"The ACLU gives her a 100..."

Its on Wiki.

[hummingbird]

"She’s not on the committee.."

Sheila Lee Jackson will find a way to be a part of these hearings.

She's an aisle hog and thinks the US flag was planted on Mars.

Don't get between her and a camera.

She quotes herself and gives herself a warm fuzzy feeling.

"david mcfarland tried to get locals in benghazi to respond to the attack”

Is McFarland one of the people who does not want to appear before committee?

If so, what is his current status? What was his status on 9/11/2012?

Perhaps the Serenity Prayer may help at times...

Obviously, your Bible seems to have helped.

But there are some folks on Freerepublic that allow some things to get to them...

There are certainly things we can change...

There are certainly things we cannot change...

Wisdom is needed...

I believe Obama will run for a third terrm.

And I believe he will get elected.......again.

“Does he have any specific power to protect the whistleblowers?”

Cummings could agree with Issa to subpoena (call on the carpet) any State Dept. functionary (now under Kerry) who would take any action to enforce the career dead-ending demotion and false adverse performance reviews in Hicks’s file that would prevent him from resuming his previous status.

If he runs, he will. If he decides to hell with another election, he will remain president for life, the main stream media will celebrate for a month and the only Congrseeional opposition will be Trey Gowdy and Ted Cruze.

IMHO this is the beginning of the end. Some Rs with spines - and some were displayed yesterday - who won’t give up - and the whistleblowers we heard, and ones in the wings - anything is possible.

Of course I want this to avalanche but I think it really may get the rocks rolling and once this blows wide open, it could open all kinds of other doors about crimes commited, Islamic influence in our gov, and just who the he!! is the guy in the WH.

"When it started, as far as they knew, it could have been an all-out attack or nothing- they had no way of knowing if it was going to be a 5 minute protest ar the beginning of a month-long seige... so, how would they know how long they had to respond?"

Good point; it never occurred to me. I hope this comes out in the hearings that they had made a decision of no deployment - on the timing.

Did they pick out an arbitrary number?

"Just noticed that. The blonde lady on his left seems so sad."

She really does. Is she the mother of one of the four.

Sunday is Mother's Day. That's got to be gut-wrenching.

[hummingbird]

How do you get those aerial photos?

Are they in real time?

"When did Hillary FIRST learn of Steven’s death? By whom?"

Did she wake Obama up? Did she contact Jarrett?

I'd like to see the timeline on who knew of ambassadors death and what kind of scrambling began.

[hummingbird]

"Stevens had a meeting with the Syrian Ambassador the evening of the attack."

He also had a meeting with a Turkish potentate that day.

Wonder how much time elapsed between his meetings and the attack.

[hummingbird]

"But yes, the security restrictions and Hillary! The plummeting sound we heard was her presidential chances."

If she is elected, we might as well call America the USSA........

[hummingbird]

"I am not sure why you are bringing up sending arms to Syria?"

There is a theory that has floated around, from time to time, that Iraq, during the war, convoyed WMD's to Bekka Valley in Syria.

Satellite photos indicate this is possible and, why there no WMD's detected in Iraq.

They had already been shipped to Syria and buried under the sand.

This is how I recalled situation at any rate. YMMV!!

I'm on (sleepy) allergy medicine so if I don't sound coherent, you can blame the allergy medication.

Other times I am incoherent, I have to own it myself. <8^)

[topher]

I remember about the WMD's to Syria.

My thoughts on that is that Israel will probably take care of it. They do not want Al Quada or others to get their hands on them.

And the fact the Syrian government has recently used WMD's, it seems to verify the story during the Iraq war.

My last reply to this (1165 of this thread) was really meant for Hummingbird.

In backtracking, I posted to the wrong person...

[hummingbird]

"Dems still grandstanding...."

Do they even know how ridiculous they sound and look?

When they hang out with each other, do each of them think OR feel that they are a cut above the rest. Because they are not.

[hummingbird]

"The kenyan sent a commissar from DC to keep an eye on Chafetz in Libya!"

"Lions, tigers and bears.....oh, my. Lions, tigers and bears....oh, my!"

Who was the DC commissar?

If he was being minded, did he know it?
