When the tall, slim, ram, bam, obama first stepped foot into the White House, It was one step too many.
He is the most traitorous person to ever be in there.
When he and Hillary put politics above the safety of the ambassador and three other heroes, it was certainly far from protecting the constitution and the American citizens.
When he denounced the Benghazi report, it was another traitorous step, too far.
Is he a dictator or a king?
No power should ever rest on one fallible person with our system of checks and balances.
The "deepest Secret" group keeps extending their power and we appear helpless to resist traitorous actions by our supposed representatives in congress and this supposed pouts.
Wake up, Amurica!

Krauthammer- GOP must keep B\enghazi hearings focused on facts ... Columbus Dispatch
Charles Krauthammer commentary: GOP must keep Benghazi hearings focused on facts

Fine. Although this would give the Obama-protective media a further reason to ignore Benghazi, it doesn’t matter. All that matters is whether the committee produces new, important facts. If it does, it will be impossible to ignore.
We’ve already seen what a single piece of new evidence can do in reviving interest in a story that many (including me) thought the administration had successfully stonewalled. The “PREP CALL with Susan (Rice)” email from Ben Rhodes, the deputy national security adviser, was withheld eight months until revealed by court order. It advises the U.N. ambassador to focus on an anti-Islam Internet video, thus contradicting the perennial White House claim that Rice’s blame-the-video five-show fable came just from intelligence-community talking points and not from a White House in full campaign mode.
The select committee will be headed by Rep. Trey Gowdy, a skilled 16-year prosecutor. He needs to keep the hearings clean and strictly fact-oriented. Questions only, no speechifying. Every sentence by every GOP committee member must end with a question mark. Should any committee Republican instead make a statement ending in a period, the chairman should immediately, by button, deliver an electric shock through the violator’s seat.
The areas of inquiry are obvious. They are three: before, during and after.
Before:
Where and to what extent was there dereliction of duty as memos, urgent pleas and mounting evidence of danger were ignored and the U.S. ambassador allowed to enter a deathtrap?
During:
What happened during the eight hours of the Benghazi attack, at the end of which the last two Americans (of four) were killed by mortar fire? Where was the commander in chief, and where was the responsible cabinet secretary, Hillary Clinton? What did they do?
The White House acts as if these are, alternatively, either state secrets or of no importance.
For President Barack Obama, we have three data points. At 5 p.m. EDT, he is briefed on the attack by the secretary of defense and chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
At around 8 p.m., Obama spends an hour on the phone with Benjamin Netanyahu to tamp down a breaking, politically injurious story that Obama had snubbed the Israeli prime minister. The White House then issues a readout saying the two leaders had agreed there had been no snub.
So the White House is engaged in campaign damage control quite literally in the middle of the Benghazi events — at a time when Ambassador Chris Stevens is still missing and the final firefight that killed two other Americans is still three hours away. We’ve just learned that Obama was not in the Situation Room that night. Then where, doing what?
We know, finally, that at 10 p.m. Obama called Clinton to get an update. What did they discuss, decide, order?
As former prosecutor Andrew McCarthy has pointed out, a half-hour later, State issued a statement deploring the video, setting the premise for the video excuse. Were Obama and Clinton working on a cover story — even before Glen Doherty had joined Tyrone Woods on the roof of the CIA annex where they were to die minutes later?
Yes, that’s speculation. Well, then, give us facts. After all, the White House provided a cascade of hagiographic facts about Obama’s involvement in the Osama bin Laden raid. Yet regarding Benghazi — the most serious operational challenge of his presidency — he is nowhere to be seen.
After:
We now know the White House was pushing the “video made them do it” cover-up, lest the blame be placed on administration policy. Who was involved in that decision, obviously designed to protect a president campaigning that al-Qaida was “on the run”?
These hearings are a big political risk for Republicans. Going into the 2014 election, they stand to benefit from the major issues — Obamacare, the economy, chronic unemployment — from which Benghazi hearings can only distract. Worse, if botched like previous hearings on the matter, these hearings could backfire against the GOP, as did the 1998 Clinton impeachment proceedings. On purely partisan considerations, the hearings are not worth the political risk.
But the country deserves the truth. They’ll get it if the GOP can keep the proceedings clean, factual and dispassionate. No speeches. No grandstanding. Gowdy has got to be a tough disciplinarian — especially toward his own side of the aisle.

Trey Gowdy embarrasses our national media- or it should have but apparently did not. Thx Paul C and Ramey H!

This one has been on the net
for some time but in light of the recently appointed special committee to
investigate Benghazi I believe it is timely.
Ramey
This is well worth your
time to watch and pass on.
Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) turned
the tables on the media and asked them questions about Benghazi. The
silence was deafening. Best video clip I’ve seen in months. I
hope you watch it ~ it’s only 3 minutes. The Media should be embarrassed
by Congressman Trey Gowdy’s questions.
Many Questions - No Answers
Good questions,
all!
This is most certainly the most
embarrassing event that has occurred in the last 16 months. The
burden falls on the media who have not done anything to investigate
this. If I were to measure BIG events the media touted in the last
40 years, I would rank this above the Nixon Watergate Scandal. So -
why has this gone for over a year without a peep from the media?
After viewing this 3.5 minute video, I urge you to forward it to your sphere of influence. KEEP THIS GOING. |

Trey Gowdy received death threat over Benghazi investigation. Thx Newsmax!
Fox News Channel's Megyn Kelly expressed concern about the threat when interviewing the South Carolina Republican on Wednesday, but Gowdy seemed unfazed.
Urgent: Do You Think There is a Cover-up on Benghazi? Vote Now in Urgent Poll
"I was a prosecutor for 16 years. This is not my first death threat," Gowdy said. "I'm always happy when it doesn't come from my wife, and this one did not. So, I'm going to be fine, and it's not going to keep me from doing my job."
Gowdy also told Kelly he intends to subpoena former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during his investigation but may not have her testify at a hearing. The rules at hearings limit the time committee members can ask questions, Gowdy said, and he thinks he can get more information if he has Clinton make a deposition.
Kelly pointed out that Clinton told ABC News that she thinks all questions on Benghazi have been answered, and Kelly asked whether Clinton would be able to get out of making a deposition.
"If she can get out of a subpoena, she can get out of it," Gowdy said. "But I don't send invitations to cocktail parties."
If Clinton doesn't comply with the subpoena, she'll suffer the same consequences as anyone else would, he said.
As to Clinton's comment to ABC that Republicans in Congress choose not to be satisfied that the truth about the Benghazi attacks has been determined, Gowdy said, "There are three separate categories of questions, each with sub-units within them that have not been answered. I realize it's been 20 months, but time is no barometer of thoroughness."
Four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, died in the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya. Republicans say White House officials blamed the attack on outrage over an anti-Muslim video even though they knew it was a planned terrorist attack.
They say administration officials didn't want to hurt the re-election chances of President Barack Obama with the vote less than two months away.

A short poem you should not forget ... Thx Lyle S!
A SHORT POEM YOU WON'T FORGET"A bump in the road" .... remember that calloused statement? I don't know the author of this poem.. Received it today. Very thought provoking and poignant. I do recall, however, the President referring to the Benghazi incident as "a bump in the road." Today I heard an ex-Navy Seal being interviewed on Fox News regarding a book he has written about how to handle crisis situations in our lives. At the end of the interview he asked if he could make a comment on Benghazi and of course the anchor said yes. He then thanked Fox News for keeping the Benghazi story in the news, since other news organizations are not. He said the Seals who died deserve the public knowing the truth about the whole affair.The poem was written by a MARINE CORPS Officer (ANON).THE BATTLING BOYS OF BENGHAZIWe're the battling boys of Benghazi
No fame, no glory, no paparazzi.
Just a fiery death in a blazing hell
Defending our country we loved so well.It wasn't our job, but we answered the call,
fought to the Consulate and scaled the wall.
We pulled twenty Countrymen from the jaws of fate
Led them to safety, and stood at the gate.Just the two of us, and foes by the score,
But we stood fast to bar the door.
Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,
So we fought, and we fought, and we fought 'til we died.We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,
But Barack Obama didn't give a damn.
Just two dead seals who carried the load
No thanks to us.........we were just "Bumps In The Road".
So will this reach every American with a computer? Or do we act like the press and give a pass to the incompetent people who literally sat there in the White House and watched the Seal's execution on live streaming video and did absolutely nothing? The Obama Administration obviously won't be held accountable because we apparently accept Hilary Clinton's statement, "What difference does it make?"Hillary in 2016? NOT!!

This
is very important
for people who care.
We lost 4
people in Libya

has
been held
responsible.
No

How proud of
our

you be now?
It

400 Surf-Air missiles missing in Benghazi ... Thx Newsmax!
obama walks like a duck and looks like a duck. He must be a lying duck!
A lawyer representing one of the whistleblowers with knowledge
of the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi last September
says 400 surface-to-air missiles were "diverted to Libya" during the
attack and fell into "the hands of some very ugly people."
In an interview with Washington, D.C., radio station WMAL on Monday, Beltway lawyer Joe diGenova said he "does not know whether [the missiles] were at the annex, but it is clear the annex was somehow involved in the distribution of those missiles," Breitbart.com reported.
Saying his information "comes from a former intelligence official who stayed in constant contact with people in the special ops and intelligence community," diGenova said the U.S. intelligence community is terrified the missiles might be used to shoot down airliners — and that fear, in part, fueled the closing of embassies in the Middle East last week.
"They were afraid that there was going to be a missile attack on one of the embassies," he said, The Daily Mail reported.
"Remember, you can take a shoulder-held missile and shoot it into an embassy. Not just into the sky.
"That's what this was all about," diGenova insisted. "That's why they're so worried. That's why they have lied repeatedly about what happened in Benghazi, because they are now responsible for all of the stepchildren of violence that happens as a result of this. This is a very serious matter."
DiGenova's wife, Victoria Toensing — a former deputy assistant attorney general — also represents Benghazi witnesses and others with knowledge of the terror attack, according to the Mail.
"A lot of people have come forward to share information with us," he said during the radio station's "Mornings On The Mall" program.
"We have learned that one of the reasons the administration is so deeply concerned" is that "there were 400 surface-to-air missiles stolen, and that they are ... in the hands of many people, and that the biggest fear in the U.S. intelligence community is that one of these missiles will be used to shoot down an airliner," diGenova said, adding that his sources have told him the missiles are in the hands of al-Qaida operatives.
"And it's pretty clear that the biggest concern right now are 400 missiles which have been diverted in Libya and have gotten in the hands of some very ugly people," he said.
DiGenova was U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia for four years beginning in 1983, and later was an independent counsel appointed to investigate a State Department official who ordered politically embarrassing searches of the passport files of Bill Clinton, Clinton's mother, and Ross Perot before the 1992 presidential election.
In 2007, the New York state Senate retained him to investigate then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer over allegations that he ordered the State Police to track the whereabouts of Republican State Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno when he used police escorts to travel to and around New York City.
Now, diGenova and Toensing, a former chief counsel for the Senate Intelligence Committee, represent Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya at the time of the Benghazi attacks; and Mark Thompson, a former Marine who serves as deputy coordinator for operations in the State Department's counterterrorism section, the Mail reported.
The lawyers say Hicks' and Thompson's superiors subjected them to an intimidation campaign after then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's Accountability Review Board ignored their accounts of the Benghazi attack.
Toensing told Fox News in April one of the two men was warned about the impact on his career if he cooperated with Republican investigators in Congress.
"It's frightening, and they're doing some very despicable threats to people," Toensing said, the Mail reported.
"Not 'we're going to kill you,' or not 'we're going to prosecute you tomorrow,' but they're taking career people and making them well aware that their careers will be over."
President Obama has said he is unaware of any witnesses from Benghazi who have been prohibited from working with Congress. Secretary of State John Kerry has attributed such stories to "an enormous amount of misinformation."
In a May 30 letter, CIA Director John Brennan told personnel stationed in Benghazi that they were free to speak with Congress, but that they should involve their chain of command and follow specific procedures, the Mail reported, adding the measure was seen by some as a subtle warning that CIA agents must not approach lawmakers on their own.

Lies and more lies from obama and Hillary and their ilk ... Thx Pidge F!
Looks like our pres isn’t the poster child many think he is, and cover-up
is more prevalent
than we know. Where is this country heading? Big hugs,
Dad/Grampa
( Cynthia
Lee Myers: her cousin served in Libya embassy)
Cynthia Lee Myers wanted to share the truth of what happened over in Libya. You will not find this in the media yet
"Here is my story. A week out the Embassy in Tripoli began receiving multiple tips about an Al Queda cell in the area planning an attack on 9/11 in response to the killing of Bin Laden. For the next several days, the state Department and WH were asked for a security force and were denied at least six times.
Ambassador Stevens and his team were given the all clear that the Consulate in Benghazi was safe and there was no need for a security force other than his 3 personal guards (One being my cousin) and a few Libyans who were not armed. Then the attack and murders occurred.
Immediately the WH claimed it was a protest gone bad over a Youtube video. Obama made a quick speech in the Rose Garden on Sept.12 before catching a plane to Vegas to campaign. He made a generic statement at the end of his speech after placing the blame on an overheated protest over the video. He said "No act of terror will shake the resolve of America."
Later that day and over the next 2 days, the liberal media began saying Ambassador Stevens and the other 3 men died of smoke inhalation. This was not the case. Out of respect for my cousin, I'm not going to be specific about his murder. However, Ambassador Stevens was brutally murdered. His genitals were cut off, he was sodomized and beaten, and cut and stabbed and burned. He was dragged through the streets and left for dead.
This is eyewitness testimony of a local Dr. who found the Ambassador in a ditch and tried to save his life. He had no idea who he was. The other 3 men, including my cousin, met similar fates. And deaths due to smoke inhalation is a 100% fabricated LIE.
The next week I drove my aunt and uncle and 2 others to DC to receive his body. We met with Hillary, Panetta, and Susan Rice. ALL of whom apologized and said it was a protest gone bad over a video and exited the area.
Next Obama entered with the same story and didn't apologize and wasn't sympathetic. My aunt cried to this man and all he did was hand her flowers and walk away. I tried to get his attention, but didn't. I got upset andyelled liar to him; he kept walking. Then a secret service agent grabbed my arm and led me to a room where I was held till the proceedings were over.
America, I saw firsthand how cold this man is. What kind of liar he is. Many of you haven't a clue about this tyrant and yet you support him. And act like every word he says is Gospel. These murders and the fast and furious cover ups make Watergate look like misdemeanors. We must stop this man, and please pass this story along."

Sad state of affairs ... Thx Ralph H!
sad state of affairs
Subject: Air Force Expert on Benghazi"Hands" Handley is a well-respected USAF fighter pilot.
Here is his short resume of accomplishments.
Colonel Phil "Hands" Handley is credited with the highest
speed air- to-air gun kill in the history of aerial combat. He flew
operationally for all but 11 months of a 26-year career, in aircraft
such as the F-86 Sabre, F-15 Eagle, and the C-130A Hercules.
Additionally, he flew 275 combat missions during two tours in
Southeast Asia in the F- 4D and F-4E. His awards include 21 Air
Medals, 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, and the Silver Star.
Here is what Col. Handley wrote in response to Panetta and
Dempsey's claims there was no time to send help to Benghazi.
----------------------------------------------
Betrayal in Benghazi
Phil "Hands" Handley Colonel, USAF (Ret.)
The combat code of the US Military is that we don't
abandon our dead or wounded on the battlefield. In US Air Force
lingo, fighter pilots don't run off and leave their wingmen. If one
of our own is shot down, still alive and not yet in enemy captivity,
we will either come to get him or die trying.
Among America 's fighting forces, the calm, sure
knowledge that such an irrevocable bond exists is priceless. Along
with individual faith and personal grit, it is a sacred trust that
has often sustained hope in the face of terribly long odds.
The disgraceful abandonment of our Ambassador and those
brave ex-SEALs who fought to their deaths to save others in that
compound is nothing short of dereliction-of-duty.
Additionally, the patently absurd cover-up scenario that
was fabricated in the aftermath was an outright lie in an attempt to
shield the President and the Secretary of State from responsibility.
It has been over eight months since the attack on our
compound in Benghazi . The White House strategy, with the aid of a
"lap dog" press has been to run out the clock before the truth is
forthcoming.
The recent testimonies of the three "whistle blowers"
have reopened the subject and hopefully will lead to exposure and
disgrace of those responsible for this embarrassing debacle. It would
appear that the most recent firewall which the Administration is
counting on is the contention "that there were simply no military
assets that could be brought to bear in time to make a difference"
mainly due to the unavailability of tanker support for fighter
aircraft.
This is simply BS, regardless how many supposed "experts"
the Administration trot out to make such an assertion.
The bottom line is that even if the closest asset capable
of response was half-way around the world, you don't just sit on your
penguin ass and do nothing.
The fact is that the closest asset was not half-way
around the world, but as near as Aviano Air Base, Italy where two
squadrons of F-16Cs are based.
Consider the following scenario (all times Benghazi
local): When Hicks in Tripoli receives a call at 9:40 PM from
Ambassador Stevens informing him "Greg, we are under attack!" (his
last words), Hicks immediately notifies all agencies and prepares for
the immediate initiation of an existing "Emergency Response Plan."
At AFRICON, General Carter Ham attempts to mount a rescue
effort, but is told to "stand down". By 10:30 PM an unarmed drone is
overhead the compound and streaming live feed to various "Command and
Control Agencies" so everyone watching that feed knew damn well what
was going on.
At 11:30 PM Woods, Doherty and five others leave Tripoli,
arriving in Benghazi at 1:30 AM on Wednesday morning, where they hold
off the attacking mob from the roof of the compound until they are
killed by a mortar direct hit at 4:00 AM.
So nothing could have been done, eh? Nonsense. If one
assumes that tanker support really "was not available" what about
this:
When at 10:00 PM AFRICON alerts the 31st TFW Command Post
in Aviano Air Base, Italy of the attack, the Wing Commander orders
preparation for the launch of two F-16s and advises the Command Post
at NAS Sigonella to prepare for hot pit refueling and quick turn of
the jets.
By 11:30 PM, two F-16Cs with drop tanks and each armed
with five hundred 20 MM rounds are airborne. Flying at 0.92 mach they
will cover the 522 nautical miles directly to NAS Sigonella in 1.08
hours. While in-route, the flight lead is informed of the tactical
situation, rules of engagement, and radio frequencies to use.
The jets depart Sigonella at 1:10 AM with full fuel load
and cover the 377 nautical miles directly to Benghazi in 0.8 hours,
arriving at 1:50 AM which would be 20 minutes after the arrival of
Woods, Doherty and their team.
Providing that the two F-16s initial pass over the mob,
in full afterburner at 200 feet and 550 knots did not stop the attack
in its tracks, a few well placed strafing runs on targets of
opportunity would assuredly do the trick.
Were the F-16s fuel state insufficient to return to
Sigonelli after jettisoning their external drop tanks, they could
easily do so at Tripoli International Airport , only one-half hour
away.
As for those hand-wringing naysayers who would worry
about IFR clearances, border crossing authority, collateral damage,
landing rights, political correctness and dozens of other reasons not
to act -- screw them. It is time our "leadership" get its priorities
straight and put America's interests first.
The end result would be that Woods and Doherty would be
alive. Dozens in the attacking rabble would be rendezvousing with "72
virgins" and a clear message would have been sent to the next
worthless POS terrorist contemplating an attack on Americans that it
is not really a good idea to "tug" on Superman's cape.
Of course all this depends upon a Commander In Chief more
concerned with saving the lives of those he put in harm's way than
getting his crew rested for a campaign fund raising event in Las
Vegas the next day. It also depends upon a Secretary of State who
actually understood "What difference did it make?", and a Secretary
of Defense who was watching the feed from the drone and understood
what the attack consisted of instead of making an immediate response
that "One of the military tenants is that you don't commit assets
until you fully understand the tactical situation."
YGBSM!
Ultimately it comes down to the question of who gave that
order to stand down? Whoever that coward turns out to be should be
exposed, removed from office, and face criminal charges for
dereliction of duty. The combat forces of the Untied States of
America deserve leadership that really does "have their back" when
the chips are down.
FOR THOSE OF YOU HAVE ACTUALLY TAKEN THE TIME TO READ
THIS, DO ONE THING FOR ME AND FORWARD IT TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!! TO
AVOID THIS HAPPENING AGAIN, WHOMEVER GAVE THE "STAND DOWN" ORDER
NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED!
