When We Deceive . . .

| So far the administration has attributed its lapses to the “fog of war” and suggestions that only the Tripoli embassy not the Benghazi consulate was deemed vulnerable. Now, from a recent cable, we know that the latter was untrue, and that the only fog of war consisted in a handful of administration spokespeople frantically trying to get their stories straight. (Snip)Then, in the middle of a video-filmed assault, why were they frozen into inaction as Americans fought to the death, Alamo style?

Comments:
Hanson's comparison of the horribly outnumbered and outgunned Americans' doomed battle to the Alamo brought tears to this Texan's eyes. How apt.

Angry mob threatens consulate ... American lives at risk ... President alerted ... Uses negotiating skills and friendly Muslim connections to defuse situation ... American voters happy ... blames and arrests UTube maker ... Arabs happy ... Obama re-elected!
Review the live news coverage to fill in between the lines. The pace and unfolding of the coverup attempt also fits the pattern.
And, short of your being able to deploy federal investigators and impanel a grand jury ... come up with a better explanation.

FTA: The secretary of state is in a bind. Susan Rice was groomed to replace her, as she prepared to successfully bow out after the reelection of Barack Obama, ostensibly to ready herself for Clinton 3.0. Now she dares not leave, given that in her absence her directorship at State will be scapegoated by the administration and the Obama-fed media. So she stays, as Susan Rice recedes into the background after being used — and subsequently humiliated — in advancing a scripted administration falsehood about the video.
Has ANYONE seen or heard of Rice recently???
VDH is one of the BEST!!

As in 1972 and Watergate, this will go beyond the election. Too many are outraged in the military. If Obama is re-elected, heaven forbid, he is not likely to withstand impeachment.

The comparison of these souls to the ones who fought at the Alamo is spot-on. The major difference being, of course, that Sam Houston would have gotten help to the folks at the Alamo if he could have. :sigh:

The Benghazi story is as good as dead because the whole MSM is now touting the Obama admin new narrative of lies.Last minute attempt to bury this story right before the election. Job numbers out today will probably be more shocking lies.

The deception on Benghazi is a crude Obama ruse, whch is to hide behind the "bumps" to divert focus away from Obama's failed and illegal war in Libya. Obama is truly the One who ignored Congress and the War Powers Act to go to war in Libya. In his typical arrogant and ignorant fashion, he informed Congressional leaders of his decision to wage war just hours before departing on a taxpayer vacation in Rio with the Mooch, her mother and the kids. Overthrowing Qadaffi led to al-Qaeda, which meant lax security to downplay the risks which meant an easy assault on our consulate. So, blame the video, lie and stonewall in order to avoid being responsible for the new al-Qaeda stronghold that Obama helped create.

A Texas woman, the wife of a local justice of the peace, has confessed to being involved in a high-profile series of shootings in Kaufman County—shootings that were initially linked to members of the Aryan Brotherhood. Kim Williams, 46, confessed to Texas police about the role she and her husband allegedly played in the murder of local district attorney Mike McLelland, his wife Cynthia, and another prosecutor, Mike Hasse.(Snip)No concrete links to the Aryan Brotherhood were ever established. And in fact Kim Williams’s husband Eric, also 46, emerged as a prime suspect in the murders just hours

A couple of months ago, when I was reporting a feature on Mark Sanford’s political comeback and the ongoing soap opera between him and his ex-wife Jenny, one of his associates told me: “Clearly Jenny has the ability to determine whether Mark wins or loses this race.” It now seems clear that she’s chosen the latter. Jenny insists that she did not leak to the Associated Press the court filings that revealed that Mark had trespassed at her home in early February. “Those documents the AP has are legit,” she told The Wall Street Journal.

On March 28, a senior at Detroit´s Northwestern High School enthusiastically introduced Dr. Ben Carson to speak on "Humble Beginnings" — how Carson escaped the mean streets of Detroit to gain international prominence as a Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon. On April 11, Carson returned to northwest Detroit to give a talk at the Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church. In his remarks, Carson lamented that Detroit gun violence had claimed another victim: the very Northwestern student who had introduced him just two weeks before.

CORINTH, Miss. -- A Mississippi man accused of mailing letters with suspected ricin to national leaders believed he had uncovered a conspiracy to sell human body parts on the black market and sometimes performed as an Elvis Presley impersonator. Authorities were waiting for definitive tests on intercepted letters that were addressed to President Barack Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss. Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, was arrested Wednesday at his home in Corinth, near the Tennessee state line about 50 miles north of Presley´s birthplace in Tupelo.

WEST, Texas -- A massive explosion at a fertilizer plant near Waco on Wednesday injured dozens of people and killed an unknown number of others, leaving the factory a smoldering ruin and leveling buildings for blocks in every direction. The explosion at West Fertilizer in downtown West, a community about 20 miles north of Waco, happened around 7 p.m. and could be heard as far away as Waxahachie, 45 miles to the north. It sent flames shooting high into the night sky and rained burning embers, shrapnel and debris down on shocked and frightened residents.

I did indeed watch the second half of the Super Bowl at the beach house with our 14-year-old son because as a father I didn’t think he should watch it alone,” the former governor said in a statement today. “Given she was out of town I tried to reach her beforehand to tell her of the situation

Within a day of the Oklahoma City bombing, officials had named their suspect: Timothy McVeigh. Within two days of the 9/11 attacks, investigators had zeroed in on al Qaeda as the perpetrator. But as loved ones mourn the deaths of three people and dozens remain hospitalized from dual bombings at the Boston Marathon, two questions continue to hound authorities: Who triggered the attack, and why? Even for seasoned investigators, the theories run the gamut on whether Monday´s attack was an act of domestic or foreign terrorism.

The reluctance of journalists to cover the crimes of abortionist Kermit Gosnell predates his trial. His indictment in January 2011 received minor and evasive coverage, as it inconveniently coincided with the Roe v. Wade anniversary. Pro-abortion journalists didn’t want the grand jury’s horror at seven acts of infanticide and the killing of one woman to spoil their nostalgic ruminations over the glorious emergence of abortion rights. After all, they had promised a post-Roe world of “safe, legal, and rare” abortion. No more ghastly “back-alley” procedures, they said. Gosnell’s indictment exploded their myth of progress, revealing a culture in which abortion

Protocol: President Obama declined to send a high-level delegation to Wednesday´s funeral of Britain´s Margaret Thatcher. It´s a measure of how little he values the special relationship — and a sign of his own smallness. Back in more gracious times, vice presidents routinely attended funerals of foreign dignitaries. As such, the presence of Vice President Joe Biden — if not Obama himself — would seem fitting for as significant a U.S. ally as the late Prime Minister Thatcher, if not out of warmth of feeling, then simply to represent the U.S.´ gratitude.

President Obama angrily blamed the defeat Wednesday of his centerpiece gun-control proposal on lies spread by the National Rifle Association, calling it “a pretty shameful day for Washington.” “The gun lobby and its allies willfully lied about the bill,” Mr. Obama said in the White House rose garden about 90 minutes after the vote. “It came down to politics.” As he spoke, Mr. Obama was surrounded by family members of victims of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting. Also with him was former Rep. Gabby Giffords of Arizona, wounded in an assassination attempt.

Authorities on Tuesday revealed little new information about the terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon, the most high-profile bombing on U.S. soil in more than a decade and a tragedy that presents a new test for President Obama. Obama, like all Americans, is standing by, waiting for answers as to who planted two bombs improvised from pressure cookers at the finish line of the storied race, and why. Three Americans were killed in Monday´s attack and more than 170 others were injured. "Anytime bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it is an act of terror," Obama said,

It failed by a vote of 54 to 46, with 5 Democrats voting against it. Only 4 Republicans supported it. Democratic Sens. Mark Pryor (Ark.), Max Baucus (Mont.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Mark Begich (Alaska) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) voted against it.

She accused Bush of being unavailable to the American people for the “first couple weeks” after the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

As we now move into the official Political Aftermath period of the Boston bombing — the period that will determine the long-term legislative fallout of the atrocity — the dynamics of privilege will undoubtedly influence the nation’s collective reaction to the attacks. That’s because privilege tends to determine: 1) which groups are — and are not — collectively denigrated or targeted for the unlawful actions of individuals; and 2) how big and politically game-changing the overall reaction ends up being.

Washington — President Barack Obama says the Senate’s opposition to a bill that would have expanded background checks for gun buyers marks a “shameful day” in Washington. He says a minority of senators decided “it wasn’t worth it” to protect the nation’s children. Obama spoke in the Rose Garden shortly after the Senate vote rejecting a bipartisan effort to expand federal background checks to more firearms buyers. (Snip) The president pinned the blame for the measures failure, though five Democrats also opposed the plan. He also said the gun lobby and its allies “willfully lied” about background check bill.

At a Christian Science Monitor breakfast on Tuesday, Kelly said he would back an opponent to Flake if the "right candidate" was available and if the senator failed to support a background check bill, according to reports.
