… but if you happen to be the Personal Representative of The United States President; and you happen to be under attack by terrorists in Libya for over 7 hours, well then – Obama:  “deal with it, you’re on your own”……

Speaking at a photo opportunity at the American Red Cross on Tuesday, President Obama stated that in America, “we leave nobody behind.” This remark is seen as clumsy and perhaps insensitive considering the revelations that requests to assist two Navy SEALs trapped on the roof of the American consulate in Benghazi were denied, thus abandoning the heroic Americans to die at the hands of Al Qaeda.

What…, no “bumps in the ‘Sandy‘ road”?….   You mean,  No, “non optimal” ‘Sandy‘ deaths? (more…)

Last year we tried to send a little refuge warning beacon to anyone who would pay attention.  Our warning was to underscore why OUR national leadership on both sides of the aisle was failing us.   Few paid attention.  Today we are facing the consequences from those short-sighted decisions.  Here is the concern we shared in Sept. of 2011:

[September 7th 2011]  For several months my fears about the collapse of the Libyan regime have been heightened with the thought of all the Libyan arms being dispatched to all of our enemies throughout the middle east.

Six months ago the first reports of Missiles, WMD (mustard gas), and SAM’s being sold and traded to hostile forces of the West were confirmed. There is no substantive reason to believe these missiles will not leave the Middle East and be used against the West. Indeed, if a prudent consideration is applied exactly the opposite should be anticipated. (more…)

I’ll quickly look for links to this breaking story but Fox News Coorespondant Jennifer Griffin is now reporting:   “on the ground annex sources are telling her directly” when SEAL’s Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty disobeyed orders to “stand down” they instead “walked” while under fire to the Consulate compound from the CIA Annex.

They walked there, approximately a half mile, retrieved the consulate employees, and walked them back to the Annex.   Woods and Doherty were not in an armored SUV as previously reported.   They were on Foot and they were taking fire while doing so. (more…)

(From Douglass J Hagman @CFP) According to the U.S. government, Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed during a spontaneous protest at the consulate office in Benghazi by a frenzied crowd of Muslims outraged over an obscure internet video. Recently released “sensitive but not classified e-mails” from Stevens to the U.S. Department of State painted a picture of poor security for U.S. personnel and the embassy, which was obviously true but had little to do with the events of September 11, 2012.

The failure to dispatch an extraction team or otherwise rescue the men during a firefight that lasted upwards of nine grueling and tortuous hours was not the result of any intelligence failure, but caused by our unwillingness to widen the conflict and expose the nature and scale of our true mission in Benghazi.

But the Dear Leader loving U.S. Media is furiously working to beat back the fire…

Dionysius (II) was a fourth century B.C. tyrant of Syracuse, a city in Magna Graecia, the Greek area of southern Italy.

To all appearances Dionysius was very rich and comfortable, with all the luxuries money could buy, tasteful clothing and jewelry, and delectable food.

He even had court flatterers (adsentatores) to inflate his ego.

One of these ingratiators was the court sycophant, Damocles. Damocles used to make comments to the king about his wealth and luxurious life. (more…)

The father of murdered SEAL Tyrone Woods talks to Judge Jeanine Pirro about the Benghazi attack, his son’s role and the events following his son’s murder – Including the coverup.

I doubt, allow me to repeat and emphasize, “doubt“, these reports are accurate.    Why?   Because Congressman Jason Chaffetz is on record stating that in his visit to Libya he travelled with General Ham.   When Chaffetz asked Ham about whether he had a ready reaction force, according to Chaffetz – Ham told him “yes, however, we never got a request to assist in Benghazi”.

So why would there now be reports of Africom Command General Ham being replaced because of his non-compliance?   He said he never got the request for help, or call to mobilize?   He is not going to lie to the House Intelligence Committee   – No motive, Period.

Jim Hoft at GWP shares this story:   The latest rumor making the rounds is that Barack Obama replaced General Carter Ham at Africom after the general made a move to help the US security officials at the Benghazi consulate and annex.  Ham was replaced by Gen. David Rodriquez on October 18. Tiger Droppings reported: (more…)
