Benghazi

Gregory Hicks Supported Hillary and Obama

Steve MacDonald

According to his attorney, one of the men “speaking truth to power” on Benghazi (Gregory Hicks) is a registered Democrat who supported Hillary Clinton in the 2008 primary, then later voted for Barack Obama.  Twice.

And why wouldn’t he be?  He was the deputy chief of mission in Libya before Chris Stevens was executed by terrorists at which point he became the chief of mission. You’d expect him to be a Democrat.

Hick’s attorney Victoria Toensing, shared those details in an interview with NBC News, set to air before the hearings took place last week, but NBC was more interested in selling a partisan spin and spiked that part of the story.

This is not surprising but it begs some further consideration.

CIA Warned of Terrorist Threat Before Benghazi; 12 Talking Point Revisions by State Dept.

Hillary Clinton loses it Drudge BenghaziABC News is breaking a story by Jonathan Karl.  It turns out there is a cover up and it’s bigger than suspected.  Not only did the Administration know that the Benghazi attack was a terrorist attack and not due to any video, but the CIA also put out warnings about the terror threat in Benghazi before the attack. The State Department revised the Benghazi Talking Points used by the Administration to address the American public and media about the attack on the American Embassy in Benghazi on September 11, 2013.  The State Dept. removed all references to Al-Qaeda and all references to CIA warnings of attack in Benghazi because of politics 12 revisions show.  The Administration said initially that only one word had been changed and just this week Jay Carney White House Press Secretary stated that nothing substantive was changed.  He lied.

The following paragraph was deleted entirely from the talking points.  From ABC News (emphasis mine):

Now we Know the Answer – None of the Above [Updated]

Steve MacDonald

During the 2008 primary Hillary Clinton asked the question, will Barack Obama be the guy who can answer that all important “3am phone call?” We’ve seen repeatedly that the answer to that question is no but the point of the ad was to infer that if you voted for Hillary the answer would be yes. … Read more

And They Can All Go Down Together

Steve MacDonald

We should keep track of who among our Democrat ‘friends’ comes to the aid of Hillary Clinton.  It is known that she knew it was an attack not a protest.  A terrorist attack.  It involved al Qaeda.  That there were assets in range to help.  And she did nothing.  Obama did nothing.  Unless orchestrating a cover-up counts as doing something.  For weeks at a time.  On National Television   In ads played in foreign countries.  Even in front of the caskets of those who died as a result of their….um…leadership.

“We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing do to with.”

Make note of who serves the left’s masters like ideological chattel so they can all go down together.

Just Trying to Get In Front of a Trend

Steve MacDonald

With this whole Benghazi thing unraveling we have a huge opportunity to take advantage of the narrative.  No, not the one where Clinton left her own embassy swinging in the Islamo-fascist wind before, during, and after 9/11.  No, not the one where Americans under attack called for help and no one answered the phone.  No, not the … Read more

What difference, at this point, does it make? One Mother Answers Hillary And Blames Her

Jake Tapper of CNN interviewed Pat Smith.  She is the mother of Sean Smith, who was a State Department officer killed in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.

I can’t say that I’m the least bit surprised that Mrs. Smith is not all that sanguine about the dilatory dissemination of information coming from the Administration that answers the questions we’ve all been asking about the attack on the U.S. Embassy.  The attack that resulted in 4 dead, murdered Americans, including the first Ambassador to be killed in 30 years.

It’s simply a cover up, and it’s disgraceful.  To call it anything else is mendacious.  And Mrs. Smith knows who to blame: Hillary Clinton (at around 2:16 in the clip).

Hillary Clinton loses it Drudge BenghaziHILLARY CLINTON, FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE: With all due respect, the fact is, we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they’d go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator.

SMITH: Well, that’s what I want to know. Why did it happen? And she is in charge. Why couldn’t she do something about it? I blame her.

What Difference at This Point Does it Make? As it Turns out – Quite a Bit!

Steve MacDonald
Clinton What difference at this point
The honorable Hillary Clinton? Not so much.

What Difference at this point does it make? Well, Democrats might want to stop hitching their wagon to Hillary 2016.

In light of recent details compiled from State Department and White House emails that show how Clinton and Obama (State and White House) scrubbed the CIA details on Benghazi, it makes all the difference in the world.  What started as a planned terrorist attack, complete with al-Qaida operatives in the mix, on 9/11, that killed four–including our Ambassador to Libya–was reduced to a spontaneous riot that got out of hand because of a YouTube Video.

One more time.  Smartest President Ever?  Really?

NH Democrats Focused on The Economy

Steve MacDonald

Hah!  No they’re not.  If that were true they wouldn’t be blowing out the state budget and growing spending five times faster than estimated growth.

Democrats.  Don’t you love them?

What they are actually focused on is off-shoring (that’s a metaphor) their own responsibility for managing our sovereign state.  Instead of standing up and running on the Democrat party stated position on super-duper enhanced background checks at the state level, they are passing the buck on to the Federal government.   It’s a big deal for them, “off-shoring” your state’s rights to the feds.

White House Changes To Benghazi Talking Points Revealed

Steve MacDonald

Compiled from emails exchanged between the White House, State, and other Federal entities, The Weekly Standard reports on details compiled and released that show what the White House knew, when they knew it, and what they ended up saying.  (Image of talking points before and after on the jump).

Synopsis?

The first, at 4:05 p.m. (all times are Eastern Standard Time), indicated that the compound was under attack; the second, at 6:08 p.m., indicated that Ansar al Sharia, an al Qaeda-linked terrorist group operating in Libya, had claimed credit for the attack. According to the House report, these alerts were circulated widely inside the government, including at the highest levels. The fighting in Benghazi continued for another several hours, so top Obama administration officials were told even as the fighting was taking place that U.S. diplomats and intelligence operatives were likely being attacked by al Qaeda-affiliated terrorists. A cable sent the following day, September 12, by the CIA station chief in Libya, reported that eyewitnesses confirmed the participation of Islamic militants and made clear that U.S. facilities in Benghazi had come under terrorist attack. It was this fact, along with several others, that top Obama officials would work so hard to obscure.

The Obama Admin went with the random riot and then YouTube video lies for what, a week or more–despite evidence it was an al Qaeda affiliated terror attack.

Who wrote “The Battling Bastards of Benghazi”?

Several months ago I posted a poem written in tribute to the American fighters in Benghazi who disobeyed orders to get into the fight and to save American lives (and by all accounts former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty did save many lives). You can read my first posting HERE. But it appears I may have misattributed the author of the poem.  I’ve recently received an email from John Roberts, a former SEAL himself, who says this:

Isn’t John Kerry’s Own Success Proof Of What He Says?

Is this the pot calling the kettle black?John kerry

“In America, you have a right to be stupid, if you want to be, and you have a right to be disconnected to somebody else if you want to be. And we tolerate that – we somehow make it through that.”  –John Kerry

And were it not for stupid people, we would not have professional politicians like…John Forbes Kerry (who served in Vietnam, by the way).

I’m not sure about that last part though–making it through?

Ben Gahzi Walks into A Bar Without Barak Obama Or Hillary Clinton…

Steve MacDonald

Leon Panetta testifies to that which we already knew…

Panetta said that, save their 5 o’clock prescheduled meeting with the president the day of September 11, Obama did not call or communicate in anyway with the defense secretary that day. There were no calls about the what was going on in Benghazi. He never called to check-in.

So what about Hillary?
