| The burning question is why Obama didn't give orders to defend our consulate and American lives in Benghazi. The answer is becoming clearer each time President Obama and Secretary of Defense Panetta issue a denial or explanation of their inaction. To the president's surprise, he chanced on an honest reporter during a local interview on the campaign trail in Denver. On October 26, for the first time, Obama was asked directly about the explosive reports on CBS and Fox News, a week earlier

Must read. The truth is dripping out so so slowly indicative of the coverup all around.
Question?
Can we try a former pResident for Dereliction of Duty, Treason, or other such crimes after the election?
Accountability should be understood by the DemonRats even when not in office.

The backup squad was sent to the CIA 'Annex' from Tripoli. While manning the CIA 'Annex' they were ordered three times not to go to the Consulate. It was more important to protect the 'Annex', than to try to save lives at the Annex. So, what was so important at the CIA 'Annex?'
Gun running to terrorists, including Al Qaeda. Fast & Furious 2.0 on a very big scale.

By Panetta's logic, a lifeguard would only save a drowning man after learning the details of how the man first entered the water.

Obama and Hillary have blood on their hands and should be held accountable. There has been no scandal or coverup comparable to this in all American history. It should not be allowed to go away.

My heart has been torn to shreds by this total betrayal of our brave and faithful soldiers. I may not like Obama, but he is my president, and he is the head of my country, and I take it so personally that he let our soldiers down. It is like we all did, and I keep seeing them in the fire, and under fire, and what they must have been feeling knowing, finally, that no one was coming. Oh my God in heaven, please bring the full truth to the forefront and bring justice to all who betrayed these men.

Just thinking aloud here but:
Americans tend to rally round a president who is defending us or fighting for us. If the Ambassador had been taken alive and he staged an operation to rescue him, would it have made a difference in the election? The polls? Why tell our people to stand down? Why (so obviously) put an ambassador in harm's way? Why refuse to defend him with even the meager forces that could be rallied on short notice? It's almost as if he was allowing the Ambassador to be taken.
And that would have set him up to be the hero.
Just thinking... This would have been a helluva a fourth quarter news story.

Obama knew all along way before this fatal day what was going on and made the decision - for political gain - not to intervene. it was more of a group think in the Whitehouse to use this rapidly developing "bad" situation as a means to their ends - Obama's re-election. Nothing more complicated than that.

Curious whether Barry (or Clinton)gave the silent nod to his companions in the Muslim Brotherhood to go ahead and TAKE the Consulate, but "just don't kill anybody in the process. Our media will do the rest for ya." The video was already determined to be the instigator ahead of time, right? No marine detachment was on site, 9/11 anniversary, and Stephens wasn't supposed to be there anyway. If kept quiet, the American public never finds out the truth. Appears like an innocently excuseable uprising caused by a YouTube film. (Spare me!) Sounds like a workable deal that, unfortunately for Barry, has gone bad. Our own Prez-o-dent was giving away the store and events went awry. Why else stand down the defense of the place? Brave souls fought back to defend the Consulate as 30 American lives were jeopardized. Again, just curious until we know more.

Great piece, but Karin McQuillan misses the point I see. The Benghazi "consulate" was not a consulate. It was a clandestine CIA outpost running guns and weapons to Syrian rebels (co-opted by Al Quaeda). It used the idea of a "consulate" as it's cover. It wasn't defended because defending it would have blown it's cover, and forced the LSM to actually do it's job of reporting on it fairly. It would have blown the lid off the whole operation, exposing Obama's feckless foreign policy as incompetent and failed.
And also exposing Obama as the liar he is, right before election day.

My take
Obama was taking Libyan weapons and supplying Al Quaeda in Syria through the CIA, the Ambassador was not in the loop on this deal. However, he did get wind of weapons transfers and was hot on the trail of this fiascal...He had to be silenced.

Socialism views people as a "mass." In a socialist state, "truth" is whatever benefits the state. Most Americans view people as individuals and a persons word as "true " or "false." Given that Obama is a Socialist, and not an American Socialist, but a Socialist with a world view, his actions are perfectly understandable. Ambassador Stevens, Ty Woods, and the other Americans who lost their lives - viewed through the prisim of socialist realthink, are only statistics.

In one of his more well-publicized gaffes, Vice President Biden said of John McCain: "Look, John´s last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs." Actually, of course, it´s a four-letter word, and it was his job and the president´s to create a climate for job expansion, and they failed. The evidence is now overwhelming: they have created the worst employment climate in decades.

When your article inspires a big-city mayor to refer your case to a "human-relations commission," you know you´ve hit a nerve. And when that article is the recent "Being White in Philly" piece by liberal Robert Huber, you know it doesn´t take much truth to hit that nerve. That´s the scary part. Huber´s article contains mostly tepid examples of whites´ negative experiences with blacks and primarily black neighborhoods, such as a Philadelphia resident whose grill was stolen from her backyard but "blames herself" for not fencing it in. Its tone is basically apologetic, absolving a drug dealer of responsibility

That´s something to remember when you arrive there next week. Israel has a government, elected by its people in a free, fair, open and democratic election. Multiple parties representing widely divergent points of view met a wildly diverse electorate through free media and open debate. This is no stultified two-party affair with a libertarian insurgency. Israel will be the only country you visit in the region, this time or any other, that has a fully democratic system. Do not be swayed by the "apartheid" slander. Citizens of Israel are Jews, Moslems, Christians, and Druze, each with religious and non-religious elements.

Prodded by a president with a weakness for racial agitation and enabled by a politically complicit media, the State of Florida persists in a prosecution that can come to no good end. The defendant is neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman. The charge is the second-degree murder. The potential outcomes range from major injustice, if Zimmerman is convicted, to mayhem in the streets, if he´s acquitted. And the state plods on as though the angels were on its side. They are not. The witnesses to the February 2012 shooting of 17 year-old Trayvon Martin are proving even more troublesome

The political world changed its orbit Wednesday as Rand Paul seized the spotlight in his March 6 filibuster. Rand Paul -- not this author´s favorite before -- is probably now the 2016 front-runner for president. But the difference results from fundamental changes in substance. How can one day be that big of a deal? Because Rand Paul demonstrated a reproducible, winning formula. It was as if Ronald Reagan were granted just one day to come back to Earth to remind the Party of Lincoln of "how it´s done." Rand demonstrated a repeatable formula that all Republicans can copy.

Sixty-three months ago Barack Obama officially declared his candidacy for President. Only now are some among the so-called media and ruling elites in America slowly awakening from their self-induced infatuation and beginning to understand who he is. It has become difficult to ignore the overt intimidation, demagoguery and deliberate falsehoods spewed forth by Obama relative to sequestration -- a miniscule cut in the growth of federal spending. However, any cursory examination of his past reveals that these tactics are second nature to the man who currently occupies the Oval Office.

Years ago, when I used to play poker with some guys, I played a hand in which across the table from me was someone who looked as though he had a straight flush. He kept pumping up the bidding and everyone folded but me. When we finally showed our hands he had nothing. "You don´t know what you´re doing," he yelled. "Any good player would have folded! Why did you stay in?" he shouted angrily. "Because you curled your lip and reacted furiously when I stayed in. Someone with a winning hand would never do that."

By law, on Friday the executive must begin to cut $85 billion from federal spending. Though, as is his wont, the president is blaming the Republicans for what he claims is a draconian measure. No less a Washington chronicler of events than Bob Woodward of the Washington Post considers that a gross distortion of the truth [T]he automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of [Treasury Secretary nominee Jack] Lew and White House congressional relations chief Rob Nabors -- probably the foremost experts on budget issues in the senior ranks of the federal government.

Too little serious conservative analysis of the 2012 presidential campaign has yet appeared. This is understandable. The results of the election were disheartening to the point of shock. The campaign defied all historical precedent, all commonsense interpretation. The Romney ticket should not have lost and did not deserve to lose. The Democrats, fielding the least worthy ticket in the past century -- and that´s saying something -- did not deserve to win. The reasons they did are myriad and complex. But before we get too far down the road, there is one lesson that has to be grasped:

No, I´m not talking about Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael (God rest Michael´s tortured soul). I´m talking about the Chicago Jacksons, Jesse Sr. and Jesse Jr. The Jackson 5 in their heyday gave plenty: music, entertainment, and joy to their fans. The Chicago Jacksons are another story. Jesse Sr. (The Right Reverend) and his son (the erstwhile congressman) have done a lot more taking than giving. "Taking" may be too charitable a word. Shaking down and wheedling may be better descriptors for the Chicago Jacksons´ acts.

By now you likely have heard that Chris Rock considers Barack Obama America´s father. If that is true, then would somebody call Child Protective Services and find us foster parents! For Chris Rock, America´s true Founding Fathers were disappointingly white. I suspect that whatever the color of America´s Founding Fathers might have been, they would not have approved of having a failure like Obama among their esteemed membership. Thought the Founding Fathers had many flaws, they were smart enough to eliminate the self-indulgent institution of slavery from America´s future.

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.

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?”

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

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
