| The truth about what happened in Benghazi–and when President Obama knew i –could have a huge impact on the closing days of this campaign. Turns out the White House, the State Department and the FBI were all told two hours after the September 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi that an Islamic militant group had claimed responsibility. Two hours.(Snip)This is big. It suggests that the president had reports that very day that the attacks that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans weren't because of some film clip. And yet–we heard just the opposite.

Comments: Because Zero had just spent his entire convention touting how he got bin Laden, never mentioning it took him 9 months to pull the trigger. In this case, he watched the attack in real time for up to 9 hour, dithered, and then went beddy-bye...he never gave Panetta and the Chair of the JCS the order to employ US firepowere that was 15 minutes away...kinda screws with the narrative of him being a decisive leader...

Because it is not possible for him to tell the truth. He is neuro-psychologically incapable of truth telling.

The BS we are being fed after the fact shows that our government will lie to us.
The fact that Americans before the fact were left alone to die without our government helping them shows us our government will let us die.
Throw all these bums out... Obama, Panetta, Hillary...etc etc etc. They think more of the Muslim Brotherhood than they think of the American citizens.

Heard Rush discussing the possible timeline: 7 hour seige jug ears knew after the first 2 hours 2 Americans died in the 7th hour we had lots of USA assets 1 hour away
In other words, oblamer the evil thug let 2 Americans be murdered while he campaigned.

With Special Ops troops an hour away, he couldn’t bring himself to order them in. He went to bed and pulled the covers over his head. Those Americans died while Obama slept and help was nearby. That’s a fact.

The "narrative" has been that terrorism has been defeated. Fort Hood was workplace violence. The underwear bomber was a "one off." The killing of Ambassador Stevens could just not be admitted to be terrorism because the Administration had told us that terrorism was on the wane now that Osama bin Laden was dead. The Administration obviously thought that the American people were a bunch of blooming idiots who could be fed any kind of pablum from the White House. They were hoisted on their own petard because they thought the media would buy into the story line. The big three, CBS, NBC and ABC didn't investigate. It was only Fox and the Wall Street Journal who kept up the pressure for the truth. This will likely cause Obama the election and he will have no one to blame but his own incompetent staff and himself. Good riddance to them all.

Wow this from Cafferty. Cover up was his only course of action. The Libya excursion was a failure, he couldn't have that come out. al qaeda is stronger than ever, he couldn't admit that. He hadn't had a security briefing since Sept 5. There's a strong appearance of weapons transfers from Libya to Syria ala Iran-Contra, can't have that come out. Obama knew what happened as it happened and froze. He's a feckless coward.

The other dot that the Obamedia refuse to connect (when they report on this at all) is the requests for security made well in advance of this attack.

The short answer is that it would have interfered with his trip to Vegas. If the truth came out right away, he'd have had to stay in Washington & cancel his fund-raisers. So the solution was to blame it on a video (how *did* they come up with that excuse so quickly, I wonder?) and hope to cover the ensuing fallout by hosting and 'investigation' (who is leading it, by the way, and who is on the investigative team?) that would last until after the election. If anyone raised questions, pull out all the old excuses and attack the questioners.

Lest we forget, during the Congressional hearing, Issa pressed for the release of a video that was not in FBI custody, but was in the hands of another agency. I'll bet it is the time-stamped drone video caputuring this massacre, which was being streamed real time into WH & DoD situation rooms, State, CIA, etc. How much of it did Zero watch as it was being fed since we have reports Panetta and CH JCS saw it...if it is released before 11/06 the American people will be sickened and outraged! The drone and "other surveilance assets" were over head within an hour of the beginning of the attack so other "com" traffic exists in the first hour that must be horrific...

I have no idea.
The matter is so tangled and layered with lies about lies that it can't be sorted out in a sound byte or by partisan TV screaming-heads.
History suggests an Obama Instinct to lie first, then sort out what happened, then lie again And the LSM will cover for you no matter what.
After all instincts are important. A current example is Kick The Nurse, call your lawyer, and play the Kennedy Card again.

I think it goes to the reason why Obama can't call Islamic terrorism terrorism. It could be that Obama looks at the terrorist as Holy Muslim Warriors, thus doing the work of Allah. He still refuses, in spite of the overwhelming evidence, to call Ft Hood was terrorism but it is classed as work place violence. Think it has to do where his heart really is.

Don't forget the cyber security angle. He wants to be able to control the on/off switch for the internet, so if he could blame a video seen on the internet for the "riot", then he could claim an emergency and could turn off the internet.

Why did the president and his top lieutenants obfuscate and hem and haw for so long before telling us what really happened? Try politics.
Half credit for half an answer.
The complete answer? Self-serving politics that trumped national security and protecting Americans in harm's way.
OBAMA IGNORED A TERRORIST ATTACK IN PROGRESS AND DID NOTHING TO PREVENT THE DEATH OF AMERICANS. EPIC FAIL.

Actually, the question regarding every national issue throughout the past 4 years is, (-as Gov. Brewer, R-AZ., has asked regarding border protection!), ''why didn't 0bama just do his job?'' After all, he swore a Presidential oath.
...How could 0bama & Mrs. slick refuse the pleas for help from Benghazi, now exposed to be so reminiscent of slick's disasterous Mogadishu, Somalian, ''BlackHawk Down'' tragedy? What is the answer to that question?

#7 is correct.And to add to that, the meddling by mr hussein obama in egypt and libya was presented as liberating people who yearned for democracy - the arab spring. So when the attack on the consulate in benghazi took place, mr hussein obama and his co-consprators had to blame the attack on something. So an obscure youtube posting of a video was blamed. And, don't forget that in Audacity of Hope, mr hussein obama said that when the time comes, he would stand with the moslems.

So BHO the POTUS had a problem sending our military after a Muslim group who were killing American patriots. We all have to recall that he warned us that if the winds turned ugly he'd stand with the Muslims and this apparently is one of the things he actually meant. Besides 4 dead Americans can't mean a lot to Obama - just wait until Obama's death panels get going - it will make Benghazi look like nothing.

For the same reason these "snakes" have called the terror attack at Ft. Hood a "Domestic work place attack" and thus denying the victims full compensation; It's all about Øbama! They wanted to have a perfect record of NO terror attacks during his watch. Well, they happened and so the Øbama creature and his fellow creatures just re-labeled them, "Something else" anything but "terror attacks".! These Democrats are disgusting to the ultimate degree!

Because there is more, oh so much more to this terrorist attack. Something very deep and very sinister came from this administration. It will be revealed eventually, but perhaps not before the election. Unfortunate that the American people have not been told anything that resembles the truth about Benghazi.

Obama vetoed four times, four times, a bill that would allow doctors and nurses to provide medical care for infants that survived an abortion attempt. I can't imagine the hunger pains and the pains from the abortion attempt and the loneliness that child would feel, being denied food, warmth and medical attention he or she needed until it died from starvation and neglect. Cries that went unheeded because of a horrible man in power. Then Obama, on his watch, rejects the proper protection for our ambassador and his staff as they fought for their lives for hours and hours and nobody even attempted to come to their rescue. Then he denies knowing anything about it, claims that what he did know was not the truth and he was lied to by intelligence, then claims it was nothing, another one of his "bumps in the road".
This is the man and administration that is going to provide our health care??? Protect us from our enemies??? God have mercy!!!
And the people of this nation voted for him and will vote for him again???!!!
What the heck is wrong with America?
Pray for America, Pray for the American people, Pray for Obama and pray we get a president that respects God, life and liberty and upholds the Constitution.

Barry/Barack Obama/Soetoro (Dunham/Davis) didn't tell the truth about Benghazi because NOT telling the truth is in the fraud's genetics. Lying is second nature to him - his default condition.
I was thinking the same thing as #33 earlier today. If the death of these four men causes the administration to be investigated and exposed, and Obama and Hillary to be forever disgraced, they will have played a huge part in saving our country from communist would-be dictators.

Williamson, W.Va.- The man suspected of killing a West Virginia sheriff as he ate lunch in his car was mentally disturbed and had no particular vendetta with law enforcement, his father told The Associated Press on Thursday. Melvin Maynard said his 37-year-old son, Tennis Melvin Maynard, was exposed to harmful chemicals and injured while working at an Alabama coal mine. He most likely did not target Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum, he said. "He would have probably shot anybody, the first one he come to, you know what I´m saying?" the elder Maynard said.

The Dow Jones and Standard & Poor’s 500 indexes reached record highs on Thursday, having completely erased the losses since the stock market’s last peak, in 2007. But instead of cheering, we should be very afraid.

Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

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?”

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

Annette Funicello, the dark-haired darling of TV´s “The Mickey Mouse Club” in the 1950s who further cemented her status as a pop-culture icon in the ´60s by teaming with Frankie Avalon in a popular series of “beach” movies, died Monday. She was 70. Funicello, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1987 and became a spokeswoman for treatment of the chronic, often-debilitating disease of the central nervous system, died at Mercy Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield, Walt Disney Co. spokesman Howard Green said. Funicello and her husband, Glen Holt, had moved from

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

"Right now I´m grateful to live in a city, a state and a country where I strongly support my mayor, my governor, my president and my senators and my representative," said Clinton, whose father, Bill, was president from 1993-2001 and her mother, Hillary

More than 700 Special Operations veterans are urging members of Congress to back a select committee to investigate last year’s Benghazi terrorist attack, according to a letter first obtained by Fox News. The letter from the group, “Special Operations Speaks,” supports the appointment of a special committee tasked with the single mission of investigating the attack that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, and shut down the CIA operation in an annex of the Benghazi consulate, in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack. “Congress must show some leadership and provide answers to the public

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Amid all of the very real threats of war and stuff from North Korea, you´d think American intelligence officers want as much video footage of the enemy as possible. Well, here is one video featuring North Korean exercises and Kim Jong-Un holding a gun, and we´ll say this: they certainly get points for presentation. Remember the clap-happy report from Dennis Rodman´s diplomatic basketball vacation? This video comes courtesy of the same Youtube channel that gave us that Rodman video. It appears to be the same state news channel.(Snip for video)This latest dispatch from North Korea´s state television
