Release Obama’s Benghazi intelligence briefings
WaPo ^ | Monday, May 5, | Marc A. Thiessen,

Posted on 05/05/2014 9:12:23 PM PDT by LeoWindhorse

President Obama claims he was only repeating what the intelligence community told him when his administration asserted that the attack in Benghazi began with a spontaneous protest inspired by an Internet video. If that’s the case, there is a simple way to prove it: Give the new congressional select committee investigating Benghazi his daily intelligence briefings that show exactly what he was told.

There is precedent for doing so. In 2004, at the request of the 9/11 Commission, President George W. Bush declassified and publicly released the President’s Daily Brief (PDB) delivered to him before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. No sitting president had ever declassified a PDB while still in office. But Bush did it anyway.

Obama hasn’t shown anything else of his past, so he’s not pulling any surprises here. Wouldn’t show his college transcripts (Bush did), passport records, record of baptism, senate records, not even his birth certificate. There are a lot more than that, by the way, which seem to be oddly missing.

Doesn’t he get honorable mention for coming up with a phony BC?

To say they will go down swinging will prove to be an understatement.

What the leftists fail to face is that even one shell was proof.

There were LOTS of discoveries of WMD throughout the campaign, along with mass graves and other sundry depravities. The media simply flat-out refused to cover them. Remember, back then the media still hated GWB because he had "stolen" the election from their shining hero, the mess that is Al Gore.

They were beside themselves when George Bush "showboated" climbing up that rubble with a megaphone and announcing we would make the murderous Islamic terrorists pay; they were apoplectic when he heroically deplaned on that carrier to speak to the crew (to this day they deride him for the "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner behind him when he made that speech. That banner was acknowledging the CARRIER's completed mission, not the war. In his very speech there he said there was MUCH more to be done).

There was a VERY real sense in the 2001-2004 era that the Democrats were finished because of the national fervor and this brave Republican president. What the Democrats have done then and since is try to denigrate American patriotism, American might, and anything else that (correctly) shows them as hostile to the glory of this country.

I am quite convinced that 2014 is their Waterloo, and they know it. People have simply had enough of these '60s and '70s "activists" now in power, and the young, black (always with the stereotypes, the Leftists) "President" they propped up to represent their aims.

Quickly rising into power are the men and women who came to fruition in the Reagan era -- Ted Cruz, for a major example -- and their disdain for these old, antiquated "activists" still trying to hold on while the world passes them by is palpable. I think Americans are finally ready to move on, finally leaving behind that pretty much useless generation that can't acknowledge that this nation has made heroic strides since Selma, and Kent State, and Woodstock.

Right, does anyone series think Obunghole will release anything that has not been thoroughly scrubbed?

This POS is the most paranoid and cautious psychopath ever to be fraudulently or legitimately elected to the office.

‘Why must we have to put up with him?’

Some people would say that if we kill 54 million innocent babies remorselessly and continue to do se, at the rate of 1 million per year, and that because we continue with the controlling root of that practice, birth control, and the resultant destruction of gender roles, marriage, family, innocence and self genocide, that we get what we deserve.

But that’s just some people

I expect the administration to freak out and pull a Venezuela at some point in the near future.

Could happen. Won’t work. I suspect, as Hunter S. Thompson used to say, they’ve “cashed their check.”

Does Obama actually claim that’s his BC, or is he sort of slippery about it?

They may already be starting.
The blm armed invasion force was ordered from the whitehouse.
The response they got in return made them blink.
I suspect their next move will be more aggressive, violent, and over the top.
Probably in an effort to intimidate and “send a message.”

Probably why Barry won’t release the briefs, they would show how cornball screwy the administration is.

Barry — and indeed, the whole bunch — are so buoyed by their coddling, never-critical press, they have no clue about reality. It’s not just ranchers, or farmers, or coal miners. The whole of America that actually WORKS for a living by now is completely aware this Administration is not their friend.

Yes.

Side note, Barry and his crew fled DC when the first Tea Party protest happened.
The sight of one million po’d people frightened him badly.
Now, he’d leave orders to Janet Reno as many as possible.

It would be an “interesting” civics experiment to see how many “just follow orders” on that versus how many say “screw that.”

Thank you.
I actually had a clear unredacted version of it and misplaced it filewise.

I think they'll try their damndest to scrub things, but there are too many details, too many eyes on them for them to fool all of the people all of the time--and just one can open the can of worms back up with an internet post or an e-mail.
