RonD1120 62 #901 January 9, 2014 Email received, pertinent and meaningful. Quote"A bump in the road" .... remember that calloused statement? I don't know the author of this poem. Received it today. Very thought provoking and poignant. I do recall, however, the President referring to the Benghazi incident as "a bump in the road." Today I heard an ex-Navy Seal being interviewed on Fox News regarding a book he has written about how to handle crisis situations in our lives. At the end of the interview he asked if he could make a comment on Benghazi and of course the anchor said yes. He then thanked Fox News for keeping theBenghazi story in the news, since other news organizations are not. He said the Seals who died deserve the public knowing the truth about the whole affair. The poem was written by a MARINE CORPS Officer (ANON). THE BATTLING BOYS OF BENGHAZI We're the battling boys of Benghazi No fame, no glory, no paparazzi. Just a fiery death in a blazing hell Defending our country we loved so well. It wasn't our job, but we answered the call, fought to the Consulate and scaled the wall. We pulled twenty Countrymen from the jaws of fate Led them to safety, and stood at the gate. Just the two of us, and foes by the score, But we stood fast to bar the door. Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied, So we fought, and we fought, and we fought 'til we died. We gave our all for our Uncle Sam, But Barack Obama didn't give a damn. Just two dead seals who carried the load No thanks to us.........we were just "Bumps In The Road". So will this reach every American with a computer? Or do we act like the press and give a pass to the incompetent people who literally sat there in the White House and watched the Seal's execution on live streaming video and did absolutely nothing? The Obama Administration obviously won't be held accountable because we apparently accept Hilary Clinton's statement, "What difference does it make?" Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Subsequent disclosures exposed the falsity of that narrative, and the Obama administration ultimately acknowledged that its early statements on Benghazi were untrue.Please don't dent the planet.

rushmc 23 #916 January 14, 2014 And it looks like the WH knew the video had nothing to do with it BEFORE they sent Rice out to lie to everyone http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/01/14/benghazi-transcripts-top-defense-officials-briefed-obama-on-attack-not-video-or/ QuoteMinutes after the American consulate in Benghazi came under assault on Sept. 11, 2012, the nation's top civilian and uniformed defense officials -- headed for a previously scheduled Oval Office session with President Obama -- were informed that the event was a "terrorist attack," declassified documents show. The new evidence raises the question of why the top military men, one of whom was a member of the president's Cabinet, allowed him and other senior Obama administration officials to press a false narrative of the Benghazi attacks for two weeks afterward. Gen. Carter Ham, who at the time was head of AFRICOM, the Defense Department combatant command with jurisdiction over Libya, told the House in classified testimony last year that it was him who broke the news about the unfolding situation in Benghazi to then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The tense briefing -- in which it was already known that U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens had been targeted and had gone missing -- occurred just before the two senior officials departed the Pentagon for their session with the commander in chief.

RonD1120 62 #917 January 17, 2014 QuoteSenate Panel: Deadly Attack on Consulate in Benghazi Was Preventable The Senate Intelligence Committee said on Wednesday that the deadly Sept. 11, 2012, attack by militants on U.S. government posts in Benghazi, Libya, was preventable and faulted the State Department for inadequate security precautions. “Throughout this investigation, the Obama administration was more of a roadblock than a contributor to committee efforts to look into the root cause of these attacks," said Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.. "This is especially troubling given that no one at the State Department, which has direct responsibility for the safety of U.S. diplomatic posts overseas, has been held accountable. “Despite many promises of ensuring justice for those behind this attack, that has not happened. This complete absence of accountability is unacceptable, and it is my hope that this administration will finally commit the intelligence, diplomatic and military resources to bring those responsible for these attacks to justice.” http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/benghazi-senate-state-department/2014/01/15/id/547137?ns_mail_uid=38937452&ns_mail_job=1553431_01152014&promo_code=163C4-1Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

RonD1120 62 #919 January 25, 2014 QuoteWhen the Tripoli team made it to the annex, two former SEALs employed as CIA security contractors, were on a roof returning fire. Three mortar rounds hit the building, killing both men and badly wounding a State Department security officer. Sergeant Halbruner and his Marine colleague are believed to have played a major role in getting the wounded off the roof under intense fire. QuoteCritics of the Obama administration’s response to Benghazi say the fact that two Delta Force commandos were instrumental in the rescue shows that the Pentagon should have made a concerted effort to get troops to the annex. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jan/25/delta-force-commando-awarded-second-highest-milita/ QuoteThe same reporters that insist their former GOP favorite Chris Christie is ruined for 2016 by traffic jams on a bridge are letting Hillary Clinton skate for embassy-security neglect that led to four dead government employees at Benghazi. http://nypost.com/2014/01/25/media-let-hillary-off-the-benghazi-hook/ QuoteThe problem, as SOFREP has pointed out before, is not that we have four dead American heroes killed in the line of duty. The world is a dangerous place, and bad stuff happens, we get it. The issue is that nothing was done afterwards to hold people accountable or learn from our mistakes in order to reduce risk to other Americans serving in dangerous places.

Anybody who thinks so is living in an alternate quantum reality. Still many Republican pundits and strategists are expressing optimism, including some of the brighter ones like syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer. “I don’t see any impediment on the way to her nomination,” Krauthammer said on Fox News Channel’s Special Report, but his assessment of Hillary’s chances in the general election were quite different. He described her as “a relatively weak opponent” and predicted that Republicans will be treated to “a really good shot at the White House,” if Hillary represents the opposition. This prediction of sorts was consistent with an earlier statement Krauthammer made about Hillary while being interviewed by Bill O’Reilly. “Name me one thing she accomplished in the four years….The only thing that came out of her Secretary of State period was a memorable line, ‘what difference does it make,’ about the Benghazi catastrophe – the first slaying of an American ambassador in three decades.” Needless to say, I am saddened and sickened by the attitude and position of many Americans. I equate HC with old lady underwear hanging to dry on the back porch. But, that's just me.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.
