Not even willing to try. The poster is obviously too stupid to understand.

I think he must have forgotten to mark it as sarcasm.

Panetta’s idiot and cowardly remark about not knowing the risks should be countered by asking, if they all believed this was a demonstration, what was the risk from protestors?

Stupid, lying A-holes.

Benghazi has the MSM in full, sheer, panic. They are still doing everything they can to ignore it, but it’s leaking out in so many different ways, they can’t stop them all.

Almost every day, there is another revelation, another email, another leak... More questions, more people wondering just what in the hell is going on.

I am personally convinced that one of the reasons they are hyping Sandy so much is simple distraction. Oh yeah, it’s a big nasty storm all right, but it’s not the world-ending game changer they are making it out to be.

Fortunate timing, though.

I’ve never been so sorry for participating in a thread in my life.

I am so sorry for all the harm that I have done.

STOP SENDING ME FREEPMAIL!

okay....

MT, why can’t it be like I suggested?

Say, Boehner....or McConnell lead the charge on Benghazi? You know, the ELECTED airheads? Or does McCain have more influence with the Indies than those who didn’t get beat by a moron in the last election?

I’m done.

Again, please, you know who you are....leave me alone. I’ve already apologized though in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, I just put my tongue in cheek and tried to be clever.

I am so sorry.

You were clever. No need to be upset. The times are such that it can be difficult to determine sarcasm from reality.

Long past time to break up “Big Media”!

The big three are run by leftist and the control all of the narrative.

That should be job one after the dust settles.

McCain, personally, knows what happens to our warriors when our government abandons them.

The procedures our SpecOps, Navy, Air Force and Army set up to rescue endangered Embassy personnel have been around for decades.

They get refined and updated as our Spec Ops and their backups obtain better equipment, faster/better humint and elint.

Our military was ready and waiting for their authorization from our Faux POTUS, the traitor in the Outhouse, which never came.

Obozo refused to pull the pin and authorize the rescue. He went to bed to prepare for a hard fund raising trip to Vegas.

Then, he and his evil minions lied and good Americans died.

Below is the link to Travis’s explanation of how this would work unless the POTUS Traitor doesn’t authorize the final actions.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2951160/posts?page=5#5

“Now I was only a LT for 5 years active duty in NavSpecWar, but it was imprinted deeply upon my brain that ONLY the POTUS can give cross-border permission. Probably a million living ex-military officers know this like they know 2+2=4. This Benghazi fiasco is Obama’s baby 100% and there is no way for him to wiggle out.

The system is designed to ENSURE that when a crisis is happening, (and a missing ambassador with a consulate under attack is “Crisis Level Infinity”), and military assets are already charging in to the rescue, the president must be in the loop to grant the the cross-border authorization.

Nobody else can do this. This one formality must be followed, “just put your intitials here, Mr. President, for history,” so to speak. Boiler plate, but it must be done.

(Can you imagine Reagan or either Bush saying “No. Cross border permission not granted. Stop the rescue. Stand down.”)

The POTUS has to tell the Sec. State and JCS, “Yes, do it, execute the rescue, cross the borders.” Then it WILL happen, without delay, since the military is already on the way, flying in from all directions toward Benghazi.

But if POTUS says at 5pm DC time, “No military action, no crossing the border,” and then he becomes “unavailable,” then his last standing order stands until he changes it.

So if he went to bed, for example, nobody could change his standing orders.

I imagine that a lot of extreme military, CIA and State Dept. craziness was going down while Obama was sleeping. Aircraft must be told proceed, or return to base, or they fall from the sky. I imagine many HEATED arguments around the globe on phone, text and email, subject, “Well wake the damn president up!” Followed by, “I can’t! You MUST stand down the mission!”

Just imagine dozens of inbound planes, jets and helos. Ships moving at full speed into position to be “lilypads” for long-range over-water helo refueling. Airborne refueling tankers all head to the area. It’s a complicated ballet. The Pentagon is wide awake, the military is on full alert.

The rescue is in process, from the first minutes after the alarm.

Everybody in all the planes and involved HQs knows how many minutes/miles to the Libyan border, Benghazi, and their “bingo fuel” moment, when they must turn around or run dry and crash. Ships can “loiter,” but planes fall from the sky.

So you can imagine why General Ham of Africom was relieved for refusing to stand down. He probably KNEW Obama was “unavailable,” and was screaming over the phone, “Well, wake him up, dammit!!”

Planes and jets and helicopters and ships and commando teams are zooming all around the central Med, keying in on Benghazi——

In that environment, OBAMA WAS ASLEEP AND UNREACHABLE!!!!! Resting up for Las Vegas! With a MISSING AMBASSADOR, in Al-Queadatown!

Anybody not furious is a vegetable.”


Grampa Dave’s closing comments: Anyone not furious about this, is an A$$hole and doesn’t belong on this site.

In my opinion any orders would have to start from the WHITEHOUSE to stand down. No General or Admiral would be able to do that alone. It all falls on the President, and he was asleep at the wheel, like he has been his whole term of office.

Well, it entirely depends. Here in Atlanta, even if MANY people DO know, they could care less, which I’m convinced more than half have absolutely no idea, because they don’t watch Fox or listen to Rush or watch “DEFace the Nation”...they MAYBE watch the NBC nightly news with Brian Williams, or CBS or ABC and they don’t say a peep about the cover-up. They rarely mention the investigation AT ALL and when they do it’s laced with words like “partisan politics”...blah blah blah.

My mother and I watched some of Fox and decided to peek at the liberal rags to see how THEY are handling it and just as I suspected, they simply CAN NOT help themselves...it’s QUITE stunning!!!!!!! MORE surreal than the storm, more surreal than the cover-up is watching in real time the treasonous liberal media and realizing we’re witnessing and indeed living through in real-time, loss of the remnants of Western Civilization. Stunned at comments from Andrew Cuomo about climate change and this being the new normal for NYC and hurricanes.

As I’m typing this, there’s actually some clown named Ari Melber on the Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell (is this Rosie’s brother, anyone know????) talking about Romney lying about Jeep, after comparing Romney via the DeMoines paper with Nixon and how he could be arrested for this level of lying...

My mother was watching Rachel the Madcow prior to this and said this is depressing, and I didn’t know there were people this f’ed up in the world!!! OF COURSE this is someone who lived through the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK, the attempt on Reagan, Watergate, etc.

I noticed Romney was harrassed while he had his sleeves up moving food onto trucks, while Obama was essentially doubling down to read a teleprompter as he’s never read a teleprompter before!

Meanwhile the liberals have been screaming about putting politics on the back burner during times of crisis, but reflect back on how they treated Bush during Katrina, and now of course they are projecting their behavior onto Romney!

NOW on the Ed Show, Ed states he is going to politicize the storm...more class warfare. Yawn, nothing to see here.
