For some reason my recall totals the number of employees at 41, including the four dead in Benghazi. 37 at the Annex plus Stevens and Smith and Doherty and Woods. Doherty and Woods left the Annex for the consulate then back to the Annex to save the 37.

Thank you! I did google it, and this is what I found:

http://www.scribd.com/mobile/doc/103537370/Targeted-Disab

FWIW, I’ve known a few dwarves—fine, intelligent people. I can’t think of any reason why a person with this genetic abnormality should be denied employment, or limited to a lifetime of “work” in the circus. Nor do I object to their active recruitment, provided they are otherwise qualified for the job in question.

Also, the actual order, shown in the link, references vague psychiatric disabilities which could be anything from mild depression to various phobias and personality disorders, which might require accommodations be made. For instance, fear of elevators is a psychiatric disorder. So the employee needs quick access to stairs.
Again, one assumes (hopes) the targeted recruit is otherwise qualified.
Unfortunately, in Obamaworld, “qualified” means moonbat liberal, so I get where you’re coming from.
BUT the directive, while it does not specifically rule out schizophrenics, neither does it say that schizophrenics are being specifically recruited.

Not long after Benghazi happened, a freeper (I think it was Travis McGee) said that only the Commander in Chief could authorize American forces to cross international borders to help those under attack. If this is true,(it makes sense) the question is, where was obama, soetoro, or whatever his real name is, and what was he doing during those 13 hours?

Obama intentionally was not available during this crisis. There was no way his fingerprints would be on anything related to Benghazi, before, during or after the attack. To this day, we know very little of his involvement, which is not accidental.

Here is my review if the movie 13 hours which I saw last night. (Michael Medved who was also at the screening will do a better job of reviewing it probably)

It is very difficult to make a movie about a real life story that is very fresh, not an old story, and do it by portraying the truthful events.

It is much easier to take artistic license and create incredible situations and huge explosions and drama that never took place.

13 hours, tells the true story in a non-political way and does it very well. There is not a single mention of politics that I can recall and it and no politicians names ever mentioned. It is just a straight-up factual dramatization.

The acting excluding one character for a portion of the movie, was very good.

The movie making was also very well done, Michael Bay did a good job as usual.

Even though I was very aware of the story of Benghazi, I learned some new things there and cleared up some misconceptions I had.

One example is I forgot the consulate was not the only place attacked, in my mind I had forgotten that after the consulate was attacked the annex was where the 13 hour mostly took place. For some reason I remembered everything taking place at the consulate.

Present day politics of course are on everybody’s mind and I would say that people who have not paid attention to the Benghazi story at all if they watch this movie they will be asking why certain politicians did not send help.

I’m not a professional movie reviewer so I’m not going to give it 3 year for 5 stars I just recommend everybody see it.

One last note, I did this by voice to text while getting the tire on my suburban fixed so any goofy spellings or weird words that should not be in this I take no responsibility for and I blame Google.

This should show all Americans how this presidency, along with the MSM, is nothing short of traitorous. The proof is right in front of our eyes with obvious evidence.

Just think back on 9/11/2001 and how fast the Democrats and the MSM blamed GWB for "allowing" the attacks to occur. There was and is still no proof of that. Just conjecture with the rubble smoldering with victims remains still not all found.

I could go on but you all know what I mean.

This regime should have special little IVs waiting on every member starting with VJ (and I ain't taking that back because I meant it).

Speaking of that... Whatever became of that movie that was supposed to be the October Suprize about Hillary in 2008 but was shelved when she got blown out by 0bama? I hope it’s still around.
