Weekend Edition: Remembering The Hero of Benghazi

Somewhere in the home of Charles Woods there is an American Flag.

That Flag has been crisply folded, by United States Marines, into a triangle.

Only the stars are showing.

Most likely, that folded Flag is in a frame. It might be made of oak or, perhaps walnut.

Charles Woods may have placed that Flag where it can be seen by all who enter his home or, he may have placed it in a more private place. A study or a home office.

Make no mistake though. That Flag is there.

For the rest of his life, Charles Woods will have that Flag but not his son.

American Flags, crisply folded by United States Marines are for Heroes.

I suspect, like most Heroes, Tyrone Woods would not use that label to describe himself.

Tyrone Woods would, most likely, tell you he was just doing his job.

What job was Tyrone Woods doing when he earned that crisply folded Flag?

Well, from what we know now. It went something like this.

Weekend Edition: IT WAS TREASON – Arrest Obama

Last Thursday, I wrote an article titled, “Obama & Libya – A Case Study in Treason” and in that article I stated, “When a president fails to lift a finger to protect Americans, at home or abroad, in the face of overwhelming intelligence and evidence, by ignoring obvious warning signs and the advice of those entrusted to offer such protection…”

“It is treason.”

I meant every word and yes, I am well aware of the weight of the word, “treason.”

I do not nor have I ever used it lightly. I see that word bandied about on social media and while I understand full well the passion of those who use it, I rarely, if ever, believe that the issues to which it is applied, truly rise to that level.

This situation, in Libya, I am convinced…Does.

To explain, let’s first look at the legal definition and it’s context within our Constitution.

Definition of Treason in the Constitution:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.”

Legal Definition of Treason:

The betrayal of one’s own country by waging war against it or by consciously or purposely acting to aid its enemies.

Under Article III, Section 3, of the Constitution:

Any person who levies war against the United States or adheres to its enemies by giving them Aid and Comfort has committed treason within the meaning of the Constitution. The term aid and comfort refers to any act that manifests a betrayal of allegiance to the United States, such as furnishing enemies with arms, troops, transportation, shelter, or classified information. If a subversive act has any tendency to weaken the power of the United States to attack or resist its enemies, aid and comfort has been given.

Day by day…Nearly hour by hour, we learn more about what transpired in Benghazi on 9-11-12.

Yesterday, we learned a truly horrific truth.

Obama & Libya – A Case Study in Treason

When a president fails to lift a finger to protect Americans, at home or abroad, in the face of overwhelming intelligence and evidence, by ignoring obvious warning signs and the advice of those entrusted to offer such protection…

It is treason.

Emails were sent to 400 people in the first 2 hours of the attack in Benghazi indicating that the attack was a terrorist attack.

Those emails went to the State Department.

Those emails went to the FBI.

Those emails went directly to the White House Situation Room.

At the time the email went to the White house Situation Room…Obama was in a meeting with his security team.

The first email – 4:05pm EST

“U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi Under Attack (SBU).” 

 “The Regional Security Officer reports the diplomatic mission is under attack. Embassy Tripoli reports approximately 20 armed people fired shots; explosions have been heard as well. Ambassador Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four COM personnel are in the compound safe haven. The 17th of February militia is providing security support.  The operations Center will provide updates as available.” 

Second Email – 4:45pm EST

“Update 1: U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi (SBU)” 

“Embassy Tripoli reports the firing at the U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi has stopped and the compound has been cleared. A response team is on site attempting to locate COM personnel.” 

Third Email – 6:07pm EST

Obama’s Desperate Debate Falls Short

“In nowhere in the world is America’s influence greater today than it was four years ago.”

That was the allegation leveled bt Mitt Romney toward Obama last night in he was 100% correct.

It was clear that both candidates entered the debate with their own strategy.

For Obama, the strategy was to of goad Romney, debase Romney and try to lure Romney into being a pro war president.

For Romney, the strategy was to be presidential, diplomatic, knowledgeable, show that his administration would project strength at every turn on the world stage and turn the debate back to economic policy.

Obama left the debate frustrated that Romney would not take the bait, not be goaded in the directions Obama wanted and stood strong against Obama’s debasing tactics countering them with facts.

Romney left the debate having accomplished each and every one of his strategic goals.

Obama clearly had the edge in the number of “one liners” but, they were snarky, patronizing and intentionally meant to be belittling. Frankly, anything but presidential. Obama’s presentation of those one liners came across as frustrated and petty.

Romney dismissed them all with one simple line: “Attacking me is not an agenda.”

Without say it, that line summed up Obama’s entire campaign.

Regarding the foreign policy portions of the debate, Obama continually reduced his points to the smallest denominator.

I, me, me, me, I and on and “we killed bin Laden…

Romney Wins Tonight’s Debate by Showing Up

Tonight…The final debate.

Foreign policy.

How exactly will Obama defend his foreign policy?

We’re talking about a foreign policy which has garnered him the endorsements of Vladimir Putin…Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.

Well, he killed bin Laden.

Killing bin Laden is NOT a foreign policy. It’s a military strategic strike…Unless of course Obama intends to drop the whole Seal Team Six thing and assert tonight that the raid was carried out by a bunch of pencil pushing diplomats who took the al Qaeda leader down with political correctness.

Of course, we know better don’t we?

Diplomatic political correctness doesn’t take out our enemies…Political correctness only gets OUR people killed.

No matter…Obama WILL try to make the case that killing bin Laden and other assorted terrorists IS a strong foreign policy and reason enough to reelect him.

No matter that he’s snubbed Prime Minister Netanyahu…Suggested TO Netanyahu that Israel return to their pre 1967 borders and that he’s told Sarkosy he doesn’t think much of dealing with the Prime Minister…

He killed bin Laden.

Obama’s foreign policy of appeasement has been a real success…

In Egypt, Obama started his world apology tour back in 2009 and invited the Muslim Brotherhood to be his special guests at the Cairo speech. Obama, back at the beginning of the Arab Spring, when the homicide bombers were starting to bloom…ummm…boom…and the smell of gunpowder filled the air, said Mubarak must go and, go he did. Obama said his special guests from the Cairo speech should have a seat at the table in forming a new Egyptian government. They did.

Obama said the Brotherhood would NOT run for office. They did anyway and NOW, the Muslim Brotherhood CONTROLS Egypt AND they want to shred the Israel/Egypt peace accord.

Well DONE…..

But…He killed bin Laden.

Iran?

Weekend Edition: Slamming the Door On a AAA Policy

On Monday night, Mitt Romney has the opportunity to slam the door on Obama’s failed presidency in a most pronounced way.

The old conventional wisdom has always been that debates don’t make all that much difference but, that’s all out the window now.

The first debate swung things solidly in Romney’s direction.

Joe Biden, in the even MORE traditionally ignored Vice Presidential debate, was so widely disdained for his tremendously disturbed behavior that the hole became deeper for liberals.

In the second Presidential debate, Obama’s attack mode of desperation was glaring but, as the singular question regarding Libya was fact checked, Obama came out on the short end and the first of the polls from AFTER that debate are showing that Romney’s momentum remains strong.

So…Monday night…The 3rd and final debate between the tops of the tickets.

In a campaign and an election that’s supposed to be all about the economy…Foreign Policy will take center stage and it is Foreign Policy which stands the greatest chance of obliterating Obama’s presidency in much the same way as it is thought an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs.

Libya is just the tip of the asteroid.

The cosmic forces that set it in motion and put it on a collision course with planet Obama are the combined absurdity of 4 years of Obama’s foreign policies.

From the day Obama occupied the oval office, he embarked on foreign policy failure which can best be described as a Triple A policy.

Friday Fume

Liberal/socialists are spinning faster than pulsars and, in what is becoming deeper and deeper desperation, the lies spewing from them are running down the walls all over the place.

While the Obama Campaign Administration tells their lies louder and faster than ever before…Romney just sticks to the facts and guess what? Romney is now leading the polls.

It’s harder now than ever before to keep up with the liberal/socialist manure spreaders but…I’m always game to try.

My Friends and fellow Patriots…

Today is Friday and…

I’m fuming.

Senator Coburn from Oklahoma has published his 2012 book of government waste.

Oh…It’s a page turner!!!

Every year, Coburn catalogs the wasteful spending of congress and puts it all out there for prying eyes.

Let’s see…

NASA spent $947 MILLION dollars developing…A MENU OF FOOD WE COULD EAT ON MARS!!!

Ummm…Really?

WE’RE NOT EVEN SENDING ASTRONAUTS INTO SPACE!!!!!

For that matter…Why not just put the same stuff on the menu that is on the menu at the Space Station???

WOULD THAT BE SO HARD???

Obama, Like a Fart in a Phone Booth…

“Yesterday, four of these extraordinary Americans were killed in an attack on our diplomatic post in Benghazi.”

“The United States condemns in the strongest terms this outrageous and shocking attack.”

“Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths.  We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others.”

“But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence.  None.  The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts.”

“And then last night, we learned the news of this attack in Benghazi.”

“Libyan security personnel fought back against the attackers alongside Americans.”

“No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for.  Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America.”

“But we also know that the lives these Americans led stand in stark contrast to those of their attackers.”

The above quotes are directly from the transcript of Obama’s Rose Garden Speech on Wednesday September 12th regarding the attack in Benghazi the night before and the quotes are in the order in which they were spoken.

The quotes are a complete listing of anything he said directly pertaining to any attacks.

Debate 2: Obama’s Desperation is Showing

I lost count last night, during the debate, of how many times Obama asked Moderator Candy Crowley to either change the topic or how many times she cut off Mitt Romney to change the topic.

Each time Romney cornered Obama with facts to which Obama clearly didn’t want to respond, one of those two things happened.

Neither Crowley nor Obama however, could stave Romney off for the entire 90 minutes.

Romney shredded Obama on the economy and buried Obama under the record of his presidency. That moment came after a man who had voted Obama in 2008 asked him, essentially, why should I vote for you in 2012?

Obama responded with the talking points conjured up by his campaign, trying to highlight a dismal 4 years. It came across like a guy putting lipstick on a pig.

Romney showed the pig for what it has been over the past 4 years by simply quoting facts.

“I think you know better. I think you know that these last four years haven’t been so good as the president just described and that you don’t feel like your confident that the next four years are going to be much better either.

I can tell you that if you were to elect President Obama, you know what you’re going to get. You’re going to get a repeat of the last four years. We just can’t afford four more years like the last four years.”

From there, Romney literally listed the litany of Obama failures over the last 4 years and Obama, for one of the few times during the debate, sat quietly.

URGENT: A Transparent Fog of Tyranny (pt. 1)

In the ever spinning world of the Obama Campaign Administration cover up of the Libya terrorist attack, we take another go-around.

You may have noticed that, over the last week, I have taken to referring to Obama and his minions as, the “Obama Campaign Administration.”

Here’s why.

While Obama has been in campaign mode since the day he took office, it is now becoming clear that his campaign staff is making the decisions regarding everything including his foreign policies. These decisions are not in the best interest of the country…These decisions are in the best interests of the Obama campaign.

Why else, pray tell, would Obama have David Axelrod dispatched to the Sunday shows to talk about…Libya?

On Fox News Sunday, Axelrod was bemoaning the “politicization” of the Libya scandal.

Then, yesterday afternoon, 24 hours before tonight’s debate, it’s leaked that the administration is…”CONSIDERING” a strike or strikes in retaliation for the Libya terrorist attack.

Really?

First of all…Why exactly is this being…”leaked?”

To make Obama seem tough on terror the night before his next debate which will split time between domestic and…Foreign policy.

There are no coincidences.
