Due to restrictions on posting articles from the Las Vegas newspaper, I can't post the link, so you will have to go there on your own, but it is a well written editorial. The title is: Benghazi blunder: Obama unworthy commander-in-chief
Scathing
Yes, the Democrat machine is super strong in Clark County. The unions demand that their people vote and tell them who to vote for. I am sure that plenty of illegals vote. There is nothing to stop them. It is an honor system, and there is plenty of dishonor among the democrats here.
looks like only 14k people have viewed the hearings on october 10th
http://oversight.house.gov/hearing/the-security-failures-of-benghazi/
the focus (so far.. only 1 hr in) seems to be about improving security AND NOT about the actions taken that day by command
has anyone received any confirmation on why Gen. Ham and Adm. Gaouette
also, has anyone seen this:
i would chalk it up to crazy internet crap... except its on veteranstoday.com
Why? Because it will expose a traitor who currently sits in the highest public office in our land...
‘Benghazi Reveals Obama-Islamist Alliance’
The nature of the Benghazi disaster is now clear. Ambassador Stevens was engaged in smuggling sizable quantities of Libyan arms from the destroyed Gaddafi regime to the Syrian rebels, to help overthrow the Assad regime in Syria. Smuggling arms to the so-called “Free Syrian Army” is itself a huge gamble, but Obama has been a gambler with human lives over the last four years, as shown by the tens of thousands of Arabs who have died in the so-called Arab Spring — which has brought nothing but disaster to the Arab world...

“How, OblameA hasn’t been taken to task over this is truly disgusting.”
Proves once and FOR ALL, the corruption of the so called ‘media.’ The Corrupt Media (as they call it on Breitbart) is absolutely disgusting. They’re the worst Rats out there...
About That ‘Facility’
As was noted on AT recently, a retired State Department Foreign Service Officer said: “Our Benghazi facility was a half-baked operation. It was not a consulate. It was a ‘facility’ with an ambiguous purpose, at least as far as the unclassified world is concerned.”
If it was not a consulate, then it was not sovereign United States territory. This fact has important legal consequences — as was only just touched upon (at ~13:00, but pick up at ~10:00 for full context) by Newt Gingrich on Fox News in his appearance on Greta Van Susteren’s Oct. 30 show (caution: auto-play).
One of these consequences may be that the United States had no “legal” authority under international law unilaterally to violate sovereign Libyan airspace by sending in a military force or by engaging attackers with U.S. aircraft, irrespective of the fact that U.S. citizens, including an ambassador, were the ones being attacked.
The purpose of this “facility” and its associated “safe-house” is increasingly becoming less ambiguous, as J.D. Longstreet points out:
That CIA “safe-house” has troubled me from the very beginning. ... What was the CIA doing there? There was no embassy in Benghazi. In fact, the building attacked was not even a consulate. If anything, it was a “mission” ... this was NOT an embassy.
It no longer reasonably can be denied that what was going on in Benghazi was “Fast and Furious in the Maghreb” being run by Ambassador Stevens, et al. at the direction of “fill in the blank.”
He continues:
A few weeks ago, there was a report that Libyan militia members had been ordered to turn-in the weapons that had been supplied them in their struggle to overthrow Qaddafi. That report confirmed that many of those weapons had been turned in. Where did those weapons go? Perhaps, to the Syrian rebels? It has been suspected for some time now that the US has been supplying small arms to the rebels in Syria for a while-even though the Obama Administration denies it.
Read the rest of that whole piece and see if you concur that “there was a covert operation underway-one so black that sacrificing the lives of four Americans was deemed ‘worth it’ by our leaders in Washington.”
The central issue at the heart of the Benghazi fiasco and cover-up would appear to be that Team Obama cannot admit that it could not use the military to combat this attack on this “black” operation, the existence of which it cannot admit.
As put by Bob Owens:
We’ve also heard claims about why Ambassador Stevens was in Benghazi to begin with: some sources suggest this was part of an Obama administration plot to arm Syrian rebels. ... If Ambassador Stevens was facilitating weapons transfers from Libya to Syrian Islamist forces aligned with al-Qaeda, via his Turkish alliance, then we are at a troubling, perhaps catastrophic point in this republic’s history. We have been at war with the Islamist hydra of al-Qaeda for more than a decade, and now sources are accusing a sitting president of arming this enemy.
In the words of Sir Walter Scott, “Oh! what a tangled web we weave When first we practice to deceive!”
Thus far, the consulate vs. “facility” issue, not surprisingly, seems not to have been noted elsewhere.

Yep. My only question is whether these people are being prevented from talking, or whether they are voluntarily not talking. My guess would be the former.
“The Corrupt Media” - all we need to recall is DaN RaTHer and CbS to know what we’re dealing with here...if they create out of whole cloth fabrications re: politics, we can be sure they’ll cover up with just as much vigor.
Sickening. They are the worst RATS, as they pretend to be ‘professional’ and ‘objective.’
that picture answers my question, those are not Obama’s people...he is a racist...
After reading the editorial and all the comments, I don’t understand how Nevada is in Obama’s camp. How can that be?
Well out of context that looks like it written in stone.
But the next sentence says "until the lawsuit brought against us by them is resolved."
The lawsuit was resolved.
Context is important...
Not only was it resolved, but Righthaven lost and the ones who could afford the high lawyer fees to fight it (FR could not) did not have to pay off the lawyer scums that did all of this.
PS I always like to be pinged along with the mods NOT lol! Heh, I don't like the attention...
“These behaviors go far beyond “spin.” They amount to a pack of lies. To return to office a narcissistic amateur who seeks to ride this nation’s economy and international esteem to oblivion, like Slim Pickens riding the nuclear bomb to its target at the end of the movie “Dr. Strangelove,” would be disastrous.”
Why not a front page article?

Ah, thanks Sycro.
Nice to see you, hope all is well!!
In black and white. At last.
I am an engineer.
Therefor I am naturally humor impaired and not likely to understand it without assistance.
Thanks!
Cheers!
My understanding is the enthusiasm is way down in Clark Co. but Washoe is the deciding factor here any way you look at it.
Washoe went for Bush in 2000 and 2004.
