| Weeks before the presidential election, President Barack Obama’s administration faces mounting opposition from within the ranks of U.S. intelligence agencies over what career officers say is a “cover up” of intelligence information about terrorism in North Africa. Intelligence held back from senior officials and the public includes numerous classified reports revealing clear Iranian support for jihadists throughout the tumultuous North Africa and Middle East region, as well as notably widespread al Qaeda penetration into Egypt and Libya in the months before the deadly Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

We have been told that the FBI couldn't go to Lybia until they had 'protection.' .... I imagine that their 'protection' is provided by retired Special Ops groups .... those guys the left tried to castrate a few years ago, complaining they were paid too much.

Article in the Daily Mail says AQ is also responsible (per Russian intel) for many forest fires in Europe (esp. Spain and Portugal). Some terror magazine encouraged followers to do the same in the US. I repeat - ye gods.

Remember -- this coming debate will be the "town hall" forum....
obama will work the crowd to get his audience participation and applause he desperately needs to function....
ACORN and SOROS will send in SEIU thugs to trip up President Romney. He'll be fine -- IF he's ready for them.
Keep you friends close -- and your enemies closer...

Do you think that if obama were face to face with a terrorist that he'd take credit or do you think he'd point at a Seal and say finally 'it was them , not me who killed obl ' ?

The accusations about the origin of the forest fires in Europe (and perhaps planned in the States) remind that 'the Muslims bring the manners and the customs of the desert with them -- and turn the lands they inhabit into desert!. Look at North Africa which at one point was the 'bread basket of the Roman Empire'.

Kind of like the MSM all of a sudden discovering the empty chair after their boy got thwacked in the debate, the intell guys are in CYA mode over Islamist operations which have been going on for decades.

Racist headline!
Iran is safe as long as Valerie Jarrett has Barry by the testicles. They have been provoking the U.S. for a decade and getting away with every incident, every U.S. soldier they kill, every weapon they give to al Qaeda and their own terrorist groups. If they get a bomb working before zippy is dragged out of office, they will use it.
#15 is exactly right. Muslim kids aren't born hating the U.S. It's a careful program of education and indoctrination that has them ready to strap on a suicide vest by the age of 12, like zippy no doubt was, assuming he had the courage, which he doesn't.

Obama knows all about 'foreign policy.' In fact, he is one.
But allow me to give a specific example: Libya.
* In March of 2011, Obama "called in" a $1 billion strike on Libya * From Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he was on a South American vacation with his family (and, of course, his MIL) * In order to dethrone a dictator, Muammar Khadaffi, who posed no threat to the U.S. * But instead kept Libyan oil flowing to Europe * AND kept al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood in check * Khadaffi died. Hillary (and Huma?) rejoiced: "We came. We saw. He died." [Seriously diplomatic, non?] * And the rest, as the cliche goes, is history.
And our fellow Americans, Glen Doherty, Sean Smith, Chris Stevens, and Tyrone Woods were sacrificed to that shameful history.

I predict that Obama will have a “Wag the Dog” moment to avoid one or both of the scheduled debates. Sometime during the final 12 to 24 hours, “the US” will miraculously “discover” the whereabouts of the terrorists involved in the 9/11/2012 Benghazi attack and Obama will be retreat to the situation room to personally direct (yeah, right) and take credit for the operation (you know, his usual, “I did…”, “At my direction…”, “blah, blah, blah…” speech.) The MSM will tell us that this takes precedence over a mere “debate” and stress how important it is for everyone (Democrats and Republicans) to support our President during a time of war.
The presstitutes will attack anyone who questions the timing of the attack or mentions that the intelligence community had pinpointed the location of the terrorists weeks earlier. Never mind that before the end of September, we had learned that the intelligence community had identified and were tracking 1 or more of the attackers within 24 hours of the attack, and have since tied them to an al Qaeda stronghold in Mali.

Has anybody looked at the possibility that the YouTube trailer for ''Innocence of Islam'' was a ''False Flag'' operation? A False Flag operation is where country or group A creates a provocation and lays the blame on country or group B. A then uses this to foment hatred and violence against B. If A can get what Lenin called ''useful idiots'' to create the provocation, so much the better. It provides protective cover for the A masterminds. If B apologizes for the provocation, it validates A’s lies as being true.
The circumstances of this provocation are suspicious. The YouTube trailer was posted months before September. Somehow, the Arabic speaking world discovered this English language YouTube posting just in time for the anniversary of 9-11. It was only after the Islamic world started rioting that the English speaking world became aware of it. Also, the title ''Innocence of Islam'' is a strange title for something that is supposed to be anti-Islam. It seems designed to have people bypass it as boring.
The ''Innocence of Islam'' trailer on YouTube was more dim-witted than derogatory. The Administration's denunciations of the trailer made it out to be far, far worse than it actually was. They only made matters worse by validating the most extreme ranting of the Mullahs.

The quasi-official ideology of the U.S. armed forces holds that generals are virtually interchangeable, that individual personalities don’t matter much, that ordinary grunts are in any case more important than their leaders, and that what really counts are larger systems that make a complex bureaucracy function. There is some truth to all of this. But for all of the bureaucratic heft of the services and the heroism of ordinary soldiers, it is hard to imagine the Civil War having been won without Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan—or World War II without Marshall, Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Arnold, LeMay, Nimitz, Halsey,

The Supreme Court could soon end one of the federal government´s most archaic practices. Since the 1930s, the Agriculture Department has turned California raisin growers into pawns of its Raisin Administrative Committee, which can commandeer up to half of the farmer´s crop and then pay them little or nothing for the product. Marvin Horne, a 67-year-old raisin farmer in Fresno, Calif., was fined almost $700,000 for refusing to surrender control of much of his harvest to the government committee in 2002.

His name is an iconic Democratic brand, he’s forceful on the stump and a prodigious fund-raiser. Besides, somebody has to win the nomination. Of course, there are hurdles. Saint Hillary is gearing up to run, and there will be a scrum among contenders, probably including Vice President Joe Biden, competing just to be Clinton’s top rival.

Washington have? In today´s Army, a one-star general is a brigadier; two stars is a major general; three stars is a lieutenant general; four stars is just plain general.

Since the Shermans of General Patton´s Third Army crossed the Rhine on March 22, 1945, there have been American tanks in Germany. No more, as John Vandiver of Stars and Stripes reports. The U.S. Army’s 69-year history of basing main battle tanks on German soil quietly ended last month when 22 Abrams tanks, a main feature of armored combat units throughout the Cold War, embarked for the U.S. The departure of the last M-1 Abrams tanks coincides with the inactivation of two of the Army’s Germany-based heavy brigades.

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?

To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race.

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
