Fox News anchor Bret Baier, who has been a leader in coverage of the situation in Benghazi, confirms more tips are being received.
Yes, he is doing everything he can to support this administration without regard to the truth. He can spout all he wishes but he should at least question what is coming out of this administrations spokesman - don’t you think?
They have been lying through their teeth (easily determined - but of course you would say being political) and you wish to support Geraldo supporting them?
I don’t mind lefty’s supporting Obama as long as they are truthful and don’t just spout the propaganda. There are many on the left who can’t abide with the outright lying and obfuscation by this White House crew.
Thank you
Was Keane implying we did not use a drone or other air support in Benghazi because we wanted to avoid collateral damage?
Yes, if Romney wins (almost assured), he should purge many groups including the military if he wants to remove the leftist ideology from within.
Hey, what am I thinking, that would remove 60% of our government...geez.
The look on Geraldo’s face while he was shaking his head followed by that kiss was beyond creepy.
I do believe there are plenty of career civil servants in the various national security agencies that don’t like The Regime. The Obamunist can’t keep them down, and DC is leaking like a seive.
Meanwhile, Fox is the only ones to take advantage. Others may follow post-election, but for now, Fox needs to keep doing what they are doing (saving America) and beware of plants and set-ups.
This was my original thought on the WH strategy. However, I heard that we suffered huge intelligence damage, and lost huge amounts of intelligence info.
I’m wondering why the WH didn’t do something to damage the consulate enough to destroy all information. We already know the WH doesn’t value our human life, but does value our enemies’ lives.... but what about protecting our intelligence?
One could infer that but his main argument was there was no air or rapid reaction force that could reach them. I think this is a lie because the Seal was painting the mortar position. He certainly wasn’t playing laser tag.
Just take care of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Communists will always be with us and can be kept out of leadership positions and slapped down when they get uppity.
Gen. Carter Ham, Commander of AFRICOM?

If indeed the former SEALs were painting a mortar position with a laser, one wonders what they believed might be able to put some steel on target.
But at the end of the day, even if one accepts the notion that a military option was too risky, why were the American People lied to for weeks on end?
It's the last part that should lead to senior officials losing their jobs. In an old school Westminster style government, Hillary Clinton would have been sacked a month ago. But does this go into the Oval Office?
That is who I was thinking but don’t remember for sure.
people will be talking about this for 100 years
it is amazing that only 45 seconds were devoted to it on the sunday shows
They did insert a ground team. That is how they got the 30ish people out of there. But those guys were caught up in Libyan red tape trying to get permission to go to the safe house and in getting transport to the safe house. Someone was too cowardly to shoot via air or was waiting for permission from the Libyans.
It's 467 miles from Naval Air Station Sigonella (on Sicily) to Benghazi. The gunship in question, the AC-130U maximum speed is 300 mph. So figure a couple of hours. Plenty of time to be relevant, at least with regard to the two SEALs killed by mortar fire, reportedly while painting the mortar crew with a laser designator.
Of course, if it's really true they were using a laser target designator, that means there must have been something up in the air that could make use of the target paint. Perhaps an armed drone? Or maybe a gunship actually was on site but was told to hold its fire.
And the forces that did go in were held up by the Libyans for 40 minutes at the airport.
Then why is the Zero Admin full of different versions and stonewalling?
Yes, but the question that was help available was wrong on its face! If it was not available, then the military was not prepared and is another bad problem (and actually I have to believe it was). If Geraldo was going to be thorough he would had continued this line of questioning.
There is little doubt that POTUS and the Administration stonewalled and provided conflicting information, it is simply a matter of why at this point. Geraldo does not seem to grasp the concept (against his liberal beliefs).
