One of the members of the "Special Protection Unit" guarding the Benghazi consulate states that the unit had never been given shooting lessons. A 33-year-old individual referred to only has "Ali" was part of the February 17 Brigade's four-man team guarding the Benghazi consulate on Sept 11. He says he and his team members had received "light" and "theoretical" training inside the consulate from time to time, but never experience shooting firearms. He says they occasionally received "practical lessons," but these lessons were never accompanied

"We Were Soldiers Once … and Young" told the courageous story of the Ia Drang Valley fight in 1965; the first major battle between regular U.S. Army troops and North Vietnamese regulars in which more than 300 American soldiers lost their lives.

President Obama is holding on to a five-point lead over Republican Mitt Romney in Ohio, but that margin has been cut in half since September, according to a new Quinnipiac University/CBS News poll. Mr. Obama holds a 50 to 45 percent lead over Romney among likely voters in the Buckeye State, down from a 53 to 43 percent advantage on Sept. 26. Three percent of likely voters there are undecided. A gender gap persists: President Obama still has a double-digit advantage among women, 55 to 40 percent (down from

Lance Armstrong verdict upheld

Geneva - Cycling's governing body agreed Monday to strip Lance Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles and ban him for life, following a report from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency that accused him of leading a massive doping program on his teams. UCI President Pat McQuaid announced that the federation accepted the USADA's report on Armstrong and would not appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The decision clears the way for Tour de France organizers to officially remove Armstrong's name from the record books, erasing his consecutive victories from 1999-2005.

Battleground Tracking Poll:
Mitt Romney takes lead

Politico, by James Hohmann Original Article

Posted By: DaddyO- 10/22/2012 7:22:43 AM Post Reply

Mitt Romney has taken a narrow national lead, tightened the gender gap and expanded his edge over President Barack Obama on who would best grow the economy. A new POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Tracking Poll of 1,000 likely voters — taken from Sunday through Thursday of last week — shows Romney ahead of Obama by two points, 49 to 47 percent. That represents a three-point swing in the GOP nominee’s direction from a week ago but is still within the margin of error. Obama led 49 percent to 48 percent the week before.

IMF's epic plan to conjure away
debt and dethrone bankers

Telegraph [UK], by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard Original Article

So there is a magic wand after all. A revolutionary paper by the International Monetary Fund claims that one could eliminate the net public debt of the US at a stroke, and by implication do the same for Britain, Germany, Italy, or Japan. One could slash private debt by 100pc of GDP, boost growth, stabilize prices, and dethrone bankers all at the same time. It could be done cleanly and painlessly, by legislative command, far more quickly than anybody imagined. The conjuring trick is to replace our system of private bank-created money -- roughly 97pc of the money supply

Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are set to meet in their third and final debate ahead of 6 November's presidential election - focusing on foreign policy. Libya and Iran will likely feature, as well as terrorism, a rising China and the wars in Afghanistan and Syria. The 90-minute televised event in Boca Raton, Florida will be their last head-to-head clash before the election and is expected to draw 60 million viewers. An NBC poll on Sunday put the men in a dead heat, each with 47% support. Monday's debate at Lynn University will begin at 2100 EDT (0100 GMT on

President Barack Obama isn't talking about it and neither is Mitt Romney. But come January, 163 million workers can expect to feel the pinch of a big tax increase regardless of who wins the election.[Snip] Why are so many politicians sour on continuing the payroll tax break? Republicans question whether reducing the tax two years ago has done much to stimulate the sluggish economy. Politicians from both parties say they are concerned that it threatens the independent revenue stream that funds Social Security. They are backed by powerful advocates for seniors, including AARP, who adamantly oppose any extension.

For President Obama that means sitting down with Jay Leno on the set of The Tonight Show on Wednesday, for a screening that is bound to draw more than average viewing figures. More even, it is possible, than the election itself. Obama's appearance will be aired less than two weeks before the day itself as both he and Romney make last ditch attempts to secure a win.

Sen. Rubio: Obama has

second term agenda

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Sunday charged that President Obama had "given up" on trying to present voters with a second term agenda. “The most startling thing that has happened here the last month over this campaign is the president has completely given up on outlining any sort of agenda for the future. What’s his plan for the next four years?” asked Rubio, a prominent surrogate for GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney, on ABC’s “This Week.” Rubio said that the few policies pushed by the president and his supporters called for “spending a lot of money.”

Bringing America Back Home

Mitt Romney keeps surprising people -- in a positive way. First he turns out the best debater ever in American presidential politics -- going back to the first Nixon-Kennedy debate. Now it seems that he is an excellent stand-up comedian -- working in the deadpan style of a Jack Benny or Bob Newhart. Having already whipped Barack Obama in their two debates, Romney faced off against the president again on Thursday night at the Alfred E. Smith dinner in New York to benefit Catholic charities -- a black tuxedo and white bow-tie affair where the two men competed strictly for laughs

Monica Lewinsky urged by

According to a couple of well-placed New York publishing sources, the tell-all memoir Monica Lewinsky is said to be shopping could snare some pretty hefty offers for the world’s most famous White House intern — possibly as much as $12 million. I’m also hearing that a number of people who feel very protective of both former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have quietly reached out to Lewinsky, asking her to drop those plans. While my sources stress that neither of the Clintons are involved in any contact

Obama Is Right

Obama has been telling the nation tales since his election. In fact, his entire life has been one long story with him as writer, director, producer, and star -- you could call it "A Barack Obama Production." It's not that he hasn't told us stories; it's that the ones he has told bear little resemblance to reality. After all the suffering America has experienced while he was busy getting the "policy right," there is no one left who still believes in Barack's brilliance.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel, who will get his first parole hearing Wednesday, deserves to be released from prison a decade after he was convicted of killing his neighbor because he was a victim of a miscarriage of justice and has been a model inmate, his supporters say. But the victim's relatives want Skakel kept in prison the rest of his life, saying he was properly convicted and has shown no remorse. Skakel is serving 20 years to life for beating Martha Moxley to death with a golf club in 1975 in Greenwich when they were 15-year-old neighbors.

President Barack Obama, who plummeted in the polls after his disastrous first debate performance and saw no 'bounce' after the second debate has a final chance in Florida tonight night to halt Mitt Romney’s late surge and stave off a re-election defeat. Obama leads by a tiny 0.2 per cent nationally in the RealClearPolitics poll of averages. But he is down seven in the Gallup tracking poll, down two in the Rasmussen poll and has seen his leads in Florida and Virginia disappear and his Ohio advantage whittled down to almost nothing.

In the 1967 film "A Guide for the Married Man," a husband, played by a peerless Walter Matthau, is given lessons in ways to cheat on his wife safely. The most essential rule: "Deny! Deny! Deny!"—no matter what. In an instructive scene, he's shown a wife undone by shock, and screaming, with reason: She has just walked in on her husband making love to a glamorous stranger. "What are you doing," she wails, "who is that woman?" "What woman, where?" the husband serenely counters, as he and the tart in question get out of bed and calmly dress.

NFL coaching legend Marty Schottenheimer is suing a San Francisco financier who allegedly stiffed him on a multi-million dollar coaching contract with a football league cofounded by the husband of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.). Schottenheimer, the 2004 NFL Coach of the Year with the San Diego Chargers, alleges United Football League cofounder Bill Hambrecht failed to pay his $1.3 million contract to coach the Virginia Destroyers. “After a period of negotiation, Schottenheimer expressed a willingness to serve as the head coach and general manager of the team,” states the complaint, unearthed by Courthouse News Service.

Two new Ohio polls came out yesterday after my Ohio post, from from Gravis Marketing and PPP, both of which point to a razor-thin race in the most coveted swing state. A closer look at each poll shows just how much Romney has gained since the debates, and why he would be absolutely thrilled if these polls were accurate on Election Day. The poll from Gravis Marketing shows Obama and Romney tied at 47 percent. But that’s as good as it gets for Obama. Among the most interesting tidbits from the poll: Romney leads Obama by 19 percent among independents, 52–33,

President Obama suddenly finds himself on the hot seat about foreign policy. He’ll face intense scrutiny tonight for blunders surrounding the deadly terror attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, when he takes on Mitt Romney in the third and final 2012 presidential debate. The debate, in Boca Raton, Fla., is supposed to deal exclusively with foreign policy, which should have been a gift for Obama. After all, he has the foreign-policy résumé that you only get from being president. He ordered the Seal Team 6 strike that killed Osama bin Laden —

As we roll into the final presidential debate, the polls show a very tight race. One thing they don't show, however, is how race is a factor in the election. By my estimate, you have to build in a three- to five-point slip from the poll numbers for any black candidate on election day. To overcome the slip, you need to pump up the black vote by equal measure. And that's not easy, because brothers and sisters aren't among the top turnout groups. In 2008, Barack Obama was able to compensate for the slip and then some.

Obama was gripping the telephone so tightly that it looked as if he were about to pulverize it in the palm of his hand. Back in the spring of 2011, House Republicans had refused to raise the nation’s debt ceiling unless the president first conceded to massive spending cuts—a gratuitous game of chicken that put the global economy at risk and defied decades of bipartisan Washington tradition.(Snip)Of all Obama’s go-it-alone maneuvers, none highlights the thorny temptations of his new governing strategy as clearly as June’s DREAM Act deferral—which was developed by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano

Barack Obama got super lucky in the second presidential debate last week. Mitt Romney made a rare mistake, and the president took brutal advantage. Clever advantage too, for the governor’s mistake enabled the president to side-step what otherwise would have been a discussion that is deadly dangerous to him.(Snip)The president’s words gave him deniability in two directions: He protected himself against Republican charges just like the charge Romney leveled at him, while simultaneously refraining from any definitive characterization of the attack as terrorism. The language was ambiguous — and intentionally ambiguous.

If only women voted, President Obama would be on track for a landslide re-election, equaling or exceeding his margin of victory over John McCain in 2008. Mr. Obama would be an overwhelming favorite in Ohio, Florida, Virginia and most every other place that is conventionally considered a swing state. The only question would be whether he could forge ahead into traditionally red states, like Georgia, Montana and Arizona. If only men voted, Mr. Obama would be biding his time until a crushing defeat at the hands of Mitt Romney, who might win by a similar margin
