A friend mentioned "Extortion 17" to me yesterday. I had no clue what it was. Now I know.

Now think about similar events with CIA Ops in Benghazi. We have a pattern of betrayal.

May the Truth of Benghazi come "out of Egypt" during the Morsi & Muslim Brotherhood Trials.

Movies critical of Democrats are no longer allowed to be made, and those that do make them will be arrested in the New USSA.

Yes, some truth to that.

The book is already there. I can still read. Often more accurate content is in book anyway.

I prefer Acirema - where criminals are rewarded and the honest are punished. Where truth is a lie and a lie is the truth. Where an unchecked regime preaches freedom, while patriots are persecuted.

You get the picture.

This loss is a tragedy for the number of lives taken and families affected but it’s really the writ-large effect of the most stupid Rules of Engagement in the history of warfare. There are plenty of other smaller tragedies and losses that are the clear result of failing to engage hostiles with vigor and violence to end their evil ways.

Excellent summary by LTC West and I hope to read the book soon. The families of “Extortion 17” and Benghazi deserve truthful answers that result in consequences for those responsible.

Our wars are being run by lawyers - and Liberal, politically correct, risk-averse ones at that. Most of them could give a sh!t if our people are killed as long as their crazy rules are scrupulously followed.

Our ROE (Rules Of Engagement) have morphed into ROS (Rules Of Surrender).

There is no good that can come out of our further pain and suffering if the means and objectives are worthless, which is what they have become. If we are not going to do what it takes to defeat the enemy and protect our own people we should get the hell out. Now.

Enough of burning our precious military lives and resources so Liberals can feel good about themselves not being mean to our enemies - or, more tellingly, being helpful to their friends!

"Our" government has unilaterally quit in the War Against Islamic Extremism and has instead taken up the sword in a War Against the American People. If we don't stop them, they will push on to total victory - an outcome never dreamed of when they first took up fighting against the Islamist devils. The ROE they are using against the American People are ultimately more effective than the ones they are using against the Islamists.

I was listening to Jeff Kuhner on WRKO up in Boston this morning. A caller brought up something that has been in the back of my mind for many months now; that is, our republicans in Congress has obviously been neutered. They are doing nothing to stop this lawless pResident. This caller believes - and I too believe - that they have been blackmailed and threatened. Obama and his handlers are using NSA information, IRS, etc to blackmail, threaten and intimidate. They are using ‘the Chicago way’. I have no doubt of it. Look at Chief Justice Roberts. Why did he change his decision about Obamacare the night before it was passed? Why is Boehner and the GOP-e so determined to try to discredit real (teaparty- conservatives? No wonder so many congressmen are retiring. I hope the next election sees a new Congress of true conservatives who refuse to be intimidated. Obama needs to be impeached. Republicans know that, but they are protecting themselves and their families. This is what I believe.

Sneakers, a lot of people share your opinion, based on the same facts and actions.

Indeed.

This is the big lesson that our communists learned from the failures of the Soviet Union and Mao’s China - mass terror is a crude and ineffective weapon in the long run. Killing your own population isn’t effective, either. You eliminate those who could possibly help the cause. Eventually, you run down people into apathy and cynicism, and the system evaporates, like dust.

Targeted terror, however, works great. Focus on the key players and those who are influential, find a weakness or a problem, then use it to destroy reputations and careers. There’s no reason for the leftists to kill Sarah Palin when you can more efficiently marginalize her and wreck her political career. Just call Fox News “Faux News” and you’ve gone a long way towards getting rid of an audience. Gum up the works with the IRS. Indict Ted Stevens for “corruption” that’s so small it is laughable, flip an election, then drop the charges. There’s a suspicious part of me that thinks the occasional murder wouldn’t be out of the question - Breitbart, for example - but I think even that fits the notion of “targeted terror.” The mere fact that some people THINK Breitbart was murdered by the elite is enough to help quash dissent and protest. It’s quite clever, really. Leave it to the Americans to find a way to get Leninist principles to work.

And God help us.
