Washington, DC - For two months, the so-called mainstream media all but ignored the Sept. 11 terror attack in Benghazi, Libya that resulted in four dead Americans. What actions the Obama administration took before, during and after the bloody assaults on the U.S. consulate and a CIA outpost should have been a legitimate election issue. But the Romney campaign only raised the disaster once and then avoided it like an outbreak of the Ebola virus.
Now that the election is decided, the Fourth Estate is on the story. Though the president never mentioned the Benghazi debacle in his prepared remarks at this week's press conference his first since last March fallout from the fiasco in Libya was finally topic number one for the potentates of the press. Of course the question wasn't, "What did you know and when did you know it?" Instead, the lead off question, posed by Ben Feller of the Associated Press, was: "Can you assure the American people that there have been no breaches of national security or classified information in the scandal involving Generals Petraeus and Allen?" The follow up was about whether the "commander in chief and the American people should have been told that the CIA chief was under investigation before the election."
So rather than focus on incompetence, misfeasance and/or malfeasance leading up to, in the midst of, and following a deadly terror attack - President Obama gets a pass by claiming that "There's an ongoing investigation" and that he didn't "want to comment on the specifics of the investigation."
It was a brilliant, audacious diversion. The "reporters" present didn't even question the veracity of Obama's claim that "we're not supposed to meddle in, you know, criminal investigations and that's been our practice."...

I don't know, it seems to me like having your consulate over-run and your ambassador killed and your secret files strewn all over and your CIA base exposed and attacked could constitute a security breach.
Nope, just a “bump in the road” on the way to the establishment of the world-wide Caliphate.
Good choice of words
“That’s crucial because Obama’s Arab Spring is rapidly degenerating into an explosive Islamist winter. Radical websites and propaganda organs are trumpeting U.S. weakness and disarray. Calls for martyrs to attack American military and diplomatic posts overseas have increased five-fold since Benghazi. That may not be as sexy as military-mistress dalliances, but it’s a lot more important.”
mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm
On first read of the title I thought it was about celestial navigation with a sextant. I need a nap. (And possibly new glasses)
The only direct route to getting the information as to what has happened, what is happening, and prevent more of the same from happening begins with getting the Obama Leftist thugs the “H” out of the way so it’s possible to work on the investigation unencumbered.
That means the Democrats have to go, and we aren’t going to see that unless we promote Conservative ideals, and gain the confidence in Conservatism necessary to win over the majority of voters, as well simultaneously address, and conquer the illegal voter fraud rampant in the electoral process today.
That means we can’t sit back, and trust the GOP elitists anymore. We have to do it ourselves. Perhaps a TEA Party force as a Donkey Engine to start the new machine running. Going to take one “H” of a lot of money, and some powerful players, but we have to get something moving in the RIGHT direction.
It’s time for the States to collude against the Federal Government franchise. That franchise is consumed with Leftist political disease taking this Nation down, failing the citizens of this Nation, as well for those seeking the freedoms we used to protect around the World.
Thanks for the ping jaz.
They're most definitely taking our Nation down and the patriots in our country must defeat them...Starting NOW!
Thank you for the ping. I love Ollie.
