| Immediately after the murder of Chris Stevens, America's Ambassador to Libya, I suggested that the assault on the US consulate in Benghazi on September 11 could have profound consequences for President Barack Obama, particulary if he failed to take appropriate action against the murderers – the most likely candidates being members of al-Qaeda's new terror franchise in Mali.But with the US presidential contest entering its critical final phase, the Obama administration deftly avoided getting into any controversy over the murder of Mr Stevens and three other members of the consulate staff

Of course they did. The msm complied with their demands and spent an entire week attacking Romney for daring to notice the pathetic weak kneed response to the assault on our Cairo embassy.
Sickening but revealing for anyone who wants the truth.

The WH had help in covering up this tragic terrorist attack. The MSM. They are complicit in this by allowing the lies to continue without questions. Obama and Hillary are both to blame. He even made a speech to the UN still blaming that stupid video. Life obviously means nothing to Obama. The four Americans killed died in vain.

The answer is yes of course. I want to know if an autopsy was performed and did the Ambassador really die of smoke inhalation which the msm completely bought.

Do you mean we can expect to see another full front page headline which reads, OBAMA KNEW? The New York Post found it acceptable to print such a front page accusing W of misconduct in Iraq.

The cover up is continuing. Cant have anything to show our dimwit in chief look incompetent now can we? I remember from the first few hours the report that the ambassador's body was missing for 11 hours. Just think.. this was happening in real time.. they were aware while it was going on. And this is the best they could do was lie about a video tape. They arent even good liars anymore. Susan Rice is a scapegoat. They are hoping to run out the clock on this. and if Fast and Furious is any indication.. they probably will.

How sickening the sight, watching Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton lead a massive governmental cover-up of a deadly terrorist attack upon US soil.
Yes, this is the same Hillary Rodham who first entered the public spotlight when she eagerly participated on camera in the Democrats' histrionical condemnation of a different governmental cover-up, one remembered today as Watergate.
Oh, how the screw turns..

The Benghazi cover-up inevitably led to this profoundly anti-American and anti-free speech statement, perhaps the most scandalous thing ever uttered by an American leader (though Obama is not really a leader, nor American): "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam".

I am convinced that the reason they rushed to cover up is that they had specific knowledge well ahead of time the attack was coming. That is the real item they are trying to cover up.

Come on now, Hillary is tough. Standing by her four freshly filled coffins, she bravely proclaimed, "it's time to wipe away the tears and stiffen our spine". /s off. Our spine? Like this administration could use?
It's also interesting how the administration has this belief that US jet fighters can't fly four hundred and fifty miles, to buzz a site in time, which is under a six hour siege. If it was a car/Humvee doing 60mph, that might be true. Oh I get it, the jets are not on the list of green machines and can't be used! Besides a muslim might be harmed.

it just boggles my mind that we are not seeing anything about the survivors of this; no "People" magazine covers - or did I miss something?

Yes, is there a doubt?
Also,Susan Rice is not Condi Rice. It would have been appropriate for Secretary of State Condi Rice to make a comment if this had happened during the second term of Bush43; however, Susan Rice, the Ambassador to the UN, is not the person who should have been making a statement. Our Ambassadors to other countries do not work for the Amberican Ambassador to the UN!
If SOS Clinton could not make a statement, then her immediate Deputy would have been the one assigned the duty to comment. It's the old chain of command thing. Since the CIC doesn't understand "chain of command", I doubt if many of the incompetents he surrounds himself with have any idea either. That kind of thing is foreign to them - just like they treat all of America and her traditions. We are a foreign country to them and our CIC.

I'm outraged by the murder of Chris Stevens, but not half as outraged as I am by the murder of the Border Patrol Agent in Naco.
What do you want to bet that the Agent was murdered with one of the guns that Holder let "walk"?
And what do you want to bet that this Marxist administration will cover it up, just as they have the facts of the Chris Stevens murder?
It matters not whether it's murder in a hostile foreign country thousands of miles away, or murder on our own hostile borders, this nation is under siege, and 0b@$tard and his murderous minions have encouraged and fomented every murder.
He has to be stopped.

#12, just wait until, say, the first week-end in November???
This is true, #17. I like that, "Mr. Eye Candy."
#19, and for the entire 7 war years of GW's term there were anti-war demonstrations, and a nightly tally of our dear soldiers' deaths, with anchors' expressing feigned sadness.
It was feigned, because as soon as BO was inaugurated, no more protests, no more nightly tally. And the poor, pathetic Cindy Sheehan, her usefulness exhausted, has been cast aside like a rag.
And we know, #23, that we have many military assets in the region.
There is no explanation for what this regime is doing other than it's propounding a cover-up. With the complicity of the media, we find ourselves in a dangerous predicament, right on the edge of the totalitarian abyss.

Mitt has so many mal-feasance facts to recite that he does not have to answer a single word of the Imposter. Do a Jack Webb a Bill O'Reilly interrupt act (hate O'Reily's socialist ways), ignore what Ob says keep driving at Solyndra, Fast and Furious, dozens of appointed Communist czars preventing armed forces from voting, communnizing the doctor patient relationship bailout after bailout topped off by the current one that is ENDLESS, giving away phones, buying the Mexican vote, keeping the border open, suing the state that fights the alien invasion, tripling the debt luxurious vacations, no budget yet, non photogrpahed golf, and show a photo of his mansion and ask where did he get all his money? on and on, just continuous questions ignoring the communist moderator (there should be NO moderator in a debate, only a timing monitor). Mitt IS smart enough to be rapid fire and MUST STAY on the offensive, brutally on the offensive, not a moment on the defensive. Ignore their few pitiable questions and stick to the facts only in aggressive style. Leave no doubt !!

The consequences of sending a gay ambassador to a Muslim country without proper security were apparently lost on an organization whose corporate culture views such as normal. When the inevitable result of such a provocation bore its fruits (no pun intended), it has become clear other forces must be put forth as the cause to save the savior. No fault must ever...ever...be admitted beyond a failure to communicate effectively with voters sometimes.

these are the same groups that Thomas Jefferson wentafter in c.1803. At thattime the "Musselman" asthe muslims were calledthen were boarding and snatching US ships and enslaving the sailors. But the US forces, maybe Marines fought them off and let them know the US was not going to put up with it. I think the explanation for cover-up is even worse. Taht the Junta wanted anothe distraction. Anotherwayto control the newsday,and news cycle so no one would discuss obama's recorde.This kabuki has been going on each week since before summer. This one has been worth 20 days! The Obama regime knows the GOP won't do anything and the press will stall and cover for them, so what is the worry. If the regime loses, every one moves on and if it wins Partay time break out the vodka! Soviet USA has arrived.

If Obama told the truth,he would have to admit that his muslim friends, to which he supplied weapons, committed an act of war and murdered a U.S. diplomat. We should be landing specops people all over Libya right now, aiming guns and missiles from the sea and getting the fighter-bombers ready. A real leader would be doing that.
The ambassador suffered from smoke inhalation but was very much alive when the murderous scum dragged him from the building. The WH would love to sweep this one under the rug and give Clinton, Rice and Obama a do-over. Let's hope Romney starts the hue and cry tonight. We are now dealing with incompetence at the level that people are being killed and we knew it would come to that.

If you connect all the dots, only one conclusion is possible. The dots:
•When White House press secretary Jay Carney first announced the attack he immediately added that it was a spontaneous reaction to a YouTube video, AND NOT AN ATTACK AGAINST AMERICA OR AMERICAN POLICIES! The only reason for that comment was to try (with absolutely NO attempt at subtlety) to deflect attention away from the truth.
•They continued to push that story line until it became completely untenable.
•They sent Dr. Rice out, in spite of the fact that she has nothing to do with our foreign Ambassadors, because SOS Hillary (who still fosters presidential ambitions, despite the denials. Don’t forget the litany of denials leading up to her 2008 run.), knew the truth and refused to let herself or any of her minions get caught in such an obvious lie.
•The FBI is still waiting for permission to enter Benghazi and investigate.
I think #27 has the right idea. The Obama administration facilitated the attack (by ignoring warnings and sending Stevens to Benghazi on 9/11 with inadequate security), to create an arguable scenario for a “Wag-the-Dog” attack (aka: an “October Surprise”).

''could have profound consequences for President Barack Obama, particulary if he failed to take appropriate action against the murderers '' - article. The 0bama regime sees this as a PR problem which is why they will ''October surprise'' someone in Libya with some cruise missiles and other US weapons whether they actually find the terrorists or not.

Lets face it, Obama has absolutely no fear of straight reporting by the MSM so he can put any lie forward with impunity. During the Obama/McCain election the MSM completely abdicated their traditional role in vetting Obama's radical friends and background. Now, because of the MSM, Romney is playing against a "stacked deck". The MSM will either completely ignore Obama's missteps or will spin them in Obama's favor. Our Founders intended for the press to play a key role in seeing that the truth got out. This was important for America. Now the MSM is completely corrupt and our nation is in big trouble.

#42, I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks that Stevens would be considered "collateral damage" if Obama could get some payback at some SEALs to shut up the lot of them for the rest of the election. Me thinks he doesn't understand with whom he is dealing. We'll be lucky if he doesn't send SEAL Team 6 into an ambush or give them bad intel on their next mission, getting a few more of them killed.

By any observable metric, zombies are totally hot right now. Look at movies like "Warm Bodies" and the coming "World War Z," the ratings for AMC´s hit series "The Walking Dead" (12.9 million viewers for its recent season finale) and $2.5 billion in annual sales for zombie videogames. Over the past decade, between a third and a half of all zombie movies ever made have been released. A glance at Google GOOG -1.51%Trends reveals that in the past few years, interest in flesh-eating ghouls has far outstripped popular enthusiasm for vampires, wizards and hobbits.

J. David Kuo, an evangelical Christian conservative and former top official of President George W. Bush’s faith-based initiative who drew wide attention when he publicly accused the administration of failing to live up to the values it espoused, died April 5 in Charlotte. He was 44.He was diagnosed a decade ago with brain cancer, his wife, Kimberly, said. The arc of Mr. Kuo’s life and career had taken him from liberal to conservative, from hard-edged Republican activism in the 1990s to disillusionment with the idea that politics could serve as an extension of his faith.

This country is an embarrassment. We can’t do anything right, least of all corruption. Look, when Venezuela’s populist demagogue Hugo Chavez died, word was he’d somehow accumulated an estate worth $2 billion. In the old days when the PRI party ruled Mexico uninterruptedly, every president got a single six-year term — and promptly retired at its close as a billionaire.And that was when a billion was real money.

Like most of you, I yearn for shorter winters, more shirt-sleeve weather, less lashing from frigid winds. As a confirmed New Yorker, I’m not willing to do what millions have done: move to the sunbelt. I want warmer weather here in the Big City.But I’ve grown old waiting for the promised global warming. I was 35 when predictions of a looming ice age were supplanted by warmmongering. Now I’m 68, and there’s still no sign of warmer weather. It’s enough to make one doubt the “settled science” of the government-funded doom-sayers.

In a measure of solidarity with those affected by the budget-slashing government sequestration, President Obama is giving up 5 percent of his salary for rest of the year, which is almost as admirable and sensible as a mansion-owner shutting off his marble fountains during a drought.This is not to imply that the president shouldn´t demonstrate some unity with those who´ve been furloughed or lost work because of the blind slashing the sequestration prompted. People like Jeff Maryak, profiled by BuzzFeed, who is considering re-enlisting to make ends meet after a 27 percent pay cut.

WASHINGTON — A photo of the Obamas hugging that was released on Election Day 2012 has become the world´s most popular tweet on Twitter. A dressed-up version of Barack Obama´s State of the Union speech, packed with charts and graphs, is huge on YouTube. A playful picture of the president cavorting with a 3-year-old in a Spiderman costume is a favorite online. It´s all courtesy of the Obama image machine, serving up a stream of words, images and videos that invariably cast the president as commanding,compassionate and on the ball. In this world, Obama's family is always photogenic, first dog Bo is always well-behaved and the vegetables in the South Lawn kitchen garden always seem succulent.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- At 11:46 p.m. CT on Friday at Cowboys Stadium, a group of Florida fans rose from their seats and began a rather sobering chant. “Al-most mid-night!,” they yelled. “Al-most mid-night!” Standing on the nearby court, Florida Gulf Coast’s players could only hang their heads. The clock was about to strike 12 on one of the better Cinderella stories in NCAA tournament history. The first No. 15 seed ever to advance to the Sweet 16 finally came off its cloud in a 62-50 loss to Florida. “We made history,” guard Brett Comer said.

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Sen. John McCain says he doesn´t understand the threats from some of his Republican colleagues to filibuster a bill on background checks to buy guns. "I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ... If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Beyonce and Jay-Z celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in Cuba this week. The couple, who married on April 4, 2008, took in the sights of Old Havana, visited a school, dined on a rooftop terrace and strolled the fan-filled streets in their island best.(snip).The power couple declined to answer journalists´ questions about their visit to the island nation, but some outlets are reporting that the moguls are there as tourists, though that would be illegal because of the half-century embargo the U.S. has on the Communist country. However, the Miami Herald said Washington has issued special licenses for
