Free Republic

Yes, funny how yesterday the media kept repeating it was Michelle Bachmann’s wrong, and now when it happens to Democrat Harry Reid, it’s the developer who’s guilty of making illegal campaign contributions.

Another question is the chain of custody when an emergency request for help is received. There was approximately 1 hour and 48 minutes between the initial phone call to Washington and the order to do ‘everything possible’ was given.

It’s the Republicans fault for blocking everything, I’ve already had my dose of the talking point from someone I thought was more intelligent...

Democrats got caught “doping” the election from inside the government, the only way to restore integrity is for all those involved to go cry with Oprah and ask for forgiveness after giving up your titles like Lance Armstrong did, well honor and integrity, after getting caught...

Not often, but the bike paths are well groomed with the tax dollars that are supposed to be for roads and bridges...

Yep, Democrats got all they wanted in their health care bill, but now that they want more, it’s all the Republicans fault it isn’t working because they are blocking everything;

Dingy Harry: Obamacare Will Be a Train Wreck Unless We Spend More Money

And she’ll get shoved aside again for the next new Democrat that runs, easily predictable from that side.

The point is, when someone is caught lying they usually apologize right away.

Add the talking point about the movie causing the Benghazi attack, he can’t say I got it from Rice’s source too, he has to own up to it being a lie. Has there been any public apology yet?

Compare to Lance Armstrong, for doping offenses he is disqualified from bicycling races, banned from competition and they took away the Tour de France (ect.) titles he won. Are Democrats going to admit the doping of the election... not yet...

Expecting a sob story of how Waldo had to spend some family time because he’s been so busy...

The Obama-Phone, a promotion that fits right in with all the other weird stuff, especially the IRS employees who didn’t have to be told what to do, they were going to do whatever they could to tilt the election in their favor.

The 47% Speaks: She’s Voting for Obama Because He Gave Her a Free Phone

If they thought it was UnConstitutional, why did AP give up any records in the first place?

Drive it like you stole it, Harry, and it sounds like you’ve had lots of insider help to steal the previous election...

Fewer jobs, less opportunity. They have given up more freedom and opportunity and now depend on someone else to deliver the daily wants/needs. And as the Lady Thatcher paraphrased, ‘fun till you run out of someone else money’.

That’s their next problem, they’ve been fooled into believing the “Rich” haven’t pay enough while the government collected record revenues, and now the labor force participation rate is steadily declining, 80% of the economy now supports 100% of Democrat spending. See how long that last.

And compare to Lance Armstrong, for doping offenses he is disqualified from bicycling races, banned from competition and they took away the Tour de France (ect.) titles he won. Of course only after admitting the wrong-doing, and are Democrats going to admit the doping of the election, not yet...

Plus they can network instantly to obtain his objective.

That's not all. You get more free minutes as a bonus if you sign somebody else up. Somebody else for free. If you alert the government to some other victim that needs a free cell phone and the person qualifies, and it's obviously not hard to do, then you get bonus minutes in addition to your 250.

Can we say they were encouraged to network?

The 2nd solution is phone companies must put a red stamp of ‘Government Welfare’ on both sides of every phone in use, the best solution being to eliminate this type subsidy.

Amid all this, the Obama-Phone comes to mind, as a sign of promotion that fits right in with all the other weird stuff, especially the IRS employees who didn't have to be told what to do, they were going to do whatever they could to tilt the election in their favor. Now can we find out who's idea this was, and who ordered it's implementation?

Yep, in light of this the Obama-Phone was also a strange promotional concept and should be stamped with ‘Government Welfare’ if not discontinued, which I would favor.

or 4 percent of the nation’s annual economic output

Also fails to look at the how much smaller the 'Economic Output' is since Democrats took over Congress, since January 2007, it is 20%+ smaller as I have extrapolate from the labor participation rate, and the “Out Of Business” signs, the ex-employers aren’t collecting unemployment and go uncounted. GDP may have risen because of government spending, but there isn't private sector growth.

Trickle-Up-Poverty, coming to a city near you...

It shows Democrats and their supporters won’t have an honest discussion in the light of truth.

“When I heard that the situation had evolved to them going to a safe haven and then that we could not find the ambassador, I alerted my leadership that we needed to go forward and consider the deployment of the Foreign Emergency Support Team,” Thompson said during his opening statement.

“I notified the White House. They indicated that meetings had already taken place that evening [deciding against deployment],” Stevens added

Mr. Mark Thompson, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism, told the House Oversight Committee that he was told not to lead a "FEST" team for a rescue mission in Benghazi the night of the attack.

My estimate at 16% real unemployment add 4% business owners out of business and Democrats have destroyed 20%++ of the economy since January 2007.

Agree, seen part of his testimony on O’Reilly and Bill is worried about who told Rice what to say... The 2 question I have, what is the timeline when he is asking to go assist, and who did he talk to? I started searching and found the breitbart video, funny it hasn’t been posted yet.

Mr. Mark Thompson, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism, told the House Oversight Committee that he was told not to lead a "FEST" team for a rescue mission in Benghazi the night of the attack. Thomspon is immensely qualified, via his opening statement: "I led FEST to Latin America to gain the safe recovery of American and foreign hostages. In 2002 I led the FEST to Asia to gain the safe recovery of American hostages. In 2004 I led in the establishment of an Office of Hostage Affairs in Baghdad, Iraq. That office subsequently leveraged the resources of the country team, military and our international partners to free hostages. In 2006, I led a team to West Africa, which resulted in the release of American and foreign hostages. In 2008 I was selected for the Senior Executive Service, and the following year I led the team on a mission that exceeds the classification of this hearing."

Suggesting that some were hesitant to deploy because they were unsure what was happening, “One definition of a crisis is you do not know what’s going to happen in two hours,” he said.

Further, Hicks explained how a separate team of special forces personnel were not given the authorization to fly from Tripoli to Benghazi.

Coincides with the last election, old white guy shouts freedom, liberty, the US Constitution, the Democrats and the media shout extremist, bigot...

Sure would like to hear Limbaugh contrast the Bush White House response at 9-11 to this white House response to Benghazi.

Why does it take an hour and 48 minutes for Washington to acknowledge/respond to the initial call of being attacked? Your right, the response timeline is crucial.

Thanks for that, fortunately I’ve been busy in a computer class, because I haven’t got the stomach for current events. An aside, there is also a site http://mymoney.gov (Your trusted source for financial information), and http://usa.gov (Your gateway to government benefits & services), it was advertised on the back of my tax return envelope...

And also compare the Benghazi response to W.Bush being notified about 9-11, where’s he finished what he was reading and gracefully left to not to upset his audience at the school, whereas the state department takes 20 minutes to tell the situation room, the situation room takes an hour to tell Obama, then he and Panetta talk for a half hour before any order is given.

Brings up another point, when the effort to when the get Bin Laden was made, they all made it to the situation room in plenty of time to get photographed...

Here's the basic account of when Washington is notified, according to the state department account, at the 'very top of the incident' the agent calls Washington, the State Department takes 20 minutes to tell the Situation Room, the situation room takes 1 hour to tell Obama, then he and Panetta, at the previously scheduled meeting, 'discuss possible responses' for a half-hour before any order is given.

9:40 p.m. (3:40 p.m. ET): Gunfire and an explosion are heard. A TOC agent sees dozens of armed people over security camera flowing through a pedestrian gate at the compound's main entrance. It is not clear how the gate was opened.

The agent hits the alarm and alerts the CIA security team in the nearby annex and the Libyan 17th of February Brigade, one of several powerful militias serving as a de facto security presence in Benghazi. The embassy in Tripoli and the State Dept. command center were also alerted.

State Dept. Diplomatic Security follows events in real time on a listen-only, audio-only feed, according to testimony of Charlene Lamb, the deputy assistant director for international programs, given before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Oct 10.

Around 10 p.m. (4 p.m. ET): At the compound, several DS agents leave to get tactical gear from Building B. One stays in Building C with Ambassador Stevens and Information Officer Sean Smith. The mob sets fire to the 17th of February Brigade barracks on site.

DS agent Scott Strickland moves Stevens and Smith to the closest area "safe haven" in Building C.

The other agents, currently in Building B and the TOC come under attack.

The attackers gets into Building C, lights furniture on fire, then the building's exterior. Stevens, Smith and Agent Strickland move to the bathroom and lay on floor but decide to leave safe haven after being overcome by smoke.

Strickland goes out an emergency escape window. Stevens and Smith do not follow. Strickland returns several times but can't find them in the overwhelming smoke. He goes up to the roof and radios the other agents.

Three agents return to Building C via armored vehicle. They search and find Smith's body, but not Stevens.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is told of the incident "shortly after it began at 4 p.m.," CBS News' Margaret Brennan reported Sept. 14. Clinton spoke to the Libyan President Mohammed Magariaf to "enlist his full support."

Meanwhile, the U.S. military began moving an unarmed drone over Benghazi to provide real-time intelligence to the CIA team on the ground. It would take roughly an hour to arrive.

10:05 p.m. (4:05 p.m. ET): An alert from the State Department Operations Center is issued to a number of government and intelligence agencies, including the White House Situation Room, the office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the FBI. "US Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi Under Attack" -- "approximately 20 armed people fired shots; explosions have been heard as well. Ambassador Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four COM (Chief of Mission/embassy) personnel are in the compound safe haven."

10:25 p.m. (4:25 p.m. ET): A six-member CIA team arrives from the annex with 40 to 60 members of 17th of February Brigade. The team removes Smith's body.

Around 10:30 p.m. (4:30 p.m. ET): Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and his top military adviser learn of the incident.

10:54 p.m. (4:54 p.m. ET): An alert from the State Dept. Operations Center: "the firing... in Benghazi has stopped. A response team is on site attempting to locate COM personnel."

11 p.m. (5 p.m. ET): Just ahead of the weekly meeting with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Chairman of Joint Chiefs Martin Dempsey, White House National Security Advisor Tom Donilon tells President Obama of the attack and the fire at the main villa. The president and those officials discuss possible responses to the situation.

Not. Real unemployment already around 16%, and considering the employers who are also unemployed, Democrats have destroyed 20% of the economy since mid-term election 2006 when Pelosi/Reid stopped managing expenses and started the path to exponential government growth.

Other thing is stocks are one way to beat inflation, and with the fed printing cash electronically (faster than mechanically), you know inflation is coming.

I’m not buying the bear argument until there is no more profits happening.

FOX other problem is fair and balanced allows for being WRONG as a valid alternative, Ex: they let Democrat Economist go on about how raising taxes on the private sector causes economic growth...
