Ambassador Stevens warned of Islamic
extremism before Benghazi attack

Washington Times, by Guy Taylor Original Article

Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, in a diplomatic cable from Libya last June, cited the apparent rise of “Islamic extremism” and the spotting of “the Al Qaeda flag” over buildings outside the city of Benghazi, where he and three other Americans were ultimately killed in an attack on Sept. 11. The previously classified cable is among 166 pages of documents made public Friday by Rep. Darryl E. Issa, the Republican chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, who says they expose an egregious shortage of security

Mitt Romney, as Viewed

One can’t help being in awe of the New York Times. The ingenuity it displays in running down Mitt Romney, if applied to a more useful project, would be a national treasure. Consider Alessandra Stanley’s report (comment?) on Candy Crowley’s performance as debate moderator, and Romney’s reaction. “Mr. Obama kept his eyes on his Republican opponent, whereas Mr. Romney’s gaze kept straying over to the moderator, Candy Crowley of CNN, peevishly calling on her to give him more time…

This past Friday the State Department released internal docs showing that Chris Stevens, U.S. Ambassador to hell’s corridor in Libya, begged Obama’s boys in D.C. to ramp up security in Benghazi. And, as we all know now, he got nothing from the State Department but was allowed to be tortured and murdered by “democracy seekers” from the “Religion of Peace” in the “liberated” nation of Libya. As far as I am concerned, blood is dripping from Obama’s golf-gloved campaign hands. Whatever do I mean, you ask? Well, according to James Rosen’s findings in the newly released damning papers,

Gosh, Who Talks Like

Goffstown, NH--At a campaign stop in Rockford, Ill., not long ago, Mitt Romney sought to convey his feelings for his wife, Ann. “Smitten,” he said. Not merely in love. “Yeah, smitten,” he said. “Mitt was smitten.” It was a classic Mittism, as friends and advisers call the verbal quirks of the Republican presidential candidate. In Romneyspeak, passengers do not get off airplanes, they “disembark.” People do not laugh, they “guffaw.” Criminals do not go to jail, they land in the “big house.” Insults are not hurled, “brickbats” are.

The toughest foreign-policy issue our next president will face is Pakistan, the most dangerous country in the world. The battle for the soul of this critical nation is underway; we need to hear at Monday’s debate how President Obama and Governor Romney intend to get the right outcome. Malala Yousafzai, a 14-year-old girl, is fighting for her life in a hospital in Birmingham, England, because she believes girls should get an education. She was shot in the head by the Pakistani Taliban for her beliefs. Her story epitomizes her country’s story. It is a battlefield between extremists,

On Monday, Obama must
come clean on Benghazi

This week’s presidential debate should have provided voters with some answers on the tragedy that happened in Benghazi, Libya on Sept. 11. Instead, we heard more confusing statements from President Obama. But this Monday, at the third and final presidential faceoff between Obama and Romney, the focus will be on foreign affairs — and the President must finally come clean. There are two main issues: the failure by the Obama administration to secure the consulate in Libya in the run-up to the attack, and the conflicting stories and lack of credible information in the weeks that followed.

LONDON — She dreamed a dream, and it came true. But what happened next for Susan Boyle? The middle-aged church volunteer from a small town in Scotland became an instant global celebrity in 2009 with her heart-stopping rendition of the "Les Miserables" number "I Dreamed a Dream" on a TV talent show. A week is a long time in showbiz — and in our hyper-speed online age three and a half years is an eternity — but Boyle is still going strong.

CHANTILLY, Virginia -- Remember the War on Women? A few months ago, it seemed like the battle for women's votes was one Democrats had decisively won. While (male) Republican politicians talked about transvaginal ultrasounds, legitimate rape and the like, Democrats laughed all the way to the bank. President Obama's steady double-digit leads with women in poll after poll were a major reason he stayed ahead of Mitt Romney for months on end. Then suddenly, a couple of weeks ago, Obama's edge with women began to melt away. More than any other group, women have accounted for Romney's surge

Few organizations are as skilled at spending billions of dollars while accomplishing little as the federal government is. The Obama administration’s failure to protect military voters demonstrates this — across America, ballots have failed to mail on time to overseas service members. It is a mistake that keeps repeating every two years, and Americans should demand it never happens again. When you learn more about the rogue’s gallery the Obama administration counts as engaged, you’ll understand the administration’s failures better. But let’s start with our old friend Eric Holder. Sadly, multiple states failed to send military ballots

The 'War on Women' Backfires

One of the intriguing aspects of this election is how the Democrats' shameless and clueless appeal to women is ending with the vaporization of the historic "gender gap" among voters. The Lady Parts Convention From the prancing Code Pink vulvas outside the convention venue to the choice of speakers, there was no doubt that the Democrat Convention was aimed at securing the women's vote. Indeed, Balkanizing women and minority voters was then as significant a part of the Obama strategy as securing the electoral votes of Ohio is now to them.

Why America is breaking for Romney

Before the first presidential debate on Oct. 3, Mitt Romney trailed President Obama 49 percent to 46 percent in the RealClearPolitics national poll average. After Americans got to meet the real Romney during the first presidential debate -- not the caricature created by Obama's omnipresent negative television ads -- Romney pulled ahead of Obama in the RCP average, 47 percent to 46 percent. Democrats had hoped the second debate would provide a more aggressive Obama an opportunity to expose the debate Romney as a fraud. And two flash polls taken after Tuesday's debate

At about 3 p.m. on Thursday, October 18, Barack Obama strode into the Manhattan studios of Comedy Central for a taping of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. The two men discussed several issues, including Libya. Stewart noted the exchange between Obama and Mitt Romney on that subject at the debate earlier in the week and asked Obama about the “confusion within the administration” over the attack that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead in Benghazi. “Why? What was it that caused that confusion?” -Stewart asked.

The Obama re-election campaign has accepted at least one foreign donation in violation of the law — and does nothing to check on the provenance of millions of dollars in other contributions, a watchdog group alleges. Chris Walker, a British citizen who lives outside London, told The Post he was able to make two $5 donations to President Obama’s campaign this month through its Web site while a similar attempt to give Mitt Romney cash was rejected. It is illegal to knowingly solicit or accept money from foreign citizens. Walker said he used his actual street address in England

The looming shortfall
in public pension costs

How much will the underfunded pension benefits of government employees cost taxpayers? The answer is usually given in trillions of dollars, and the implications of such figures are difficult for most people to comprehend. These calculations also generally reflect only legacy liabilities — what would be owed if pensions were frozen today. Yet with each passing day, the problem grows as states fail to set aside sufficient funds to cover the benefits public employees are earning. In a recent paper, we bring the problem closer to home. We studied how much additional money would have to be devoted annually

Last night I attended the opening night of the Andrew Breitbart documentary Hating Breitbart in St. Louis, MO. Seeing Andrew again on screen was a reminder of just how irreplaceable he is. Already I was starting to forget just how intelligent he was, how courageous, how humble, how entertaining, and how he “soaked up the hate” of the left so that others would feel less. The movie is a primer on Andrew Breitbart’s mission; director Andrew Marcus weaves a portrait of Andrew the man along with Breitbart’s great insight into the American landscape: that the war is with,

The New York Times reports (and the White House denies) that “The United States and Iran have agreed for the first time to one-on-one negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, according to Obama administration officials, setting the stage for what could be a last-ditch diplomatic effort to avert a military strike on Iran.” Two of the three assertions in that lead paragraph are demonstrably false. One-on-one negotiations have been going on for years (most recently, according to my friend “Reza Kahlili,” in Doha, where, he was told, Valerie Jarrett and other American officials recently traveled for the latest talks).

It’s a perennial tradition in American elections which dates back pretty much as long as we’ve had elections. The board of editors at most all of the major newspapers get together every four years and pen some long winded explanation of how they have carefully weighed all of the facts, considered the angles, and will now share with you their expert opinion about who you should vote for and why. It’s the coveted newspaper endorsement, and campaigns love to talk about them when they get them. (And they love berating the ones who endorse the opponent nearly as much.)

The tragic events of September 11 have been dramatized several times on the big screen over the past decade, but now a new film starring Woody Harrelson and Martin Sheen takes another look at the attacks, this time from the perspective of conspiracy theorists.

Paris - He did nothing for African-Americans, left the poor even poorer, his health care reform was a step backwards, and he may yet let another financial disaster erupt on his watch. In short, Barack Obama squandered the huge wave of goodwill that gave the United States its first black president, argues the president and publisher of the high-brow and left-leaning US magazine Harper's. John R. MacArthur has been making those points all week as he tours Paris to promote his new French-language book "L'Illusion Obama" that seeks to puncture the myths about the man who was awarded the Nobel

Washington — With just over two weeks before voters head to the polls, the presidential campaigns are bearing down on the same swing states that have been the focus for the past year, but they are using different prescriptions for several battlegrounds. Mitt Romney hasn’t been to Wisconsin in the last 30 days, for example. But over about the same period his campaign has been outspending Obama there, $3.9 million to $2.9 million. In Virginia, the opposite is true. Romney has been there 11 times over the past 30 days — four for Obama — but is being outspent on

Mitt Romney likes to say he won't "apologize" for his success in business. But what he never says is "thank you" – to the American people – for the federal bailout of Bain & Company that made so much of his outsize wealth possible. According to the candidate's mythology, Romney took leave of his duties at the private equity firm Bain Capital in 1990 and rode in on a white horse to lead a swift restructuring of Bain & Company, preventing the collapse of the consulting firm where his career began. When The Boston Globe reported on the rescue at the time of his Senate run against Ted Kennedy,

Sandra Fluke, the woman at the center of a media firestorm earlier this year after Rush Limbaugh called her a “slut,” spoke Saturday in front of about 10 people at the Sak ‘N Save in north Reno. The speech was part of a daylong effort by Democrats to get Northern Nevadans to the polls on the first day of early voting. “I’m trying to do everything I can for an election that I feel is very important. I have a unique opportunity for how I get to do that,” said Fluke, who is coming off recent campaign trips to Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire and Florida as a surrogate for Democratic President
