| They fought for their lives for seven hours. 9/11/ 2012. Benghazi. The White House watched. No help was sent and they died. Four Americans died in the jihadi attack on our consulate in Benghazi. Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, two retired SEALS who were working as civilian security specialists in Benghazi, learned that Ambassador Stevens and nine other people at the consulate were under attack and rushed to their defense. The fourth man was Sean Smith, father of three, an Air Force veteran, working for the State Department in Libya.

Comments: The one name that has been consistently absent from any of the coverage is Valerie Jarrett, yet she is reportedly the person who persuaded Obama to postpone the bin Laden operation. What, if any, was her involvement in this?

Forget about Valerie Jarrett or anyone else other than The President - WHAT DID HE KNOW AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT - Who sent Carney and Rice out to LIE -Who gave the Order for the requests for assistance to be denied, etc., etc.
These questions should be asked of The President and his Flunkies all day, every day - the Mainstream Media should be asked all day, every day, why they refuse to ask Obama and his Flunkies these questions all day, every day - Four Americans are dead - Our Pathetic Excuse for a President schedules Campaign Appearances and Fundraisers instead of Press Conferences and National Security Meetings- This Administration and these Media are Disgraceful

I want to throw up just from reading the headline. Dear God in heaven, the sheer horror of this story just keeps growing and growing and growing. I gotta stop thinking about it and trust the wisdom and power of God Almighty to bring about justice. And trust in Him to deliver our country from those who would destroy it.

It is not enough that Speaker Boehner write to the WH demanding to see everything they have. The WH will stall. Go to Boehner's website, send an email telling him we want ACTION on this travesty by Monday morning - on the floor of the House. It's his house and he's responsible to us to do something. The whole d*#n administration should be hung. Boehner needs to be so loud the MSM is forced to listen. Maybe we also need an orchestrated protest.

This is as bad as the betrayal of our troops in Vietnam by Johnson and Nixon. Only the President could make the decision for everybody to sit around on their butts and do nothing but watch the show on TV. Obama is a man without honor. Totally without honor. He and other liberals who never served in the military and don't know the business end of a gun shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the oval office. I watched an interview today where Charles Lane of the WaPo said that the President didn't want to send any support to Benghazi because some of those troops might get hurt. Good grief! He doesn't even begin to understand that warriors are not afraid of getting hurt, they only want to fight for the folks and honor the flag of their country. To abandon an American Ambassador to a mob is criminal conduct. God help us if this coward in reelected.

The thing is, Obama went to bed that night. Knowing our citizens were under attack for 7 hours. The reason people keep bringing up Valerie Jarrett is because there is good reason to believe she is the one who kept refusing to kill Osama bin Laden. A shadowy advisor to POTUS making national security decisions. Why would Benghazi be any different? Obama didn't even attend his National Securi briefing on September 12, he jetted off to Vegas, though.
Who ever is doing the leaking is doing America a favor. I am sure they only trust FOX. What the he.. Does that say about America's own Pravda media? I've been reading on left wing blogs and twitter, libs are discounting this b/ c it's from FOX.
Where in the heck are John Boehner and other elected Republicans? Good grief, is it too much to ask that they stand up for this country?

This is unacceptable!! #15, I wouldn't put a lot of blame on Nixon.,,,he did get us out of Vietnam--but I do blame LBJ because his companies had exclusive contracts in the war zone. He kept the war going for his own personal gain. Just as Zero let these men die for political gain. Sick! Treason!

So, he sat there and did nothing as four Americans were slowly, brutally murdered by Islamic terrorists.

It's becoming clearer since Panetta said what he said which was basically we didn't know if it was safe enough to send rescue troops in.If they did that and some troops got killed then that's a more disastrous headline than simply 4 people being sacrificed at the altar of Obama's re-election. It was strictly a political calculation not to send in troops.
That's what the troops are really for the protect Americans.
Then you had the prospects of Libyans being killed by American troops which would have blown Obama's "AlQueda is dead" banter.

From this article, it seems that Obama knew "in real time" what was going on. Yet he chose to do nothing.
As Rush said, he is cold, and I believe he could stand by and do nothing. Isn't Obama the one who picks out which Islamist the drones are going to kill? And haven't they killed hundreds on Obama's say-so?
O'Reilly and Geraldo are both saying that Obama couldn't have been in the know, that it's wrong to say he didn't act. BOR actually said he knows how the WH works, and Obama couldn't have been the one not to act.

The Peter Principle is a belief that, in an organization where promotion is based on achievement, success, and merit, that organization's members will eventually be promoted beyond their level of ability.
The principle is commonly phrased, "employees tend to rise to their level of incompetence." In more formal parlance, the effect could be stated as: employees tend to be given more authority until they cannot continue to work competently.
Obviously the 'Peter Principle' has been replaced by the 'Obama Principle' ... Start at the top and work your way down.

Don't know if he watched it personally, but he sure did KNOW what was going on. If he were a Republican, the impeachment hearings would have already begun. Shame, shame. BTW, that "great" reporter, Geraldo Riviera also wants to know why Mitt Romney didn't DEMAND obama answer to what happened in Ben Ghazi. That is just one more sign of the ignorance on the left. Mitt Romney will be the next President, NOT the next Walter Cronkite. It is NOT his JOB to get into a spitting war with the liar-in-chief during a debate that is already weighed in obama's favor.

The Spaniards already boast some of the weirdest festivals in the world, such as the bull running of Pamplona and the world’s biggest tomato fight, but this one definitely tops the list. The annual Jarramplas Festival in Piornal involves hundreds of villagers attacking a man dressed in a devils mask with 15,000 turnips. The best part? No-one really knows why. A young man from the village is selected to be the 'Jarramplas' - the scape goat - and dresses up in a costume made from colourful strips of fabric, donning a devil-like mask with great horns and nose.

And I mean absurd in the most literal sense. We all know that the U.S. tax code is riddled with "loopholes", exemptions and deductions intended to incentivize certain activities. Many of these are of dubious provenance and questionable utility. But, there is one that is particularly ridiculous. As in, how can this possibly be thought of as a loophole? But, to the technocrats in the federal government, the tax you don´t have to pay on the value of rent you don´t have to pay because you own your home is a loophole. Read that last sentence again.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.” Source and text corrected by Staff.
