| Normally, I have no difficulty writing this column. I see it as a way to provide busy readers a coherent narrative of the best of the week's most important news -- largely as reported by the alternative media and ignored by its richer, fatter and lazier media opposition. This week is sadly different. The latest news coming out about the murder of our ambassador and three other brave Americans in Ben Ghazi is so horrifying and shocking I can take no pleasure in writing about it. It's still largely unreported by the legacy media.

Clarice Feldman at her most lucid (and that's saying something).
In all my years I have never seen such dishonorable conduct by some many so high in government.
Yes, Mr. President, do at least one honorable thing in your sordid career. Stand down.

Clarice's last few lines make me want to stand up and cheer.
Every time I think that the level of corruption, cowardice and sheer vulgarity of this entire Administration has reached its apex, there is yet another outrage to top the last. It's staggering.

As more is revealed I believe the charge of treason will be warranted. It remains to be seen if fellow Americans who know what happened (and why) have the courage to speak out.

NY Post has the whole story online... CIA announced the Stand Down was not from them... Last night, the WH blogged that they did not order the Stand Down, essentially blaming the military !
Petraeus is on Meet The Press this am... I can't see him sit idly by as the WH blames his brethren. Hope he makes news.

I'll bet Valerie Jarrett's fingerprints are all over this. After all, she controls Barry. I heard a Republican criticizing the administration, and Axelrod had the audacity to say that the Rep. had no business talking about it since he had never served in the military. Well, neither have Obama, Hillary, or Valerie or Rice and I am not sure about Pannetta.

Panetta’s bios says he served in the Army from ’64 to ’66. But who really knows? Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) lied about serving in Vietnam but the voters elected him anyway. Sen. Mark Kirk (D-IL) was caught lying about his military record but was elected anyway. I figure Panetta has an embellished military resume. He had lots of training in the art of ambiguity and spin as Slick Willy’s WH chief of staff from ’93-’97. Most Dem politicians are dishonorable liars, yet they are continually elevated to higher office by voters or presidential appointments.

Leon Panetta was a not very good Congressman by ANY standard, for longer than he should have been. He is, was and will always be a nothing-burger-bureaucrat looking for a place to land. IMHO, he has no more business being Secretary of Defense than Gen. Petraeus has being CIA Director. Which, BTW is most likely why they were both appointed to those positions.. Thanks for the info #10, we'll be watching to see what the General says, or even more important does NOT say about the latest debacle of the criminal-enterprise, A/K/A the obama-administration..

Excellent column. Excellent headline.
The natural instincts of any decent human being who sees anyone, even an animal, in danger is to do whatever they can to help. We hear countless stories of heroes, from the very young to the very old, coming to the aid of those in harm's way. We hear stories of animals heeding their instincts to come to the aid of those in danger. But, this cold, calculating, self-serving "leader" of the free world, who has the power to say the word and send help to anyone anywhere, without harm to himself, refused help to those whom it is his duty to protect, and prevented others, over whom he has power, from doing their duty and following their instincts to help our own.
We, the people in this country, still have the power to elect our leaders. We have the power to hold them accountable. This country is in as much in danger of being destroyed, under our current leadership, as that consulate in Benghazi. We have One who watches over all of us in real time, and has the ultimate power to save us. May we humbly turn to him for help, wisdom, and guidance to save our country, just as our founders and framers did to build it. And, may we do what is right in his sight.

That the media - whose job it is to hold the government's feet to the fire - is complicit in the administration's attempts to make Benghazi disappear disgusts me. Nowadays we must fend for ourselves on the internet since honesty is being buried by those who traditionally have been entrusted to find and tell us the truth.

"Stand Down, Obama and your administration. All of you. Stand Down. You've failed to carry out your responsibilities of office. You treated American lives, including that of an ambassador -- the official representative of your country -- with utter disregard for their safety. You've lied to us about this tragedy so many times and in so many ways you can no longer credibly lead. You're crass and vulgar and without regard for truth, law or common decency and deserve to be drummed out of office."
Could not say it better.

Amen, #19. Your words will stay with me through these next few trying days. We have issued our call for help at this time, with our humility and apologies for ignoring the True One in the past - it seems now as if our prayers and call for help may be answered. If not, we will have much more to do and very little time for it.
There is much analogy here....
I ***believe*** our highest Commander will come to our assistance in our time of national crisis. But we have to be true.

When President Romney takes office, he must not pull a Gerald Ford and pardon Obama.
For the record, I agree that Ford was right to pardon Nixon. I won't go into the reasons why, but suffice it to say - Nixon was no Obama. Nixon was a true patriot and loved our country.
This horrendous, murder of our Ambassador and three other Americans, which could have been prevented by a simple command to save them, must be prosecuted to the fullest extent.
As I have stated on other threads over the last two days, Obama and his cohorts are an accessory to murder, and their punishment should correspond to that crime. The famous picture of those who killed Lincoln being hanged comes to mind.

Make it your goal to get one person who you personally know, and who is not voting, to vote for Romney/Ryan. Or, to persuade one person who is voting for Obama, not to vote. If everyone of us does all of the above, we can get these dishonest, dishonorable, crude and un-American people out of our government. At least for awhile.

Start forwarding this piece to the MSM, especially the NYT and WaPo. Suggest that maybe, if they tried covering the news, or writing editorial pieces like this, they would have some credibility.
Since the MSM won't cover it, start tweeting the link to this story, and posting it on Facebook.
I didn't think anything Joe Bite Me could do would shock me, but what he said to Mr. Woods was sadly typical of this administration, and it is shocking.

Glad to see this is a 'Must Read' because...
...it is a must read. Clear. Insightful.
There are still details that have not been disclosed, for whatever reasons. Today, there was a link to a blog, closed for obvious and publicly posted reasons, that said that two Seals were responsible for saving 20 lives and killing 60 attackers before dying themselves. Doesn't that sound like the kind of detail we should have? Doesn't that sound like a little support could have made all the difference? What are the ROEs for staff?
Don't let this get buried and, yes, impeach. If there's truth to this: Impeach.

This catastrophe was followed 3 days later by an attack on a NATO air base in Afghanistan that resulted in the death of senior Marine Commander and the destruction on the ground of 8 Harrier jump jets. Our Commander in Chief is incapable of protecting our men and our assets. He needs to be voted out of office and then examined for criminal and civil charges.

#21, very good points. The Choomgangsta won’t even help his Aunt Zeituni and Uncle Onyango, both in the US illegally. Oh wait, they haven’t been deported yet and are still free loading, so he might have intervened somehow. And half brother George is still living in a shack in Kenya, Seems like a caring, compassionate CIC would at least bring his kinfolks into the WH and let them share free room and board with his mother-in law.
If he ignores his own flesh and blood, why would he care about anyone else, including protecting our own citizens from terrorist attacks, a la Benghazi?

Posters are wrong here. A bad military decision or even ignoring Americans in peril is not grounds for impeachment. 0bama has plenty of laws he has broken that ARE grounds for impeachment and they are being ignored. However, this kind of behavior routinely gets generals and other officers fired and as the (alleged) CIC 0bama MUST be fired this election. I'm wondering why there aren't people in the (smallish) crowds at 0bama rallies starting to call him a murderer.

The Benghazi abandonment of the ambassador is eerily similar to the scene in The Godfather where Don Corleone should have been surrounded by security but Michael found him in an empty hospital with assassins on the way. Who would want the ambassador dead or captured? The Libyans certainly didn't issue the orders to stand down. There is big treachery afoot here and the regime didn't have time to coordinate the lies.

Ms Feldman expresses the horror and shock so many decent Americans feel at the blood soaked indecency of this administration.

I recall that the Black Hawk Down fiasco in Somalia under Clinton convinced the islamicists that America was a paper tiger. They believed that all that was necessary to make America run was a few casualties. This will renew them in that belief and encourage them to be more aggressive. They are going around bragging publicly about defeating America. It is only the useless president they have defeated but they will not understand that in their arrogance! Many more will die before the fallout of this failure to act is overcome!

I appreciate all of these elequent comments on an excruciatingly profound Clarice essay, because i am so angry and heartbroken that words come haltingly.
The total failure of establishment media to hound the BO regime for the truth is deplorable and an outrage against the Constitution.
The Founders had put so much trust in the media being the guardians of the People. What a joke are the old, tired, effete media... only FOX is an exception, but then, FOX is not really one of the "in crowd media."
There is, of course, the "new media" for which we are so grateful.
Sadly and dangerously, a great many people still rely on the establishment media. Their folly; our chagrin.
Liberty hangs in the balance when Truth is a worthless commodity for a majority of people. We need to demonstrate that TRUTH is the ESSENTIAL commodity.
The day after the murderous violence in Benghazi, Obama, with haggard Hillary by his side, makes a platitudinous speech about 9/11 and generalizes about terrorism. Then he flies off to Reno, etc., for fund-raising and campaigning, and days and days and nights, lots of 'em, of fun and frivolity on comedy shows.
--doesn't this say all we need to know about the man?
Important "specials" on FOX.

These walking talking full colostomy bags in the WH situation room remind me of what I used to tell my nubile daughters when they were dating. I would ask them if they knew how to tell when an adolescent boy was lying. They would usually respond negatively and I would tell them that his lip are moving. With the obama group, when they have sound coming out of their mouths and their lips are moving, you know that they are lying.

The latest polls show that President Obama´s approval ratings are in free fall like a hot air balloon with the fire extinguished; his approval rating has declined eight percentage points over the past month. CNN reporter Chris Cuomo described the decline as "dropping like a stone." Lara Brown of U.S. News and World Report, declared, "The Obama presidency becomes more Grant than Lincoln every day." Even his standing as a "leader" has shown a six-percentage-point drop among those who think he is a decisive and strong leader. Worse, CNN reports that half of the public no longer trust the president

I have always believed that regardless of the laws of a nation, the social fabric that binds it is woven of mutual trust between the people and their private and governmental institutions. Once that fabric is weakened, the dangers to an ordered society are extreme. This week, the holes in the U.S. social fabric are manifest, and they are caused by the administration´s ever-expanding lawlessness.. The statements by the high-tech self-exile Snowden set off alarms even among those who are willing to repose their confidence in the general integrity of our intelligence services.

Greg Gutfeld opened the June 6th broadcast of The Five by talking about the IRS scandal and asking "What can we do as Americans right now? This seems like a golden opportunity to go after a bloated bureaucracy, clean it out and create something." The answer is to spark a national protest demanding limited government by doing 3 things: First, unhide our taxes. Even the 47% who don´t pay federal income tax pay taxes. During the 2012 Presidential campaign, Mitt Romney said "There are 47% of the people who will vote for the president, no matter what..."

With serious and demonstrable charges of administration wrongdoing popping up every day, conservatives are rightfully angry at the desultory treatment they get from the media. At Just One Minute, the poster known as "daddy" summarizes that feeling well: Worth mentioning how the NY Times and the WaPo and Andrea Mitchell and ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN etc, were all so interested in Sarah Palin´s Emails, that they recruited volunteers across the nation to help them pore thru them. Yet when Lisa Jackson specifically uses false email aliases like "Richard Windsor" (unethically and probably illegally) to conduct Government business, and Sebelius today is discovered

Eric Holder -- Obama´s Attorney General -- should be impeached by the Republican House of Representatives. Without a doubt, Holder´s obvious perjury in lying to Congress is the most serious offense. But to understand one of Holder´s underlying offenses (in a long string), one must know the difference between "good law" and "bad law." Under the letter of the law, the search warrant for Fox News reporter James Rosen´s emails appears proper. But the Attorney General defied U.S. Supreme Court precedents.

As the late Senator Daniel Moynihan reportedly said, "[e]veryone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts." The commentary on the George Zimmerman case, I´ve noticed, gets edgy when those who know the facts argue with those who venture opinions. The facts that follow are the ones with which both the defense and the prosecutor must contend. Late Sunday night, February 26, 2012, George Zimmerman sat down in front of Sanford Police Department (SPD) detectives and wrote out in longhand his own account of the shocking incident that had just left him rattled and bloody.

Two things caught my attention this week: first, the ridiculous way Democrat partisans, erroneously appointed by President George W. Bush to government positions from which they exercised their power, to undercut Republicans are by reason of the Bush appointment tagged "bipartisan" by the media. Secondly, the widespread ignorance of the Bill of Rights and their obligations by oath to obey the Constitution by government lawyers in Washington and at the state level. Two "bipartisan" exemplars are James Comey, whom President Obama nominated this week to head the FBI and Douglas Shulman, whom Bush had appointed to head the IRS

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

Is Marco Rubio, R-Fla., getting played by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.? During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
