It's a BASIC minimum of responsible journalism and it's a damn shame you don't demand it.

As usual you have no idea what you're frickin' talking about.

It's time to grill them and force them to defend every word they say.

Just this evening I was thinking about the Benghazi incident. We are blamed for a video causing the uprising by our administration and these same people, even though it took awhile after 9/11/01, blamed us for that also. Incredible we have these types in our land.

All I needed was that one quote. Anyone who needs more than that is brain dead.

First of all you're an idiot for not even noticing that the quote makes no sense. That's why I was looking for context.

“There’s a percentage [of attacks] which are cultural affronts,”

The bracketed section, in particular, does not make the quote clearer, it makes it less clear. The attacks themselves are cultural affronts?!? What the hell does that mean? The attacks were insensitive? To who? It's a nonsense quote.

I think the idiot general may be trying to say that the attacks are the RESULT of perceived cultural attacks. Which is a completely inflammatory and inaccurate statement, if he actually meant that.

Before I attack the general, I would like to be clearer on what the hell he was trying to say. I want to accurately gauge the level of his idiocy. Being able to read the quote in context would help me do that.

But an intellectually lazy lumox wouldn't even notice the problem with the general's mangled quote. Such a dwarfish mind would actually brag about his own inability to muster any intellectual curiosity and question a person who asks for higher standards in journalism.

Top officials believe culturally offensive behavior is the motivation behind the killings, so it’s stepped up Islamic sensitivity training for our troops.

Send those "top officials" to Afghanistan to show our troops how it's done.

Why the absolute secrecy over the identity of these "top officials", when the same statist media happily give up name, address, GPS coordinates, Google maps, and photos of everyone even remotely related to someone being investigated for "islamophobia"? The American people have a right to know names and addresses, too.

How about the full media anti-secrecy treatment for all these "reporters" who get their names published in the byline? Let a couple of them get spammed across the internetz using the public source information about their lives. See how willing they'll be to take a "secrecy bullet" for some pogue in the Pentagon.

The Illegal’s “cultural sensitivity” toward our courageous service people, America, and all loyal Americans is a total, abiding, and absolute hatred and contempt for all of us and our most sacred values and institutions. That vile subhuman communist and secret Mudslime is a traitor and criminal.

Chmn, JCS, Gen Martin Dempsey, is a piece of work.

Or, does he spell it Gen Martin Dhimmipsey?

As usual your ramblings are a waste of time. If you think attacking Gateway Pundit is somehow a way to hold the media accountable then knock yourself out. I’ll leave you on your post, turtle.

The way you stop this is you create an unfavorable math equation. For every American Casualty you create 10,000 enemy casualties. 2:1 or 4:1 or 10: 1 or 30: 1 don’t hack it.

How you get to those numbers? By accident. An accidental truck full of explosives blows up accidentally blows up a Pakistani Dam. A plane crashes in Pakistan and wipes out an airport....pretty soon Pakistan does the math and stops allowing the Taliban access to the border.

You gotta do the math.

We must increase our praying for our troops that their enemies in the WH, the Pentagon, and the Islamic world will not be able to put them intentionally in harm’s way.

Never in my life did I think I would have to write the above and make such a prayer request.

I never thought I would see the day when I would have to advise young people to NOT join Ubama’s sodomized military under any circumstances, and if they are already in, find a way out. It sickens me.

Their intention is to replace Americans in the military with pink, compliant advocates so that they can have the military behind them like in a 3rd world junta.

They don’t want our real men there. They want the weak-willed, the unnatural, the feminine, the effeminate, and they want to put massive firepower in the hands of these people who will obey orders to fire on even our own American patriots.

Our problem is that it appears that Romney is not far behind Obama in this matter.
