The mainstream press will bury it or try; Obama knows that the Congress - no matter who controls it - will do nothing; the military brass are too cowed to do anything. Really - there are only a few voices and those are shouted down and marginilized. Obama has nothing to fear. He is not incompetent or stupid or naive. He knows exactly what he is doing and so far it is smooth sailing for him.

I am surprised, but shouldn’t be, that many Americans are viewing these revelations about this deserting POS as simply an attempt to strike at Obama and his administration.

There's that AND the unmitigated gall for them to proclaim that "we leave no American behind."

Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty could not be reached for comment.

I agree. The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt claims to have dirt (documents) on 0bama, relating to his membership in the MB. It is believed that Morsi had attackers in Benghazi, so one could presume Zero is being blackmailed not to pursue the Benghazi attackers, or either his membership in the MB will be revealed, or Benghazi being a plot by Morsi/Hillary to kidnap Stevens in exchange for the Blind Sheik will be revealed.

By the way, do we have any proof the Blind Sheik is still in U.S. custody?

I can not believe that this adminstration took this risk at this time, opening up, yet, another scandal.

I know what you're saying. They have badly calculated the downside. I do not think they saw the men who were on the ground coming forward. I have had CNN on all morning and they are hitting it hard.

WH Press Briefing with Carnry at 12:45 ish - fwiw

The first clue is dad’s savage beard.

Indeed. If we take his reasoning at face value, wanting to be amenable to discussions with the captors - and that’s a mighty big if - will he shave it off lest he spark PTSD in his son when he sees his dad look like one of those captors? I think the father’s grooming over the next few days will be telling.

What a joke we’ve become to the world since this entitled pretender took over.

Obama’s “hero” POW left his perimeter outpost and walked off into the night. His unit was ordered out to find him and 6 of his unit died in the search. If Obama hangs a model on this mutt, it’s an insult to our past & present serving military.

There is a lot about this situation that is galling. Nearly every aspect of it.

To say you aren’t going to negotiate with terrorists when a real soldier is held is one thing, and I can see a lot of difficulty.

I just don’t see it for an anti-American SOB who betrayed his fellow soldiers and got some of them killed as they looked for him is afforded that same consideration.

Are we about to now bring a trained terrorist back into the fold?

This was only done to shift the focus away from the VA and Benghazi, STOP TAKING THE BAIT.

0bama has been insulting and disrespecting the military since day one, and the senior officer corps and congress have allowed him to use the armed forces as his personal social laboratory.

Ridiculous. You are suggesting we ignore lawlessness. Not gonna happen.

If you really want to puke, watch Allen Colmes trivialize the deaths of the soldiers who were killed looking for the traitor.

my uncle was a POW of the Japanese for 4 years. He was well over 6 feet and built like a linebacker. When he came home from the Phillipines he was 89 lbs and the family couldn’t see him at first. This guy walked off the plane and I called BS immediately. He looks quite pampered, not like a POW.

Thankfully, I do not cross paths with the Crypt Keeper. But, my imagination is enough.

I was unfamiliar with La Brigada de San Patricio. Very interesting. Wiki says:
The Batallón de San Patricio is memorialised on two separate days; 12 September, the generally accepted anniversary of the executions of those convicted by the U.S. Army of desertion at time of war, and 17 March, Saint Patrick’s Day.

I’m expecting the schools in California to forbid the display of U.S. flags on Sept. 12 so the children of the invaders can celebrate without any disruptions.
