Further Reflections on Benghazi
American Spectator, by Andrew B. Wilson

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 2/18/2013 6:13:54 AM

Write in haste, repent at leisure. The article that appeared in this weekend’s TAS under the title “Obama Fiddled While Benghazi burned… and an election approached” was one that I wrote racing against a deadline. While there is nothing I want to take back from this weekend’s article, there are many things I’d like to add… for the sake of readers who believe, as I do, that this story — this shameful but instructive story of dereliction of duty in the highest office of the land — should not be allowed to fade into the dimly remembered past

I don´t know if I believe that Obama simply vanished during the night of the attack. But it´s better to have people to think that than the possibility that he actually gave the order to stand down. He can´t possibly have told Panatta to do what you must,then walk away.That´s dereliction,even for Obama.

Whether the dereliction was deliberate or substance-induced, it blew into a crisis that Axelgrease spun masterfully, aided and abetted by Hilary Clinton, Susan Rice, Candy Crowley, and, no doubt behind the scenes, the Iranian ValJar.

There has been so much more to this story that we haven´t heard that I find it amazing, but not shocking that the American Pravda media hasn´t had the least bit curiosity in following up on, and perusing it.

I highly recommend this article.

Why has Charles Woods, father of Tyrone, totally dropped out of sight? He was very vocal at the beginning, but somehow he has been shushed.

FTA: "Those who have retained the ability to think straight and act with courage need to wrest control of past from the present-day masterminds who, if given the chance, will destroy everything. "

This statement is very powerful. Read it, again and again. This is inclusive of both sides of the aisle in Congress.
This brings to the forefront the pandering to the camera for McCain and Graham during the Hagel hearing and now their Limp statements of why they will vote for him.

The libs would say, "time to move on", just like the Trinity church execution style murders. It´s all just bumps in the road to the downfall of the US. Dead counts mean nothing to communists: If anything it´s like the swastikas and rising suns on WWII fighter aircraft, signifying kills.

I´ve had a little trouble with the scenario that Obama was smuggling weapons to Syrian opposition forces. I honestly believe Obama is rooting for the other side. The Muslim Brotherhood has formed a truce with Iran and I believe Obama is a true believer. Now, if Brennan was running the show that might make a difference.

#11...Brennan is also a Muslim... Turned in Saudi...

Read it again...send the summation to your Senators, your Congressman....Perhaps if flooded with this truth, they´ll wake up to the fact that they to are the destroyers of this nation...

Obama was running a secret war in the ME, off the books and out of the chain of command, thus unconstitutional and illegal. For details read the book, Benghazi: The definitive report, by Brandon Webb and Jack Murphy. The man in charge was John Brennan. The Benghazi crisis threatened to expose this illicit war, and it became imperative to put all possible distance between it and Obama, even if that meant making him look unpresidential. (Clinton did the same.) The Brandon-Murphy book is available in Kindle version for $2.99.

So glad to see this is a Must Read. Be sure to click on the link to the mentioned cartoon:

~~Chip Bok, the cartoonist who illustrated my weekend article, did another superb cartoon contrasting how the mainstream media cheered Cindy Sheehan (who lost a son in Iraq and became a national hero for camping out on George W. Bush’s doorstep) and ignored Charles Woods. This was history in the making and, I fear, a nation in the unmaking.~~

Yes, read the book...

A heartening thought... after an early morning trip to John Wayne, stopped by Inspiration Point in [v liberal] Corona Del Mar to pray, and driving back home on Ocean Blvd in front of a $5MM home was a surfboard with Benghazi written down it...

#19, the "us" is the Conservative voter who has allowed the "bottom line mentality" of Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck and O´Reilly to crowd out the search for facts AND the ability to recognize them.

Embracing the crazy side of the party COST US THE ELECTION.. We (Conservatives) cannot govern if we are shut out from state and federal positions because of being seen as (and often are) out of touch with reality.

If we don´t reel in the far-right, 2014 will see us lose the House too. And if Rand Paul runs in 2016, we can kiss the White House good-by.

If we can´t win, we can´t govern.

I wouldn´t put it past the metro-gay denizens of Barky´s bathhouses to fully embrace sharia as a way to re-gain cultural control and wrest it from the hands of the dominant "alternate lifestyle" females in charge at the moment.

The Islamic treatment of women is really the 800 pound gorilla in the West Wing.

And it should be on the networks every night.

No excuse in the world would be good enough to absolve Obama of his responsibility in this matter. Totally unforgivable! What cowards these people are - Obama, Hillary just to name two - for being afraid to tell us the truth. We deserve the truth.

My thanks to those who are continuing to keep this story alive and front-center. The men who died that day deserve nothing less.

Despite the WaPost, Benghazi
Is a Major Scandal
American Spectator, by Quin Hillyer    Original Article
Posted By: StormCnter- 5/21/2013 6:16:56 AM     Post Reply
There’s a huge red flag in the Benghazi mess, but conservatives are letting the media get away with using a red herring to avoid it. Give the establishment media credit for obstinacy: Once it settles on a standard narrative or explanation for a particular subject, it shows remarkable discipline in explaining away any evidence that contradicts its own approved spin. So it has been with the media’s 250-day old determination to downplay the scandalous nature of the Obama administration’s treatment of its outpost in Benghazi before, during, and after the terrorist attack there that took four American lives.

Lawmakers across the country are tussling over the Obama administration´s plans to create a small army of assistants to guide millions of Americans as they sign up for new health-insurance options available this fall. Backers of the health-care overhaul face an uphill battle to spread the word about the law, in the face of consumer research that suggests most uninsured people know little about it and are skeptical about the value of health insurance generally. Some Democrats have openly worried that the administration is doing too little to make sure the enrollment process goes smoothly. That is where the "patient navigators"

Labor unions are breaking with President Obama on ObamaCare. Months after the president’s reelection, a variety of unions are publicly balking at how the administration plans to implement the landmark law. They warn that unless there are changes, the results could be catastrophic. The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) — a 1.3 million-member labor group that twice endorsed Obama for president — is very worried about how the reform law will affect its members’ healthcare plans. Last month, the president of the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers released a statement calling “for repeal

Since Hillary Clinton last came up to Capitol Hill, we’ve learned senior State Department officials sought to scrub references to terrorism from the infamous Benghazi talking points to insulate Foggy Bottom from political criticism — citing concerns of their “building’s leadership” to justify the demands. The rising temperature of the scandal means it’s possible that Hillary could be asked to return and testify again. If she comes back, she had better be prepared, says House Oversight and Government Reform chairman Darrell Issa. “We are interviewing lots of people, most of them under oath,” Issa says, describing the “methodical” approach his committee

We hear a lot, these days, about how President Obama is not like Lyndon Johnson and thanks be to heaven for that small mercy. The point seems to be that the president doesn´t know how to arm twist, sweet talk, bribe, and emasculate both friend and enemy (of which he truly had neither) in order to further his agenda. Since many among the chattering class believe, still, in that agenda, his is generally regarded as an excellent presidency. Never mind that more than half a century after Johnson declared war on poverty ...

First they came for Fox News, and they did not speak out – because they were not Fox News.

Then they came for the maker of a You Tube video, and – okay, we know how this story ends. But how did we get here?Turns out, it’s a fairly swift sojourn from a president pushing to “delegitimize” a news organization, to threatening criminal prosecution for journalistic activity by a Fox News reporter, James Rosen,

Ex-Diplomats Report New Benghazi
Whistleblowers with Info
Devastating to Clinton and Obama

More whistleblowers will emerge shortly in the escalating Benghazi scandal, according to two former U.S. diplomats who spoke with PJ Media Monday afternoon. These whistleblowers, colleagues of the former diplomats, are currently securing legal counsel because they work in areas not fully protected by the Whistleblower law. According to the diplomats, what these whistleblowers will say will be at least as explosive as what we have already learned about the scandal, including details about what really transpired in Benghazi that are potentially devastating to both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

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
