Great incapsulation. Pat Smith should be allowed to read this at the invocation of the special committee.

Obammy may give a speech on the matter of his where abouts during this but like so many other incidents it will be mostly LIES.

It troubled me greatly that the General said he was waiting on State Department.

DOESN’T HE UNDERSTAND THE CHAIN OF COMMAND???

Shouldn’t he have said he was waiting for the CBA from the President???

He is still protecting the President!!!

ALSO, did anyone ask him why he was waiting on State and not seeking CBA from the CIC?? This is not rocket science.

One almost has to believe these hearings are run by idiots.

I say to myself, “They can’t be this stupid”, and every day, something comes out that proves they are....or they are intentionally NOT asking the right questions.

He’s NOT protecting POSHITUS! He’s pointing out that the CINC was derelict! And Gowdy will be on that like a duck on a junebug.

Any bets that Gowdy will be in charge? I see it reported that it MAY be him, but he told Greta to let him know if she hears anything.

While I think the General was trying to do the right thing he full well knows that State is not in his chain of command. I wish congressman knew that.

The only reason Gowdy wouldn’t chair it is he REALLY wants Lerner behind bars. Maybe procedurally he could chair both.

He needs to be the lead interrogator with good investigators behind him. He mentions two with passion and there are more who are very competent at doing the detail investigation work. The also need a contact line. One can’t send Issa information unless you live in his district.
I have no problem sending material to Todd Young my representative but others are not as lucky
There is a lot more than the email in the recently released FoI material Also included is a tweet to Rice from a CNN reporter during the attack naming names and explaining who was attacking. That alone should convict Rice. And if she notified the WH as she should it would be the nail in the coffin of another

It has been speculated that 0 didn’t go to the situation room so he could claim he knew nothing. A real POS!

**Of course, no one can answer to a commander-in-chief who abdicates his command, a commander-in-chief who is AWOL. A commander-in-chief does not get to vote “present.”**

When is Obortion O ever at the White House?

The one thing I haven’t seen anybody in any hearing mention the 40 CIA employees who were sequestered having been forced to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements. They must be saving this for the last.

Well, and the missing MANPADS, although that one PHD guy did bring up the chopper in Egypt being brought down with them.

And Mrs. Morsi promised she could bury thighness with all the stuff she has on her.

weet to Rice from a CNN reporter during the attack naming names and explaining who was attacking.


Think this was the guy who happened along the diary shown on the consulate floor? Seems like CNN was completely prepared to own this story until something went ‘wrong’.

Now a soon-to-be published biography by David Maraniss entitled “Barack Obama: The Story” gives more detail on Obama’s pot-smoking days, complete with testimonials from young Barry Obama’s high school buddies, a group that went by the name “the Choom Gang.” Choom was slang for smoking marijuana.

Maraniss portrays the teenage Obama as not just a pot smoker, but a pot-smoking innovator.

“As a member of the Choom Gang,” Maraniss writes, “Barry Obama was known for starting a few pot-smoking trends.”

The first Obama-inspired trend: “Total Absorption” or “TA”.

“TA was the opposite of Bill Clinton’s claim that as a Rhodes scholar at Oxford he smoked dope but never inhaled,” explains Maraniss. Here’s how it worked: If you exhaled prematurely when you were with the Choom Gang, “you were assessed a penalty and your turn was skipped the next time the joint came around.”

Went ‘wrong’ as situation changed from planned kidnap to unexpected massacre, with our heroic Seals running to the sound of gunfire.

If the private of the guard deserts his post
during an attack; he is court-marshalled.

This CiC deserts his post when American
soil was under attack by terrorists,
he needs to be impeached.
