| Just one hour after the seven-hour-long terrorist attacks upon the U.S. consulate in Benghazi began, our commander-in-chief, vice president, secretary of defense and their national security team gathered together in the Oval Office listening to phone calls from American defenders desperately under siege and watching real-time video of developments from a drone circling over the site. Yet they sent no military aid that might have intervened in time to save lives. Why? The attack began on September 11, at about 10:00 p.m. Libyan time (4:00 p.m. in Washington). Ambassador Chris Stevens

Comments: So much of what transpired has made absolutely no sense. There's a conspiracy theory going around that the Obama administration staged the attempted kidnapping of the Ambassador so he could heroically rescue him just before the election. And things didn't go according to plan.
Why else would the administration make up the story of the video? Obama, Hillary, Carney and Rice lied to everyone... including David Letterman. What the hell is going on?

These dead Americans may have had knowledge of yet another Obama gun-running operation- this time to Al Queda. Sometimes knowledge is a very dangerous thing to have.

Oh didn't want to offend his buddy Mooslums, and was worried what the Europeans would think of America. Plus he had fund raising stops, tv appearances, and golf to play. Man caused disasters can wait. It was the video. Good blame to spin right away. After all most people are basically stupid and will believe whatever he says, right. Reminds me of the movie "Chicago", where the alibi for the press was "They both went for the gun!". We know that was a lie in the movie, but that's how they be doin' it in Chicago.

There has to be more to come. We are learning the what's, and when's and where's.
From the git-go, I wanted to know the WHY's.
What the hell was (is?) going on?
And I understand that UAV's have to be scheduled in advance, and don't just fly around the Middle East looking for things going on, and ***just happened*** to catch this incident in progress - for the White House evening of entertainment?
Why this Ambassador? Why that town in Libya, and not Tripoli?
WHY THAT STUPID VIDEO EXCUSE? And why is that guy STILL IN JAIL?

Treason Op = Obama & Morsi cooked up a kidnap scheme so Barry could trade the blind sheik for Amb. Stevens... So when teh attack reports came in... Obama had to delay, delay, delay... to make sure Morsi's terrorists got away with Stevens.
Sadly, as with Gadafi, Stevens was brutalized for hours and dropped off dead at the hospital.

Finally facts seem to be emerging. Documentary material that can't be denied or dismissed. And it is about time.
Facts are stubborn things.
I never had any faith that reporters asking at the WH or State or other agencies would lead anywhere. Or that the LSM wanted to dig deep. Or that the talking head format of TV shows would somehow produce truth like a rabbit pulled from a hat.
Or august pundits coasting on their reputation or a snotty exchange during the debates.

It's a lot worse than just "1", #20.
Extra security was requested of the Obama Administration, and it was denied, and then when the attack occurred, they sat and watched it take place. And now they're defending it.

The president is way above this Benghazi trivia. His underlings botched that. Obama is busy working hard for the American people, keeping us safe. He is creating millions of green jobs for the future out of thin air. He is saving the planet , moving us forward to a brighter tomorrow. You know, the same old BS lies.

DOVER — With a scandal at the Internal Revenue Service continuing to broaden, U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen faced fresh criticism Wednesday from her political opponents over letters she sent to a former IRS commissioner. Republicans are accusing Shaheen and other Senate Democrats of exerting pressure on the IRS to crack down on political groups seeking nonprofit status.

BELLE VERNON, Pa. - The owner of a small gun shop here sits on a wooden stool behind a glass-topped counter filled with handguns. The only thing folks talk about when they come into this store is what Washington will do next to attack gun owners, says the man, dressed in a crisp white shirt, dark blue pants and a ballcap from a local paint store.“The story that is not being told is how afraid folks really are,” he says, refusing to have his name published. He has lived through the turbulent '60s and '70s and served in Vietnam, he says, but none of that compares to the fear he sees

Consider it an opportunity overlooked. It´s surprising that Jose Pedro Simoes Ferreira´s name didn´t surface during John Kerry´s confirmation hearings for Secretary of State. Mr. Ferreira, 78, is the older brother of Mr. Kerry´s wife, Fox Chapel ketchup heiress Teresa Heinz. Ferreira also is a former Portuguese naval officer linked to leftist Portuguese politics and reportedly backed a 1974 coup against Portuguese Prime Minister Marcello Caetano. According to Allegheny County voter registration records, Ferreira lives in a four-bedroom, 3½ bathroom $628,000 home on Squaw Run Road in Fox Chapel on property adjacent to the sprawling 87-acre Heinz estate.

Just how badly did CNN's Candy Crowley destroy her first (and hopefully last) attempt as a presidential debate moderator? More than 65 million people saw that she is to debate moderation as CNN is to "news." Barack Obama made a fatal mistake when he lied, claiming he'd labeled the Libya attack as an act of terrorism. The look on Romney's face said it all: Mr. President, here comes checkmate.

Conservative critics have launched an attack on CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley, who moderated Tuesday's second presidential debate, after she corrected former Gov. Mitt Romney's claim that President Barack Obama did not refer to the consulate attack in Benghazi as an "act of terror." Obama said in the debate that on September 12, he called the attack in Libya that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, an "act of terror."

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.

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.”

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.

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

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?

U.S. Sen. John McCain bucked the party line coming from many of his fellow conservatives this morning, saying suggestions that compare the trio of scandals gripping the White House to Watergate are “overreaching.” “I think it’s overreaching. We need a full and complete investigation and then we will decide the dimensions of it,” said McCain while campaigning for Republican Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez in Dorchester. “It is terrible but we have to have a full investigation before we leap to conclusions.” The maverick’s caution is a sharp contrast to the response of many Republicans
