| A U.S. congressman is complaining that the Pentagon has ignored his inquiries into whether the U.S. is helping facilitate the movement of arms from Libya to the Syrian opposition. (Snip) Sources told Fox News last week that the movement of arms from Libya to support Syrian fighters is well-known in Benghazi and began almost immediately after the fall of Muammar Qaddafi. Following a report in Britain´s Sunday Times that the Obama administration was facilitating that movement, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland flatly denied the charge. "It was a false report," she said. Nuland later added: "We are providing nonlethal assistance.

No wonder Clinton needs a break; Training & arming our enemy Al Qaeda, is exhausting. She may also not want to respond to the mass raping of women in Egypt, post American/Arab Spring.

He died, Obama said, while helping to set up new culture center and hospital in Benghazi.

The eulogy was the first and last time I heard this explanation as to why Stevens was in Benghazi from the horse´s mouth. Where are all the glowing stories of how the ambassador was ´making a difference´ with the culture center and hospital?

But - but -- he said no nation building while he was in charge -- unlike President George Bush who was transparent in his dealings with the arabs.....

it was quite obvious before the election that 1) the U.S. killed a -- finally -- neutralized Gaddafi 2) put in place Al-Qaeada as leaders of Libya 3) funneled arms to Al-Qaeada 4)(probably) set up black site torture sites in Benghazi and 5) lied in a cover up about all of it to get through the election and it still lying about it and 6) the press (the only constitutionally protected business) betrayed the people by participating in the cover up.

The Benghazi cover-up was intended to prevent Obama’s Iran-Contra writ large.
Obama is funneling Libyan rebel (read Muslim Brotherhood) American made arms through Turkey into Syria to the Muslim Brotherhood rebels. Now, Assad is mixing the chemical weapons he hid at Saddam’s request, hiding them among his own inventory of WMD.
The cast of rascals in this whole sordid drama is multitudinous. Most unfortunately, Obama is an international doofus, and the master manipulators are veterans of years of Communist/Marxist ruthless guerilla politics.
And most unfortunately of all, America, the sole remaining superpower capable of refereeing this international skirmish, is governed by the Honey Boo Boo generation.

The titting-for-tatting between North Korea and the U.S. continued Wednesday as the Pentagon announced it is dispatching a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System (THAAD) ballistic missile defense system to Guam to shoot down any threatening North Korean missile launches.

Shanghai & Hong Kong - China said it was mobilizing resources nationwide to combat a new strain of bird flu that has killed six people, as Japan and Hong Kong stepped up vigilance and the United States said it was closely monitoring the situation. All of the 14 reported infections from the H7N9 bird flu strain have been in eastern China and at least four of the six dead are in the financial hub of Shanghai, a city of 20 million people. The strain does not appear to be transmitted from human to human but authorities in Hong Kong raised a preliminary alert and said they were taking precautions at the airport.

Nashua, N.H. - Declaring that he’s likely not done with politics, former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown from Massachusetts refused Thursday to rule out a run for office in New Hampshire, while describing the Granite State as “almost a second home.” (Snip) Asked if he might challenge Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire in 2014, Brown said: “I’m not going to rule out anything right now.” The former senator, now a Fox News contributor, won election to the Senate seat long held by Democrat Ted Kennedy after he died in 2009.

Tokyo - Haruhiko Kuroda, the new governor of the Bank of Japan, delivered on his promise to drastically change Japan’s economic policy to end a long, debilitating era of deflation. The nation’s central bank announced on Thursday that it would double the amount of money in circulation and try to produce annual inflation of about 2 percent. (Snip) This major shift in Japan’s monetary policy is a stark contrast to years of what many economists said was a halfhearted battle to end deflation. Deflation is a damaging fall in prices, profits and wages, and it weighs on economic growth.

Denver - A psychiatrist who treated James Holmes told campus police a month before the Colorado theater attack that Holmes had homicidal thoughts and was a danger to the public, according to documents released Thursday. Dr. Lynne Fenton, a psychiatrist at the University of Colorado, Denver, told police in June that the shooting suspect also threatened and intimidated her. It was more than a month before the July 20 attack at a movie theater that killed 12 and injured 70. (Snip) Whitten said Fenton was following her legal requirement to report threats to authorities, according to a search warrant affidavit.

Operated from a Predator surveillance drone, the radar system has collected evidence that Border Patrol agents apprehended fewer than half of the foreign migrants and smugglers who had illegally crossed (Snip) The new tally of unlawful border crossings could complicate White House efforts to pass comprehensive immigration reform after Congress returns from recess next week.

The bill, like measures passed last year in Mississippi and Tennessee and last month in North Dakota, would require that doctors performing abortions have admitting privileges at local hospitals.

The most rigorous study to date of how much it costs to care for Americans with dementia found that the financial burden is at least as high as that of heart disease or cancer, and is probably higher. And both the costs and the number of people with dementia will more than double within 30 years, skyrocketing at a rate that rarely occurs with a chronic disease. (Snip) Behind the numbers is a sense that the country, facing the aging of the baby boom generation, is unprepared for the coming surge in the cost and cases of dementia. “It’s going to swamp the system,” said Dr. Ronald C. Petersen,

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.

To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race.

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
