House Benghazi Report Concludes Something New That Aide Admits ‘Some People Are Going to Be Upset About’

The Blaze, Madeleine Morgenstern, February 10, 2014

A House committee formally concluded for the first time that there was no military “stand down” order given on the night of the deadly terror attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

It’s a finding that one committee aide acknowledged to TheBlaze, “some people are going to be upset about.” The allegation that the military was told to stand down on aiding the Americans in Benghazi has long been used to accuse the Obama administration of not doing enough to save the lives of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and others during the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks.

The Republican-led House Armed Services Committee, however, concluded in its new report that no such order was given; rather, Army Lt. Col. S.E. Gibson, then-head of the site security team at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, was ordered by higher commanders to remain in Tripoli, lest another attack take place there as part of a larger coordinated assault.

Hillary Clinton ‘certainly aware’ of security problems before Benghazi: report

The Washington Times, by Stephan Dinan, February 7, 2014

House Republicans on Friday issued a new report that says former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton “was certainly aware” of security problems in Libya ahead of the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi.

The new report also questions the validity of the State Department’s own internal review, known as the Accountability Review Board, saying it had serious deficiencies.

The Obama administration has pointed to that ARB review in arguing that blame for the attack lies with lower-level employees and doesn’t reach as high as Mrs. Clinton, but the report by Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee says she should have been held accountable.

The report also faults her and her successor, Secretary John F. Kerry, for failing to fire anyone for the security breaches that left four Americans, including the ambassador to Libya, dead.

What the president likely knew — and when he knew it

New Declassified Docs Expose Obama’s Benghazi Lies

Canada Free Press, By Arnold Ahlert, Tuesday, January 14, 2014

Newly declassified documents reveal that high-ranking members of the Obama administration were aware that the September 11, 2012 assault on the American consulate in Benghazi was a “terrorist attack” only minutes after the battle began.

In classified testimony given on June 26, 2013 to the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigation, Gen. Carter Hamm, former head of the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) revealed he was the one who broke the news to former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. According to declassified testimony obtained by Fox News, Hamm testified that he learned about the attack only 15 minutes after it began at 9:42 p.m. Libya time. Thus, the administration’s carefully crafted narrative that the attack was based on a video has once again been revealed for the lie it always was.

Obama’s ‘catch-me-if-you-can’ government lands him on most corrupt list - Washington Times

The nonprofit government watchdog Judicial Watch released its most recent annual list of “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” this week, and both political parties take a hit: House Speaker John Boehner’s there, as well as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

But topping the list: President Obama — for his “catch-me-if-you-can” manner of governing, Judicial Watch said.

On its website, the watchdog group wrote: “House Speaker John Boehner has apparently become a master at what Government Accountability Institute president Peter Schweizer calls the ‘Tollbooth Strategy,’ ” or when politicians charge interested parties money to move a bill through the legislative process.

And Mr. Boehner has used that method to “collect more than $200,000 in political donations from executives just days before holding votes on bills critically important to their industries,” Mr. Schweizer wrote, in his new book, “Extortion: How Politicians Extract Your Money, Buy Votes and Line Their Own Pockets, as cited by Judicial Watch.  (THIS IS A MUST READ BOOK FOLKS! ~ Lynn)

Mrs. Clinton, meanwhile, made the list for her famous Benghazi testimony, during which she responded to a question about the source of the attack, “What difference does it make?” Judicial Watch also said that “in addition to Hillary Clinton’s apparent cover-up of the role she played in the Benghazi tragedy and its aftermath, she left office in another ethical cloud about conflicts of interest in the activities of her longtime top aide Huma Abedin.”

Lloyd Marcus: NYT, Hillary & Obama's War on a Mom

January 2, 2014

In a shameless glaring act of hypocrisy to rehabilitate Hillary Clinton’s presidential aspirations, the New York Times published an article doubling down on the Obama Administration’s lie that the attack on our consulate in Benghazi was due to an anti-Islam video.

Meanwhile, the NYT, Hillary and Obama have displayed a “Pat who” attitude towards Pat Smith, the mother of Sean Smith who was killed in the Benghazi attack on Hillary’s watch as Secretary of State.

What makes the attitudes of these superior, arrogant and pompous liberals so hard to stomach is that they falsely portray themselves as champions of women.

In reality, NYT, Hillary and Obama consider American lives acceptable collateral damage in furthering their socialist/progressive agenda; Obama's vowed fundamental transformation of America.

Democrat Senator concedes Obama Lied about al-Qaeda

Even Democrats are not contesting that Barack Obama lied repeatedly about ObamaCare in order to get re-elected (they spin away from that issue as quickly and as abruptly as possible). Now, an extremely prominent Democratic Senator – Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) – seems to be conceding to another Obama lie, told in order to help him get… re-elected.
The 2012 Democratic National Convention took place from September 4th-6th. Five days after it ended, four Americans were murdered in Benghazi, in part, because of woefully inadequate security. The Obama administration lied for two weeks, saying the deaths were the result of a YouTube video. Something else happened at the Convention; we were told that al-Qaeda was “on the run”.
During an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, Feinstein, who also chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, told viewers that Americans are “not safer” than they were two years ago. Also, take note at the 1:00 mark, after Obama administration sycophant Candy Crowley is shocked to hear Feinstein say such things. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, agrees with Feinstein and says that:

The planned destruction of America

America, the Republic on life support: Prepare, Pray

By Doug Hagmann, Saturday, October 12, 2013 

The future of our Constitutional Republic is at stake and many Americans are angry. At least those who have been awakened to the world where they are pawns in a rigged game, and those who are not lining their pockets at the federal trough, are angry.

They are also trying to make sense of where we are today and how we got here. Even some of the “hope and change” supporters are angry at the continuity of agenda despite the change in American leadership. Then there are those who slumber in a world of denial, self-delusion and deception. Two distinctly different people in two remarkably different worlds, yet denizens of the same planet.
One world is where the television and radio pundits sanctimoniously scold us into believing that all is normal, and everything we see taking place today is merely the result of a growing acrimonious relationship between two political parties. They sit behind the microphones, in front of the TV cameras, write the newsprint, and dominate the internet with their matrix of mendacity. They are well-paid for keeping the public in the dark, and by confining public discourse to the limitations of mere political theater. Regardless of their political bent, they bully and mock those who disagree, and sneer at those who dare threaten the illusion of normalcy.

The other world is what is really taking place behind the scenes. The things we aren't supposed to know, as knowing would disrupt the plans of globalists and expose their lies. This is the real world, where a trail of cold, dead bodies exist from Benghazi to Boston, New York City to Baghdad. It is the world of false flags and assaults on our liberties. It consists of actual crimes committed in our name, with our money by our government, criminal acts rather than contrived political scandals. It is in this world that we learn that we really live in captivity under a ruling elite populating and influencing all political factions. To believe in this reality, however, is to be subjected to ridicule and satire, or to be put on a list of political dissidents.

In the more dominant and readily accepted world of make-believe, we are constantly bombarded by political theater. For the Progressive Obama supporters, the government shutdown and our date with financial default is due to the TEA Party republicans. For the republicans, it’s due to the policies of the democrats and the hard-line progressives that we’ve reached this point in our national history. In reality, however, it’s both sides, as both are different sides of the same coin - a coin embossed with the double headed eagle, or perhaps more appropriately, the mythical Phoenix.

It’s political theater at its finest, designed to keep the normal American busy in a hall of mirrors so we will not be able to see the bigger picture, the big lie that keeps the shackles around our necks and ankles.

What kind of president would throw in the world’s lot with evil al-Qaeda?

What kind of a president could reportedly sleep when four courageous Americans were being slaughtered in a terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya—but within a week of the first anniversary of the tragedy send the U.S. military to fight side by side with al-Qaeda in Syria?

What kind of president could play 15 rounds of Spades while the SEAL Team 6 sent by him was taking out Osama bin Laden?

What kind of president would allow his Secretary of State to announce to the world that Saudi Arabia would be willing to finance the U.S. attack on Syria?  John Kerry could have added and “we’ll borrow the rest from China”.

No kind of president.  And that’s precisely what Barack Hussein Obama really is.
Obama has always needed to be the ‘Man from Nowhere’ in order to avoid accountability for anything he does.

This ‘Man from Nowhere’ cuts and runs from his own words.  That’s what Obama did yesterday in Sweden when he said: “The World set the red line, not me”.

Like so many cowardly deniers in the world today, Obama refuses to acknowledge that in many places, including Syria, Muslims are killing Muslims. 

What kind of president on the day before he was to sell congress on attacking Syria, would send out a White House video addressing the Islamic Society of North America’s 50th annual convention, congratulating Muslims for “the many achievements and contributions they have made to American society from its early history to the present day”?

Syrian Rebels Connected to Benghazi Terrorists - CowboyByte

As President Obama prepares to make good on his Syrian “red-line” promise, new information shows the very people a U.S. strike would benefit are connected directly to the same al Qaeda terrorists who attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on 9/11.


U.S. intelligence agencies earlier this month uncovered new evidence that al Qaeda-linked terrorists in Benghazi are training foreign jihadists to fight with Syria’s Islamist rebels, according to U.S. officials. Ansar al-Sharia, the al Qaeda-affiliated militia that U.S. officials say orchestrated the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S. diplomatic compound and a CIA facility in Benghazi, is running several training camps for jihadists in Benghazi and nearby Darnah, another port city further east, said officials who discussed some details of the camps on condition of anonymity.

Extortion 17 is a Bigger Scandal and Betrayal than Benghazi

Extortion 17 could be a bigger scandal and betrayal of Americans than Benghazi. 

While Benghazi resulted in four American deaths, Extortion 17 resulted in 38 deaths, including nearly two dozen Navy SEALs. Many of these SEALs were made famous, credited with the killing of Osama bin Laden. The Chinook helicopter they were aboard was shot down by Taliban forces, which written testimony confirms knew theelite forces were coming into the area. Families are going after the Obama administration for what they believe were leaks that led to their family members’ deaths. According to Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee on National Security, “We’re going to dive into this.”

Billy Vaughn, father of slain Navy SEAL Aaron Vaughn, recently told Freedom Outpost that the family wants to see Vice President Joe Biden and former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta held accountable for national security breaches when they outed the SEALs.
Not only were the SEAL team members furious and shocked over the big mouths of the Obama administration beating its chest with pride over the success of killing bin Laden, but the families were equally enraged. The message compromised the safety of the unit, as well as their families.
At a gathering at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Washington, D.C. for the 50th anniversary of the Atlantic Council, a mere two days after the raid, Vice President Joe Biden remarked to the audience,

“Let me briefly acknowledge tonight’s distinguished honorees: Adm. Jim Stavridis is the real deal; he could tell you more about and understands the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable capacity of his Navy SEALS and what they did last — last Sunday.”
“And what was even more extraordinary was — and I’m sure former administration officials will appreciate this more than anyone — there was such an absolute, overwhelming desire to accomplish this mission that although for over several months, we were in the process of planning it, and there were as many as 16 members of Congress who were briefed on it, not a single, solitary thing leaked. I find that absolutely amazing,” Biden added.
Forget Edward Snowden. Joe Biden made one of the biggest leaks of national security information in recent history!

Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta made leaked similar information while in Afghanistan.

Karen Vaughn, joined by her husband Billy, on Fox News said, As soon as Joe Biden announced that it was a SEAL Team who took out Bin Laden, within 24 hours, my son called me and I rarely ever heard him sound afraid in his adult life…. He said, ‘Mom, you need to wipe your social media clean…your life is in danger, our lives are in danger, so clean it up right now’.”

WHITE HOUSE PUNTS ON WHETHER CIA EMPLOYEES ARE EXPERIENCING RETALIATION FOR TALKING ABOUT BENGHAZI

The White House on Thursday deferred questions about whether the CIA is cracking down on employees in order to prevent leaks about last year’s terror attacks in Benghazi.

CNN reported last week that the CIA has been regularly polygraphing employees to find out if they were talking to Congress about the Sept. 11, 2011 assault that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
Fox News’ Ed Henry asked whether Carney could assure Americans that was not the case.
“I don’t have any information on the CIA, individuals, or operations around the world,” Carney responded.
Clearly prepared for the question, Carney then read a statement previously released by the CIA in response to CNN’s report, claiming to have worked closely with Congress and being unaware of any intimidation.
“The CIA has worked closely with oversight committees to provide them with an extraordinary amount of information related to the event on U.S. facilities in Benghazi,” Carney said.

NEW BENGHAZI DETAILS REVEALED IN BOMBSHELL CNN REPORT

NEW BENGHAZI DETAILS REVEALED IN BOMBSHELL CNN REPORT: ‘UNPRECEDENTED’ EFFORT UNDERWAY TO KEEP SECRETS FROM LEAKING

The CIA is polygraphing its operatives on a regular basis in an “unprecedented” effort to prevent Benghazi secrets from leaking out, CNN’s Drew Griffin is reporting, citing unnamed inside sources.

“Since January, some CIA operatives involved in the agency’s missions in Libya, have been subjected to frequent, even monthly polygraph examinations, according to a source with deep inside knowledge of the agency’s workings,” the bombshell report reveals. “The goal of the questioning, according to sources, is to find out if anyone is talking to the media or Congress.”

More from CNN:
It is being described as pure intimidation, with the threat that any unauthorized CIA employee who leaks information could face the end of his or her career.
In exclusive communications obtained by CNN, one insider writes, “You don’t jeopardize yourself, you jeopardize your family as well.”
Another says, “You have no idea the amount of pressure being brought to bear on anyone with knowledge of this operation.”
The CIA responded to CNN’s report in a statement, claiming it “enabled all officers involved in Benghazi the opportunity to meet with Congress,” according to Jake Tapper.
It has also been revealed that as many 35 Americans were in Benghazi on the night of the deadly terror attack, CNN reports, citing anonymous inside sources. As many as seven were wounded and 21 Americans were reportedly working in the building known as the CIA annex.

Obama Readies US Marines to Assist in Egypt… But Wouldn’t Send US Marines to Benghazi

30 June 2013

The Obama Administration put the US Marines were on alert in southern Europe today as a precaution in advance of massive protests expected in Egypt.


But the Obama Administration wouldn’t send US Marines in Europe to assist the US Ambassador in Benghazi on 9-11.

Four Americans were killed in the Benghazi terrorist attacks on 9-11 including the US ambassador.

CNN reported:

U.S. Marines stationed in southern Europe have been put on alert as a precaution in advance of expected large demonstrations and potential unrest in Egypt this weekend, CNN has learned.

About 200 combat capable Marines in Sigonella, Italy, and Moron, Spain, have been told to be ready to be airborne within 60 minutes of getting orders to deploy, according to two administration officials.

The units have several V-22 tilt-rotor aircraft that would carry troops and infantry weapons to Egypt to protect the U.S. Embassy and American government personnel and citizens if violence broke out against Americans.

Could the Obama Administration’s Next Scandal Be Brewing at the EPA?

May 30, 2013

With the continued Benghazi investigation, IRS political targeting and DOJ press surveillance, could a scandal at the EPA be the next shoe to droop for the Obama administration?


The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) been closely following the EPA’s misuse of private communication to conduct public business, and fees the agency has placed on conservative groups seeking information that they usual waive for media and watchdog groups. After successfully gaining access to former EPA Chief Lisa Jackson’s emails, CEI is now suing to gain access to the text messages of Gina McCarthy, the senior EPA official the President has nominated to now run the agency.

CEI’s Chris Horner joined “Wilkow” Thursday to discuss his organization’s request to access text messages sent by Jackson and McCarthy, and what they’re looking for.

“Where are these text messages? Are they really engaging in serial, coordinated, systematic document destruction in violation of criminal law?” he asked. “Because I have an affidavit in one of my lawsuits from NASA admitting that they are. OK, so this is not far-fetched, this is rather near-fetched.”

Horner noted that McCarthy is being promoted to an “enormous budget” and “enormous responsibility” and there are questions that need to be answered.

He went on: “The bigger issue the EPA is going to have to answer is: Are you just in contempt of Congress and violating the law by refusing to turn things over? Or are you really serially and systematically destroying records?”


“If so, these consequences have to go beyond people resigning to end the issue — we have to have real consequences because these are not their records, they’re ours,” Horner concluded.

Letter to the Editor: Obama's Scandals, by CCTA Education Chairman, Nancy Murdoch

“We’re gonna punish our enemies, and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us.”

Those are the words of President Obama on October 2010. It’s quite apparent he meant it, and those in his administration used the tenor of that statement to be sure it happened.


Hundreds of conservative and Christian groups faced harassment and unfair treatment when they applied for 501(c)(4) status while left leaning groups were approved within months, not years. Some groups were targets of audits, FBI investigations, unreasonable demands, and tyrannical treatment by the government---the same government the president said we should trust. Donors to the Democrats got huge government loans (think Solandryl) for harebrained schemes that went up in fairy dust.

Firing the sitting IRS commissioner, Steven Miller (who will leave in June regardless) is only a token action. We have not heard the president withdraw his “punish” remark or clarify it, but we have heard him vilify the tea party, even though the biggest crime of the tea party is disagreeing with Obama’s big government schemes. When tragedy happens, he speaks of civility, but his own manner belies the statement. In fact, some would question where the priorities and loyalties of this administration lie. They have prosecuted more whistle blowers than all other administrations combined. When Gregory Hicks failed to goosestep to the demands of the State Department, he was demoted. Other individuals have had their lives turned upside down and virtually destroyed for daring to speak out against injustices.

When caught doing something nefarious, those in charge don’t know anything about anything. A low level bureaucrat is always cast as the fall guy. Generally the peon isn’t fired, but moved to another department, out of the limelight. One can’t help but question why so much responsibility is laid on individuals with no accountability and no names. We didn’t elect these people.

The main stream media (also known as the Obama Public Relations Firm) either under report or ignore stories critical of the Obama regime and/or their ideology. Benghazi got little coverage before the election, and what was reported was often incorrect. The Sandy Hook tragedy was covered 24/7. However, the trial and conviction of mass murderer, Kermit Gosnell, received scant notice. It appears innocent children are only important when they are gunned down, but ignored when they have their spines severed. Now AP is up in arms because they are on the receiving end of Chicago style politics. Those whose job it is to be skeptical of government and inform the public are cheerleaders until their ox is gored.

This corruption has had a devastating effect on the American people. We are divided as never before. We don’t trust the government, our elected leaders, or the media. From a president who tosses the word “fair” around so cavalierly, we see policy based on lies, thuggery, and incompetency. Transparency has become as opaque as a lead shield.

Some of us actually believe in the rule of law; the Obama administration---not so much. Winning elections is much more important than being honorable. The trappings of the presidency appear to be more important to this administration than actually doing the job. When will the American people learn we elected a “suit”, surrounded by sycophants?

Obama Runs Away from the War on Terrorism

May 26, 2013

Tea Party Nation--By Alan Caruba


“You may not be interested in war, but war may be interested in you.” -- Leon Trotsky

If you think about the presidents who we remember and honor the most, it is those who faced war and rallied the nation to victory. Our first president, George Washington, sustained the Revolutionary War for eight long years against daunting odds, including a Continental Congress that often provided little support for the men under his command that were fighting to create a new, free nation.

Washington’s reputation in war and peace is the reason that the Constitution designates the President as Commander-in-Chief. He was so highly regarded for his conduct of the Revolution that the Founders concluded that future presidents had to be free to wage war, but only after Congress declared that a state of war existed.

America, however, has not formally passed a declaration of war since WWII and then because it had been declared against us first. Since then wars have often been fought under the sanction given by the United Nations as was the case in the Korean conflict and the two Gulf wars, an erosion of our national sovereignty.

Lincoln is revered for having preserved the Union during the bloodiest conflict this nation ever fought. Franklin D. Roosevelt earned his place in our history for mobilizing the nation prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, assisting Great Britain prior to entering the World War II, and then pursuing an aggressive policy to defeat the Axis nations.

Quite a few of our presidents gained fame in various conflicts, from Washington to Grant to Eisenhower. Other presidents presided over wars both long and short.

In a speech on May 23, given ironically at the National Defense University, President Obama did his best to run away from war. His opposition to the war in Iraq, his decision to withdraw from Afghanistan, and his efforts to close Guantanamo will likely be seen in the same way as the Clinton policies of the 1990s when Osama bin Laden declared war on the United States on behalf of al Qaeda and subsequently attacked the World Trade Towers twice, in 1993 and on September 11, 2001. Weakness always encourages aggression.

In an application of magical thinking, at the height of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan the entire U.S. military was instructed not to use the term “global war on terrorism”, replacing it instead with “overseas contingency.” The Obama administration has refused to identify the May 22nd murder of a British soldier on the streets of London by an Islamist as terrorism.

Obama spent his first term and now his second insisting that al Qaeda has been defeated despite ample evidence that it has not. He has never ceased to downplay any event that suggests we and the rest of the world are not engaged in a war with radical Islam.

The Benghazi scandal arose out of an effort to claim and cover-up that the attack was “spontaneous” and the result of an anti-Islam video despite the fact that it occurred on September 11, 2012. Earlier, an attack on soldiers based at Fort Hood was declared “workplace violence.” The bombing in Boston was glossed over as a criminal act, not a terrorist act of war.

The absurdity and the danger of not describing the many instances of the Islamic jihad is a failure of major proportions and not being willing to take preemptive action against its perpetrators suggests it will grow, not diminish, and not cease to threaten the homeland and the world.

In a scathing May 24 analysis of his speech, “President Obama is Tired of Fighting Terrorism”, the Heritage Foundation said that “even as new fronts in the war on terrorism sprang up, the Administration continued to argue that it was winning” despite the Benghazi attack, despite the Boston bombing, despite the attacks in Afghanistan. Time and again Obama has said that the assassination of Osama bin Laden marked the end of al Qaeda and that the isolated drone attacks have reduced its ability to wage jihad. It has not, but Obama proposed scaling back the use of drones.

“The war of ideas,” said Heritage, “was completely banned from the Obama lexicon. Islamist terrorism became ‘violent extremism.’ Terrorism became ‘senseless violence.’ In 2011, however, Obama shifted course dramatically."

"More than dumping the war of words, the White House signed off on a new counterterrorism strategy that amounted to running away from Iraq and Afghanistan as quickly as possible and limiting the offensive campaign to whacking top-level al Qaeda with drone strikes”, noting that “The new strategy was bound to fail, fighting the last war while al Qaeda evolved into a global insurgency that has spread from Pakistan to Nigeria.”

Letter to the Editor: The ‘buck’ doesn’t stop here…, by CCTA Member, Lou Call

May 16th, 2013
Letter to the Editor

The ‘buck’ doesn’t stop here…

The two major issues facing our Nation today centers around the abusive political powers exercised by the Obama administration. Both Benghazi and the IRS scandal call into question the trust that Americans have in their government; a government that gets its power from the people it governs. And it is clear to most of us that our president is not a person of trust.

Consider Obama’s address to the UN General Assembly on September 25th, 2012; sixteen days after the attack in Benghazi:

“That is what we saw play out in the last two weeks, as a crude and disgusting video sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world. Now, I have made it clear that the United States government had nothing to do with this video, and I believe its message must be rejected by all who respect our common humanity.” ( Full Text @www.nytimes.com/2012/.../obamas-speech-to-the-united-nations-general-assembly.)


Barack Hussein Obama clearly lied to the United Nations and to the American people yet there is no outrage from the main stream media; the same media that forced Richard Nixon to resign the Office of President over lies concerning the Watergate break in. Do I need to remind the reader that no lives were lost in Watergate?

But the day after the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were killed in Benghazi, the White House released a schedule showing that President Obama would continue with his planned campaign trip to Las Vegas. That same morning in the Rose Garden Obama confirmed the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens, the administration’s point man during the Libyan revolution, in a statement condemning the "outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans."

While omitting the reference to a terrorist attack, Obama went on to say,

"While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants." In other words we reject the denigration of Muslim beliefs as depicted in a video.
All of this transpired after the last general election so what is our Nation to do?

In 1970, then Representative Gerald R. Ford defined impeachable offenses as "whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history."

In the past, Congress has issued Articles of Impeachment for acts in three general categories:

1. Exceeding the constitutional bounds of the powers of the office.

2. Behavior grossly incompatible with the proper function and purpose of the office.

3. Employing the power of the office for an improper purpose or for personal gain.

Can there be any doubt when we look back over the last five years that we need to remove from the Office of the President, the current occupant? As a Nation we can no longer afford to tolerate the machinations of this Socialist regime. Clearly, unlike Harry Truman, the buck doesn’t stop here; but it should.

BENGHAZI: IT’S US VS.THEM

Democrats act all outraged at the suggestion that Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton would ever do anything to endanger the lives of personnel stationed overseas in order to win re-election.

Well guess what – that’s exactly what happened. They lied, gave orders to stand-down, didn’t send help, failed to act, changed the facts, covered-up, lied some more, went to Vegas, lied again, got help from Candy Crowley, got some other people to lie, intimidated witnesses and are now going after the folks testifying to the truth. Since they took office the Administration has been holding a gun to the head of nearly every American in its quest to exact maximum pain on each of us to achieve Barack Obama’s political objectives. First, printing and spreading money around to their supporters, then bribing members of Congress to pass legislation, and now engaging in activity and cover-ups such as Fast & Furious, the Sequester and now the murders in Benghazi.


It makes me wonder what they’ve done that we don’t know about.

What we do know is that whether it’s public unions, the IRS, the Justice Department, the EPA and a whole lotta other government personnel – it’s clearly become a case of Us versus Them. When kids are denied tours of the White House as the Muslim Brotherhood lines its coffers with taxpayer money – you know the federal government is lined up against us. When pilots come over loudspeakers to announce you’re being delayed because of a phony sequester crisis – you know the federal government is lined up against us. When teachers and their unions fail to teach your children basic math, science and English, yet scream for more money and pensions – you know what it is:


Government is no longer the parasites, they are the host organism and as far as they’re concerned we are here to feed the monster and shut the hell up.

President Did Nothing to Save Lives in Benghazi


Nothing. That is what President Barack Obama did on the night of September 11, 2012, as terrorists attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and killed four Americans, among them Ambassador Christopher Stevens. President Obama’s inaction was revealed in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday by outgoing Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey.

Under direct questioning by Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Panetta admitted that he had no communication with President Obama after their "pre-scheduled" meeting at 5:00 p.m. EDT. The attack on the consulate had already been under way for 90 minutes at that time. Neither the president nor anyone else from the White House called afterwards to check what was happening; the Commander-in-Chief had left it "up to us," said Panetta.

Panetta's testimony directly contradicts President Obama's own claim to have issued "three direectives" as soon as he learned "what was going on" in Benghazi. As he told a Denver reporter in October:

I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure we are securing our personnel and that we are doing whatever we need to. Number two, we are going to investigate exactly what happened and make sure it doesn't happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice.

An Open Letter To Republicans In Congress


I think this is absolutely right on target! ~Lynn


Having been a GOP member for over fifty-five years,I wish this letter could begin with “Thanks for your service.”But you need to know some of the reasons why there is such a feeling of disdain among many of us:

6) BENGHAZI –You’ve spent weeks hung up on who altered the talking points. Time is of the essence,and we are waiting for you to get to the heart of this tragedy. We want and deserve to know who gave the order to “stand down”. You seem to be poised to let the clock run so that you can move on to the next topic (say,“fiscal cliff”or whatever) and let this travesty just fade away.

5) MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD occurred in the presidential election,which likely was stolen. Abundant documented proof exists,and We the People fear that there will never again be an honest election. What do we hear from you? Crickets. Dead silence. You are brushing it aside and moving on. You just cannot be bothered. Shame!

4) FAST &FURIOUS is becoming old history, and your attempts to be effective have fallen far short of what we expected. Your investigative efforts have no teeth and are going nowhere. We see it, and we know it. Double shame !

3) OBAMACARE is going to literally kill Americans and the country’s economy. You all in the House have talked big about cutting funding in order to “starve the beast.” You, no doubt, will cave on this, too. All we hear are whimpers from wimps. Sorry.
