We've been in the deepest recession since the great depression. We're going over a fiscal cliff. We gotta keep going forward!

[tough old man]

I say go over the cliff! Bungee!

People talk about the federal government shutting down like its a bad thing.

If they lied, as opposed to simply talking without knowing wtf actually happened, they might have been afraid of people thinking the administration used American resources to help Libyan rebels just to have those same Libyans turn around and attack our consulate.

Now, why would anyone ever think that?

Listen to any of the news stations and the term"fiscal cliff" makes for a good drinking game.
I'm with you but I''ll do a base jump.

The details about possible al-Qaeda involvement were not included in talking points initially used by both Petraeus and Rice because they were preliminary and were based on classified sources, intelligence officials said.

Critics of administration conduct have suggested that the White House excised any reference to terrorism for political reasons.

A senior U.S. official familiar with the drafting of the talking points said Friday that they “reflected what was known at the time” and “were not, as has been insinuated by some, edited to minimize the role of extremists, diminish terrorist affiliations or play down that this was an attack.” In addition to concerns about classified sources, the official said, “when links were so tenuous — as they still are — it makes sense to be cautious before pointing fingers to avoid setting off a chain of circular and self-reinforcing assumptions.”

That's great. Except the talking points were entirely false, based on nothing that went on in Benghazi.

The deputy of slain U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens has told congressional investigators that a team of Special Forces prepared to fly from Tripoli to Benghazi during the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks was forbidden from doing so by U.S. Special Operations Command Africa.

The account from Gregory Hicks is in stark contrast to assertions from the Obama administration, which insisted that nobody was ever told to stand down and that all available resources were utilized.

When it became clear last fall that the CIA’s now discredited Benghazi talking points were flawed, the White House said repeatedly the documents were put together almost entirely by the intelligence community, but White House documents reviewed by Congress suggest a different story.

ABC News has obtained 12 different versions of the talking points that show they were extensively edited as they evolved from the drafts first written entirely by the CIA to the final version distributed to Congress and to U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice before she appeared on five talk shows the Sunday after that attack.

White House emails reviewed by ABC News suggest the edits were made with extensive input from the State Department. The edits included requests from the State Department that references to the Al Qaeda-affiliated group Ansar al-Sharia be deleted as well references to CIA warnings about terrorist threats in Benghazi in the months preceding the attack.

Just remember this: some dumb demented bastard that made a crappy anti-muslim online movie is sitting in jail without bail. What was his crime involving Benghazi? Nothing! Except being a useful fall guy for an administration to cast blame on.

That dude sits in the pokey (without bail), while the pervert Ariel Castro's bail is set at $8,000,000. In reality $800,000 is what he would need to walk free. The video guy was a loon, but the reason for revoking this guys praole is total bullshit and based on a lie.

This is what the administration is trying to cover up.

The fact that our Ambassador was trying to get back some particularly nasty weapons we foolishly didn't prevent the Libyan Al-Qaida branch from getting their hands on. This is why our Lybian Ambassador was in Benghazi meeting with the Turks. We wanted those weapons back and we wanted the Turks to help us.

Everything else is just normal Hillary Clinton incompetence.

That is "Why" this matters; Four Americans are dead, over thirty were maimed, a usefull dupe sits in jail, and a bunch of anti-aircraft missles are missing.

And which of those attacks killed four US citizens, including a US ambassador? IIRC, the last time an ambassador was killed was during the Carter era.

BTW, the security failure was sad, but the subsequent BS cover story is a much greater problem.

[The Ginger Beard Man]

How many of those attacks took place over multiple hours, with military resources possibly in a position to help, but ordered not to. During an election.
The cover up is always worse than the crime. Ask Richard Nixon. Ask Martha Stewart.
No doubt the republicans are trying to gain a political advantage here, but don't act as if the democrats wouldn't. Or weren't, by lying about what happened.

[powerlifter54]

All the Obamas had to do was simply respond like pros. Should have had aircraft at Sig, Souda, or Aviano. Or launched them.

They could have just said did not want to have collateral damage so aborted strike.

Then been outraged at AQ. Would have been fine.

But for some reason or reasons they got cute. Probably the close election. The Vegas thing is amazing.

And now the press has to react after Obama and company caught fibbing about talking points.

This is like watching a guy with a bunch of boxes in his arms blindly walk toward a staircase.

The fall is gonna be ugly. And avoidable.

My guess is Hillary takes the brunt of it, Obama just becomes a lame duck.Interesting maybe John F'in Kerry or Delaware Joe leaked info...

One of the key unanswered, even unasked, questions about the U.S. and Ambassador Stevens relationship with Abdelhakim Belhadj concerns not so much the 2011 period of the Libyan revolt, but rather what followed. Was Ambassador Stevens still in touch with Belhadj and/or other Al Qaeda-linked figures even after Belhadj traveled to Istanbul, Turkey, in November, 2011 to make contact with the Syrian Free Army?

According to August, 2012 reports leaked to the media, sometime earlier in 2012, President Obama signed an intelligence finding to permit the CIA and other US government agencies to provide support to the Syrian rebels, whose ranks are reported to be dominated by Al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood and other jihadist fighters who already are supported by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and other jihadist regimes. Was Belhadj a conduit for U.S. support, perhaps via Turkey?

It might be recalled that, according to the Department of State’s transcript of a October 9, 2012 telephone conference call held to brief reporters on what happened in Benghazi, the final meeting that Ambassador Stevens held the night of September 11, 2012 before the attack began was with a Turkish diplomat.

As someone said during Watergate "Follow the money". Saudi money, which is intended to isolate Shia Islam in the Middle East so that Iran can be neutralized politically and thus reduce the threat to Sunni Saudis.

Syria is run by Alawites, a sect of Shia Islam. The Muslim Brotherhood has tried for years to overthrow Assad and his family.

Obama is doing the bidding of Saudis, as every US President has done since Nixon. Simply would NOT DO for him to be outed as a "war monger" as this would annoy Code Pink and the rest.

The theory I am reading from the conspiracy theorists is that the administration lied in their initial assessment of this coming out of a riot or not. I don't see what the administration gains by telling such a lie, or why such a distinction would make a difference. Anybody know what the deal is?

Look up Peggy Noonan's article, out today

[Herv100]

LOL. You're such a fucking partisan hack

[DARTH]

Anything called Mother Jones just sounds like the place reeks of shit from all the assfuckers and cocksuckers in the place going ass to mouth.

Everyone I've seen from it was stereo typical plastic rimmed glasses wearing, low T count bitch boy types who just scream that they were the little twerp in school who got picked on and instead of nutting up and fighting back learned to suck up to the teachers and rely on the system to handle their inability to become men about shit.


Maybe Obama got together with some of his Jawa secret fuck buddies (because step daddy taught him how to take that cock dry.) and staged this shit so Stevens could be a hostage and then the great one could negotiate a release just in time for Election day? Not saying this is fact.

Not letting fucking SF and other high speed types run to the fire just does not sound right, same with not putting jets over the place while those 2 SEAL were using a laser marker, wondering where the fucking air support was.

Just does not sound like the way those types do shit, going by knowing Trooper and a few of his crew.

I;ve just heard to many tales of guys jumping into the shit for each other and a few " I did not hear any transmission telling us no, did you ?" " Not me."

One of his was in this chain, I bet he was furious. He;s a guy who kept going out on ops way past the rank where they are supposed to stand back and point. A real if his guys are in the shit, then he;s going in the shit kind of man.

[cleaner464]

Obama is in league with principalities, with powers, with the rulers of the darkness of this world.

Please.

Demographics are working against the angry, conservative, white man despite all the gerrymandering and dirty voting tricks he can muster.
