| In the wake of the murder of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya on 9/11/12, the administration made up for its deceptive accounts of the incident with bloodthirsty avowals that the persons responsible would be hunted to the ends of the earth. Nearly four months later, those promises remain unfulfilled. That stark reality was brought home today by the news that the only known suspect who had been arrested in connection with the terror attack that took the life of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans is no longer in custody.

Do you think we will see the mother of the ambassador and the other parents in Moochelle´s box at the State of the Union address?

Mostof the attack was caught on drone video,so it´s hard to believe they can´t identify the culprits. Maybe th etruth is they don´t want to catch them because they were paid to raid the compound..By the US government. The whole muslim outrage over the video was timed to cover up this attack. they were way too quick blaming the video,so it had to be part of the plan.To me,this ambassador was murdered by his own country and who knows for what reason. Maybe he was going to be a whistleblower on the whole operation/.

This regime really resents the citizens trying to butt into things. The narrative has already been written and the people need to shut up and believe what they are told to believe. Why must we make it so hard for our dear reader ?

This is going to go the same way as Fast and Furious - into the trashbins of history never to be spoken of again. The government is far too inefficient, incompetent and corrupt to do a fair investigation and hold people accountable. There is no opposing Party willing to put their necks on the line and the fact is most Americans have moved on and no longer care. This, unfortunately, is the liberal society that we live in now.

We write our congressmen about Benghazi, no answer accept that they received my email (surprise, he´s a democrat). It´s so frustrating to even listen to the razzle dazzle they´re trying to put out, to see what will stick this time. It´s a simple question - who gave the order to "stand down". In two years from now, we still won´t have any answers except if Bill O´Reilly, Sean and those people start to insist on answers. Surely one of the 30 who was saved by the Seal will come out to thank the family of the Seal. As we all know if this were a republican in office, the press would be all over it.

If the families are asked they will be sittng next to Michelle O. Better do it or else. I think Spidey has it covered. Like at benghazi I bet there are crisp, clear satelite photos of Aurora Co and also Sandy Hook. Let´s see them. I looked up on Wikipedia about ambassadors and embassies. There were 70 located in Tripoli. So what did Benghazi have that merited the attention or at least a consulate and an Ambassador "dropping by"? I did find there was the National Front for the Liberation of Libya there. These were the "insurgents" that we and NATO armed against Kadaffi. So were we still in contact with them? Still with the Arms?

Don´t we all get the picture now? Every time this ambassador was attacked, starting in the spring and leading up to right before he was slaughtered, obama repeatedly stripped him of his security. The call to stand down, I have read, could only have come from the potus. The question is, why did obama want this man dead?

Obama´s determination to follow the killers to the ends of the earth are reminiscent of O.J.´s determination to find the "real killers." Spare me Mr. President.

James Holmes -- 2012 -- white --batman impersonator -- kills 12 wounds 58 in Aurora, Colorado -- facing trial starting this week
US Ambassador + 3 SEALS murdered in Benghazi -- 2012 -- the only suspect (muslim) released by Libya even after Pres Obama promised we (USA) would find the culprits and deal with them. State Dept says it is an FBI case and they won´t comment.
Rep Gifford (Dem) wounded -- Jan 2011 6 killed -- white guy -- already sentenced to life in prison.
Major Hasan -- 2009 -- muslim -- shouts allah akobar (?) -- kills 13 wounds 29 at Ft Hood -- if and when he comes to trial he can flout Army regulations by wearing facial hair -- still not on trial -- judge (hard core Army colonel) removed from case even though no bias proved.
White guys go to trial. Muzzie cases seem fade into the twilight+ Seems that there is a muslim in the wood pile.

3 hours after the start of the attack Biden and Obama left the oval office for one hour. They were both on the phone with Bibi Netanyaheu. Call to Bebe began at 6:30 PM and ended at 7:26 PM. At 7:28 PM Biden and OIbama are photographed returning to the oval office and being briefed by Deputy National Security Advisor McDonald. Who was in charge while they were gone? At 6:30 the Pentagon ordered a special operations team in Europe to move to Sicily. Who gave the order? At 7PM US Security team from Embassy Tripoli lands in Benghazi and trys to arrange transportation. Newt Gingrich has said an unnamed Seantor told him some one ordered the counter terrorism group to "stand down". Who gave that order and when? What did Obama do after he received the update from McDonough, if anything?

Let´s not pussyfoot around. Obama and his adm. is EVIL. David Limbaugh is right. Obama is the Great Destroyer! That comes from the bible: Jesus said the devil comes to kill, rob and DESTROY. That´s why Zero is cold blooded. He doesn´t care if people die as long as he stays in power. His father is the destroyer the Lord talked about.

Crisis manufacturing is the first and most underrated function of our increasingly violent government. Benghazi can never be exposed. Bilary must be protected. We´ll never know about Vince Foster, Ron Brown, JFK, Waco, MLK, RFK, John Lennon, Oklahoma´a Murrah building, so many school deaths. The question must be asked: how much of all this violence is staged? Look that the opportunities that follow all of these crises. Qui bono?, the timeless first question in all crime: "who benefits?" All the socialist schlepps have benefitted greatly with this last most frightening mass murder. They´ve all come out louder than ever before, relentlessly trading on the miserable, brutal act of school deaths, calling for Hitlerian confiscations. Is it even imaginable that any of these were possibly staged? Is this another Manchurian Candidate, of pre programmed violence where the supposed killer always dies immediately? Our New World Order demo socialist State is providing an unprecedented avalanche of crises. Fast and Furious, Benghazi, open borders, communist medicine, too many violent deaths beyond any good person´s belief system and set of moral values, but it just keeps happening, almost as if by design. All of it.

A few weeks ago, President Obama advised graduates at Ohio State University that they need not listen to voices warning about tyranny around the corner, because we have self-government in America. He argued that self-government is in and of itself an adequate safeguard against tyranny, because voters can be counted upon to elect democrats (lowercase “d”) not tyrants. His argument defies logic and 20th-century history. It reveals an ignorance of the tyranny of the majority, which believes it can write any law, regulate any behavior, alter any procedure and tax any event so long as it can get away with it.

In a recent column, Michael Gerson wrote about modern conservatism’s “two distinct architectural styles.” One approach within conservatism, he said, celebrates those who seek to apply abstract principles in their purest form. The alternative approach is more disposed toward compromise, incremental progress and taking into account shifting circumstances. What’s worth noting, I think, is that many of those in the first camp consider themselves to be more principled and authentically conservative than those in the second, who are often derided as RINOs and “squishes,” as part of the much-derided “establishment” and who go along to get along.

If there were an organized opposition to comprehensive immigration reform -- and there really isn´t, compared to the political/business/activist/lobbying complex in favor of it -- the opposition would pound daily on the key weakness at the heart of the Senate Gang of Eight bill. That weakness is simple. The bill proposes to legalize 11 million currently illegal immigrants before imposing greater border security and workplace enforcement. In that, the gang´s priorities are different from the American people´s. An opposition would remind the public of that, often. Many polls have shown that voters favor eventual legalization and a pathway to citizenship

President Obama called today for a renewed effort to close the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. But back in 2009, the White House dropped the ball on closing the controversial military prison by failing to come up with a plan in time, refusing to help House Democrats who were fighting for its closure, and then abandoning the plan altogether and blaming Republicans. In a speech at the National Defense University in Washington, Obama said his Jan. 21, 2009, executive order to close the prison was never implemented because House Republicans placed funding and legislative restrictions on moving

American tourists dining on a glacier in eastern Iceland found themselves floating away from shore on an iceberg earlier this week, an Icelandic newspaper reported. Four people were rescued from Fjallsárlón glacial lagoon. They had set up a table and chairs with plans for dinner when a gust of wind pushed the ice from the land. They were stranded about 30 feet from shore. One of the diners managed to jump to shore before the ice drifted too far and call for help. The tourists have not been identified, but a photo captured three of the diners

Walter Russell Mead outlines two possible futures for middle-class Americans: one where most of us lose “the race against the machine,”the other where smart government policies enable an eventual successful transition to an economy where IT and robots do a shockingly large percentage of the jobs humans do today — but the carbon-based life forms still have plenty of meaningful work to do. Mead calls that first scenario, “Bladerunner with food stamps.” Mead: It’s likely that an information age welfare state would consist of two components: straight out welfare and “social inclusion” payments for some,

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

On Wednesday, Drummer Lee Rigby of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, a man who had served Queen and country honorably in the hell of Helmand Province in Afghanistan, emerged from his barracks on Wellington Street, named after the Duke thereof, in southeast London. Minutes later, he was hacked to death in broad daylight and in full view of onlookers by two men with machetes who crowed "Allahu Akbar!" as they dumped his carcass in the middle of the street like so much roadkill. As grotesque as this act of savagery was, the aftermath was even more unsettling

MARK LEVIN: So why didn´t Chairman Issa hold an investigative hearing a year ago? Why didn´t Chairman Camp, all Republicans, hold an investigative hearing a year ago, and all the other tripping over themselves right now? I´ll tell you why. Because the establishment Republicans, the RINO Republicans, despise the Tea Party. They despise the conservative movement. We exist to be managed, to be shuttled to the polling place, to vote for their candidates. The Karl Roves of the world, and all the rest of them. They fight us in the primaries, they fight us at the grassroots.

Fox News chief Roger Ailes has sent a memo to his subordinates at the leading cable news network. He sent this memo to his staff today in connection with the federal investigation into an alleged leak to Fox News reporter James Rosen, a story that the Washington Post’s Ann E. Marimow broke earlier this week. The memo’s a masterpiece, too. For all those who wonder what it is about Ailes that endears his people to him — and that makes him such a good interviewee for any media reporter lucky enough to get an audience

WASHINGTON —In a dramatic departure from existing White House procedures, President Obama requested today that his staff start cc’ing him on stuff. “Look, I know a lot of you think I’m really busy and you don’t want to bother me,” the President reportedly told his staff in an Oval Office meeting. “But cc me anyway. It’s good for me to keep up on what’s going on around here.” “It’s not good when I turn on the news and they’re talking about something at the White House and I’m like, whoa, when did that happen?”
