Military expert Paula Broadwell, who was allegedly improperly involved with resigned CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus, confirmed in October that the CIA annex in Benghazi asked for reinforcements when the consulate came under attack on September 11 Broadwell was speaking at her alma mater, the University of Denver, on October 26. Her lecture, which is on YouTube under the title "Alumni Symposium 2012 Paula Broadwell," now has added value, because based on the recent disclosures, it can now be assumed that she indeed knew exactly what it was that Petraeus knew about the attack. Broadwell confirmed the reports on Fox...

Pic at link. In this article the name is spelled KELLY, but that is just a misspelling. If you good her husband, his name is Dr. Scott Kelley with the extra 'e'

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's office was notified of the attack 50 minutes after it began, and Panetta learned of it shortly thereafter as he and the military's top general headed to a previously scheduled meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House. Obama, Panetta and Army General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, discussed potential responses to the unfolding events in Benghazi during their meeting, which began 78 minutes after the start of the Libya attack, according to the timeline. Panetta and Dempsey then returned to the Pentagon and began a two-hour series of meetings...

The Pentagon has just released their version of the 9/11 timeline and I think it is very interesting and damning to Obama. Specifically, we know that Panetta, Obama, Biden, and Donilon were at the White House for a previously scheduled 5 pm meeting. The attack had been going on for 50 minutes before Panetta was notified, and he was aware it was ongoing ..........................Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and his top military adviser were notified of the attack about 50 minutes after it began and were about to head into a previously scheduled meeting with President Barack Obama. The meeting quickly...

We need to come to grips with what the democrats are doing. They have cracked the code and the implications for our country are too terrible to contemplate. The democrats are about power, first and foremost. They could care less who sits in the White House. As long as they can get their liberal, socialist agenda enacted, they are fine with whomever occupied the White House. The democrats have cracked the code. They know they will get 90% plus of the black vote, 70% plus of the hispanice vote, and 40% or so of the white vote. With the changing...

Candy Crowley ruined the second debate with her interference, CBS withheld damning video of Obama on 9/12 denying the Benghazi attack was terrorism. Romney was thrown off his game by the MSM covering for Obama. After Sandy, Chris Christie injected himself into the campaign by shamelessly giving Obama wet sloppy kisses when he toured the Jersey shore after Sandy. I think this may have hurt Romney more than we all know, because the MSM ran three straight days of Christie/Obama giving each other wet sloppy kisses.

Wisconsin is example A of how screwed up our country is. Two years ago, we elected Scott Walker and Tea Party Senator Ron Johnson. The Republicans took over both the state assembly and state senate. In short, two years ago, the Republicans took our state back. Tonight, our state voted to send the flaming liberal lesbian Tammy Baldwin to the US Senate, and re-elected Obama as POTUS. Despite that, tonight we also re-elected all our incumbent Republican US House members (republicans control 5 out of 8 House seats), added two seats to the Republican majority in the state senate, and...

It is being reported that Democratic Party operatives are evicting court-appointed Republican poll watchers from polling places in Philadelphia. Specifically, this reportedly has happened in Ward 32, Div 13; Ward 43, Div 14; Ward 56, Div 1; Ward 56, Div 22; Ward 32, Div 28; Ward 32, Div 28; Ward 12, Div 17; Ward 39, Div 1; Ward 24, Div 9; Ward 18, Div 25; Ward 43, Div 14; Ward 29, Div 18; Ward 65, Div 19; Ward 20, Div 1; and Ward 6, Div 11. The idea is to kick out the Republicans, then stuff the box with ballots...

On election day in Wisconsin the political winds will be blowing from the south at 5 to 15 mph. The forecast calls for a wintry mix of rain and snow in the south with an inch or more of snow in northern Wisconsin, leading to perhaps the chilliest election day in the Milwaukee area in more than three decades. If surveys and recent historical data of presidential election turnouts are correct, the crummy weather may make Mitt Romney and other Republican candidates smile. Surveys of voters show weather is often a factor in their decision to head to the polls....

In 2008 the weather in Milwaukee was 73 and sunny. In 2012, the high will be 43 and rainy, windy. The college kids will hopefully stay home tomorrow along with the other low information voters.

Have no fear FReepers, we will win Wisconsin and there are a lot good reasons why. 1. Wisconsin is ultimate purple state. In 2000 Gore won the state by less than 5,000 votes out of 2.7 million votes cast. Kerry won in 2004 by only 11,000 votes out of 2.9 million votes cast. 2008 was unusual because Obama won by 412,000 votes out of 2.9 million votes cast. 2. Fast forward to 2012, and the recall election on June 5th. Scott Walker was the devil incarnate to the public employee unions and the Democrats in this state. They went ALL...

Whether things play out that way on Tuesday — and whether the Romney camp’s play for the state was in fact a decision made in light of the candidate’s rising momentum after the first debate — remains to be seen. Democrats, naturally, had a different take. Late Sunday, just as Romney touched down in the state, the Obama campaign emailed out to the press a report that Republicans had only invested money in advertising in the Keystone State because the airwaves elsewhere in the country were already saturated. But if early reports from volunteers on the rally’s size were any...

President Barack Obama visited the Badger state for the second time in less than a week, and brought pop star Katy Perry with him. The singer played some of her greatest hits before President Obama took the stage Saturday afternoon. The President addressed a crowd of around 20,000 people at the Delta Center in downtown Milwaukee.

<p>FEMA's vaunted "lean forward" strategy that called for advanced staging of supplies for emergency distribution failed to live up to its billing in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.</p> <p>In fact, the agency appears to have been completely unprepared to distribute bottled water to Hurricane Sandy victims when the storm hit this Monday. In contrast to its stated policy, FEMA failed to have any meaningful supplies of bottled water -- or any other supplies, for that matter -- stored in nearby facilities as it had proclaimed it would on its website. This was the case despite several days advance warning of the impending storm.</p>

The order was put out as long lines formed Saturday after Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that the Defense Department was opening mobile fuel stations in New York City and on Long Island The government says the public should stay away from free New York fuel stations until emergency responders get their gas. Long lines of vehicles and pedestrians formed Saturday after Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that the U.S. Department of Defense was opening the mobile fuel stations in New York City and on Long Island. The state Division of Military and Naval Affairs then issued an advisory asking the public...

The U.S. Senate race in Ohio remains a close one. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Ohio Voters shows Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown and his Republican challenger Josh Mandel each earning 48% support. Two percent (2%) like some other candidate, and another two percent (2%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.) (Want a free daily e-mail update?

The survey of 750 Likely Voters in Ohio was conducted on November 1, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin...

Several thousand supporters of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney have already assembled inside the Products Pavilion at State Fair Park Friday morning, with thousands more lined up outside. The pavilion holds some 4,000 people and Romney organizers have lined up overflow space in another building. The Romney rally comes on the heels of polls that show a tight race in Wisconsin. President Barack Obama, who was in Ashwaubenon Thursday, is due to return to Wisconsin Saturday for a rally in Milwaukee and Monday for a rally in Madison. "We want to make sure we lock it in and it's definitely...

Wisconsin is going to be VERY close. Within a point either way, no matter what the polls say. Results for recent elections are these: 2000 POTUS 2.7 million voted Gore won by 5,000 votes 2004 POTUS 2.9 million voted Kerry won by 11,000 votes 2008 POTUS 2.9 million voted Obama won by 414,000 votes 2012 Walker recall 2.5 million voted Walker won by 171,00 0 votes So as you can see, Dems have won last three POTUS elections, but Walker won the 2010 Governor election and 2012 June 5, recall election. The untold story of the recall war is that...

When President Barack Obama urged Americans under siege from Hurricane Sandy to stay inside and keep watch on ready.gov for the latest, he left out something pretty important — where to turn if the electricity goes out. Despite the heightened expectation of widespread power and cable television failures, everyone from the president to local newscasters seem to expect the public to rely entirely on the Internet and their TVs for vital news and instructions. A call to FEMA’s news desk, however, found even they didn’t have any non-Internet information readily available beyond suggestions that people call 911 in an emergency....

For those of you interested in how BarryObi thinks the race is going in the Badger State, I would tell you to be cautiously optimistic. As a close follower of the previous elections, I posted earlier stats on the 2000, 2004, 2008 POTUS elections, and the June 6, 2012 Gov Walker recall election. In 2000 Gore won the state by 5,000 votes out of 2.7 million cast In 2004 Kerry won by 11,000 out of 2.9 million cast In 2008 Obama won by 400,000 votes out of 2.9 million votes cast. In June 2012, Scott Walker won the recall election...
