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

Weekend Edition: Liberal Lies and Kryptonite

In this presidential race, arguably the most important since 1860, Mitt Romney is gaining momentum and Obama is starting to fade.

We are but 16 days from casting ballots in a race that has easily encompassed the last 16 months.

The question is…Why? Why is Romney gaining the momentum? Why is Obama fading?

Liberals, as the hours and days go by, are getting more and more desperate.

Again…Why?

Liberals have nobody but themselves to blame for their own desperation and their candidate’s fading numbers.

From the very beginning, from the day of his nomination, Obama has been shielded from reality by the media. At least, that is the conventional wisdom. To some extent, it’s true but, I contend that it goes much, MUCH deeper than that.

Obama has rarely, very rarely, face tough questions its true. The media, a liberal lap dog media, has seen to that. They have steadfastly refused to challenge Obama and they have been quick to label those who might, as racists either by saying it themselves via their liberal media pundits or by allowing the narrative of racism itself to go unchallenged.

Think back to December 10th, 2010. That was the day that Obama held a press conference to talk about a new tax plan compromise.

As the questions got detailed, suddenly, Obama stepped aside and left the questions to be answered by…Bill Clinton. The liberal lap dog media was all too happy to have Clinton at the podium and even peppered the formally impeached president with foreign policy questions in Obama’s absence.

On June 15th of THIS year, Obama made public his Dream Act decree from the Rose Garden. This was a speech, not a press conference but, one reporter, Neil Munro, dared ask a question.

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.

State Dept. RUNS For Cover Up Cover

After the State Department said:

“The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims — as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions,” it said. “We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.” – From the Embassy in Cairo

“Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior, along with the protest that took place at our Embassy in Cairo yesterday, as a response to inflammatory material posted on the internet. America’s commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear – there is no justification for this, none. Violence like this is no way to honor religion or faith. And as long as there are those who would take innocent life in the name of God, the world will never know a true and lasting peace.” – Hillary Clinton

“To us, to me personally, this video is disgusting and reprehensible. It appears to have a deeply cynical purpose to denigrate a great religion and provoke rage. But as we said yesterday, there is no justification — none at all — for responding to this video with violence.” – Hillary Clinton

“In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated. We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to – or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo.” – Susan Rice

And…

“I would simply say that … the comments that Ambassador Rice made accurately reflect our government’s initial assessment.” – Victoria Nuland

They came out in the dark of night on Tuesday and said:

Libya Cover Up – Obama’s Whistling Lies

If you look at a Monet with a magnifying glass, it looks like a collection of brightly colored blotches.

As congressional hearings into the Libya disaster and cover-up get under way today, I believe that to really understand the mindset that led to the deaths of 4 Americans in Benghazi, we must stand back from the painting a little.

With the republican primary season in full swing, team Obama had to know that they would be unable to run by defending their fiscal record. Unemployment was still way too high…food stamp usage was at its highest point in history and rising…Gas prices were out of hand and rising…Obama had never managed to pass a budget…Our credit had been downgraded for the first time in history…GDP was struggling and nearly on life support…The debt clock was going like a bat out of hell…Stimulus hadn’t worked…Obamacare was on the ropes…Manufacturing was way down…Incomes were way down…

You get the picture.

How does one run on THAT? How does one DEFEND that???

The date was April 26th, 2012.

Joe Biden was speaking in NYC.

Who Shot First and Aimed Later???

In Cairo, as our embassy was being attacked, our flag removed and burned and the al Qaeda flag raised, this is the statement which was issued through the embassy:

“The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims — as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions,” it said. “We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.”

8 hours later, the terrorist attack took place in Libya and 4 Americans were killed.

It was shortly after that, that Mitt Romney released the statement which immediately drew scorn from Obama, his administration and the liberal media. Here is that statement:

“It’s disgraceful that the Obama administration’s first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.”

About 2 hours AFTER Mitt Romney’s comments…The WHITE HOUSE released THEIR statement that, “the embassy statement did not reflect the government’s views.”

And what ELSE did they say about Romney regarding his comment???

 “Romney shoots first and aims later.”

Oh Really. ROMNEY shoots first and aims later. ROMNEY…

Really?

Weekend Edition: Lies Upon Lies to Cover-Up Blood on His Hands

Obama told us on September 13th: “Glen and Tyrone had each served America as Navy SEALs for many years, before continuing their service providing security for our diplomats in Libya. They died as they lived their lives — defending their fellow Americans, and advancing the values that all of us hold dear.

Susan Rice, our U.N. Ambassador told us on September 16th: “Well, first of all, we had a substantial security presence with our personnel…with our personnel and the consulate in Benghazi. Tragically, two of the four Americans who were killed were there providing security. That was their function. And indeed, there were many other colleagues who were doing the same with them.”

Both were speaking of the Navy Seals who were murdered in the Benghazi terrorist attack on September 11th, Woods and Doherty.

On September 20th we were told by administration officials: “The two former SEALS, Tyrone Woods, 41, and Glen Doherty, 42, were not employed by the State Department diplomatic security office and instead were what is known as personal service contractors who had other duties related to security. They stepped into action, however, when Stevens became separated from the small security detail normally assigned to protect him when he traveled from the more fortified embassy in Tripoli to Benghazi.”

Then, on September 23rd, we learned that: “Woods and Doherty were killed in the firefight at the annex, according to official reports.”

That annex, some 2 miles away from the Consulate where Ambassador Stevens and State Dept. Official Sean Smith were murdered…WAS ATTACKED IN A SECOND WAVE OF THE TERRORIST ATTACK A COUPLE OF HOURS AFTER THE INITIAL ATTACK.

So…We have gone from…The Navy Seals were a part of Ambassador Stevens’ security detail to…They stepped in to protect Ambassador Stevens when he became separated from his small security detail to…The Navy Seals, Woods and Doherty, we killed at an annex miles away and in a separate wave OF the initial attack.

Why?

Weekend Edition: The Fast and Furious Libya Cover-Up

After 18 days of watching the response to the terrorist attack in Libya, I must admit that I am absolutely livid.

What They’re Covering Up.

It’s bad enough that Obama and his administration knew full well that this attack was a terrorist attack and then they lied about what it was for the better part of 2 weeks but, it gets even worse.

I’ll get to the lies later.

Now we discover that, while indeed there had been 4 attacks or attempted attacks on diplomatic missions  in the region leading up to the September attacks…The Consulate in Benghazi had been classified as a “critical threat terrorism or civil unrest posting,” and, stunningly…

Not one single upgrade in security, either physical or in personnel, was done to protect the Benghazi Consulate or the people who were stationed there.

Not one.

In fact Ambassador Stevens, in his personal journal, found by CNN stated that he feared the rise of al Qaeda in the region and believed he was on a hit list.

Now, cables from the Ambassador to the State Department are being sought but, the State Department is dragging their feet in turning those communications over to the Senate.

Why?

Could those communications reveal that Stevens had requested more security…Which was never provided?

Could those communications show much, much more?? Trust me…I’ll get to that!!!
