Those in charge of this, overseeing the results of further examiniation of what happened, should be aware that when they are lied to by this man, there will be a scapegoat and it will be very difficult to detect, as these people (he) will fabricate events that will make others turn to the scapegoat for answers while he flies off to the golf game he so richly deserves.
Just look at the way he gets even us to turn against each other.
From Pat Buchanan to Laura Ingraham, people were roaring about how Romney should’ve hammered him on Libya. No, the press should have. Certainly Bob Scheiffer should have.
Charlles Krauthammer stayed in the “that’s not Romney’s job Here” column. He (CK) is a psychiatrist.
By the way, Romney knows too. He has experts who tell him to stay off of these topics as Ob will stick to him like slime from a MIB alien. RR know how desperate Ob is and what he’ll do to remain where he is.
Staying on topic is key.
Ob has no chance against the special forces guys. They, out of survival, must treat their job performance with complete honesty. Woods had to ignore (if true) orders to stand down. His job is to protect the embassy to the death. He won’t be used as a scapegoat.
They and RR have Ob running nervous, but not finished, as he planned to blame them.
Everyone else is fair game.
Ob is better at turning people against each other than Bill Clinton is at lying.

Narcissism Understood
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - The personality disorder that destroys relationships, families and lives
by Melanie Tonia Evans
“Narcissistic Personality Disorder . . . a person who is never wrong, never sorry and believes it is always someone else’s fault? Have you ever experienced an individual who’s non-accountable for their behaviour and doesn’t learn despite the mayhem and pain they produce? Have you witnessed an individual who has no tolerance for the slightest criticism, even when given constructive advice?
Another symptom of narcissism is pathological lying. . .
. . . To be honest (and therefore vulnerable) terrifies the narcissist. . . He needs to uphold lies so people don’t discover the truth of who he really is. The narcissist finds comfort in not being pinned down, and not being accountable. More lies are necessary to cover up a previous lie. The pathological lies become malignant and the high-level narcissist scripting an illusionary life begins to believe his own versions. This is why pathological lying is so hard to detect, and may even pass a polygraph.
Additionally the narcissist doesn’t suffer a guilty conscience. He believes he’s entitled to lie. It’s the only way he knows how to operate in a world of ‘me versus you’ without the emotional resources to trust. . . They don’t trust anyone. The narcissist makes sure he gets you before you can get him.
. . . He will twist and turn facts and create imaginary allies to back up “I’m right and you’re wrong”. He will tell intricate and explicit lies to hit your weak points.
. . . you couldn’t fathom an adult lying in such detail unless it was the truth, and what’s more he doesn’t care who he degrades, damages or discredits in the lies.”
The American voters are accountable for whom they put in charge of the military, at least, if they don’t find it important to be careful to put in charge of the nation, someone at least in touch with the basic virtues and their importance in daily living.
Excellent post. Whatever else he may or may not be, it’s safe to say he is one sick cookie.
