Adm. James A. Lyons (Ret.), former Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet, pulls no punches.
There is an urgent need for full disclosure of what has become the “Benghazi Betrayal and Cover-up.” The Obama national security team, including CIA, DNI and the Pentagon, apparently watched and listened to the assault on the U.S. consulate and cries for help but did nothing. If someone had described a fictional situation with a similar scenario and described our leadership ignoring the pleas for help, I would have said it was not realistic—not in my America – but I would have been proven wrong.

impeachment time for zero
Sadly, I wonder if even 0.01% of the American population will hear about this before the election. :-(
Or, as one of his predecessors, Chester Nimitz, played by Hank Fonda, is alleged to have said, in the movie, Midway, in response to comments by Hal Holbrook ("you've achieved a great victory today"):
"I want that fourth carrier".
Could this have been a scripted Hollywood style cliffhanger gone wrong?
Was it supposed to provide his nibs with an election week triumph as he
and Hill successfully negotiated the release of "American captives" in a
foreign affairs tour de force and showed Gov Romney as a hopeless
obstructive plodding dunce?
.
Dateline October 28? Still nadda from O's friends in the MSM.
I was seriously hoping HRC would grab a mike this w/e and spill some beans. Silly me thinking she might have some principles or a sense of obligation to the people of America.
I'd be infinitely obliged if someone would please type the answer to this out real slow for me: why would the US government have been running weapons to Al-Qaeda associates in Syria (or elsewhere)? What's in it for Barry?
The dumb, the devious, and the defiant - the US Army, the USAF, and the USN. Senior USN personnel are far more likely to take a stand on principle than anyone else in Washington.
Words fail when one contemplates the Obama administration's callous indifference even to their own fairly senior people.
One wonders what they were thinking of. Probably still trying to develop allies in al-Quaida; possibly to foil the Iranians over Syria. That this tends to contradict the Obama's crypto-Iranian stance suggests, as often with Obama, that we need a specialist in abnormal psychology to understand him.
The MSN will keep the lid on till after the election, and even after that, for as long as they can. When asked why the NY Times wasn't covering te story, a spokesperson said, `There just isn`t a story there to report on`.
If Obama is elected again,Biden is not only a heartbeat away from the Oval office,he is also an impeachment vote away.
Romney must win.

While Obama calls the Middle East uprisings against secular dictators a “fight for Democracy”, the fruit and fact is far from the truth. In EVERY case that the Obama regime supported, encouraged and it appears now, ARMED the “rebels” against the likes of Libyan dictator Moammar Ghaddafi – actively supporting Al Qaeda Islamist fighters. From Egypt, to Tunisia to Libya and Yemen – the wake of the “Arab Spring” has installed Islamic Jihadist Theocracies in all those nations. Nations that were either benign or friendly to the United States and Israel, are now avowed Islamist enemies. Christians that once existed in these nations, are being systematically exterminated or forced into Islamic conversion as the Copts of Egypt are suffering with reports of church burnings, gang rapes and mass crucifixions in front of Morsi’s presidential palace.
Looking at the FRUITS of whom Obama supported and continues to support in the Middle East, beginning at the outset with his 2009 Cairo speech to the Muslim world – looking back – Obama lit the fuse. The pattern appears to be that Obama is helping to shape what Islamists are working for: a totalitarian Islamic Caliphate. Perhaps there is something to the Shia Prophecy about a ‘tall black man’ acting like an Islamic John The Baptist, preparing the way for an Islamic takeover of the globe by dismantling the West from within, arming and empowering Jihadists to take power across the Middle East. Obama has been instrumental in achieving this Islamist dream.
Obama is not yet done. He has been working to arm a branch of Al Qaeda Jihadists inside Syria to overthrow the secular dictatorship of Bassar Assad, and that ties directly to the attacks on the Libyan Embassy and the killing of Ambassador Stevens, who was acting in the capacity of an Arms Dealer to Jihad groups in Libya and Syria.

Glenn Beck Connects the Dots in Benghazi Attack: ‘This Is Fast and Furious Times 1,000′
There are grounds for charging him with treason. Google "charging the president with treason"
Hm,"President Joe Biden". If that DID happen, would American comedians start to make fun of Prez Joe's many gaffe's like they didn't do to Obama?
I think Joe would react like the legendary 1960's hippie who was caught by the cops with a pint jar full of liquid LSD.
According to the legend,he drank the entire jar to get rid of the evidence,and forever after sat in an institution with a big glassy-eyed grin on his face.
Only Joe'd be in the Oval Office.
What G said.
This is the Middle Eastern version of "Fast and Furious". It is plausible that Obama - already sympathetic to the Islamist cause- was aiding one side to overthrow Assad and set up a new regime. The SEALS were collateral damage (sorry to be so vulgar) but the ambassador was a true skeleton in the closet. If it was discovered that he helped aid jihadists, it would be impeachment city for Obama.
Obama wants to do as much damage as he can to the US, either now or in another four years.
Pray for a Romney victory.
a) If Obama wins and the allegations are true; riots,Biden is POTUS,the media catches the asteroid.
b) If Obama wins and the allegations are false; no riots,the slippery slope gets a lot more slippy.
c) If Obama loses and the allegations are true; a quicker recovery from the illness that has gripped the USA,the media catches the asteroid.
d) If Obama loses and the allegations are false; the recovery will not be so quick,but it will be started.
Romney must win.
Thanks - particularly for the Beck link. (He's great when he's not too nuts.)
Obama tried the same in Syria as he did in Libya.He told the Russians and Chinese that he only wanted to go in and help the people and not do a regime change.He lied,as a result,Russia and China are supporting the govt of Syria to resist a regime change.I'm not sure how thats going to end as Russia wants to keep a naval base in Syria.
I mean, I always assumed the administrations's support for this nightmarish "Arab Spring" was stupid and criminally naive rather than actually criminal. That being said, I give no credence to the idea Barry's a Muslim. He's an atheist/agnostic who intinctively and by academic training favours America's enemies. And I'm pretty sure he's a sociopath.
No doubt in my mind that Barry is a muslim. He's not all that devout but he is sympathetic to the islamist cause. He'll do anything to advance it.
i wouild say if you have a ring on your finger incribed in arobic... there is no god but allah......your a muzzy alright.
This is the corruptest administration in american history, they lie like sidewalks. i pray on tuesday they thow the bums out!
Blutech,
With BC enthusiastically promoting Obama I dont think HRC will be spilling any beans. The only scenario's that explain this are
1) They HRC and BO are equally guilty, so it is better to be in power than not when the investigation happens. Puts you in control of leaks if the other side leaks. HRC couldnt do that from the outside
2) There is a deal with payoff later of BO appointing HRC to either VP position in a couple of years for her ramp up, or to her chosen spot, a SCOTUS position to replace Ginsberg.
The Clintons are too smart and machiavellian to do this "for the good of the party" or to help BO. BC's support comes with a price, especially for someone he considers an amatuer and a coffee fetcher.
And just who, abtrapper, do you see with the guts to do that? "Weepy"?
The question is how do you utterly destroy the media so that they become a useful pillar of democracy again. I'm not being rhetorical, I'm totally serious. There will always be TV news (not necessarily newspapers and magazines)--how do we influence the outcome. If in fact conservative outnumber progressives 2:1 or more...how do we as a community of conservative people make the media useful again? I think it has to be devastating much like Germany and Japan after WW2...they haven't gone back to being war-like at all--they toe the line of peace and are useful democratic countries.
I recall in the movie "Clear & Present Danger", special ops marines under fire in Columbia, were intentionally left to their own devices. Benghazi seems eerily similar.
