| This past weekend, Congressman Mike Rogers, who is chairman of the House intelligence committee, said that the talking points used to explain what happened in Benghazi, Libya on Sept. 11, 2012 were changed by political appointees in the Obama administration. Rogers pointed specifically to the deputies’ committee at the National Security Council. Now we have another version of how the talking points evolved: CBS News has learned that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) cut specific references to "al Qaeda" and "terrorism" from the unclassified talking points

Comments: Susan Rice is nothing more than a political hack like the rest of the regime. I found an extremely interesting bio on her. What is shocking is that when Sudan offered to turn bin Laden over to the US and that Rice was central in the decision not to accept the offer. She was also central to the failure of Rwanda during the Clinton administration. She might have impressive degrees but she´s a dangerous, incompetent woman.

Does this mean that Pres B.O. gave out classified information over the television when he gave the Rose Garden "speech" (referred to in debate) in which he called this an "act of terrorism"?

Oh Oh, OP used a code word - incompetent. We need Petraeus or someone from Command position to tell the unvarnished truth or this thing is going to get talked to death and buried.

So what? Nobody cares. They have their food stamps and their welfare checks. That´s all that matters.

The links to al Qaeda were too "tenuous"? Didn´t they jump on Facebook during the middle of the attack to take credit? They must have known the administration wouldn´t want to blow their cover, so they outed themselves.

The only players in this game that do not claim a terrorist attack seems to be Obama and his puppet spokespersons. The terrorists know and brag about it. Susan Rice can be equated with Sgt Schultz. The illustrious press secretary can be equated with any puppet. Obama ??? Depends on the time of day. Changes just as often.

You know, we think its funny how young girls are easily seduced by power? Sure...look at the supposedly "mature" Tom Donilon, or James Clapper, who is so bereft of "intelligence", when Diane Sawyer (!) asked him about the 2010 London bombings, his response was "London who? What is her name?" Man...I bet after every cabinet meeting, the chairs are as moist as after a Beatles concert.

Calling on all political cartoonists.... I picture a wall, with Obama holding a pail full of ´stories´ and flinging them against the wall ... to see which lie sticks. Shown laying on the floor is a headline about Susan Rice, another of Obama denouncing the evil video producer, one of Hillary´s try, another of the ´first´ Patreaus story, etc.

We all know about Obama and his ruthless, amoral gang but the more disturbing issue is the mindless, parasitic slugs that voted for them.

Agree with #6. Play the loop over and over of Obama stating to the Denver reporter "when I saw what was happening I issued three clear directives" which is an admission by him of a present knowledge of the attack in real time.
Nothing matters in this thing other than a detailed truthful account of what this sorry commander in chief was doing for 8 hours while these murders occurred. Every directive, every move he made.
The cover-up is res ipsa loquitur. The thing speaks for itself.

The Real Scandal
... is that no one is talking about why an American Consular mission had no elite armed security equal to the threat of being in a war torn Islamic pseudo-country where jihadists recruit.
Also, no one yet has asked where was the Libyan armed forces? and where were benghazi civilian police?
(crickets)
None of this who said what would be on the table if we had Marines with bullets in Benghazi.

What was known was " too tenuous to link to Al Queda ". Apparently enraged crowds planting black Islamist flags and the chants of " We are all Osama " wasn´t evidence enough for Obama and Company. But, there was enough evidence to blame a 14 minute You Tube spoof that no one had actually viewed. ..???? Riiiight. Occam´s Razor- How about it was Susan Rice herself who took out the truth and replaced it with fiction ? The Vice President can refer to the POTUS as a " Homeboy " , but , it´s now racist to call an incompetent an incompetent .

Bad news for you #6 - you will never have an answer to your questions. You might get 8-12 answers but nothing that will pass the smell test.
Get used to disappointment folks - the truth is what the manchild says it is. And the press will back it up.

Did Bonehead really refer toZero as homeboy? I am sick and tired of the PC double standard today. I recall seeing a photograph from a Martin Luther King rally in an article. Around the time of Black History month. Someone in the photograph was holding sign that read "Eliminate the Double Standard". That applies today as much as it did then; just not the way the Liberals want it. 3 words come to mind when I think of Zero, Bonehead, and Rice: Schlemiel, Schlamazel, and edited. Rice is a schlamzel, Bonehead is a schlemiel, and Zero is a edited. Apparently I cannot write that word that is fleshy appendage thrown out with the biohazard waste after a briz. Look´em up.

And the talking points taken to press by the Obama administration is nowhere near the seriousness of Obama´s betrayal of the four murdered Americans in Benghazi. That´s the real issue.

NEW YORK — The New York Police Department´s widespread spying programs directed at Muslims have undermined free worship by innocent people and should be declared unconstitutional, religious leaders and civil rights advocates said Tuesday after the filing of a federal lawsuit. "Our mosque should be an open, religious and spiritual sanctuary, but NYPD spying has turned it into a place of suspicion and censorship," Hamid Hassan Raza, an imam named as a plaintiff, told a rally outside police headquarters shortly after the suit was filed in federal court in Brooklyn.

While the controversy over the National Security Agency surveillance program has dominated the news recently, concern about the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of Tea Party groups and other conservative organizations remains high and is inching up. Despite the large number of controversies engulfing official Washington, the number of people following the IRS scandal has actually increased in recent weeks. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 82% of voters nationwide are now following the IRS targeting story, including 44% who are following the story

Mixed-race people are more likely to be considered black by conservatives, who are subconsciously attempting to “justify racial divisions,” said the authors of a new government-funded study. The report, originally released earlier this month, has begun attracting criticism from those who see political bias in the results. The study was conducted by graduate students and faculty in the psychology department of New York University. Researchers asked participants to look at pictures of mixed-race people and say whether they

The Clintons are getting the old band back together again for one last geriatric tour. Hillary 2016. Because 22 years of Clintons dominating the Beltway isn’t enough. Her campaign slogan: “Vote for me. I am a woman. What difference does it make?” The Draft Hillary movement is really taking off. There hasn’t been this much excitement behind a Draft Hillary movement since, well, the last time there was a Draft Hillary movement. Remember that? Back in 2008? When she was the “inevitable nominee?” She was the “most electable” Democrat running? She was the only one who

President Obama´s nonstop fundraising for congressional Democrats is building a huge campaign war chest for next fall, but there is little hope that his party will win back control of the House and make Rep. Nancy Pelosi speaker again, according to an exhaustive new analysis. But the report from the University of Virginia´s Center for Politics also shows that Obama may suffer the fewest losses of House seats for a second-term president since Ronald Reagan in 1986, itself a big victory. "While it would be foolish to rule out any outcome, there is no indication at this

Following a well-worn path to Germany´s Brandenburg Gate, President Obama plans to invoke America´s most important speakers at the Berlin landmark -- John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan -- as he seeks to revive his promise to curb climate change. "Any time a U.S. president speaks in Berlin it´s a powerful backdrop to our postwar history," said national security spokesman Ben Rhodes as the president arrived in Berlin Tuesday night. "This is a place U.S. presidents have gone to talk about the role of the free world, essentially, whether it´s President Reagan or President Kennedy,"

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:

Iran is preparing to send 4,000 troops in to Syria to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the wake of America´s announcement it will be providing ´military aid´ to the country´s Muslim rebels. President Barack Obama made the pledge earlier this week after the U.S. claimed it found ´conclusive evidence´ Assad´s regime has used chemical weapons against the rebel forces--which includes the most extreme Sunni Islamists--and has called for Britain and France to back the move. While Britain hasn´t made a guarantee either way as yet, more than 350 Royal Marines are being sent to Jordan

During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans
