Security team pulled
out of Libya in August

American Thinker, by Rick Moran

Original Article

Posted By:SoCalGal, 10/7/2012 9:10:09 PM

The blundering boobs at the State Department recalled a 16-man security team in August just as the Libyan diplomats were asking for more security, not less. (Snip) Lt. Col. Wood has told CBS News and congressional investigators that his 16-member team and a six-member State Department elite force called a Mobile Security Deployment team left Libya in August, just one month before the Benghazi assault. Wood says that's despite the fact that US officials in Libya wanted security increased, not decreased. Wood says he met daily with Stevens and that security was a constant challenge. There were 13 threats

Comments:
For at least six months they were aware of the danger to our people in Benghazi.

State Department is part of the Executive Branch. Long ago there was a democrat president that said the buck stopped at the President's desk. It would be nice to have a real leader occupying the office of the President.

Unbelievable. This is simply monstrous. How can Lady Macbeth live with herself after this debacle. And why was it allowed to happen? Surely the State Department knew the attack was an ever-increasing possibility. Was there some sort of political angle to ignoring the warnings or simple, inexcusable incompetence?

I am sure the MSM will want answers...or not.

The next debate will be partially on foreign policy, but the third debate on Oct 22 will be exclusively on foreign policy. In the meantime we have some Congressional inquiry, and further facts will come in from many quarter about this entire 9/11 Libyan attack and administration aftermath. So in the third debate Gov Romney should have a ton of Benghazi data on which to nail Obama and his much touted but utterly faux strength in national security. The killing of bin Laden was a tactical victory for Obama, but Benghazi lays bare the strategic failure of Obama's apologetic and leading from behind policies. Romney must exploit these failures in that debate in a big way. Rhetorical questions by Romney may be the order of the day, e.g. Mr. President, knowing that X had happened, how could you conceivably...? And pull no punches...e.g. Who ordered Susan Rice to knowingly disinform the American people and why would she do this, sir???

Grab onto BenghaziGate, Gov Romney, and stay on it like a junk yard dog. The administration's weak, leaderless and irresponsible actions before, during and after 9/11 in Benghazi is a target rich environment for the debate, utterly indefensible on so many levels. And unlike many subjects this election, you don't have to be a wonk to understand it. So exploit it, Governor.

No, sixteen Green Berets could probably not fight off a couple of terrorists lobbing RPGs into fixed targets, unless they could call in a B-1 to flatten everything within two miles and that wasn't likely to happen, and even then it might happen just too late.

But one Green Beret with an iPhone could have told Stevens not to go there on 9/11.

Oh, oh, that Lt Col better stay out of that famous DC park. If he does, than he will be drummed out of the service and receive no retirement benefits whatsoever. How dare he tell the truth?

Pro golfers, golf writers, and TV commentators are up in arms that Tiger Woods was only given a 2-stroke penalty for his illegal drop on the 15th hole yesterday. Tiger said last night that he dropped his ball two yards behind his previous spot, clearly violating the rule that you must drop "as nearly as possible" to your original spot. Golf people are not happy about it. They say that the new rule is B.S. (or it´s at least being misinterpreted), and Tiger should DQ himself to save the integrity of the game.

Beautiful Rosa Parks sits alone in the Montgomery, Ala., city bus she desegregated, an image endlessly replicated, most recently on an American postage stamp issued in February to commemorate Black History Month and what would have been Parks’s 100th birthday.(Snip) President Obama voiced the familiar view that she was “just wanting to get home after a long day at work” and “may not have been planning to make history.” But as Jeanne Theoharis shows in her insightful biography, “The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks,” this perspective obscures Parks’s lifelong ­activism and “fierce determination.”

Leaders of the five BRICS nations plan to create a development bank in a direct challenge to the World Bank that they accuse of Western bias. The bank would use $50 billion of seed capital shared equally between Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa but would undoubtedly be dominated by China. It would be the first institution of the informal forum started in 2009 amid the economic meltdown to chart a new and more equitable world economic order.

SANFORD -- For the first time, we are hearing from the teenager believed to be the last person to talk to Trayvon Martin moments before his deadly confrontation with George Zimmerman. The teen, known only as "Witness 8," is considered to be the prosecution´s key witness, but Zimmerman´s attorneys said she lied during a deposition by the Martin family´s attorney, Benjamin Crump. A new motion filed Monday said the state knew Witness 8, said to be a girlfriend of Trayvon Martin´s from Miami, had been lying, but never came out with it.

SANFORD - Attorneys for George Zimmerman have filed a new defense witness list, and it includes more than 130 people.

It also includes Sanford City Manager Norton Bonaparte and several other members of Trayvon´s family, including his step-brother and the Oviedo cousin with whom he´d spent the night the evening before he was fatally shot. Attorneys seldom call all the witnesses they list, still the list placed in the official court file Monday is extraordinary

An unemployed illegal immigrant who has spent the last few years playing video games reportedly used records of his playing time to apply for and receive President Obama’s “deferred action” status. According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Jose Muñoz was an out-of-work 25-year-old Mexican immigrant who graduated with honors from his Sheboygan, Wisconsin high school in 2005. Since that time, Muñoz — who was brought to the United States at the age of one — has been out of school and out of work, instead spending time helping his family with household chores and countless hours playing sports

Yesterday, the most modest of gun control proposals died in the Senate. It would have expanded background checks to people purchasing weapons at gun shows and online sales, enjoyed 90 per cent support among the public and came on the back of the tragedy at Newtown. Yet, despite all that it had going for it, the Toomey-Manchin bill raised just 54 votes--six short of the number necessary for passage. “This is a pretty shameful day for Washington,” said Obama afterwards. It wasn’t exactly a red letter day for him, either. Why did the no-brainer bill fail? Four reasons:

We are still speculating about virtually everything right now, but I feel as though I need to explain why I find the quick and easy conversation about Muslims being radicalized in America to be so illogical and laced with bigotry. Of course, there is a global violent jihadist movement, loosely organized, that wants to recruit young men to influence policies at home and abroad and perhaps usher in the global caliphate. That ideology motivates some Muslims to kill innocent people.But you´re allowed to be a radical Muslim in America.

While the media are bearing the brunt of public skepticism over the handling of the Boston bombing, the behavior of government is also eroding public trust. Yesterday´s promised but cancelled news briefing is just one symptom. Andrew McCarthy of PJM notes that "Misinformation rather than enlightenment has been the order of the day in the investigation of Monday´s terrorist bombing of the Boston Marathon," and that part of it is the natural outgrowth of the desire of investigators to keep the details of their investigations secret, so as not to alert suspects.

Mark Kelly, the astronaut husband of former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, on Thursday upbraided senators who voted against gun legislation by saying they voted “out of fear.” ”If that vote had been a secret ballot, I bet you it would have passed with 80 votes,” Kelly told reporters. He was referencing the compromise authored by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) to expand background checks for gun buyers. It failed to advance in the Senate, with a vote Wednesday afternoon of 54 to 46.
