| WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Friday defended US support for Arab Spring nations as "a strategic necessity," vowing never to retreat amid a firestorm over the attack on a US mission in Libya. "We will not return to the false choice between freedom and stability. And we will not pull back our support for emerging democracies when the going gets rough," Clinton told a US think tank. "That would be a costly strategic mistake that would, I believe, undermine both our interests and our values."

Emerging democracies?
Look again, twit. "Democracy" is not what's emerging. Try "festering breeding ground for despotic muslim extremism", with a thin veneer of elections smeared over them to fool the useful idiots in the west. Ask the Christian minorities fleeing from their burning homes and stores in Egypt and Syria how much they think their vote will count for in an "Arab Spring Democracy".
No money to countries governed by Islam.

Clinton frames the question incorrectly as a false choice between freedom and stability. No, the choice is between friend and enemy.

Does this somehow explain 4 weeks of spin and lies from Obama about the deadly Al Qaeda terrorist connected assault on our consulate in Benghazi?
Or is this just more smokescreen?
Someone has to take the blame.

Not only Libya but, take a peek at Syria. Latest reports of Al Qaeda fighting along side of the "rebels". It's a civil war. Assad is bad but the Mideast is in a state of entropy. Is Al Qaeda now an ally we are supporting against Assad? What a mess.

#1 - Couldn't have said it better. The Hillbag (in all her Mao tunic glory) is helping to engineer the spread of islamofacism. She is an enabler of an intolerant, totalitarian, brutally violent dictatorship devoid of all decent human rights called a caliphate that is intent on ultimately taking over the world. If anybody thinks that's crazy then look it up - it is their stated intent and has been for 1400 years. It's all about conquest and domination through any means possible. The world has not yet seen the horrors that this "culture" has in store for us should they get their way and this (w)itch is all for it!

Those are the only two choices Islam permits.
Too bad no one in the Obama Administration has any idea what that means.
Come on, November!

Not exactly. FWIW, rumours swirl in the Blogosphere, that the meaning of the word 'support' is:
sending guns which may have gotten to Al-Q types in Libya, in a fast and furious fashion.
Reportedly, these are the weapons that--allegedly-- Amb Stevens was set up by Herself to retrieve from the famously restless natives, before she would find herself in her own custom-made F&F scandal....weapons purportedly used to kill him.
Recently, these suspicions are said to be at the back of her decisions to duck and cover, whilst Bubba lawyers up.
Therefore, under these suppositions, it would appear that the meaning of the word 'democracy' is limited to:
use of our courts and Constitution to protect Herself from liability.

The U.S. has identified five men who might be responsible for the attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, last year, and has enough evidence to justify seizing them by military force as suspected terrorists, officials say. But there isn´t enough proof to try them in a U.S. civilian court as the Obama administration prefers. The men remain at large while the FBI gathers evidence. But the investigation has been slowed by the reduced U.S. intelligence presence in the region since the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks, and by the limited ability to assist by Libya´s post-revolutionary law

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Earlier this week I wrote a piece about how Barack Obama was criticizing “Washington’s priorities” and the IRS scandal, as if he had not been president for the past four years and four months. There is something brazen and audacious in even attempting something like this. I speculated that Mr. Obama is unable to take responsibility for the problems that have occurred on his watch for reasons rooted in cognitive dissonance (failures cannot possibly happen on the watch of the Great and Mighty Obama). He is engaged in what psychiatrists call disassociation

A California Tea Party group has become the first to sue the Internal Revenue Service over the targeting of conservative groups. The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati by the NorCal Tea Party Patriots alleges that the IRS violated the constitutional rights of the group by applying "intensive and intrusive scrutiny" when they applied for tax-exempt status. “NorCal and its members suffered years of delay and expense while awaiting the exemption and spending valuable time and money answering the IRS´ questions.

I’ve always been an admirer of President Barack Obama. One can only marvel at a man who writes his autobiography before he does anything noteworthy. Some critics have labeled him a narcissist, but I say it’s just good, old American can-do attitude. You have to appreciate a man who has never experienced the complexities of a paper route or the discipline of the Boy Scouts becoming President, and leading the world’s largest economy and commanding history’s most powerful military. Upon taking command, he was faced with severe economic troubles, due to the actions of Presidents Carter

One of many good things you can say about President Obama is that he is loyal to his friends. But sometimes, he is loyal to a fault, as is the case with Attorney General Eric Holder. Presidential buddy or not, it’s time for Holder to go. You expect a Democratic attorney general to make Republicans unhappy — which Holder has, on several fronts. He was even held in contempt of Congress by House Republicans over the “Fast and Furious” gun-walking scandal.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
