I just watched a Dateline about a preacher....name was “AB”.
seems his wives have a problem remaining alive once they marry him.
I kept thinking....dear Lord....”AB”?
Nah.
Well AB is religious but I was pretty sure he was Catholic.
AB....are your wives still living?
Speaking of Karl Rove and his new PAC
Some interesting notes on teh Rove and the Executive Director of his new PAC.
Rove:
Supported Ford over Reagan in 1976
Supported Bush 41 over Reagan in 1980
Failed to gain a popular vote victory for Bush 43 in 2000. Sent W to campaign for Arlen Spector over Pat Toomey in PA in 2004
As Sr. Political Advisor to W in 2006 lost the House and Senate to the Dems...which gave us Obama as President.
Used less than 10% of his PAC’s 340 million dollar in the last election cycle on TEA Party Candidates.
Is going around not only trashing the TEA Party on Fox and talk radio...he’s lying about Steve King and his comments about Todd Aiken.
Steven Law - Exec. Dir Conservative Victory Fund
Was the Executive Director of the RSCC from 1998 - 2000
Failed to gain any Senate seats in the 1998 mid terms despite the impeachment of Bill Clinton.
Lost 4 seats in the Senate in the 2000 election causing the Senate to be split after Dems coaxed “Jumpin” Jim Jeffords to join them.
These are the two supposedly smart “experts” that are going to lead us back to the White House and Control of Congress?
They should have named their PAC the Anti-Conservative Victory Fund.
So then why were Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty told to "stand down" or is that not true?
7:40 a.m. -- The first wave of Americans are evacuated to Tripoli via airplane.
10 a.m. -- A second group, including those killed in the attack, are flown to Tripoli.
So where are they, and why has nobody including WND, National Enquirer, FNC, British Press, Al Jazzera etc interviewed any of them?
Well, lets give blame where it is also due, not just Obama and the Lib politiicans....Its the undeducated masses!
I just listened to Pelosi...she is illogical, her speech is tangential and she can not carry on a clear, logical “argument” AT ALL. What frightens me is that MOST Americans think just like her, talk like her and also can not follow an argument logically. When they hear her, it makes all the sense in the world to them...a nation of borderline dementia voters ( no offense to true dementia sufferers).
Lindsey Graham drop the bombshell on Face the Nation!
He says he doesn’t think the nominations of Hagel and Brennan should go forward until he and we learn what Obama was doing on the night of Benghazi!
WOO-HOO!
You are right, Bray. I think I even prepared him for the worst. Most science dept. have bought into the lie.
The media needs to be waterboarded until they tell the truth to the ignorant masses.
OMGosh! Love the beer shelves! Snow formed audience is truth at 32 degrees at least. Great job!
Very innovative, I’d say! Found both on FaceBook this morning.
And if memory serves me correctly, Rove was the guy who wouldn’t let Bush get out there and defend the lies. I still feel Saddam sent his WMD to Syria. And many, many more.
This is a problem the current R’s are having. They need to scream louder than the left. Forget this civility thing. Fight fire with fire.
NAHHHH!
Let’s just use drones on them!!!ha.
“So where are they, and why has nobody including WND, National Enquirer, FNC, British Press, Al Jazzera etc interviewed any of them?”
THAT is the question Brennen Panetta et al should be asked.
Besides a Montana nose that picks up every snowstorm within three hundred miles, I’ve only got my catcher’s collection of broken bones to kick my butt when a front goes through, but I do believe I will reject any offers to trade.
...hip AND a knee? Man, you’ve got my deepest sympathy.
Isn’t that the truth? I used that very phrase, on another thread! It applies to every single pol and wanna be I know, right now.
But for ONE........... BEN CARSON.
• 9:40 p.m.: A senior State Department security officer at the consulate in Benghazi called the CIA base, at an annex about a mile away, and requested assistance. "The compound is under attack. People are moving through the gates." CIA officers at the base can hear the alarm, and a team immediately begins gathering weapons and preparing to leave
• 10:04: A seven-person rescue squad from the agency's Global Response Staff leaves in two vehicles. The team leader is a career CIA officer and includes a contractor named Tyrone Woods, who later died. During the previous 24-minute interval, the CIA base chief calls the 17 February Brigade, other militias and the Libyan intelligence service seeking vehicles with 50-caliber machine guns. Nobody responds. The team leader and the base chief agree at 10:04 they can't wait any longer and head for the consulate.
• 10:10: The rescue team reached a chaotic intersection a few blocks from the consulate. Militias gathered there have several 50-caliber machine guns, which the CIA team tries unsuccessfully to commandeer; three militiamen offer to help. The rescue party now includes 10 people: six GRS officers; a CIA translator, and the three Libyan volunteers.
• 10:20: A reconnaissance party of two GRS officers heads to the consulate; at 10:25, three more GRS officers enter the main gate and begin engaging the attackers. The firefight lasts about 15 minutes.
• 10:40: Members of the CIA team enter the burning inferno of "Villa C," where Ambassador Christopher Stevens is believed to be hiding. CIA officers try numerous times to reach the "safe room," but are driven back by the intense smoke and fire. Small arms fire continues from the Libyan attackers.
• 11:11: An unarmed military Predator drone arrives over the compound to provide aerial reconnaissance. The drone had been diverted from a mission over Darnah, Libya, about 90 minutes away. But without weapons, it can't help much.
• 11:15: The CIA team puts the State Department group into a vehicle and sends them to the agency base; at 11:30, the CIA officers depart under fire and reach the annex six minutes later.
• 11:56: CIA officers at the annex are attacked by a rocket-propelled grenade and small arms. Sporadic attacks continue for about another hour. The attacks stop at 1:01 a.m., and some assume the fight is over.
• 1:15 a.m.: CIA reinforcements arrive on a 45-minute flight from Tripoli in a plane they've hastily chartered. The Tripoli team includes four GRS security officers, a CIA case officer and two U.S. military personnel who are on loan to the agency. They don't leave Benghazi airport until 4:30. The delay is caused by negotiations with Libyan authorities over permission to leave the airport, obtaining vehicles, and the need to frame a clear mission plan. The first idea is to go to a Benghazi hospital to recover Stevens, who they correctly suspect is already dead. But the hospital is surrounded by the al-Qaida-linked Ansar al-Shariah militia that mounted the consulate attack.
• 5:04: The team from Tripoli arrives at the CIA base. Glen Doherty, one of the GRS men from Tripoli, goes to the roof and joins Woods in firing positions.
• 5:15: A new Libyan assault begins, this time with mortars. Two rounds miss and the next three hit the roof. The rooftop defenders never "laser the mortars," as has been reported. They don't know they're in place until the indirect fire begins, nor are they observed by the drone overhead. The defenders have focused their laser sights earlier on several Libyan attackers, as warnings not to fire. At 5:26 the attack is over. Woods and Doherty are dead and two others are wounded.
• 6:00: Libyan forces from the military intelligence service finally arrive, now with 50 vehicles. They escort the Americans to the airport. A first group of 18, including two wounded, depart at 7 a.m. A second group of 12, plus the four dead, leave at 10 for Tripoli and then the long flight back to America.
Several things are worth noting. It is obvious that we had problems with Libyan authorities who prevented the reaction team from reaching our facilities for more than three hours.
Although it appears that the annex was hit twice that night, the impression you get from the MSM and the Administration was that there were just two attacks that night-one against the Mission compound and one seven hours later against the Annex. In fact, the annex was hit twice.
No one asked Hillary if she was on the phone with the Libyan government to clear up the delay problems at the Benghazi airport and to ask for more protection for our facilities once the first attack on the annex was finished. There was close to four hours between attacks on the annex, which held all of our surviving personnel.
No, all these reports about idle carriers, carriers leaving the Persian Gulf, etc, are the Obama administration’s ploys to scare the American people and Republicans into making the concessions on the budget that HE wants.
******
Now if we could just have a few Republicans SAY THIS when they are in front of a camera, we might have a chance.
[Well, actually I did the former (but for cardiovascular purposes)...]
I, unfortunately, have to be careful to avoid anything that may contribute to my heart problems, that is why I only READ the news and not subject myself LISTENING to it.
My comment was not a meant as a personal attack but
rather expressing what has worked for me as a solution to prevent agita and outrage.
I just stopped feeding the media beast.
Take a look at the CIA timeline I provided. The CIA claims that no such order was ever given.
So where are they, and why has nobody including WND, National Enquirer, FNC, British Press, Al Jazzera etc interviewed any of them?
The Obama Administration is not allowing it. It will take a whistle-blower to get this information. Congress should at least be requesting that these people be interviewed privately since most of them appear to be CIA and other intelligence agency personnel who don't want their identities exposed.
Did you see Buttboy Beckel have a hissy fit over the horror of Dr. Carson speaking truth to power at the National Prayer Breakfast.
Just where did he think the Won would show up to get an earful? Just loved the look on his face. Dr. Carson better watch his back. He got off the plantation. Sorry, that’s RASIST!!!
