I couldn’t agree with you more, FRiend.

The media here in this country and their families are American’s also and you’d think they’d try to promote the U.S. instead of tearing it down as many of them do. It proves liberalism and leftism is a mental disorder.

I wonder that too. But note the deliberate pace of the attacks. I am speculating. Why are the “CIA 3”1 muzzeled? Why not just cut them loose? It was an attack. But why then? Why were we so powerless. Why did we let them die and then say “ What difference does it make? “ . This is A COVER UP of what they were there fore. We have cowards in our party who do not want to stand up on the intelligence oversight committees!! Secretary Gates is “off the reservation” but the biggie who knows is LEON PANETTA!! He knows what happened!!!

the nation’s top civilian and uniformed defense officials — headed for a previously scheduled Oval Office session with President Obama —

“Previously scheduled”? I thought they had to pull Obama off the golf course to bring him to the meeting?

Send the subpoena and if he doesn’t comply, send one of the alphabet organization’s SWAT teams with the US Marshals to convince him otherwise.

Not Obama. Either Hillary or Valarie. Obama is a figurehead organizer/spokesperson for others in the regime. I don’t believe his is very intelligent based on his constant need for TOTUS and complete lack of info about his performance in college.

I read that this was a scheduled meeting that evening, it took place just before 0bama disappeared that night and then went to Las Vegas the next morning for a fund raiser.

Here it is FRiend ... Read the Truth and Weep ... Only obama is authorized to order a Stand Down order. All three (obama, hillary, valerie) wanted our Heroes to Die, no doubt, though only obama has the authority to issue the order of Stand Down. obama issued the order or he delegated the order of Stand Down to hillary or valerie!

[miele man]

Thanks. I keep remembering the golf course type clothes he was wearing in the picture that was circulated showing the “leadership” from the “One” in, I guess, the “situation room”. What a crock.

[matt04]

Probably delegated it to someone to tell him what to do. He couldn’t us his community organizer skills and gave up and went to Vegas.

obama knew of the attack before he went to bed, if he went to bed, thus the order (more than likely) came from obama.

This will either be ignored completely or, forgotten by Friday.

[jazusamo]

I understand, with 0bummer it’s pretty safe to say he’s on the golf course, he’s got a love affair with it and he doesn’t have to take care of the menial business of running the country when he’s there. :)

Sometimes Death comes knocking and Death is what this administration and their minions carry ... Forward!

From the "must read all of it article"

Ham's declassified testimony further underscores that Obama's earliest briefing on Benghazi was solely to the effect that the incident was a terrorist attack, and raises once again the question of how the narrative about the offensive video, and a demonstration that never occurred, took root within the White House as the explanation for Benghazi.

And the answer is: ValJar.

[matt04]

Good point. Stand down order means he got get some sleep before the campaign stop. Use force means stay awake all night to deal with the situation and possibly mess up his campaign stop.

Originalbuckeye,

What did you see/read, and when did you see/read it?

[no-to-illegals]

Your point is better than mine ... bares repeating ...
Use force means stay awake all night to deal with the situation and possibly mess up his campaign stop.

"What went on in Libya that is so bad that the Democrats aren’t even worried about four murdered Americans?"

Treason. Giving aid (weapons) to our enemies (Al Quaida in Syria).
