FOX: Udall won’t say if drones over Benghazi were armed.

[Gritty]

Good morning, all!

Thank you for your analysis, bray.

I have been in a cold fury all week over this. What we are seeing in this Benghazi episode is the massive unmasking of the evil which permeates this Administration and it's allies.

It started with initial cowardice, incompetence, criminal negligence, and cold-bloodedness and has progressed into deliberate lies, massive coverup, and criminal conduct. It has thoroughly exposed the rot and corruption in a huge segment of our political and cultural class and their lap dog propaganda enablers, aka "mainstram media", for all to see - if they have eyes to see.

This entire Administration needs to be removed from office immediately. The system must ultimately be cleansed of this rot if this country is to survive in any form we recognize or want. This is way beyond politics as usual. Nothing more urgent faces this country.

One can only hope the process may be initiated peacefully through this election. If that somehow fails, then I fear more extreme measures may be in store for us.

If these fiends get another four years they will go for a final consolidation of power. They will not willingly give up their grasp on it as they gut this country and our rights and liberties and loot our people for their ends. We saw how well their ideas and methods worked out in the Soviet Union and China in the 20th Century. The potential for an equal national and human nightmare is shaping itself on our horizon as we watch.

The next few weeks will etch much of the tale. We must prevail. We must.

As bray so often says, "Pray for America".

Wallace is nailing them on Benghazi. He just stopped Udall from spouting the Administration talking points (i.e. we all need to pull together here and stop questioning our Commander-in-Chief). He just asked the Colorado Senator if the drone was armed.

[rodguy911]

MTP with dnc Dave toady is all economy. No Benghazi.This shows you just how key Benghazi is. They are scared to death to even talk about it.Now its all romeny is a flip flopper bs personified.

[jneesy]

This Week should prove interesting bald faced liar vs the newtster

[maggief]

FOX: Warner won’t answer if drones were armed.

[Paine in the Neck]

They're ignoring Benghazi....

As hard and as fast as they can. Pretty pathetic that we have to depend on McCain to possibly bring up the issue. No one else in these lineups will.

[Hoodat]

Senator Warner is boasting how he sits on the Senate Armed Services committee. So Wallace asked Warner if the drone was armed. No answer.

[maggief]

You can bank on it that if the drones were unarmed they would comment.

[sissyjane]

CNN: Preibus “What people care about is the economy and what happened in Bengazi. Either Panetta lied or Obama lied”. Candy ignored him...

[TomGuy]

Then you have Patraeus saying basically 'we did not NOT offer help because no one asked for help' to CYA himself and the CIA.

Woods and Doherty worked for a CIA group. They supposedly disobeyed orders to 'stand down' which would imply that they asked for permission to engage. So, who was giving the 'stand down' orders? How far up the chain did that go?

Woods or Doherty laser painted the attackers. That would assume that air assets were anticipated -- drones, planes, guided missiles. That data was immediately transmitted to HQ [where ever HQ was]. We know from reports that one done was filming and another drone came into the theater -- one of those drones was reported to be armed.

Panetta at Defense defended his rear by saying 'you don't send others into a zone where you don't know what is going on.' [Really, Mr. Secretary? Military have been doing that since the revolutionary war.]

Even more devastating, is this [FR source thread link]:

"This was in the middle of the business day in Washington, so everybody at the White House, CIA, Pentagon, everybody was watching this go down," Shaffer said on Fox News’ Justice with Judge Jeanine. "According to my sources, yes, [Obama] was one of those in the White House Situation Room in real-time watching this."

[InterceptPoint]

They're ignoring Bengahzi....

You noticed. Hardly surprising. The MSM is, after all, the MSM.

[Hoodat]

Yeah, just caught that. Warner started out positioning himself as someone in the know. Yet when faced with that question, he refrained from answering. Either he doesn’t know anything, or he knows that the drone was armed. Either way, that indicates a coverup. And the Administration doesn’t cover up good news. I would conclude that there is a high probability that said drone was armed.

[skinkinthegrass]

This is the most America hating coward who has ever occupied the White House.
Here is the coldest man in America who no longer decides on whether or not you can
save an Ambassador and his protection on military or humanitarian grounds but on
political expedience..

America used to believe in Freedom and Liberty and now it is nothing more the Rulers
against the ruled. Ambassador Stevens was part of the ruling class however once he
became a political decision he was expedient and his fellow rulers watched him
get tortured, raped then killed by the savages without allowing help.

He believes he is a ruler in the mold of Stalin and Mao so all decisions have to go
through him. Communism requires ruling and dictating just as this event proves
as does every other decision since he knows everything.thank you, for your very sobering essay...
hmmm...you can bet; if Ambassador Stevens was a Muslim,
attacked by Christians..(all hell would have broken loose)
..and the White Hut/ABCNNBCBS still; would've blamed Romney....

[rodguy911]

My take is not far from yours.

My take is that Stevens knew too much and the decision,political of course, was made by those in the regime like axel, jarrett and moochhell.

Stevens had to go. He went all the way back to the bath house days with Rhambo and zero.Now he was a loose cannon with contacts all over the mid-east. He talked to them in Arabic.The regime never knew exactly what he was doing! He had to go.

First they got rid of his security left him with only locals denied all his security requests.

By the way when these security requests from Stevens were denied Hillary and Petraeus at CIA were slick enough to forward Stevens requests for more security to the regime and kept copies for their files absolving them if the shiitte hit the fan later. As it did.

Once Stevens' security was gone and he was left with local security they were quickly compromised. They told the terror types where Stevens was and the rest as they say is history.

Fall guys will be Hillary and Panetta. By the way is this retribution by Jarrett for their hit of obl without her knowledge? Could be.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Obama “Now with respect to Libya, as I indicated in the last debate, when we received that phone call, I immediately made sure that, number one, that we did everything we could to secure those Americans who were still in harm’s way;”

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Tyrone Woods killed by a motar shell from one of the very mortars which could have been destroyed had Obama actually tried to secure anyone?

[maggief]

Ditto.

The CIA is urging the White House to approve a significant expansion of the agency’s fleet of armed drones, a move that would extend the spy service’s decade-long transformation into a paramilitary force, U.S. officials said.

(snip)

The CIA’s proposal would have to be evaluated by a group led by President Obama’s counter­terrorism adviser, John O. Brennan, officials said.

[mazda77]

I wouldn’t be too quick on blending Petraeus in with O and H.

Just sayin’...

That all depends if you consider his statement on Sept. 14th accrediting the attack on the YouTube video as well; Just sayin' . . .

“Now with respect to Libya, as I indicated in the last debate, when we received that phone call, I immediately made sure that, number one, that we did everything we could to secure those Americans who were still in harm’s way;”

This Benghazi thing is the culmination of every bad thing I've thought about this president.

I've no doubt that Valerie Jarrett arranged the stupid video thing, along with Hillary and her pal Humidor.

Now we find out that as Americans begged for help it was denied them.

Oh, and did y'all hear about Biden?

The man whispered, at Dover AFB as one of those Seal/Contractor's body arrived "Has your son always had balls as big as cue balls?"

Forgive if I offend but that's what my boy Biden said.

Are these the Keystone Kops or what leading this country?

I don't doubt that Benghazi is the end of Obama's administration. Even if he wins the election, he will be impeached. As he should be. And once we get beyond Sandy and this looming election, the American people will finally understand the total of this Benghazi thing.

I use my daughter as benchmark. Yes she knew about Benghazi, not to any detail and believe that she and granddaughter know now.

She was on Facebook last night and begins to ooh and ahh. "Oh Mom, those people in Benghazi were begging for help and were turned down. This lady at my church just posted a link to the story. And those two Seals were heroes...."

Granddaughter pipes up and wants to know the story of the heroes. So I launch into a long rant about Benghazi at some point daughter tells me to calm down.

Folks, we've got big news stories, plus a somewhat simple attitude by the pubbies that...well maybe we oughta wait till the election.

But it just keeps getting worse and worse and I do know the whole story, been reading everything I get hands on.

This story is so bad, no way will they be able to get past it. Just my daughter's surprised and horrified reaction told me everything about how the American people will react once the news gets to them.

And it will. Don't doubt me. Thank me very much.

[bray]

Thank you kahuna, it would be good to print it in the Obamedia. Apparently, they haven’t heard of Benghazi yet?

Pray for the Election
