r”By force. I bet it is reluctantly on their part”

Being European I am reading different newspapers, hardly a word on Hussein and his cover up of Bengazigate.
Would President Bush have been involved in such a scandal, the newspapers would have gone wild with fury.
Hope it is the downfall of Hussein The Usurper, soon.

Don’t forget the butter.

Will be most interesting to see how the Rats try to squirm out of this!

Get Popcorn. Rats are scurrying this weekend to come up with meme for Sunday talk shows.

The meme will be that there was a turf war going on between the CIA and State and the WH had nothing to do with any of it other than one wording change to the TP. There's an article in the WP today to that effect and I assume that's what was discussed yesterday at the deep background private press briefing.

To summarize what Rush Limbaugh has been saying for days:

At about 5pm eastern time in Washington, we’re told that Obama met separately with Hillary Clinton and Leon Panetta telling each they needed to handle the attack in Benghazi.

Neither Hillary Clinton nor Panetta had the authority to order the military into action. And, conversely, neither could legally order the military to “stand down” during an attack on sovereign territory.

Obama’s whereabouts after 5 pm (Washington time) are undocumented. We are to believe Obama was having fish tacos and watching TV...while a terrorist attack was occurring on the 10 year anniversary of 9-11? Really?!?!?

Listen this genius King and his SOS Clinton is two of the most brilliant persons in America, so they say themselves. Then to follow they were at the bead of Benghazi and are responsible for the deaths of 4 Americans. They own it.

And both Obama and Clinton stood in front of those four caskets of the Americans they allowed to die and lied their asses off about an anti-Muslim video.

When will the producer of that video be freed from prison? Or will he be kept hostage by the government as long as the women in Cleveland were kept hostage by their captor?

One can only imagine the outrage if a Republican had been president during an event such as this. The liberal media jackals would have savaged him and demanded impeachment.

Books shojuld be coming out on how Obama put his election ambitions before the safety of American Citizens.
*******
Books should be written about how Obama, despite his outward and obvious contempt for this country and a deep seated disdain for our culture and history, was ever elected in the first place. His Trojan Horse “presidency” is one of the greatest frauds of all time.

Look to see War coming as Obama uses Wag the Dog to save his sorry butt. Its got to be big to distract the American people. Only a war, drone strikes, and video could be intense enough. I would think something in Africa? Maybe Iran? I should think Monday or Tuesday next week.

I believe we need to accept the fact that there will be no more “real” revelations regarding this event...

After the Sunday talk shows, we will probably not hear anything else about this...

The republicans gave it their best shot in that hearing this last week...that’ll be gthe last real effort on that scale to get someone to admit the truth...

Funny thing...We already know what the truth is, and getting some politician, to compel another politician to come clean...Is very unlikely at this point...

No need to get anyones bowels in an uproar over such a minor thing like editing “talking points”, ordering a “stand down” of forces to at least make the attempt to conduct relief or rescue ops...

I’d pretty much just let all this go, and wait to see what they ignore next...

No need to get yer blood pressure up anymore with this government...

Totally disagree. This will go on for months.

A part of me really agrees with your analysis...You may very well be right...

But then, who does that really benefit to drag this out???

What is going on right now is what should have been going on right after it happened, to this degree of public disclosure...

WE might very well be under the leadership of an entirely different “moderate” president...I know that is a stretch, and it would have been a decision I would have, yet again, had to hold my nose when I pulled that lever back in November...

Bottom line, most of us who can read between the lines, and look at it from their prospective, understand their motivations, realize the fallout of this attack, can understand why they did this...

You know...What is really funny...If Obama had gone in and really made an honest [choke, gag a maggot] attempt at putting some military force on the ground, no matter what the outcome would have been, he would have had a treemendous foriegn policy boost that would have guaranteed him no chance of losing that election...But as it stands I guess it really didn’t matter, because he is still there...

This was going to be a win/win for him anyway it played out...The republicans yet again. blew an opportunity to strike while the iron was hot, on allowing this to fester and give ALL the time in the world to feed the conspiracy theorists freakshow time to really muddy the process and hang that yoke directly upon the feckless republicans who failed to nail this [expletive deleted] to the wall, and anyone else involved in this debacle...

The republicans have had their chance...Any ongoing investigation will not have the same media hype and attention of anyone outside the beltway, for as long as it takes for those feckless wonders to realize they failed again...Much less garner ANY tangible political hit for any of the aforementioned people involved in the process...

Hillary is going to slide right into another presidential run, with Bill riding the coattails of that one for everything its worth...

Can you imagine the irony of possibly having a crony appointment to Secretary of State for Bill Clinton??? It might very well happen...

I gotta go throw up now...;-)
