This is not truth-seeking: it’s called mitigation. Get out in front of a PR disaster: admit to it, say you’re sorry, fire a few stupid underlings, and you’re good.
The media knows they have to work on this—so they will. But you must understand, at the end of the day morality, ethics and the law mean nothing to these vermin. Only maintaining power in the hands of the ONE will do.
Excellent summary and right on.
Also it’s possible they know more than we do and what they know or sense from their contacts at State and the WH is it is going to get much worse, and it’s time to pretend to be real journalists for a while.
They will try to skew it as just incompetence, with no malice intended. However, how can you not come to the aid to exfil Americans under fire? Who gave the ultimate order not to intervene? How could they say they possibly wouldn’t arrive in time if they don’t know how long the attacks would last?
Hillary Clinton guilty of dereliction of duty, as is Leon Panneta. Obama is guilty of condemning brave Americans working in the most dangerous place in the to death without assistance from its country.
In the future it will be difficult for the obotos to bring up the fact that Obama got bin Ldaen when Ben Ghazi got Obama.
There is written evidence in existence to prove who issued that order. That order came out of the White House. I have no doubt that Obama issued it under Valarie Jarret's direction.
This is either a case of gross incompetence or gross dereliction of duty for political reasons. Obama's minions will plead gross incompetence. Is that impeachable? Probably not. The real reason is gross dereliction for political reasons. Is that impeachable? In 2013 America, doubtful.
Just think about it, 15,000 Russian stinger style missiles that jihadists can use to bring down aircraft flying at 20 thousand feet or lower. There will not be a safe airport in the entire world, thanks to Obama. Imagine the uses that Hamas will have for such arms.
Those two missiles fired at that Russian airliner over Syria were REAL. Thank god they really missed. Wait till the first American airliner has to resort to evasive measures... this cat ain’t going back in the bag.
POTUS just can't go off the grid, especially during a time of crisis. Remember how the MSM ripped Bush because he listened to advice and didn't immediately return to DC after 9/11?
What we do know is that Obama NEVER went to the WH Situation Room. So, where was he, and with who? Taking a golf lesson, playing BBall? Was Reggie Love in town that day?
Hmmm, did they see their new Obamacare insurance premiums or something?
Some Freeper explained it well yesterday:
If you see a child struggling in the deep water off shore, you don't try to make a judgement and say "he'll drown before I can get there", you go.
You might save him.
If he drowns before you get there, then you did your best.
If you don't go, and he drowns, there's no honor in that.
If you don't go, and he doesn't drown, there's no honor in that, either.
The white house will make a phone call the head guy at msnbc and they will go back and get their knee pads.
Exactly. But the BIGGEST MISTAKE conservatives make is to assume the LEFT has the same deep respect for American values as we do. The LEFT has complete contempt for traditional codes of morality and ethics. The LEFT respects the law only to the extent it gives them power and control over the individual. The US Constituion for the most part is a nuisance to them. To the Communist, the law does not encode freedom—it provides a mechanism to enslave. When MSNBC seems to agree with us, it’s always a subterfuge.
I have to believe that those who are still watching MSNBC are those rare few who have died in their recliners with the TV on, years ago, and have yet to be discovered.
A caller to Rush explained it well, too.... we were painting a target that some fighters in Sicily could have gotten to in 20 MINUTES and scattered the attackers, ending it.
The Ambassador’s ‘puppets’ killed him, according to a source the minute it was being reported on FNC.
When MSNBC seems to agree with us, it’s always a subterfuge.
Good question.
I believe he was upside down on his Teeter Hang-up-— teaching Michele how to use knee pads. (She’s a slow learner.)
The two dumbos think it’s a sex toy.
ROTFLOL.
“What everyone should be focusing on is the reason given for not sending help, and who issued that order. The excuse for not sending help was that, “it would have taken too long to get there”. How did they know that help would not have been needed in four or six or ten hours?”
Exactly. Even if they knew for a fact it was “too late,” (which itself invites questions), they should at least have had a compelling interest to PREVENT ESCALLATION and to SECURE THE SCENE AND PREVENT FURTHER LOSS OF INTELLIGENCE DATA.
And yet we continually see MSNBC posts: “Gee, even MSNBC admits that (fill in the blank).”
MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, Headline News, admit nothing—they are the public relations wing of the Democratic Party. Whatever they report is ultimately intended to protect and extend the power of the LEFT. Journalism ceased to exist decades ago. Why do my fellow convservative continue to be duped by this nonsense?
“Just think about it, 15,000 Russian stinger style missiles that jihadists can use to bring down aircraft flying at 20 thousand feet or lower.”
I have long suspected that, here in the USA, there are crates serving as coffee tables in living rooms (shades of college days)... each crate containing a missile... just waiting for the day...
Color me whatever (my give.a.damn is busted), but #3 has my vote.
I’m not big on conspiracy theories but I must admit I like this one ...
I read a speculation that the real reason for Benghazi attack was for Ambassador Stevens to be taken captive and later traded with the muzzies for the Blind Sheik. If I’m not mistaken, didn’t I hear Benghazi was just a CIA outpost and not a consulate that would require better security?
Kidnapping would explain why the hell Stevens was in Benghazi in the first place, and why our forces were ordered to stand down (to make the operation safer for the kidnappers). Woods and Doherty screwed up Obummer’s plans by shooting back, turning a simple snatch-and-grab into a firefight.
I’m still watching for verification on any of this, but it does provide a little popcorn to go along with the main event.
In my opinion, it doesn’t matter WHY msnbc turned on 0, the fact is that’s where LIV (low information voters) hangs out.
Media are very competitive organizations and this is like snowball starting to roll down the hill.
“I wasn’t involved in the talking points process.... As I understand it, as I’ve been told, it was a typical interagency process where staff, including from the State Department, all participated, to try to come up with whatever was going to be made publicly available, and it was an intelligence product.”
“With all due respect,the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided to go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?”—Hillary Clinton
