LOL The hair stood up on the back of my neck when I heard of both zeros voting early. Better to have as many dumbxxx dems vote now so that they have less of a chance to change their minds the closer we get to 11/6.

Finally saw that ABC finally has this story up on their home page

Dereliction of Duty is about as good an excuse as “present” is a Senate vote.

Dempsey needs to be relieved of duty, as well as Panetta.
It my well be that Petraus needs to go as we’ll.

">>> “There’s a basic principle here, and the basic principle is that you don’t deploy forces into harm’s way without knowing what’s going on, without having some real-time information about what’s taking place,” Panetta told a news conference.<<<"

Why weren't forces deployed to assist the consulate when the ambassador requested help in the weeks (month?) before?

From Stevens point-of-view, there was already a security problem FOR the consulate so they WERE ALREADY in harm's way. Stevens requested help in the past and was repeatedly turned down.

It was known that Stevens (from his point of view) was already in harm's way so why didn't Panetta, with real-time observation, not lean on PROBABLE attack, and helping when there was a security already identified in the weeks (months?) before.

I'm meaning to say - why didn't they say this is probable attack, let's treat it as such and move forward with intense assistance - assistance already available offshore and in Italy.

I think now we also know why U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan were disarmed when Leon Panetta visited there a while back.

Just read the details of this story, folks. Tyrone Woods and his fellow CIA personnel blatantly violated orders when the went to the aid of the Americans at the U.S. consulate. Good for them. It further reinforces my belief that many U.S. military and civilian personnel operating overseas have lost faith in their own chain of command.

Yes the kidnapping scenario makes more and more sense. And if the “kidnappers” thought there wasn’t supposed to be resistance...then when the 2 ex-seals showed up maybe the “kidnappers” thought they were being double crossed by Obama and decided to kill Stevens at that point.

Ham, Dempsey, and Panetta are all culpable, but the blame leads to the two heads of this snake - obuma and hillary. IMO, Buckwheat gave the order to the Muslim Brotherhood to attack. He’s the primary villian who should face death by hanging for treason.

My airedales like rottweilers......for breakfast. Airedales are stronger, faster, more adgile, smarter and have better endurance. They are more of special operator like Seal then a rottweiler who is more of an ordinary soldier. Of course my airedales all have been around 90 pounds and 27 inches at the shoulder rather than the more common at least on the left coast 65-70 pounds and 24 inches at shoulder.

It’s doubtful the truth will ever come out. It never seems to happen with the dems. They always get away with murder.

“they were dead the moment they trusted their lives to the Executive Branch. “

So besides saddling us with Trillions in debt, setting race relations back years, this guy has harmed our military by causing those thinking of serving to rethink whether they may be in the next coffin to save a guy his POTUS job.

This is not leadership. It is treason.

Dempsey no busines in uniform.

Boy,........... do I agree with that. What would Patten say? What about Ike? Makes you sick, just sick.

So, let’s get off our duffs and take our country back. It will take years, but we have to start somewhere.

This is beginning to sound more and more like an international version of Fast & Furious!

Because that's exactly what it is.

Which makes even creepier those "We've got your back!" vote-for-Obama commercials. As Glenn Beck pointed out, those commercials never say that Obama's got our backs.

“There’s a conspiracy on-line that claims that the real reason for the delay, the disastrous coverup-the whole debacle, is that Obozo had planned, with the terrorists to capture the ambasador and then use him as an excuse to trade the “blind sheik” for our guy, and in two strokes, give them back their “martyr” and make Obozo the “hero of the day” thru his “natural rapport” with the moose-limb world.”

Do they really think that releasing the architect of the first WTC bombing, negotiating with terrorists, would help 0 in the polls? I think this is a pretty silly conspiracy theory.
