Will once observed: this is what a liberal administration looks like.

The tenses change from present to past. At first the attack on the Benghazi consulate IS the result of an obscure YouTube movie trailer that no one had seen, and now, a week later, the administration admits it WAS a planned attack, as those dirty Republicans insisted. But now, it seems, the whole thing is best forgotten as an unfortunate and unforeseen incident, to join other unfortunate and unforeseen incidents in the past tense.
Benghazi was a peaceful place
Indeed had not a single trace
Of Muslim men attacking like some Huns
So sayeth State, and what is more
They saw no need to guard the store
And so they hired locals armed with guns
That had no bullets just in case
Some peaceful men might rush the place
And burn it down and curse the Yankee flag
And kill and thrill the cheering crowd
Who loved what Allah had allowed
And cheered and spit on that star spangled rag
But State had seen no need for guns
For we don’t want to be the ones
To foster violence where there was no cause
They had some locals there to guard
The consulate inside the yard
When trouble came they ran without a pause
But not to worry State did say
There is no trouble on the way
Although some peaceful protests there may be
But in Benghazi don’t you know
The people there just love us so
Their love is just quite wonderful to see
But then on an unforeseen day
A nine eleven by the way
A group of men armed with both bombs and guns
Attacked and killed four of our men
The State Department acted then
By saying such a thing just simply stuns
They said the fault was some poor slob
Who did a horrid hatchet job
On their beloved Prophet who they claimed
Was much insulted by the flick
Produced by some poor redneck hick
And so it was that this was who got blamed
At first it was the present tense
Yes even though it made no sense
To say the killings were no fault of those
Who peaceably had gathered there
To say they didn’t think it fair
That some dumb movie made them so morose
But now the tense has turned to past
The lies of State just could not last
They now admit attacks were quite well planned
Of course denying they’re at fault
They want the stories now to halt
That claim it’s they who saw the place not manned
By men with guns who shot to kill
And all because State lacked the will
To face with force the mob who stormed the gates
And so the tenses twist and turn
As O and State just never learn
That lies and cover ups just tempt the fates
And so the story that they told
Is changing now it’s grown so old
That Muslim movie critics said thumbs down
On a brief piece of what some said
Was quite enough to see us dead
And State instead of learning just dumbs down

So... Check my facts here;
Nixon gets impeached and ends up resigning because a few of his underlings break into the DNC offices at a hotel. Then the White House tries to cover the break in up. While stymie's people are responsible for thedeathsmurders 5 brave Americans and no outrage from congress. The world has truley gone topsy-turvy.
Stymie doesn't learn from his mistakes, because he is insane enough to think he is incapable of making any...
Speaking of massive mistakes, the cover up of the truth to these attacks is starting to go nuclear -
"Weeks before the presidential election, President Barack Obama’s administration faces mounting opposition from within the ranks of U.S. intelligence agencies over what career officers say is a “cover up” of intelligence information about terrorism in North Africa. Intelligence held back from senior officials and the public includes numerous classified reports revealing clear Iranian support for jihadists throughout the tumultuous North Africa and Middle East region, as well as notably widespread al Qaeda penetration into Egypt and Libya in the months before the deadly Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi."
http://freebeacon.com/revolt-of-the-spooks/ (http://freebeacon.com/revolt-of-the-spooks/)
And all the SCoaMF can do is trot out certifiable idiots like Rice to point the finger back at the intelligence community -
"U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice told Republican senators that her televised statements last month on the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi were based entirely on information she was given by the intelligence community."

The MFM is outing the political nature of such an attack and what it hopes to gain, and it appears it is driven by the MFM's own anguish in not knowing what more it can do to help this nose-diving loser stay in power, it's almost like they are drowning with him. This is amazing and entertaining!

The White House, under political pressure to respond forcefully to the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, is readying strike forces and drones but first has to find a target.
The defense official said U.S. leaders have recognized the need to train Libyan commando forces, but details such as the size, mission and composition of the forces are still being finalized.
So did the hildebeast offer her resignation? No? Then all this is just more pointless melodrama.

Maybe we should rename this thread "Benghazigate"?
"The CIA station chief in Libya reported to Washington within 24 hours of last month’s deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate that there was evidence it was carried out by militants, not a spontaneous mob upset about an American-made video ridiculing Islam’s Prophet Muhammad."
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/new-info-cia-told-washington-libya-attack-not-linked-to-video-within-24-hours/ (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/new-info-cia-told-washington-libya-attack-not-linked-to-video-within-24-hours/)
The "who knew what and when" questions really piss this regime off, time to beat that into them again. But, as we already know, they'll blame the intelligence community again.
Somebody should determine if their response is optimal or not.
Economic issues affect each of us differently, Benghazi affects anyone who considers himself an American the same. It can be reduced to the schoolyard
- we were attacked, how did we respond, did we win; if the prez doesn't have the right answers he loses.
Does anybody other than the Examiner and Fox know about F&F?
White House told of militant claim two hours after Libya attack: emails (http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/10/24/us-usa-benghazi-emails-idUSBRE89N02C20121024)
(Reuters) - Officials at the White House and State Department were advised two hours after attackers assaulted the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 that an Islamic militant group had claimed credit for the attack, official emails show.
The emails, obtained by Reuters from government sources not connected with U.S. spy agencies or the State Department and who requested anonymity, specifically mention that the Libyan group called Ansar al-Sharia had asserted responsibility for the attacks.
The brief emails also show how U.S. diplomats described the attack, even as it was still under way, to Washington.
U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the Benghazi assault, which President Barack Obama and other U.S. officials ultimately acknowledged was a "terrorist" attack carried out by militants with suspected links to al Qaeda affiliates or sympathizers.
Administration spokesmen, including White House spokesman Jay Carney, citing an unclassified assessment prepared by the CIA, maintained for days that the attacks likely were a spontaneous protest against an anti-Muslim film.
While officials did mention the possible involvement of "extremists," they did not lay blame on any specific militant groups or possible links to al Qaeda or its affiliates until intelligence officials publicly alleged that on September 28.
There were indications that extremists with possible al Qaeda connections were involved, but also evidence that the attacks could have erupted spontaneously, they said, adding that government experts wanted to be cautious about pointing fingers prematurely.
U.S. intelligence officials have emphasized since shortly after the attack that early intelligence reporting about the attack was mixed.
Should be a slam-dunk case, but there is no where enough (if any) people in Congress with the balls to do what is right.

Someone on the roof of the nearby CIA annex had a laser designator on the mortar team that was shelling the embassy. They do not simply sit there and point a laser for hours on end, no this means something was overhead with weapons. Failure to employ them is a decision that goes back to the White House.

Why would Obama and Biden do such a thing? Because to launch a military operation against an al-Qaida affiliate on the anniversary of 9/11 would have exposed the hollowness of their boast through convention week and the days thereafter – that Osama was dead, and al-Qaida was finished.

The only problem with that is that once a great society (Greece, Rome, Egypt, etc) falls, it never gets fixed. We will never be able to re-establish the once great United States of America if the current version burns. There will be too much infrastructure damage to recover and will probably end up as separate civil entities.

I think we are headed for a fall no matter what, there is simply too much stacked on the liability side of the ledger, the only argument left to debate is the speed with which it is experienced. It's hard to see how postponing it will make it less painful for everyone...

Personally, I want to be a separate civil entity from those.....people. I have absolutely zero sense of kinship or compatriotism with these people who are destroying our country. I would actually be very happy to make the divorce official.
I literally just had a lady in my business, mexican, who was so excited about becoming a citizen and she had a few more months. She wants to see all come in legally and hates the idea she is lumped in with the illegals.
3I agree with Don, "These immigrants are out there, want to do things in the correct manner and not be a burden, but part of the answer. Until our side understands who our message needs to be directed, the sooner we won't have elections like the last two."
Not only do they need to understand who to take their message to they need to make up their minds what it is and stick with it.
I am ready to go into the barrio and take a Conservative message to them and point out why they are and should vote Republican. I know ten men who have the respect of ten other men and they all have influence. But I have no message to take to them. The only message I could take is that you cannot depend on Republicans therefore you cannot trust them.
That's very historical and we know history begins at birth or in the case of these Mexicans, when they arrived. I cannot point to today, or this year, or the last... well hell, how long has it been since we had stand up Republicans?
... I remember, it was Newt Gingrich last century; the Pubbys are running way short.

The way this is going no matter what happens because of the repubs in power and the dems are all heading for the same place.If it happens now or later it's going to happen unless somebody on our side at least stands up and starts taking the bull by the horns and leadership be damned and starts the fight the dems so richly need to see.
I want to fight but the political braintrust is not willing.So WTF am I doing here.
Benghazi continues as Farce (http://theothermccain.com/2012/11/28/benghazi-tragedy-lives-on-as-farce/)
Vadum (http://frontpagemag.com/2012/matthew-vadum/the-rice-diversion/#.ULXYPwwbPUg.twitter) offers an excellent summary of the news to date:
[blockquote]A Washington Post editorial supports the left-wing Congressional Black Caucus’s wild contention that Republicans are out to get Rice “because she is an African American woman.” Perhaps the editorial writers forgot that President George W. Bush’s secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, an immensely popular figure in the GOP, was also a black woman.
The newspaper then implies that Republicans are secret members of the Ku Klux Klan, citing a recent letter signed by 97 House Republicans questioning Rice’s fitness for the post of top U.S. diplomat. The paper casually opines that “ [M]ore than 80 of the signatories are white males, and nearly half are from states of the former Confederacy.”
Like defense lawyers for an obviously guilty client, these left-wing journalists are working overtime to confuse the public about what happened in Benghazi, Libya, the Obama administration’s role, and what it all means. Democrats and the mainstream media are trying to obstruct progress in the investigation by misdirection, grabbing at any shiny object within reach.
[/blockquote]
I’d like to think that if conservatives keep the pressure on, #OccupyResoluteDesk’s 2012 re-election could be the most pyrrhic since that of Nixon in 1972.
Alas, I’ve moved to the notion that BHO wins a third term on a write-in, as our entire Constitutional order implodes. [Hint: reverse psychology.]
Meanwhile, where is RSM? And where is Cassone’s video to go with his Benghazi anthem (http://chriscassonetea.bandcamp.com/track/high-on-a-mountaintop)?

That's great; she wants to become a citizen. Why? Does she want to become a self-reliant -- as in non-looter -- assimilated American (as we used to know it), or will she be a Mexican-American, hanging her Mexican flag out?
Sorry Don; I have become a cynic even about the ones who want to come legally because being American seems to mean less to them than being able to legally access our "opportunities". And don't get me started on chain-migration.

Well this is disturbing but not surprising.
According to inside sources no shots were fired by State Department security personnel on the night of the 9-11 attack in Benghazi.
Kerry Pickett at Breitbart News (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2012/12/10/Benghazi-Source-Unarmed) reported:
[blockquote] A source with personal knowledge of the security situation in Benghazi told Breitbart News that Senators who listened to closed door testimony about the Benghazi attack were shocked to learn State Department security personnel agents were not immediately armed.
Additionally, agents separated from Ambassador Chris Stevens left to retrieve their M4 weapons in a separate building. Only one returned to protect the Ambassador, while the other two hunkered down in the barracks, the source relayed.

... the report said there had been several worrisome incidents in the run-up to the attack that should have set off warning bells.
It did confirm, though, that contrary to initial accounts, there was no protest outside the consulate. It said responsibility for the incident rested entirely with the terrorists who attacked the mission.
In the immediate aftermath of the attack, administration officials linked the attack to the spreading protests that had begun in Cairo earlier that day over an American-made, anti-Islamic film. Those comments came after evidence already pointed to a distinct militant attack.

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) on Saturday promised that “explosive” congressional hearings over the Benghazi, Libya attacks are on the way.
“There are more Benghazi hearings coming, I think they’re going to be explosive,” Gowdy said on Fox News.

“So if you have additional questions or you think there's some document that somehow you need, I'll work with you to try to get it and see if we can provide that to you,” Kerry told committee Chairman Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., on April 17. But Kerry added: “I do not want to spend the next year coming up here talking about Benghazi.”
Let's the play the "I remember game" OK?

"I think everybody in the mission thought it was a terrorist attack from the beginning," Greg Hicks, a 22-year foreign service diplomat who was the highest-ranking U.S. official in Libya after the strike...
'My Jaw Hit the Floor' (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2013/05/05/Acting-Amb-Gregory-Hicks-on-9-16-Benghazi-Talking-Points-My-jaw-hit-the-floor-as-I-watched-this) as WH Blamed YouTube
Hicks, who did not appear on the show but whose reactions were featured based on transcripts of interviews with Issa's committee, said he was stunned by what UN Ambassador Susan Rice claimed on five different news shows on Sep. 16. When she appeared on Face the Nation, she followed an interview with the President of Libya who claimed he had "no doubt" it was a terror attack. Moments later, Amb. Rice contradicted him and claimed a spontaneous protest was more likely.
Acting Ambassador Hicks watched the Sunday shows and said he found this contradiction shocking. "The net impact of what has transpired is the spokesperson of the most powerful country in the world has basically said that the President of Libya is either a liar or doesn't know what he's talking about," he accused. Hicks added, "My jaw hit the floor as I watched this...I've never been as embarrassed in my life, in my career as on that day."
Hicks believes the stunning failure of diplomacy on the Sunday news shows explains why it took the FBI three weeks to gain access to the Benghazi site. The U.S. had effectively humiliated the Libyan President on national TV. That decision, he believed, probably compromised our ability to investigate and track down those responsible.
I have zero faith justice will be served thru congressional channels.
I agree with every one of your "ifs" Libertas. The frustrating thing is (or should I say numbering among the many frustrating things!) that within this level of ineptitude and outright corruption exists remarkable opportunities for true conservatives to bloom and blossom - just like Cruz has. With the exception of Trey Gowdy and to minor degrees Paul and whats~his~name there doesn't seem to be any who will step up.
What a lost opportunity; what a shame.

Maxwell was removed from his job on Dec. 18, the day after the ARB report was released, and subsequently placed on administrative leave, which is meant to give the State Department time to investigate whether Maxwell should be fired or return to work. Five months later, that investigation seems stalled and Maxwell sits at home, where he continues to be paid but is not allowed to return to his job.
The State Department declined to comment on the reasons that Maxwell and the other officials were placed on administrative leave, or on what the four were told about the reasons for the decision. It did confirm that the ARB did not recommend direct disciplinary action because it didn’t find misconduct or a direct breach of duty by the officials. “As a matter of policy, we don’t speak to specific personnel matters,” said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki.

She has now become highly qualified to run another major gov't department.
While continuing her work at the State Department, in the latter half of 2012, she also worked for Teneo, a strategic consulting firm, which was founded by Doug Band, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton. Teneo has advised corporate clients like Coca-Cola and MF Global, the collapsed brokerage firm run by Jon S. Corzine, a former governor of New Jersey.
At the same time, Ms. Abedin served as a consultant to the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation and worked in a personal capacity for Mrs. Clinton as she prepared to transition out of her job as secretary of state.
