scandal

I just saw the Reaganomics post and will respond at my first opportunity. I just popped on today to link to a detailed account of a story I've had a particular interest in ...

The State Department held a press briefing today in which the most detailed account of the Benghazi Embassy attacks was laid out. Found HERE this story reads like something out of a Vince Flynn novel. The attacks, firefights, driving against traffic with two flat tires in an escape attempt, and most damning of all is State flatly saying that "others in the administration" whom claimed this was all a result of protests (spontaneous or otherwise) were wrong noting, "that was never our conclusion."

Now you might ask yourself why State would come out against its' own administration (read: its' current boss). Well, State Department officials, career State Department officials are testifying under oath to congress starting today and a security official that fended off the attack has already testified that security was "inappropriately low", and repeated requests for enhancing it were denied. The bottom line - career State Department and security professionals are not about to commit perjury for a CIC that looks to be on his way out of office.

The POTUS clearly and repeatedly lied. UN Ambassador Susan Rice, SoS Clinton, and Press Secretary Jay Carney all repeated this lie, emphatically so. A sign of how bad this is getting - Carney does a daily press briefing... he hasn't been seen nor heard from in two weeks; and what is described as an "emergency meeting" between Hillary and the President is said to be taking place this very afternoon.

And guess what? The next presidential debate is on foreign policy.
