Tomorrows hearings on Benghazi will define the Obama presidency if the truth is finally allowed to be told. I encourage everyone to tune in and hear the revelations that are long overdue. Well also see whether the presidents reliable lapdog cheerleaders in the media will continue to cover up for him and in so doing disgrace their profession. The following link is to something I posted way back on October 25th of last year asking questions that we should have had answers to long ago.
- Sarah Palin
There are many questions about the Benghazi attack that Americans deserve answers to. Its been too long an investigation and too tragic for the families of lost loved ones for the White House and its friends in the media to ignore these questions:
- When and why did the YouTube trailer of the anti-Muhammad movie surface as any kind of credible reason for the attack?
- Where is the proof that that video was linked to Benghazi? Its a weak excuse to claim some supposed rumored link between Benghazi and the attacks on our embassy in Cairo. Benghazi was very different. Spontaneous protestors dont come armed with rocket-propelled grenades.
- What was the Presidents response to the previous Benghazi embassy attacks in April and June? Why did officials ignore the requests for beefed up security to protect Americans after these attacks?
- Why did the Obama Administration assume a YouTube video was the reason for the Benghazi attack but not all the evidence to the contrary from the postings and emails that circulated that night in real time as the attack took place and Americans were being killed? And why werent those emails disclosed until this week?
- Why did the Obama administration spend our tax dollars to make and air television ads that ran in the Middle East apologizing for the YouTube video when they had so much credible evidence that it was nothing but a red herring?
- How much did President Obama know about this? In an interview he gave to CBS News on September 12, President Obama alluded to the fact that the Benghazi attack was notas his U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice and other officials were characterizing ita spontaneous protest triggered by the Cairo embassy attack and the video. He told CBS News in that interview, my suspicion is that there are folks involved in [the Benghazi attack] who were looking to target Americans from the start. If he suspected this then why did he allow his administration to continue blaming the attack on the YouTube video? And why didnt CBS News call him out on this when his comments in their interview with him, which they didnt air until a month later, belie the administrations YouTube narrative?
Someone in the media must demand answers. Until the media does its job to give us the Who What Where When and Why of this cover-up, there will be even less trust for this cornerstone of our democracy if less trust and respect for the media is even possible today. We sincerely want to be able to trust the media. We need to be able to trust them. Their job is so important, and we appreciate all the good journalists in America. Our troops fight to protect all our freedoms including the freedom of the press.

Really? Repeat after me..."racist"..."sexist"..."homophobe"..."the most vulnerable among us"..."common sense gun laws"...
For us, that will be 8:30AM - 3PM on channel 150
Defeatists, no.
Realists, yes.
Politicians can't help but mug, preen, and show off when a camera is focused on them.
The witnesses testimony will be secondary to the blowhards pontifications from the dais.
As usual.
I think we REALLY need to re-examine. When the ABSOLUTE FIRST REACTION BY NEARLY EVERY FReeper is gloom, doom and negativity, it seems to me we DO have a congenital problem going here. I share the pessimism, but it seems like we ought to leave room for just a LITTLE optimism. This constant negativity isn’t doing anyone any good ... Remember, there are FReepers and lurkers who are ACTUALLY involved in this and may be in that hearing tomorrow in an official capacity ... Let’s not destroy their spirit and let them down!
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
“And most importantly why did Obama not give a CBA, i.e., why did he order the stand-down ?”
This man lied through the debates, with the assistance of that Crowley-hag and kept all of those Benghazi survivors sequestered and silent until after the election. Where the hell were they in September and October?
Now that he won, he’s been partying like a rock star and spending his days golfing.
He’s living it up on our dime in case the door ends up hitting him in the ass right quick....
The house will probably have to hold a vote to impeach Obama just to force the media to pay attention to this very serous matter.
Rather than us being concerned at how we have supposedley let them down, maybe they should start realizing how they have let us down.....again
and again
and again
and again
and again
and again.......
We need the parents, and family, of the victims demand answers. Their pleas should be on every hourly newscast, the media should broadcast their pleas answers 24/7.
Sponsors, hiding in the shadows, could pay for all travel and per diem.
All we need is a community organizer to plan and manage that parade
Well, we can always call on Rand paul to do another 13 hour Philibuster on impeachment proceedings.! That’s about the only real way the news makes it upstream in the main stream liberal media news cycle!~
True. But then he won't be interviewing Obama or Clinton. He will be interviewing intelligent, informed, qualified, experienced witnesses i.e. whistleblowers.
It's worse than that. Cross Border Authority was not even needed here. There were authorized forces in-country (Tripoli) that were told to stand down! That's a different dynamic.
Ping for tomorrow
Well, yeah, but let’s remember there are different “thems” coming along all the time. Might be a “them” in one of those Congressional staffs who’s an actual bulldog and has some influence on the usually-meek Congresscritter. But in any event, I’ll stand by my view that leading with defeat isn’t the way to go in ANY enterprise.
What did the President know and when did he know it?
“As much as I hate to say it id much rather deal with stupid rather than evil for the next 3+ years.”
Biden is every bit as evil as President Obama. He is not stupid. Obama is simply much more talented at not taking responsibility for anything. He has mastered the art of not taking responsibility, even when he is President.
Therein lies the hope of a Biden presidency, as little as it may be.
It will never happen though, the MSM will never let the first Black president be impeached or removed.
The best we can hope for is for President Obama to be completely discredited, so that conservatives win big in 2014.
I concur!
He cares about anything that touches in him. A classic demagogue, he is as cold as a snake, and full of self-love. So the Bible got the devils face right.
