I suppose one could do what the Milwaukee Sentinal Journal is doing this time around. In '08 they endorsed 0bama. In '12 they're not endorsing EITHER candidate. In other words, they're voting "present"... | ||

Watching the young lady with the big tattoo liken the voting experience to losing her virginity made me think: Why would a lesbian care about birth control? And how exactly does a lesbian lose her virginity? Does it involve the second knuckle, or is the third knuckle required? Inquiring minds want to know. | ||

Chris (Fahren): It is great to see you showing up for the party and thanks for posting. Did the read the Post's endorsement as it is well written and factual? I have exactly one Republican friend who lives on the Upper West Side who is lonely and needs to read reasoned truth. Keep posting as you have consistently been a reasoned counter balance. | ||

There is no doubt in my mind that Obama will be impeached over his actions if he continues to be President. Benghazi-gate is NOT going away even though the MSM is trying to bury it. I don't have a link as it just came over Fox News that one of the ex-Seal Team members was on the roof and was able to train lasers on the attackers. Our laser guided weapon systems would have targeted and destroyed the attackers if our planes had deployed from Sicily. No defense of US soil and citizens was offered by this President. What do you think President Reagan's response would have been in real time? Obama had no problem with "NATO" airstrikes when he illegally went after Khadafy. | ||

Reindog, WHY is the WH trying so desperately to cover-up Benghazi? Meanwhile: FOX NEWS: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say http://www.therightscoop.com/fox-news-cia-operator s-were-denied-request-for-help-during-benghazi-att ack-sources-say/ REPORT: Clinton asked for more security in Benghazi, Obama said no http://www.therightscoop.com/report-clinton-asked- for-more-security-in-benghazi-obama-said-no/ | ||

I have a VERY HARD time reading the detailed reports of what was going on.... I can only read a sentence or two and the rage sends my brain into the red zone and I end up talking to myself for few minutes. Read some more and repeat. | ||

It would be enlightening to read the psychological profile that must exist somewhere in the CIA, NSA, or FBI. I would probably say that Obama is a narcissist who believes in his infallibility. It would go on in detail that he has an aversion to criticism which stems from his childhood. That would go far in explaining why Obama is convinced that the order for brave others to kill Osama bin Linden was all that is necessary to explain his foreign policy. The War on Terror doesn't exist and was simply a political foil for the Bush administration. The Arab Spring was an outgrowth of his magnificent personality. In short, Benghazi didn't happen and he was so powerful in his own mind that it would go away even though the truth was that he was actively covering it up by lying to the American people. You never see Nixon and Obama in the same room at the same time. The two would have fundamentally understood each other. Both will meet similar fates. | ||

This literally makes me sick to my stomach to read... http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/26/cia-ope rators-were-denied-request-for-help-during-benghaz i-attack-sources-say/ WTF! And anyone who says you don't send armed forces in until you understand what is going on should be slapped, then fired, then slapped again. You don't if you don't have to, but you have an ambassador in the process of being murdered for God's sake. This is horrible. | ||

The sad part is that neither of these guys were assigned to the protection detail for the Ambassador. They saw what was happening, and placed themselves, VOLUNTARILY, in harms way to try to defend Chris Stevens. They didn't have to be there, but they recognized that they NEEDED to be there. Then THEIR Government turned their back on them and left them to die. At least when the Delta Team guys fast roped down to protect our helicopter pilot, they knew help wasn't coming. Terrible tragedy. Presidential crime. | ||

Listening to the Rush caller (who sounded credible, but who knows) made it clear that there were two factors in play. The problem was created when there was a drubbing of any officer remotely involved in the botched hostage rescue from the Iranian hostage crises. It instilled a culture of fear and risk aversion for this sort of action. The failure was a failure of leadership in this specific circumstance, where a real leader should have stepped up and showed real bravery and done the right thing knowing that it was a big risk that he might be throwing away a career, but has to do it because its the only right thing to do. He or she should have made the call to go in. The Seals on the ground made the call, and weren't just betting their carreers, they bet their lives (and lost. And I bet they would do it again if they had the chance). Obama should have been that man to do it as well. But Clinton could have done it as well. As well as a stack of leaders below them. Unless they were calling for it and Obama countermanded them. Thats a critical question at this point. Though ultimately, it was Obama's responsibility. Say what you want about Bush, but he would have gotten this one right. And maybe everything else about a president doesn't matter if they are going to get this kind of thing wrong. God bless and protect our brave patriots everywhere. | ||

I've been told there were 2 plans on the table for the Iran Hostage rescue. The CIA plan used helicopters was minimal impact, and because the different services and teams had never worked together, and the training budget had been cut ( deja-fraking -vu ) we got the debacle that history shows us. The good thing that came out was the creation of special forces commands that unified the different services for that sort of thing in the future. The OTHER plan, the Pentagon/spec ops guy's plan, was to drop a string of "daisy cutters" around the embassy. ( very large bombs designed to clear dense jungle instantly into helicopter landing zones ) Then Rangers were going to jump in with steerable chutes, and evacuate the hostages, then themselves, with the Fulton System. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulton_surface-to-air _recovery_system ( I've always wanted to try this one... ) The concept was loud, intense, and the calculation was that the Rangers could easily hold the area since tanks and bulldozers would take days to penetrate the rubble belt the daisy cutters would leave. It was figured that the rescue would take all day, due to the problems of getting civilians in position, and harnessed up, but the plan included total air superiority, and the occasional loud noise as targets presented themselves. It not only would have worked, it would have made a statement about what happens to people who violate US territory. A lesson the exact OPPOSITE of the one this President gives the world. I can understand the "need for cultural sensitivity" and the symbolic nature of having an unguarded consulate. I don't agree in the strongest possible terms, but I understand the idea. I don't quite get the mental illness that thinks it is good policy. This exact idiocy has killed people through recorded history. How many examples do you want? | ||

In business I've known this to be called decision paralysis. It's a situation where by being unsure about what decision to make, you make no decision and the window to act passes you by. It's pretty much a guaranteed bad decision. The same can happen in a military crisis. Failing to make a decision is in effect making a bad decision. The fact that no action was even initiated demonstrates the decision paralysis in play. Had they made a decision such as scrambling an AC-130 to head over there to disperse the attackers, they could have called the mission off at any time up to actual engagement if new facts dictated that this was a better decision. Failure to act at all shuts your window for action though. This is exactly what Hillary was getting at when she talked of the 3:00 AM phone call. It will come out who wanted to act and who made the decision to not act. Heads should roll over this one. The cover up from the WH only makes things worse, and BO is directly involved in that. This is giving aid to the enemy. Is that not the very definition of treason? | ||

Fellas, we're missing an important part of the story here. We listened to our guys get killed while they pleaded for help. We lied about it the next day (and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that...). Massive, concerted, high-performance cover-up, the likes of which this country has never seen, including ongoing cover and collusion from most of the media... ...WHY??????????????? I don't buy the idea that it was just the preezy trying to protect his claim during the DNC, etc. that we've got alkida (yeah, I know) on the ropes. The scale of this cover-up - which involves at a minimum the Pres, VP, SecState and US UN Amb (who am I missing?) - is HUGE. Which begs the question.....why? What is the pres trying so desperately to hide??? | ||

This is a pattern by the Obama administration. Don't forget F&F. It is all coming home. It will NOT be forgotten I am lucky that I get to vote for Darryl Issa who represents my district. He will keep the burners on after the election if it becomes necessary. The thought of Obama going back to sleep on 9/11/2012 and then heading out to Las Vegas for a fund raiser the next day makes me literally nauseous. | ||

I'm not forgetting F&F. It's kinda moot for most folks now, however, after the pres invoked exec priv; he more or less (in most American's minds) made it go away. No such comfort with Benghazi, though, not with the election so close. What was the motive for the attack on Benghazi? Think about it. Take your time; think about it. What was inside that building that was so valuable? It wasn't just to kick some American ass, IMO. What was the goal of the attackers? What exactly were they after? Is the answer to this question actually what we're trying to hide? There's a part B to the above. I'll touch on it after we talk more about part A. | ||
