Who can forget Obama and Hillary's love fest on CBS' 60 Minutes?

Obomba hustled Hillary on 60 Minutes to gaze in adoration,
after Hill's arrogant dismissal of the Benghazi massacre before
Congress. I thought sure Obama was gonna give 'er a B/J on
broadcast tv....he was THAT grateful.

=================================================

Even more problematic for the opportunistic Clintons is that Boobamba's serial incompetence is imperiling Hillary's 2016 ambitions. Running in the toxic fallout of a two-term blundering black president is a Sisyphian challenge.

For sure CBS will allot ample airtime so that Hillary emerges pure and virginal for 2016. CBS will suckup and give her 2-3 segments to explain away foreign policy flops....and Benghazi.

The words "Blame Republicans" are already forming on Hilly's virginal lips.

===================================================

Hillary's cover story was leaking like a sieve----to cover-up her incompetence. We later discovered the U.S. military was fully capable of responding to the Benghazi Consulate attacks within 3 – 4 hours.

Admiral Lyons – who commanded the Pacific Fleet and has extensive professional, direct knowledge of U.S. military capabilities – explains in detail what capabilities we had in the region and why F-16’s from Italy could have been buzzing the compound and strafing the attackers with machine gun fire within 4 hours or less....... the U.S. military could probably have saved the last two Americans to die in the attacks.....

==============================================

MILITARY.COM reported (during the post-Morsi ousting in Egypt), that US Pentagon officials declined to give specifics on conversations between DOD's Chuck Hagel and brilliant tactician Egyptian Gen al-Sisi (now Egypt's president).

(NOTE Gen al Sisi, 58, received a masters degree from the U.S. War College in Carlisle, Pa, in 2006. The General is revered by Egyptians for routing the Muslim Brotherhood which Egyptians consider a terrorist organization.)

Although officials would not discuss the specifics of the military-to-military talks, the US would have needed Gen al-Sisi's approval to move through Egyptian air space if Washington decided to send Marines to aid in the evacuation of U.S. personnel in the post-Morsi chaos.

READY TO ROLL About 550 Marines and their tilt-rotor MV-22 Osprey aircraft are at bases in Spain and Italy on standby if they are needed. A Navy Amphibious Ready Group with 4,000 Marines and sailors aboard, led by the helicopter assault ship Kearsarge, was also in the region following completion of the Eager Lion training exercises in Jordan.

=====================================

AIN'T KARMA A *ITCH, HILLARY? the US helicopter assault ship Kearsarge, WAS in the region, ready to airlift Benghazi personnel to safety. If Hillary did not know the Kearsage was ready to roll, she's as incompetent as the rest of them..... her all-girl State Dept and the venal Obama admin.

Fact is, Americans were lied to----we were told men and materiel were not available to help endangered Americans in Benghazi.

Mohammad Morsi’s #1 campaign pledge to Egypt was to get the Blind Sheik released from U.S. custody. Hillary decided to offer up Ambassador Stevens as a hostage by stripping him of his security but things went south when the fires got out of control...

If Trey holds off disclosing for years he is done. America is depending on him to release now. We are fed up with delays that have destroyed America.

Hillary's book also has a sort-of explanation about Benghazi---but it is a political Catch 22 as she defends the Bergdahl swap ON TOP OF her Benghazi fairy tales.

THE WORM SQUIRMS----she's being forced to express diametrically opposing views---approving the Bergdahl swap b/c of her "concerns" about Bergdahl's well-being......at the same time she's forced to answer why she abandoned four Americans to their savage fate in Benghazi.

=============================================================

BACKSTORY---News hound Bob Woodward Definitely Doesn’t Buy Hillary’s Benghazi Denial. Woodward doesn’t believe Hillary's whine that "it's all about politics." The reporter known for making news claims there are still “serious, unanswered questions about this.”

Hillary's book, Hard Choices, stoutly declares that everything there is to know about Benghazi has already been revealed....she is hoping to silence Republicans by charging politics is behind the continuing probe.

Bob Woodward will not be dissuaded. ".....one of the questions I have -- did she keep a diary? Obama confirmed to Woodward that he keeps a diary. Woodward noted. “Ronald Reagan kept a very detailed diary of Iran Contra, and he finally turned it over.”

The veteran Post reporter also knocked Clinton and Obama....... noting Benghazi is not about partisan politics, as they stoutly aver.

“There are facts,” Woodward asserted on Fox News. “There is neutral inquiry. And there is a way to look at this and get that information and see if there is new information.”

Excellent and comprehensive summmary of Trey Gowdy’s off-camera leadership of the Benghazi committee hearings. If there’s ever to be a chance of justice for this administration’s responsibility in the brutal deaths of 4 Americans, Gowdy’s the guy to do it. I’m glad he’s a pitbull and not a glory hog.

Egypt's Mohammad Morsi’s #1 campaign pledge was to get the Blind Sheik released from U.S. custody. Hillary decided to offer up Ambassador Stevens as a hostage by stripping him of his security but things went south when the fires got out of control...

It should be remembered that while Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood were in charge in Egypt, Obama and Hillary showered them with praise and provided billions of dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes.

Egypt has unceremoniously thrown the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyptian politics.... and hasn’t forgotten the support offered to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Egypt has now charged Obama and Hillary Clinton for conspiring and collaborating with the M/B and advancing their terrorist activities. Hillary's pal, al Haddad, is also sitting in an Egyptian jail (reported by H/T Western Journalism).

==============================================

Here's a job for President al Sisi---should he choose to accept it:

Obama’s stated intention to work with allies to “make ISIS a manageable problem" is ISIS' control of lucrative oil fields in Iraq and Syria.

The mention of ISIS' oil wealth makes one wonder if ISIS struck a deal w/ neocon godfather--Richard Perle---who was staring his own oil company in Iraq----according to the WSJ.

==================================================

REFERENCE POINTS---Circa 2008, the WSJ reported neocon Richard Perle was talking with a "Turkish" firm, AK Group International, and also a representative from the government of Kazakhstan.

They are targeting the co-called "K18 concession" which is near the city of Erbil and is estimated to hold 150 million or more barrels of oil.

Houston-based Endeavour International would conduct the exploration and drilling, according to the Journal.

During the run-up to the Iraq war, Perle was chairman of the Defense Policy Board, which advises the US Pentagon. He was also a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think-tank in Washington.

A (DHS) Intelligence Information Report (focusing on one small region of the vast US-Canadian border) reveals that as of September 9, 2014, there have been 155 encounters in the area “involving African nationals---344 Somalis, 21 Ethiopians, five Kenyans, two Djiboutians, and so on....

Days after the Canadian soldier was shot dead at the military shrine, a hatchet-wielding man, a member of the hallowed "religion of peace," savagely attacked and wounded NYC police officers. Later, kind and compassionate progressive City Officials said they "didn’t believe" the axe-killer had any connection to terrorism......

Of course not...only an intolerant racist would think this kindly man with an axe is (horrors) an actual "terrorist." In fact, the peace-loving axe-wielder meant no harm....he was here at the express invitation of the progressive Obama administration. Read on.

DHS SIGNS OFF ON Obama admin's law to let
into the US, immigrants with 'limited' terror contact

The Daily Caller | 2/5/14 / FR Posted by Nachum

The Obama administration has issued new exemptions to a law that bars certain asylum-seekers and refugees who provided “limited material support” to terrorists who are believed to pose no threat from the U.S.

The Department of Homeland Security and the State Department published the new exemptions Wednesday in the Federal Register to narrow a ban in the Immigration and Nationality Act excluding refugees and asylum seekers who had provided limited material support, no matter how minor, to terrorists.

“These exemptions cover five kinds of limited material support that have adversely and unfairly affected refugees and asylum seekers with no tangible connection to terrorism: material support that was insignificant in amount or provided incidentally in the course of everyday social, commercial, family or humanitarian interactions, or under significant pressure,” a DHS official explained to The Daily Caller.

Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson and Secretary of State John Kerry signed the exemptions. DHS contends that the law change is “commonsense” and that immigration procedures will remain the same in other respects. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...

==================================================

THIS NEEDS TO GO VIRAL: Americans demand to know what exactly did the remaining straggle of Democrats do about Obama letting terrorists into the US.

I agree. Disclose it all now. Let the chips fall where they may. It’s getting to the point that I avoid listening to any politicians at all since I hear so many lies and BS.

There is not one single politician in Washington DC that is not expendable. They can all be replaced!

Many conservatives have been pushing for Rep. Trey Gowdy (R, SC) to play his cards, even as his investigators continue to conduct their probe far from the media spotlight.

I, for one, trust Rep. Gowdy.

I think he understands that if he leaks findings to the press to satisfy someone's lack of patience, that it will only allow the MSM to build a defense for the democrats...and then we'll never learn the truth.

OTOH, if he does a 'shock and awe' approach, then we'll learn the truth.

There is a possibility, a strong one, that the Libyan CIA mission was to transfer weapons to a Syrian group that (knowingly or unknowingly) became a part of ISIS....If this is the case, I want Trey Gowdy to build the strongest case possible with NO holes for the MSM to exploit.

Patience, my fellow conservatives.

Bonehead is running guard for the DC establishment on the entire House body as well as Gowdy getting to the truth on the Benghazi massacre. Gowdy will have to resign from the Congress if he is to ever report the truth.

Conflicts with what I'm hearing.

The press is going to eat this up; not want to hide it like they have so much other Benghazi "news". Stay tuned.
