He's bipartisan. Why, why, why, he once voted for a Republican...

Scramble RWCJ! Scramble!

The comment Gov. Christie made on FauxNews was appropos considering the hosts were trying to score political points for Romney in the wake of of a disaster thats full effect had yet to be assessed.

Gov. Christie, far from an Obama supporter, must be slandered because he dared express the opinion that the President and FEMA have acted competently in the face of a devestating natural disaster.

Cap'n "Not Republican" attempting to slander someone else because "they once voted for a Republican" is the height of Hilarity considering how often he claims to have been a Democrat once upon a time.

Obama-Appointed Benghazi Investigator Calls America Hotbed Of “Islamophobia”…




I’m pretty sure we know how this is going to end.

Via FPM:


America is a seething hotbed of “Islamophobia,” filled with ignorant racist rubes who irrationally fear the benign Muslim religion, according to the Obama administration’s lead investigator into the Benghazi atrocities.

So said former Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering in more polished, diplomatic language during an Oct. 23 panel discussion at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. The talk was on “what role the faith community can play in fighting Islamophobia,” a make-believe mental illness that Islamists would love to have listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Radical Islam’s stateside defenders frequently accuse anti-terrorism hawks of “McCarthyism,” hurling the epithet “Islamophobe” the same way American leftists use the word “racist” to shut down debate.

Pickering’s pontifications came two and a half weeks after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton named him to head a State Department “Accountability Review Board” tasked with examining the circumstances surrounding the deaths on Sept. 11, 2012, the 11th anniversary of 9/11, of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, information management officer Sean Smith, and security personnel Glen Doherty, and Tyrone Woods at the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya.

At last week’s panel discussion, Pickering piously but incorrectly invoked the Holocaust to argue that American Muslims were somehow in danger.

“I’m not great at quotations,” he said, foreshadowing a misattribution to come.

“Perhaps it was [German theologian and dissident] Dietrich Bonhoeffer who said of the Nazis, when they came for the Jews, I didn’t speak up. I was not a Jew. When they came for the Catholics, I didn’t speak up, I was not a Catholic. When they came for us, no one spoke up. There was no one left to do so,” Pickering said, paraphrasing famous, poignant verses actually spoken by Third Reich-era German pastor Martin Niemoller.

We know how it is going to go.

The administration is going to investigate itself and after winning the election announce that the independent investigation cleared them and it was the movie after all...

Then they will throw Clint Eastwood into a cell with nothing but an empty chair to talk to in the way of a lawyer...

The Obama Doctrine: American Lives Are Expendable
Karin McQuillan, The American Thinker
November 3, 2012

The Obama White House, the Clinton State Department, and Panetta's Department of Defense have guiding principles in Afghanistan that, if applied to Benghazi, explain the administration's decision to deny air support to the Americans fighting for their lives on 9/11/12.

The denial of air support to our troops in battle is normal operating procedure for this commander in chief. He doesn't have to give special orders to do it. It is the Obama Doctrine on the War on Terror: do not kill Muslim civilians. Let American soldiers die instead. That is how Obama thinks he will win the hearts and minds of the Islamic world.

In Afghanistan, the military is required to deny air support, even in the midst of battle, if it could possibly result in civilian casualties. Under Obama, it is required that the military sacrifice the lives of our soldiers when jihadis are firing from population areas. The Benghazi safe house where Tyrone Woods, Sean Smith, and the others were defending themselves against al-Qaeda was in a neighborhood. Therefore, if the Afghanistan rules of engagement were applied, no air support and no reinforcements would be sent.

Following the same mindset, the Clinton State Department's main diplomatic principle is to show how much we respect Muslim sensibilities. Ambassador Stevens' repeated requests to not withdraw his U.S. Marine security detail were denied by the State Department on those grounds. Just a few weeks before 9/11, Stevens was reduced to relying on local Libyan militia for his safety and the safety of his staff. He was scared for his life, and on 9/11, he gave his life. He was sacrificed to the Obama administration's diplomatic doctrine.

Testimony from Eric Allan Nordstrom, Regional Security Officer, Tripoli, at Congressman Issa's hearings into Benghazi:

Our long term security plan in Libya was to recruit and deploy an armed, locally hired Libyan bodyguard unit. However, because of Libyan political sensitivities, armed private security companies were not allowed to operate in Libya. Therefore, our existing, uniformed static local guard force, both in Tripoli and Benghazi were unarmed ... armed security in Libya was still a new and sensitive concept to the Libyan Government. Abuses of Qaddafi foreign mercenaries were still fresh in the minds of the Libya people.

Under the Obama administration, the lives and safety of American diplomats and military personnel come third after respecting Muslim lives and sensibilities. This is the Obama idea of how to win what his predecessor called the War on Terror.

Meanwhile, back on Planet Earth:
Debunking the American Thinker false claim of 'there was no air support'

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Obama's rules of engagement rule out combat air support in Afghanistan -- just as combat air support was denied in Benghazi. One soldier currently serving wrote to his father to ask him to write their congressman to protest new rules of engagement which prohibit "the dropping of ordinance" (in plain English, air cover).

I don't think that the American citizens would be happy if they knew that their soldiers were being prohibited from defending themselves in any way because of politically driven orders, but that is precisely what is happening in this war right now even as I write this letter. The soldiers of the U.S. never engage the enemy unless we know that we have will always have the tactical advantage in defending ourselves, that advantage is the use of close air support and air weapons team. To take those weapons away from us is to level the playing field for the enemy and thus exposing our soldiers to more danger. We have never been so restricted in defending ourselves as we have now.

I love you very much Dad and I don't want you to worry about me any more than you already are, but I also know that this has to be brought up, someone has to say something about this. It is wrong to keep this hidden away while American soldiers are under constant threat of death and dying. I don't care if you send this letter directly, this needs to be known.

Cowardly Lying
William L. Gensert, The American Thinker
November 3, 2012

Everyone has heard of Baghdad Bob. He was the guy who went on TV every night during the Iraqi War insisting to the world that Iraq was winning, despite American tanks rolling up behind him as he spoke.

What's the difference between Baghdad Bob and Benghazi Barack? Obama has long pretended that the private sector is "doing fine," and that he is winning this race for the presidency. The economy may be moribund, but he built it, and he thinks that if he repeats the lie often enough, people will believe it.

Baghdad Bob had one big lie: Saddam was winning. Benghazi Barack has a myriad of little lies, spinning a web of delusion and deceit with every telling.

AJ seems to enjoy this Monday Morning Quarterbacking. As a 1970s-era Marine, he understands the vital importance of assigning blame as soon as possible.

Had "reparative therapy" for homosexuals been available to Marines during the Nixon/Ford/Carter years, AJ would have no doubt risen much higher in the ranks.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

If you are an American warrior, not only do you have to worry about the enemy, but you also need to wonder if the American government will have your back. As more and more details come out about the Benghazi attack, it becomes clear that the president and his advisers had ample notice and time to send in reinforcements. The statement, by the founders of Special Operations Speaks PAC, summarized the feelings of many in the military: "When Obama called the SEALs, they got bin Laden. When the SEALs called Obama, they got denied." American Thinker interviewed some former American warriors to get their opinions on what transpired.

Former army veteran and captain in the National Guard Pete Hegseth, who heads Concerned Veterans for America, does not give any credence to the "fog of war" excuse being used by Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta. He cites all the factors that should have shown this administration what was happening in real time: an aerial drone providing surveillance, a real-time video, mortars being fired, and e-mail requests being sent out. He believes that "the reality is there was no appetite for anyone to be sent there. The job of any commander, including the commander-in-chief, is to cut through uncertainty. In this situation, we had people on the ground relaying what was happening, so how much uncertainty could there have been? We needed a decisive leader who understood his priorities. It is shameful we did not do everything we could have to rescue them. This is no surprise, since President Obama doesn't sit down to get many intelligence briefings." Hegseth went on to say that those serving overseas in dangerous places would wonder if this administration puts American lives first.

Fred Rustmann, a member of OPSEC and a former CIA operative, was appalled by this administration's priorities. The reason this administration did not send out a rescue force and had a "stand down order" is because it is "more concerned about collateral damage than saving CIA and SEAL lives. [Obama] chose not to upset the Arab world instead of saving American lives. There was instantaneous communication from the embassy and the annex. I know how it works. It's not a question that they did not have enough information, because they were getting real-time data from the situation reports. If the president did not know, it is due to the fact he chose not to know. Maybe because he did not want to show Americans how destabilized Libya has become." Rustmann went on to say that he cannot believe that the mass media is giving the president all this press regarding his leadership on Hurricane Sandy but has not questioned his leadership regarding Libya, "which has been deplorable. I am sure that those at the CIA would have done anything to rescue their peers. This has always been our code. Someone violated that code." It's something, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, a former CIA director, obviously never learned.

So Obama’s lack of foreign policy chops was hardly unusual; his experience was limited to short stints on a few committees. But much more importantly, unlike so many of his inexperienced predecessors, he didn’t have the humility to understand that he was deficient in that area, and to compensate for it by choosing a knowledgeable secretary of State. Instead, he appointed Hillary Clinton to the post, so now there were two foreign policy naifs in charge of the whole shebang.

Obama’s predecessor Bush II lacked such experience as well — although, like Hillary, he was a close family member of someone who did have it. But Bush knew enough to know what he didn’t know, and appointed actual experts to man (and woman) the job, such as Condoleezza Rice. Obama’s arrogance led him to believe that a few years of childhood spent in Indonesia, and some visits to Pakistan in early adulthood, would be enough — or actually, more than enough:

Ironically, this is an area — foreign policy is the area where I am probably most confident that I know more and understand the world better than Senator Clinton or Senator McCain.

It’s ironic because this is supposedly the place where experience is most needed to be Commander-in-Chief. Experience in Washington is not knowledge of the world. This I know. When Senator Clinton brags “I’ve met leaders from eighty countries” — I know what those trips are like! I’ve been on them….

You do that in eighty countries — you don’t know those eighty countries. So when I speak about having lived in Indonesia for four years, having family that is impoverished in small villages in Africa–knowing the leaders is not important — what I know is the people….

I traveled to Pakistan when I was in college — I knew what Sunni and Shia was [sic] before I joined the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

So why did he appoint Clinton despite all this? Was it purely political — to (as LBJ so famously said of someone of a different gender) have her inside the tent pissing out rather than outside pissing in? Perhaps. But it is also likely that Obama considered Clinton’s lack of knowledge to be a feature rather than a bug. After all, a relative neophyte would be less inclined to interfere with his own policies or to challenge him with his/her own greater expertise. This was also true of Obama’s selection of Leon Panetta to head the CIA and then Defense, and his choice of Thomas Donilon as his National Security advisor.

Obama likes to think of himself as the smartest person in the room. He prefers to surround himself with mediocrities and/or trusted yes-men/women and party operatives. The result? Well, we’re seeing it in Benghazi.
