Gregory acts like a ‘boy cheerleaders’ in some high school Cheering squad. Lot’s of enthusiasm for dems - limited IQ. He’s the opposite of Tim Russert.

Gregory’s not even listening to Issa’s answers - just blankly looking at him - waiting for his ‘turn’ to come up again to speak.

Issa could be saying ‘red, orange, yellow and blue’ and Gregory would move on to the next prepared question. If someone asked Gregory what Issa had said, he would be clueless. Really, someone needs to do that just for the fun of it. Guy’s an airhead.

NBC needs to get someone smarter...

Spot.

On.

Assad was very much hooked into the Dems at one time.....Like I said, the Russians prefer him over us putting in the Muslim Brotherhood.

Who cares if they try to delegitimize it? Not participating makes them look worse and there will be no one to defend Dem interests, which is why I am sure they would participate. The objective is to get the facts out. More whistleblowers have already been identified. The objective is the truth.

Reps participated in Pelosi's select committee on global warming.

Is it any wonder why the Reps are called the Stupid Party? We have over 150 Reps in House calling for a select committee and Boehner still doesn't get it.

The last paragraph is the best:

"We do not know the facts for certain, but we do know that the rescue mission stand-down issue revolves around the granting or withholding of cross-border authority, which belongs only to President Obama. More than one hundred gung-ho Force Recon Marines were waiting on the tarmac in Sigonella, just two hours away for the launch order that never came."

Maybe we need to thin the herd earlier this time, before the liberal Republicans in the primaries pick us another RINO.

“So here I sit mentally composing what the Republicans have to do and boom, in one sentence you punch it out.”

I could not believe Bill Kristol whining about the attack ads that are being run against Hillary. That is exactly what we need to do - make sure the public is aware of her role in this debacle & leave them with a negative impression that can be recalled in 2016. Bill is such a putz!

By the way, how’s your fence issue going? Are they backing off with the property line dispute, or still pushing you?

If you are cowardly, like Obama, you fear a Blackhawk Down and considering all those missing MANPADs, well may be you just sit there and don’t reply to a rescue request and leave only dead air.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2951058/posts?page=39#39

If you are courageous with a moral core like that of Eisenhower or Reagan, well then you give the cross-border order and nail those Al Qaeda Bastards.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2951145/posts?page=107#107

It seems that “they” found about 5,000 of them but they really don’t know how many are still missing. Do you feel safe now? Dontchya just love how incompetent the Obama Administration is? I'll be flying overseas a few weeks from now and feel so much safer now that The Obama Administration has allowed thousands upon thousands of air to sea missiles into Mideast Terrorists’ hands. Just another typical Obama FUBAR outcome.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2954345/posts?page=12#12

Don’t you just love Obama’s/Clinton’s foreign policy? They replaced dirtbags with rabid jihadist dirtbags. Not only that they lost 20,000 MANPAD’s in addition to that. Brilliant!!! Just Brilliant!

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2950758/posts?page=247#247

Obama’s/Clinton’s foray into Libyan politics has really made us so much more unsafe. They made military/commercial air travel dangerous. Why? Because Woods was part of a CIA team whose mission “was to find the more than 20,000 missing MANPADS, or shoulder-held missiles capable of bringing down a commercial aircraft.” Well done Obama! It’s the usual Obama FUBAR.

It just so happens that air force rapid response teams (Fighters & C-130s) are on standby 24/7...ready to go at a moments notice.

That's what I thought and it has been that way for atleast a decade.

So somebody needs to clue in the bloviating Colonel Cartwright USMC who was on ABC this morning saying that there was nothing they could do by air since it would have taken atleast 9 hours to fuel up and load ordinances blah blah blah and not get there until the next day.

Of course none of this would have happened if Ghaddafi was still in power. Given that Obama has not done a thing about Assad, I really have to wonder what Ghaddafi did to piss him off. And all the hawks like McCain who want to eliminate Assad need to take a close look at the democratic paradise we created in Lybia and ask themselves if it is in our national interest to re-create it in Syria.

You're right - that is the best...

That were no rapid response units in the area. You are going to find out that there was “help’ available all over the locale, Germany, France, Italy, North Africa, Djibouti, Bahrain, etc., etc. Want more.....Obama was illegally moving arms to Syrian rebels who just happened to be his buddies and beloved brethren from the Muslim Brotherhood!!! You will soon find out what a slime ball Obama is!!!

Kookcinch is obviously running for President and wants to get off of the Obama train if it crashes. He can be the Dem alternative.

If this is the case then we really need to get our money back. We’ve been told rapid deployment is fully funded and can meet contingencies such as embassies under attack.


Yep. I would start with cutting the good Colonel’s billet. He doesn’t seem to be of much use other than flapping his gums supporting Team Obama.

Why would you not have a rescue team at the airport in case something like this was to happen on 9/11? How is this not homicide on someone’s part?

Funny how we lose embassies and ambassadors on Dummycrat watches. If my memory is correct, the last ambassador we lost was under Carter. The last embassies we lost were under Clinton.

Yes, I also think they need strong and clear evidence of a “crime”, such as no one owning up to the 12 changes in talking points, no one admitting to giving the “stand down” order, proof that “someone” in US government (State? CIA?)was supplying Libyan weapons to Syria, proof that Cheryl Mills obstructed a Congressional investigation by ordering “her” people not to talk with Chaevitz and sending “minders” to make sure they stayed obstructed, (or ___? fill in the blank - any federal crime). [Cheryl Mills was Bubba’s impeachment lawyer - real snotty and imperious -the forerunner to O & M, the imperial copuple]

Since we no longer have an IC statutory process, which Clinton and then Bush both hated so much, they can go back to the common-law method of Congressional request to the DC Court of Appeals and ask for the Court to appoint an IC or SP since the AG is so interwoven into the process and has an inherent conflict of interest (especially on Fast & Furious).

It would be nice to keep them bobbing and weaving on both fronts (Benghazi & F&F)

That is not what SECDEF and Dempsey have said under oath.

Isn’t Kraut the one who lectured us that Romney was the only one who could beat Obama and then turned on Romney when he got the nomination? Taking advice from him is like taking advice from the Chicago Cubs on how to win the World Series.
