| What was supposed to be a make-nice meeting on Tuesday seemed only to make things more contentious between the White House and Senate Republicans over U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice’s comments following the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya. Rice came face to face with some of her harshest Republican critics, hoping to allay their concerns about whether she misled Americans regarding what precipitated the assault. President Obama has staunchly defended Rice and is said to be considering her for his next secretary of state, but the meeting apparently only served to deepen GOP skepticism.

A recess appt. might get Rice the job but it wouldn´t legitimize her and there´s a clock on a recess appt.,I believe. Actually the left is enjoyig trying to push this woman through it the face of objections on the right. It gives them yet another chance to play the race and sex card which gives them secret orgasms.
Her geting the appt. would be hailed as another great victory for King Obama.
The standard excuse she´susig is she was just fed bad info,I guess from Clapper,who probably only works 10 hiurs a week to begin with in a figurehead position.
The probelme is all she had to do was read the news before she wenton the wir to hear the president of Libya admit it was a terror attack.
I still say this ambassador was sacrificed with Obama´s blessings for whatever reason.If not for the two Navy Seals getting involved,the whole video lie may have stuck.The whole thing was an intricate plot along with the astroturf protests of the video in other countries.
The real problem is it´s an uphill climb convincing people that pretty boy Obama is such a demonic person off camera.We´ll never have a smoking gun to expose this joker who´s clever enough to steer clear of any controversial issues.Only a credible whisteblower could expose Obama and we know where they´d wind up.Ft. Marcy park is still idealistic for body dumping.

By saying “If Senator McCain and Senator Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me,” Obama has admitted he is the one who scrubbed the talking points.
Why can´t a reporter ask him exactly what he means by that?

President Obama praised Bostonians for the capture of the suspected terrorist bomber Friday night, even as he issued a plea for the public not to rush to judgment about the suspects’ possible motives. “Whatever hateful agenda drove these men to such heinous acts will not, cannot, prevail,” Mr. Obama said at the White House. “Whatever they thought they could ultimately achieve, they’ve already failed.” Mr. Obama said the terrorists failed because Boston and the nation refused to be intimidated. And then Mr. Obama spoke about the importance of Americans’ spirit “staying true to the unity and the diversity

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — The Hub stopped Friday. The kinetic and salty city of Boston, which got its proud nickname from Oliver Wendell Holmes in the 19th century, came to a standstill Friday while an army of heavily armed police hunted for a skinny 19-year-old in a gray hoodie. By order of the state, a public transit system that serves more than 1.3 million riders a day was padlocked. Amtrak trains were suspended between Boston and New York. Businesses, offices and some of the world’s greatest universities were shut. Taxis were ordered off the streets for part of the day. Residents

As their photographs spread rapidly across the Internet, the Tsarnaev brothers decided to make their move. Not waiting for police to find them, they gathered guns and homemade explosives for what became a final, bloody rampage on a community still in shock from the bombing three days before. In less than 15 minutes late Thursday, authorities said, the brothers fatally shot a campus police officer as he sat in his car, then carjacked a Mercedes-Benz sport-utility vehicle at gunpoint. They held the driver hostage for 30 minutes as they scoured Boston’s western suburbs for bank machines

WATERTOWN, Mass. — Police arrested the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing here Friday night after a day-long manhunt led them to the wounded man hiding in a back yard. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was found after a resident in Watertown saw blood on a boat parked behind his home. The man looked under a plastic cover and saw a man inside the boat, covered in blood. Officers responded, and they exchanged gunfire with the suspect and threw “flash-bang” grenades into the boat in an attempt to flush him out. The suspect was later seized by a SWAT team

Mr. Neuharth’s death came after he suffered injuries in a fall at his home in Cocoa Beach, according to a story in USA Today, the national newspaper he founded.

Long before the gruesome bombings at the Boston marathon, U.S. counterterrorism officials feared that the improvised explosive devices used so effectively by insurgents on the Iraq and Afghanistan battlefields might one day make their way to U.S. shores. And as authorities sift the crime scene for clues about who carried out Monday´s attack that killed three and injured more than 140, a new question lingers over the Homeland Security front: Has America entered a new era of terrorism in which small, easily hidden bombs that can wreak panic and carnage supplant or augment the larger-scale terrorist attacks favored by traditional

Last night we were just about to turn the TV, off but the “news alert” graphic caught our eye. After a brutal week, more bad news: a fatal shooting at M.I.T., then reports of car chases, explosions — all within a mile’s radius of our house here near Harvard Stadium. Sometimes it was hard to tell if a sound came from the TV or the street. Since then we’ve been ordered to stay in our house. We’re a little more than a mile from the area in which police think they have trapped Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the younger

Blogger Alyssa Lindley Kilzer writes that she knew the Tsarnaev family well, because she received facials from the suspects’ mother over a four-year period. According to her description, the family gradually became more devout practitioners of Islam over time: Between 2008 and 2012 I got to know her pretty well. During those 2-3 hours I spent a lot of time asking her about her personal life and her family. (I’m a writer and tend to ask people exhaustive questions about their personal lives, especially as interesting a character as this.) The burka shouldn’t have surprised

"We believe this to be a terrorist," Boston Police Commissioner Ed David told reporters early Friday morning. "We believe this to be a man who´s come here to kill people. We need to get him in custody." Public transportation all over the Boston area has been shut down. Authorities are speaking to the residents of Watertown, Newton, Belmont, Cambridge, and the Allston/Brighton neighborhoods and asking them to stay indoors for the time being. They are also asking businesses in those areas to cooperate and not open today until law enforcement can provide more guidance and information.

The FBI released photos and a brief videotape Thursday of two men it described as “Suspect No. 1 and Suspect No. 2” in the bombing Monday at the Boston Marathon that killed three and injured nearly 180, and appealed to the public to help identify them. The men, walking single file on Boylston Street toward the marathon’s finish line, were seen in photos and a 30-second video carrying black backpacks as they walked briskly along the marathon route. Both wore dark jackets. One wore a white baseball cap, turned backward, and the other wore a black one.

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:

It was not immediately known if Tsarnaev was killed. A bomb squad could be seen responding to the scene. A massive police presence was also in the area.

Latest 11.42 (06.42) The two suspects may be foreign nationals, according to NBC´s Pete Williams. Quote They were legal permanent residents... They were in this country legally, at least a year. They appear to be from Turkey, possibly Chechens from Turkey. That seems to be the nationality here. We´re told they were not students, in their early twenties. One 20, one 21. We don´t have their names yet. The Associated Press has also said the suspects are from Russian region near Chechnya, and had lived in the US at least one year. 11.25 (06.25) A woman in Watertown has snipers

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.

Waco - Baylor star Brittney Griner has revealed she’s a lesbian. The Bears center, who was picked No. 1 overall in the recent WNBA Draft (to the Phoenix Mercury) and is considered by many to be an all-time great in women’s college basketball, casually explained her sexual orientation to Sports Illustrated. Griner was asked by SI’s Maggie Gray on the difference between men’s and women’s sports when it comes to acceptance of sexual orientation; why the WNBA has been able to often embrace many lesbians within their sport, while male sports in America still waits on its first publicly gay player.

His world view is described as ‘‘Islam’’ and he says his personal goal is ‘‘career and money.’’
