Not only did they lie – They Watched Them Die

(Reuters) – Officials at the White House and State Department were advised two hours after attackers assaulted the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 that an Islamic militant group had claimed credit for the attack, official emails show.

The emails, obtained by Reuters from government sources not connected with U.S. spy agencies or the State Department and who requested anonymity, specifically mention that the Libyan group called Ansar al-Sharia had asserted responsibility for the attacks.

The brief emails also show how U.S. diplomats described the attack, even as it was still under way, to Washington. (more…)

Treepers…please join with us in celebrating a most momentous occasion. We couldn’t have done it without YOU!

Would you like to see where in the world all the visitors to the Treehouse come from?  LOL…we’ve even got a lone “Wolverine” in Cuba!  (Somehow they’re breaking through the internet ban.  How cool is that?)  WordPress started offering this feature last February, so naturally it registers a little short of the five million mark.  We’ll be celebrating our second anniversary on November 2nd, so if any of y’all are thinking of sending a gift, feel free to combine this year’s traditional gift of cotton with last year’s paper…$  😉

Hat tip going out to “YF” for this one.   O’Mara must have chosen to do this conference next to the HOV lane on one of Florida’s busiest interstates.  It is what it is.

Major hat tip goes out to geosurface for linking to this most outstanding video…as well as giving me a title I couldn’t refuse.  Observe how some 17-year-olds are entirely capable of inflicting indiscriminate violence against innocent people…once they’ve been shown there’s “No_Limit”.

H/T….to the world’s best research assistant, WeeWeed.  😉

Birthday shout-outs and high fives to our longtime compatriot, the respected and beloved citizen of both Texas and the Treehouse…”Texan59″. 😀

Tex has been hanging around the Treehouse for so long, we can’t imagine what life would be like without him.  Well…on second thought, we can imagine…B-O-R-I-N-G.  He’s the life of our party and a consummate raconteur par excellence.  You’ll usually find him conversing with one of our admins, another proud Texan called WeeWeed.

Two of the things we most admire about Tex are his affinity for Fridays and Bud Light beer, and the other would be his undying loyalty to the “Treehouse Tin Foil Society”.  That’s right….he’s all tin foil hat, and he’s got the cattle that wear ’em too.   (more…)

Get ready for another lavish display of love and respect for womanhood tonight.  The party of free love, free birth control, and all-you-handle free abortion, will again be paying homage to American women by giving them their most vaunted serial womanizer, Bill Clinton, as tonight’s keynote speaker.  (What’s the matter….was Larry Flint busy?)

Clinton’s obviously been chosen to put a fresh face on the 90’s good vibes, then peer straight into the camera and coo….”Hey baby, stick with Obama and things can be just the way they used to be.”  Yeah, old Bill must have been psychic when a while back he told Ted Kennedy, “A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.”  Because, that’s exactly what Obama will be doing tonight.

(Breitbart)…Rick Klein, Senior Washington Editor of ABC News, just tweeted out this photo of the stage the Democrat convention will be held on.  As you can see (below), Klein’s photo reveals the screens that will serve as the television backdrop behind whomever’s speaking — and it looks to me as though the Democrats intend to show an artificial sea of faces in order to make the convention hall look a whole lot fuller than it might be.

If you look closely, they have three tiers of adoring, enraptured Obama-worshippers at the ready should they need them.    (more…)

Treepers, this is a MUST LISTEN audio.  Dinesh D’Souza gave an NPR host named Guy Raz a 32 min. interview, one in which he laid out a most precise and concise deconstruction of the fallacy that is the Obama story.  This NPR interviewer exemplifies all that’s biased and over the top with today’s media, and he pulls every trick in the book trying to get under D’Souza’s skin.  Nonetheless, D’Souza remains calm and collected, handling him with flawless ease and expertise….most awesome.  😉
