According to the Report – President Obama to Tehran leaders:
“I didn’t want to impose sanctions on your central bank but I had no options but to approve it since a Congress majority had approved the decision.”
TEHRAN (FNA) – Senior Iranian parliamentary sources revealed on Saturday that the Swiss envoy to Tehran has quoted US President Barack Obama as acknowledging Iran’s nuclear rights.
Swiss Ambassador to Tehran Livia Leu Agosti attended a meeting with senior Iranian foreign ministry officials a few days ago to submit a letter from the US president to Tehran leaders. (more…)
He told them the TRUTH, al-Qaeda was thriving…. They can’t allow that.
“Islamic extremism appears to be on the rise in eastern Libya,” the ambassador wrote, adding that “the Al-Qaeda flag has been spotted several times flying over government buildings and training facilities…”
CBS Report: U.S. Had Predator Drone Over Benghazi As Attack Happened, “They Stood, And They Watched, And Our People Died”… […]
CBS News has been told that, hours after the attack began, an unmanned Predator drone was sent over the U.S. mission in Benghazi, and that the drone and other reconnaissance aircraft apparently observed the final hours of the protracted battle.
The State Department, White House and Pentagon declined to say what military options were available. (more…)
The White House is throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks in the right place(s).
A “foreign Policy” debate scheduled for Monday,… in Boca Raton,…. amid the largest Jewish voter base in the Key “Swing State” of Florida,…. with the biggest ongoing policy issue being Iran threatening Israel with Nuclear Weapons,…. after Obama blew it with his non-support of the Iranian Freedom Movement (Green Party)
And all of a sudden,…. the Left-Wing New York Times is “leaking”,… on a Saturday,….. In advance of the “Sunday Talk Shows”,…… That Iran and President Obama “might have” come to an agreement to stave off military action and defuse the situation….
All unbeknownst to Israel….
Um, Ohhhh-kaaaaaay
Got It ! (more…)
Yesterday I was listening intently to the grieving spouse of one of the victims recounting her anxiety about not being able to get ‘survivor benefits’ because the Fort Hood shooting was not labeled a “terror attack during wartime”; instead President Obama and his administation made the decision to call it “workplace violence”.
Stella dropped a link to a Right Scoop article which outlines an aspect of the issues:
[…] In fact at the moment I’m filled with anger after having heard the stories of those who survived, that Hasan is still alive 3 years after his ruthless massacre – but even more so that they are currently arguing in court whether he can keep his beard!
And then on top of that I’m reminded that this administration labeled this Islamic terrorist attack as “workplace violence” which means those who survived it are ineligible for the purple heart and the families of those who were killed do not get the same benefits of those who are killed in combat. This is outrageous! (more…)
(The Hill) United Nations-affiliated election monitors from Europe and central Asia will be at polling places around the U.S. looking for voter suppression activities by conservative groups, a concern raised by civil rights groups during a meeting this week. The intervention has drawn criticism from a prominent conservative-leaning group combating election fraud.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), a United Nations partner on democratization and human rights projects, will deploy 44 observers around the county on Election Day to monitor an array of activities, including potential disputes at polling places. (more…)
As we begin to piece the new information, new reporting and discovered research in Benghazi against the backdrop of the “Official State Department Reports”, it is prudent to go back and rewatch the actual journalistic discoveries on scene right after the attack.

This is a very well organized, informative and well presented in depth report on the Benghazi attack in Libya.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The CIA station chief in Libya reported to Washington within 24 hours of last month’s deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate that there was evidence it was carried out by militants, not a spontaneous mob upset about an American-made video ridiculing Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, U.S. officials have told The Associated Press.
It is unclear who, if anyone, saw the cable outside the CIA at that point and how high up in the agency the information went. The Obama administration maintained publicly for a week that the attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans was a result of the mobs that staged less-deadly protests across the Muslim world around the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks on the U.S. (more…)
Many people jumped on this comment snippet as soon as it was tweeted by the media. I sensed something was off with the media lead on the comment itself, so I witheld opinion until I could see and hear the context. Having said that the term “optimal” was placed into the conversation by Jon Stewart.
However, Jon Stewart was talking about the poor presidential response, and the confusing explanations from the White House, Spokesperson(s), the larger administration per se’, and the President himself. In essence the “confused messaging” was not optimal.
If President Obama was responding to the poor “messaging” descriptive then any outrage would have been seriously misplaced, because we all agree the confusing messaging was far from optimal. Heck, it was absurdly ridiculous.
BUT…
…. When President Obama responded to Jon Stewart Obama was not talking about the “messaging”, he was talking about the “event”.
So therefore EVERY CINTILLA OF BACKLASH for this horrifically worded response is ABSOLUTELY APPROPRIATELY PLACED. (more…)
