So....because they said it....that means its true? And.....if it is true...all these folks should be court marshalled for leaving our forces unprotected in this kind of situation!!!!

[shalom aleichem]

Listening to advice and “taking” it are of course two different things.

Here is a good excerpt on Bob Schiefer talking to Sharyl At
Atkisson of CBS news.

She has keep Benghazi and Fast & Furious alive at CBS and in drive-by media

[Cheerio]

BTW, does anyone remember the last day in Vietnam and the rooftop of our embassy in Saigon? There was an army of 10,000+ bearing down on the city. Did our military hierarchy say, “Well, too bad, we’ll just have to let the diplomats be captured, tortured or murdered.”

You are so correct!!!

So....because they said it....that means its true? And.....if it is true...all these folks should be court marshalled(sic) for leaving our forces unprotected in this kind of situation!!!!

I have a hard time believing anything this Administration says. Yes, if they are telling the truth, they should be court-martialed.

“14 news organizations including Fox.”

Do you who was representing FNC? I was wondering why Ed Henry wasn’t in the public presser, but rather Wendell Goler. Just curious if Ed or Wendell was in the secret presser. Ed Henry IMHO, from what I’ve seen from replays on Fox, usually does a fairly decent job of asking questions. Wendell not as much (he’s better than many in the pressers, but left-leaning and more sympathetic to Obummer just the same).

[Girlene]

Pat, your post made me tear up AND laugh. Lily will come around.

[kabar]

I don’t know who represented Fox.

I think zero is totally insulated 24/7 from anything that happens.Unless he runs his mouth when he shouldn't or gets off prompter he's teflon.

We all know that valjar and mochhelle fight it out every day to see who will use the Presidential autopen and who will just watch. This bumbling Manchurian couldn't do the job of potus if he had to and he doesn't. He was probably told by jarrett to go to bed and head to vegas and keep on campaigning. What good would he be anyway. The moves made at Benghazi were decided by political strategy in mind nothing more.

[rodguy911]

I fished with my son-in-law and three other friends.We did charter and our captain was Capt. Steve Lamp of Dreamcatcher Charters.He loves to fish andis a former coastie and Marine.He and his wife Gen run a really well managed charter operation with 6 boats and links to charter almost anywhere. We fished near the Dry tortugas initially behind shrimp boats where Blackfin Tuna, Bonito and other fish roam looking for shrimp boat trawl "trash" which is swept off the deck by deckhands and act as chum. We did good and had two nice bonito from 10-15 lbs. which we used for bait. I got a 26 lbs Blackfin Tuna on 15 lb. spin and another guy had a smaller 16 lb. Blackfin also on artificial.

It was a ball.

Later we bottom fished and caught a couple of dozen grouper and lost a few big boys. Lamp describe the trip as poor but none of us were disappointed. Its along trip and he only has the 32 with twin 300's a few more weeks before he switches to all 22 foot center console skiffs with 300 hp mercs. If you haven't gone 55 mph on the water hanging on for dear life its a ball even at my age!! right now the hot bite off Key West is tarpon.Fish from 50-200 lbs. are being caught ever day and its a real blast.

[rodguy911]

As long as we don’t shoot the entire herd and then complain there is no one good to vote for....

[Alas Babylon!]

Wow, Rod, sounds like you had a blast!

[shalom aleichem]

Right! I haven’t seen such vivid descriptiveness since Jack London or Steinbeck.

Makes me wanna dig some worms and grab the cane pole.

[rodguy911]

It was truly great AB and thanks.I used to fish 2-3 times a week now it 3-4 time per year. I gotta go more.

[rodguy911]

Hahaha,thanks. I guess I do miss writing.
I was a fishing wrtier for 30 years.

[bert]

-—— I gotta go more.-——

Kayak...... flyrod

[rodguy911]

Kayaks are a great way to fish Bert. You can get where few others can go and stealthily. We made two models of kayak rods for a while but I'm so busy now we can't keep up with anything.

IMHO, you gotta be really good to manage fly rod and a kayak all in one motion,tough job.

[bert]

Think anchor. ( nylon cord tied to a 3 pound dumbbell)

Anchored the kayak is stable.

For an old guy, the fishing is the interlude between paddling that is the exercise reason for the kayak

[rodguy911]

Gotcha,its great fun no matter your venue, its all good.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Larri, are you payin attention?
