| An intelligence source on the ground in Libya told Fox News that no threat assessment was conducted before U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team began "taking up residence" at the Benghazi compound -- describing the security lapses as a "total failure." The claim comes more than two weeks after Stevens and three other Americans were killed in what is now being described officially as a terror attack possibly tied to Al Qaeda. The source told Fox News that there was no real security equipment installed in the villas on the compound except for a few video cameras.

Lies on top of lies on top of lies turns out to be the 0bama regime story of what took place. They were totally unprepared for an attack despite the warnings. Concentration seems to have been on 0bama's celebrity fundraisers.

So ambassador stevens was lying to himself in the personal journal found by CNN? He wrote that he feared for his life? The journal found at the unsecured crime scene, where the FBI has not yet arrived almost two weeks after the filthy islamofascist terrorist pigs killed the ambassador and three other americans?
Hard to believe, hey?

The only security anyone really needs - - is to know how to make the "peace" sign - - and to touch your heart as a sign of love.
Yes - - absolutely - - peace and love are the best protection.

This is dereliction at the highest level. Obama and Hillary sent the ambassador to his death. The House must bring Obama up on charges and vote to impeach. It doesn't matter if the Senate won't hold a trial.

#3 where did you read that about the Seals being murdered 4 hours later? Link please
The savages had the Ambassador for 8-12 hours...foreign press reporting torture, sodomy of Ambassador and parading his body through that time
The Obama administration had prior warning from Libya about an attack three days before AND from Egypt on Sept 4...
BUMPS IN THE ROAD!!!! May the fraud feel the pain the families of these Americans feels over their loss...

Still smells fishy to me. I can't help but feel they are covering up the fact that they were warned ahead of time - before everyone was killed.

It's disturbing to think about the classified information that was lost. Not that the loss of human life is secondary, but the loss of intelligence could lead to even more successful terrorist attacks.

Chris Stevens and BHO both hail from Chicago and are reportedly gay - why did Obama send him to Libya without ANY security?
Did Obama/Hilary want him silenced or was this to be a faux hostage situation with O riding in as the Saviour right before the Election?
What role did Hilary's Body Person and Muslim Brotherhood agent Huma Abedin and Iranian born Communist Valeri Jarrett play, if any, in Ambassador Stevens death and that of the other Consular official and the two SEALS?
How many more SEALS will this Administration kill by their feckless /treasonous policy?

State is changing the story hourly.
Could that be because for 2 weeks Mitt has been receiving all the intelligence briefings Obe and Hill were ignoring? Briefing he should have started receiving the day he was officially nominated.
The story fell apart because Mitt immediately called it a terrorist attack and the media doing their dam best couldn't shove it back into the video.
It will be interesting to see if Obe releases his Bin Laden film in October won't it. Will he chance creating another attack maybe more close to home if he does?

The Soetoro administration says it had no prior warning of possible attacks on the Benghazi consulate? Consider these events in 2012: 6 June - an IED is thrown at the U.S. consulate; 11 June - the British ambassador's motorcade is attacked by an RPG; 18 June - gunmen attack the Tunisian consulate; 5 August - the International Red Cross building in Benghazi was attacked by RPGs. What more "actionable intelligence" do Barry and Hillary need to connect the dots?
Seems like Congress needs to get Scott Bultrowicz (Director, Diplomatic Security Service and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Diplomatic Security) in the witness chair pronto.

I don't believe anyone in this administration. Have never been impressed with Mr. Clapper nor his " intelligence."
I really think Clapper was told by the pResident's people to give cover to the loser in chief, hence the change in story to Catherine Herridge. Lies upon lies is correct.

We at Townhall have been covering this hotly contested Senate race for months and the results are finally in: With 36 percent of precincts reporting, Elizabeth Warren has been declared the next junior Senator from Massachusetts. Warren has never held public office before and the eye-popping $40 million she raised this election cycle evidently proved more than enough to unseat incumbent Senator Scott Brown. This was the most expensive Senate race of 2012 -- by a long shot.

CNN’s Peter Hamby reported that Mitt Romney‘s internal polling showed President Obama leading in Ohio by five percentage points.Per Hamby’s post: The number represented a sharp final bump for Obama in Ohio, a race that had essentially been a tied race through much of the previous week, according to the campaign’s daily tracking. The polling, which also showed a tight race in Pennsylvania, explains why Romney officials decided to send their candidate on last-minute Election Day visits to Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

The Obama and Romney campaigns may be gearing up for a very late night, with one Obama campaign adviser predicting that in Florida alone, "they'll be counting until 2 a.m." The Obama adviser said signs suggest the race is quite tight, though the campaign claimed to be "holding strong" in key battlegrounds like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The adviser also said turnout among black voters in Virginia was better than expected, suggesting that could be a problem for Mitt Romney. Republican operatives in Virginia, though, predicted a razor-thin victory for their candidate in the state.

Washington - Early returns on Tuesday in what is anticipated to be a dead even presidential election contained no surprises, as CNN projected President Barack Obama will win his home state of Illinois and eight other races while Republican challenger Mitt Romney will win nine states. All races called so far went as expected after the roller-coaster ride of an election campaign that was buffeted by a superstorm and missteps on both sides. Obama and Romney ran dead even in final polls that hinted at a result rivaling some of the closest presidential elections in history, reflecting the deep political

A week after Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast, a majority of voters said President Barack Obama’s response to the crisis wasn’t a factor in their vote, according to early exit polls. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed, per CBS News’ early exit polling released by radio station WKZO in Kalamazoo, Mich., said Obama’s handling of the storm was a minor factor in their vote or wasn’t a factor at all. Twenty-six percent named Sandy as an “important” factor, and 15 percent said it was the “most important” factor in their decision.

Mitt Romney is leading among independents in both Ohio and Virginia, early exit polls show. In Ohio, the former Massachusetts governor takes 56 percent of self-identified independents, compared with 40 percent for President Barack Obama. That’s a huge decrease for Obama from 2008, when the exit polls found him winning independents in Ohio by 12 points, 52 percent to 44 percent for John McCain. The numbers are similar but slightly tighter in Virginia: Romney takes 53 percent of independents there, according to ABC News exit polls, a 12-point lead over Obama. In 2008, Obama won independents in the state by

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge.

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.
