| PHNOM PENH, Cambodia- President Barack Obama is sending Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to the Middle East in hopes that she can help mediate an end to bloody conflict in the region. A deputy White House national security adviser says Clinton will depart Tuesday from Cambodia, where she had accompanied Obama on a visit to Southeast Asia. Clinton will begin her Mideast diplomacy by meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. She also will meet with Palestinian officials in Ramallah before heading to Cairo to meet with leaders in Egypt.

A Republican SOS would have already been fired and be facing criminal charges.

She´ll offer another couple of billion to the mooooslim brotherhood and call it a day....

Notice that every time a crisis or incident occurs President Obama always delegates an individual to handle whatever has happened.
Then if that individual is shown by the liberal media to have succeeded, reality aside, Obama will then take credit, but if the individual cannot be shown to have succeeded, under the bus he or she goes.

So Obama sends one on the Arab (terrorist) best friend to tell Israel to just let their people die instead of defending themselves. I like the idea already expressed that they should bulldoze Gaza to the bedrock and then declare it a free fire zone. Shoot anything that moves in it. The Arabs cause their own problems; they let the wackjobs shoot rockets at the Israelis any do nothing to stop them and then act surprise when the IDF blows it up.
You just can’t fix stupid, you just need to eliminate it

She won´t be there to "mediate" anything, her mission is to demand of Israel that they stop the self defense measures because hamas is running scared. Barry promised to side with the muslims in any conflict but he has proven himself impotent in that job also. This mission has the makings of a huge failure for the 0bama administration but then, what else is new?

It´s real simple. It took a few days, but Hillary will tell Bibi that new arms supplies and parts which come from the US will not be forthcoming unless Israel conforms with a US-brokered ´peace.´ The Muslims will get billions in aid. End story.
I sincerely hope that the IDF has plenty of supplies put aside, that they can get parts/ammo through other channels and Bibi tells Hillary to go count every grain of sand in the Negev.

Hill will probably head straight to Israel because they are kind enough to not sneer in her face for being a female. This time the Israelis have the upper hand because Hamas is stunned that they wasted most of the missiles and rockets. Congress could have her flown back at any time to testify but why bother when they already know where the fault bucks stop. Besides can barry really go home and face Michelle after his star struck shuffle with the lovely little lady in what he called Burma?

The vast majority of Americans must have the IQ of 80 or below. Every time the US has any sort of majory emergency or calamity dometically or world wide, BO, MO SOS, DOD and numerous unelected and elected decision-making people are out-of-WDC, out of the country or on recess. Does anyone in the federal government who is paid by tax payers actually do any work in the US, other than engage in personal and privately profitable dalliances, with women, men, taxes, gifts, jaunts and junkets?
Why even have a government? Or bother paying taxes? All these grifters do is enjoy lavish vacays, expensive wine and dine, high-price whores, 2nd and 3rd homes in Newport, Bahamas and Zurich, no questions asked for kids and grankids into elite private colleges with 2.0 GPAs, and unbridled inside trader information in market manipulation and massive investor return.
We have lost for some time the "government of the people, for the people and by the people". The adage should be the government takes from the people for the government and by the government.
Regardless of party, who should ever care anymore what they do. They will fleece us blind and spend however they want.
Frankly stop voting, stop working (then you do not have to pay taxes), let your house go into foreclosure and live there for five to eight years without paying anything other than utilities, go on food stamps, get a free phone and minutes, place on any application for any job or school that you are black and get a housing allowance. Let this benevolent government pay for everything. ´Bout time the producers start taking back, rather than giving back.

This was remarked/made fun of this morning on talk radio. The host who is an "independent" said that sending a female SecState to Muslim countries was a joke. The PIAPS is a bigger joke than most being in this position. Bibi is a gentleman and will listen to her but will ultimately do want needs to be done to defend Israel. Abbas is scum and will treat her with all of the respect do a camel flea. This will also keep Hillarious out of the country so that they can come up with story # 5(or is it 6? It´s hard to keep track.) for Benghazi-gate. Is the Huma Weiner going with? Or are they going to send Susan Rice the incompetent with her? Oops can I say that without being called a racist by the ingrates at the CBC. Oh man I´d better watch my six. LAUGH OUT LOUD!

During his morning remarks on the Senate floor, Reid recalled receiving a 12-gauge shotgun ordered from a Sears catalog for his 12th birthday and made reference to incidents of gun violence in his home state of Nevada, including the 2010 shooting at a Las Vegas federal building.

A homeless man, oblivious to President Obama’s passing motorcade, took BB gun practice in the nearby woods and refused to drop his weapon when confronted by Connecticut cops, officials said today. Obama was speaking yesterday at the University of Hartford when police, stationed along the president’s route to Bradley International Airport, heard noises coming from a nearby wooded area around 5:50 p.m., said Bloomfield police Capt. Stephen Hajdasz. A detective from the neighboring town of Simsbury ordered the man — identified as 27-year-old Joseph Stravinskas — to drop what appeared to be a rifle, according to Hajdasz.

Samuel Locklear said Pyongyang’s nuclear and ballistic missile tests are a threat to U.S. national security and regional peace and stability. He noted that North Korea is keeping a significant percentage of combat forces in the demilitarized zone, and said the United States and South Korean forces are "ready today" to respond should the Kim Jong Un regime stage an attack. Senators pressed Locklear to elaborate on how the U.S. military

Organizing for Action — President Barack Obama’s re-election-campaign-turned-nonprofit — started running its online ads on Facebook and in search engines today. More than nine out of 10 Americans support universal background checks, according to a recent poll by Quinnipac University.

Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

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?”

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Amid all of the very real threats of war and stuff from North Korea, you´d think American intelligence officers want as much video footage of the enemy as possible. Well, here is one video featuring North Korean exercises and Kim Jong-Un holding a gun, and we´ll say this: they certainly get points for presentation. Remember the clap-happy report from Dennis Rodman´s diplomatic basketball vacation? This video comes courtesy of the same Youtube channel that gave us that Rodman video. It appears to be the same state news channel.(Snip for video)This latest dispatch from North Korea´s state television

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
