What does "Show of Force" mean?

Didn't the good Kerry give cover for the Dems for a long time, then became dean of a very Liberal university?

Deebow, Deebow, Deebow. I am afraid you have been absorbing the Koolaid. Kerry threw someone else's medals away.

"This does not mean there wasn't a protest over a video, it just means that there were two concurrent events. One involved a lot of people, but caused no direct loss of US life, and one involved fewer people, but was a clear terrorist act." Read the narrative. Ambassador Stephens concluded a meeting with a Turkish diplomat at 8:30 pm. The street was clear when the diplomat departed. At 9:30 pm the attack started. There was no demonstration.

All was forgiven when Obama and Christie embraced.

PS: Re Benghazi: Early on a journalist interviewed one of the Libyan defence team a captain X. He said that during the attack someone shouted out something like "Don't shoot, Morsi sent me." A few days later one of the "alleged" attackers was killed in Egypt. Hmm. getting rid of the evidence?

" After calling for answers from the White House, David Ignatius caves on Benghazi:" Ret7Army. I find myself agreeing with ChowLine on this one. Ignatius ends his article with "... While there were multiple errors that led to the final tragedy, there's no evidence [Yet] that the White House or CIA leadership deliberately delayed or impeded rescue efforts.", which mirrors the White House/State responses until they stopped talking. Obama and Hillary changed their stories as new information was discovered by outsiders. Maybe we need to check the CIA dictionary for the definitions of deliberately and impeded. Fox's Katherine Herridge, stands by her story that CIA operators at the Annex were told to stay put. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/26/cia-operators-were-denied-request-for-help-during-benghazi-attack-sources-say/ Will the truth have to wait for the release of NSA intercepts?

I thought Gen Ham's comment that nobody asked him to deploy military forces was a little strange. His comment could be a subtle way of not saying he was ordered to stand down.

If it wasn't for the lead times mentioned above. 20,000 missing ground to air missiles and Somalia might have been a factor.

TypePad HTML Email Sorry for the delay.PJMedia/Tatler has the following: "Gen. David Petraeus. He’s currently the head of the CIA, widely credited with winning the war in Iraq. On Sept 13, as a commenter on the Infinite Spin post pointed out, Petraeus told members of Congress that he believed that the Benghazi sacking happened because of the YouTube video. [A]n official said, “No one … believed that the mortars, indirect and direct fire, and the RPGs were just the work of a mob — no one.” Yet a congressional source told Fox News that CIA Director David Petraeus, during a briefing with members of the House Intelligence Committee three days after the attack, espoused the view that Benghazi was an out-of-control demonstration prompted by the YouTube video. According to the source, this was “shocking” to some members who were present and saw the same intelligence pointing toward a terrorist attack." http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2012/10/11/you-know-who-still-hasnt-called-benghazi-a-terrorist-attack/

"To go along with #4 - Keep the JAG's, REMFs, and other assorted assholes in the States." A few years ago the Top Jag was pushing to get an extra star because of the increase in the number of JAGs.

Petraeus gave an intelligence briefing to Congress where he used the now discredited spontaneous demonstration meme. So much for professionalism.

Perspective. 1.9 billion Muslims and how many protesters.

PS: What about VP Biden with his bumper sticker comment "GM is alive Osama is dead"

"what WILL a high budget widely released Hollywood movie glorifying the US President killing the leader of a worldwide Islamic movement do?" One channel, I think it was the Military History Channel, until recently, ran adds constantly for its killing Osama documentary.

These guys must have received training from Abbas and his cronies. Hey! this may be a good sign, the US comparing what is said in English with what is said in Arabic.

I just watched the video. What's the problem?

"I was surprised that the author said they rehearsed the mission a hundred times." Maybe this was because the mission was put on hold a number of times.

Along the same lines, the new EU museum describes WWII as a European civil War. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-2131484/House-European-History-museum-EU-serious.html

There is an alternate reason to leaking information in support of Obama's reelection campaign, but that doesn't bear thinking about.

There is an alternate reason for leaking the information, but that would be unthinkable.

The programs Obama refers to are: "• Education (Obama: “There was a great teacher somewhere in your life.” Warren: “You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate.”) • Transportation (Obama: “Somebody invested in roads and bridges.” Warren: “You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for.”) • Public Safety (Warren: “You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.” Obama: “There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own.”) • The Internet (Obama: “Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.”)" These programs (including all of Defense (the internet)) amount to less than 25% of spending: "Department of Defense 18.74% Department of Transportation 2.05% Department of Education 1.32% Department of Homeland Security 1.21% Department of Justice 0.67% National Science Foundation 0.20% TOTAL: 23.4%" That leaves the remaining 75% to reduce government spending. http://pjmedia.com/zombie/2012/07/18/the-ultimate-takedown-of-obamas-you-didnt-build-that-speech/?singlepage=true

He may have spoken poorly but honestly.

A timely quote from Atlas Shrugged (60 Year's old): “He didn’t invent iron ore and blast furnaces, did he?” “Who?” “Rearden. He didn’t invent smelting and chemistry and air compression. He couldn’t have invented his Metal but for thousands and thousands of other people. His Metal! Why does he think it’s his? Why does he think it’s his invention? Everybody uses the work of everybody else. Nobody ever invents anything.” She said, puzzled, “But the iron ore and all those other things were there all the time. Why didn’t anybody else make that Metal, but Mr. Rearden did?” Page One, Chapter Nine. http://pointsandfigures.com/2012/07/18/kind-of-timely-fiction-meets-reality/ By the way, I happen to think that reading all of what Obama said makes it worse not better.

I bet they have a US Government grant to do this. Probably authorized by one of their friends in the justice Department. This is of course only fair and reasonable as it is highly likely the same friends in the Justice Department will not provide a defense to the case.
