The Obama Regimes Benghazi Tale Unravels............Makes "Dumb and Dumber" Look Brilliant!
By Wes Vernon
The Benghazi hearings that should have been held before the November election will now be gaveled to order on Wednesday of this week.
The Obama administration pulled out all stops in a major campaign (both before and after the election) to see to it that this day would never come. But now the House investigating committee chaired by Congressman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) will hear from whistleblowers this week. They include:
– Gregory N. Hicks, a Foreign Service officer and former Deputy Chief of Mission/Charge d'Affairs in Libya.
– Former Marine Mark I. Thompson, acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism for the State Department.
– Diplomatic security officer Eric Nordstrom, former Regional Security Officer in Libya. He was the top security officer in the country in the months leading up to the attacks on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya.
These are brave witnesses stepping forward. Their entire careers have been threatened. But the horror of witnessing outright high-ranking dereliction of duty that led to the deaths of four Americans (who were denied security assistance that night at the Benghazi compound) apparently became too much. Not only have their livelihoods and careers been threatened, but they will no doubt face vicious public attacks heaped upon them if the publicity reaches the point where it weakens President Obama's agenda. Bear that in mind when you hear the smears against the witnesses.
Whatever publicity emerges from this hearing depends on whether the mainstream media will curb or cease their own roles as accomplices in the cover-up – simply by ignoring the story. (An honorable exception to this is FoxNews.)
Mr. Obama had media assistance during last fall's campaign when writers and broadcasters actually parroted the alibis of the White House. (Read Candy Crowley during one of the debates, for example.) The highest priority at the time was saving President Obama's hide at the polls. Dear, dear – a most unwelcome time for scandal, that metaphorical "skunk at the garden party" to show up uninvited, don't you think?
What's that? You say the terrorists committed murderous acts at our compound in Benghazi, and killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and his colleagues? In the first place, the re-election narrative was that there is no such thing as "violent radical Islam." Such attacks, we were told, were just "workplace violence" or "man-made disasters," Orwellian speech codes meant to prevent Americans from knowing who their enemies are.
Al-Qaeda after all, was "on the run," as the president repeatedly boasted while on the campaign trail. Besides, we were assured, it was a teeny sliver of evil (on Islam's periphery). Y'know, something like a home-grown street gang.
"On the run," you say? Ummmm, well yes, Al Qaeda and those influenced by its terrorists were "on the "run," sort of. They would be setting off bombs around the world and then making a "run" for it, or their suicide bombers would be "running" toward crowded public gatherings with bombs strapped to their backs. (Nothing to see here, folks, just move right along, for it was bedtime in Washington and there was to be a big campaign day tomorrow).
Uninvited won't go away
Fast forward the time machine through another eight months: What's this? That garden party skunk still hanging around? That can't be! Didn't they hear esteemed White House spokesman Jay Carney explain that Benghazi was "a long time ago?" Translation: What's the matter with you plebeians? Always snooping! Always wanting to hold hearings! Always asking questions! Always wanting to learn facts! (In other words: Go away, boys and girls. Ya' bother me.)
Well, Mr. President, the questions persist
In our last installment, we reported on the efforts of attorneys for whistleblowers in Benghazigate to get State Department clearance to represent their clients before congressional hearings on the scandal. To do so, the government would need to clear them to share whatever classified information is involved in the case. The information was repeatedly requested by Congressman Issa. As of Sunday, attorneys Joe DiGenova and Victoria Toensing, who by the way are working this case pro bono, still had not been granted the full information they need to represent their clients.
The mess gets messier
The State Department's own whitewash report of the case followed a formula that resembled nothing so much as a Mr. McGoo act. The so-called Accountability Review Board (ARB) organized by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton before her exit is now itself being investigated by the department's own Inspector General, according to FoxNews investigative reporter James Rosen.
The Marx Brothers-style spectacle of investigators being investigated by the department's official investigator because of an ARB report (so lacking in credibility) was followed by a State Department denial that the investigators were being investigated.
Furthermore, Joseph DiGenova says his client whistleblower and other witnesses who were intimately involved in Benghazi asked to testify before the ARB panel "and were declined to be interviewed." DiGenova's law partner /wife Victoria Toensing observed on WMAL's Chris Plante Show, "You would think they [ARB] would want to interview the Secretary of State." Indeed, but that interview curiously did not take place. (Now does anyone think the Mr. Magoo analogy is a stretch? Hillary reportedly made it clear she did not want to be interviewed.)
This past weekend, DiGenova demanded, "What was the president's hour by hour schedule on the night of the attack on the [compound] at Benghazi? What was it? We haven't seen it. Nobody has seen it and the reason we haven't is because they don't want to let it out."
Evidence mounts
Hot bulletin from the "on the run" front: "The Libyan militia group that the State Department hired to defend its embattled diplomatic mission in Benghazi had clear al-Qaida sympathies and had prominently displayed the al-Qaida flag on a Facebook page for some months before the attack."
So reported Newsmax in an exclusive by John Rosenthal, author of The Jihadist Plot: the Untold Story of Al Qaeda and the Libyan Rebellion.
Rosenthal gets to the heart of the matter in observing, "Perhaps the biggest question is why the State Department would hire a group [the February 17th Martyrs Brigade] that openly displayed its admiration for al-Qaida, and ask it to participate in the defense of the diplomatic mission."
And continues to mount
The Weekly Standard reports that "even before the assaults ended," intelligence officials concluded "that Al-Qaeda-linked terrorists were involved" but that "senior administration officials...sought to obscure the emerging picture."
Steve Hayes, a senior WS writer and frequent panelist on Brett Baier's FoxNews Special Report, cites some deeply-held secret talking points intended to deceive the public. Fresh evidence makes it clear the administration was plotting feverishly the lines of the cover-up, knowing that al-Qaeda was involved.
The talking points were highlighted in a 43-page report from the GOP chairmen of five House committees. For that reason, reporters tended to ignore it. But Hayes notes the directly cited communications were circulated widely inside the government, "including at the highest levels." Participants included the State Department, the National Security Council, the CIA, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the White House.
The e-mails were provided by the White House to members of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees for a limited time only and on the condition that Republican senators would not block the then-pending confirmation of John Brennan as CIA Director. (Note: Another case of horse trading, or "log-rolling" as sometimes defined).
The report does not mention the names of the e-mail authors, but Hayes obtained the identities of two of them, and he names names: Victoria Nuland, State Department spokesman, at the time Hillary Clinton's communicator to the outside world; and Ben Rhodes, identified to Hayes as "a top adviser to President Obama on national security."
There is so much spilling out in this ongoing scandal and hour-by-hour crumbling cover-up and we could go on indefinitely (don't worry, we won't). Suffice it to recall at this point that when this president sought the White House, he solemnly promised "transparency." But then, that was "a long time ago."

Me, Leroy & Sequestration
A guy stopped at a small gas station. While filling his tank, he saw two men working along the roadside. One would dig a hole two or three feet deep, and then move on. The other man came along behind and filled the hole. This continued one hole, then another!
The driver walked over to where the men were working:
"Hold it a minute," he said. "Can you tell me what you are doing this for - digging and refilling?"
"Well, we work for the government and we're just doing our job," one said.
"But you're not accomplishing anything.
Aren't you just wasting the taxpayers' money?"
"You don't understand, mister, normally there's three of us: me, Elmer and Leroy.
I dig the hole, Elmer sticks in the tree, and Leroy here puts the dirt back. Elmer's job's been cut... so now it's just me an' Leroy."

HUMOR 4U.......
RETIRED HUSBAND
After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Wal-Mart.
Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse.
Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Wal-Mart:
Dear Mrs. Hronek,
Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Hronek, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras:
1. June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking.
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute
intervals.
3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away'. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money.
5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.
6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged.
8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' EMTs were called.
9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.
10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.
11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the ' Mission Impossible' theme.
12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.
13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'
14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'
And last, but not least:
15. October 23: Went into a fitting room,shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out.
If you don't send this to 12 of your dearest friends, you will be depriving them of some good humor.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is attempting to ram through another massive tax increase on the backs of American consumers who use the Internet for purchases…
+ + + + + +
Dear friends,
Grassfire Update
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is attempting to ram through another massive tax increase on the backs of American consumers who use the Internet for purchases…
And he’s doing it RIGHT NOW!
“The Marketplace Fairness Act” (S. 743), would mandate that businesses to collect sales taxes for all of America’s estimated 9,600 state and local taxing authorities!
The complexity to comply would raise consumer costs, and force small and medium-sized businesses to keep track of thousands of different tax codes to do online business – a move that will likely crush small business. This complexity
could force businesses to stop selling out of state, stunting growth and driving down the economy!
And for those unwilling to comply, bureaucrats will have the authority to levy stiff penalties and interest on top of the tax bill!
Small business owners also oppose the plan saying it forces them to shift their focus from innovation and growth to complying with complicated tax codes from each individual state.
Grassfire has launched this EMERGENCY petition – to give free-market consumers an opportunity to challenge Reid, by opposing this latest tax-hike scheme.
I’ve already added my name to this important petition and I’m urging you to do the same.
Click below to add your name to our petition opposing “The Marketplace Fairness Act” – which in reality is simply an Internet Sales tax that you will be paying!

Securing Syria's chemical arms would carry huge risks
by Staff Writers
Washington (AFP) May 3, 2013
A military mission to secure Syria's chemical arsenal would require a large ground force and pose huge risks, with the outcome hinging on the quality of Western intelligence, experts say.
With the Syrian regime suspected of using chemical agents against rebels, US and Western military commanders are planning for a possible worst-case scenario in which an international force would move in to neutralize the lethal weapons.
Any attempt to seize control of chemical agents in Syria would depend on the intelligence gathered by foreign spy services, which have struggled at times to track the Damascus regime's stockpiles.
"The first thing is you have to know where they are. Where are the weapons stored and where are the production sites and production-related sites?" said David Kay, the former UN weapons inspector who led the Iraq Study Group.
"It seems obvious but it's not easy," Kay, now a senior fellow at the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, told AFP.
Syria is believed to have hundreds of tons of chemical agents such as sarin and VX as well as mustard gas, but the precise details of its arsenal remain unknown.
To take control of the weapons, the United States or its allies would have to send in boots on the ground, including teams of technical experts, special forces units and a large contingent -- likely tens of thousands -- of conventional troops to seize and guard chemical sites, analysts said.
"Even under the best of circumstances, it's a highly manpower intensive effort because you have to -- 24/7 -- surround the sites, and ensure that others are not entering," Kay said.
The intervention force would have to launch bombing raids to take out air defenses as a preliminary step and would also likely need to target some depots that could not be seized by a ground force.
"There are probably some facilities that will be beyond our reach that we will have to use air strikes to deal with," said Michael Eisenstadt, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute.
At sites seized by ground forces, troops would need to stand guard while weapons experts -- clad in protective clothing and using special medical equipment -- document and neutralize the chemical agents and munitions.
The weapons experts would likely have to destroy the nerve agents or lethal gas on site, as transporting them would be too risky, according to Kay.
As special incinerators would not be available, the lethal agents likely would be placed in a lime pit and broken down with other chemicals, reducing toxicity to a level equivalent to industrial waste.
The painstaking process would take "weeks or months even," said Eisenstadt.
The intervention force would also need to destroy missiles, aerial bombs and artillery shells used to deliver chemical agents, which would likely require a wave of air strikes.
"You don't destroy the chemical weapons themselves but all the ways in which they can be delivered to the population," said Elizabeth O'Bagy of the Institute for the Study of War.
Part of the arsenal could be "entombed" by bombing designed to collapse and seal bunkers with rubble, Eisenstadt said.
"We've developed a series of munitions that could be used for these kind of missions," he said.
The US military has a bomb, the BLU-119/B, specifically designed to incinerate chemical agents, though the Pentagon has never disclosed how it has fared in tests.
Air raids also could be used to prevent an adversary from accessing a chemical arms site, but any attempt to bomb from the air would be fraught with danger.
Flawed intelligence or a single mistake in an air strike could cause a disastrous release of chemical agents that would threaten the very civilians that the United States and its allies hope to protect.
Trying to secure the chemical stockpiles would be an unprecedented undertaking, so filled with peril and uncertainty that some have called it an impossible mission.
Even if an operation went mostly as planned, parts of the arsenal would likely fall into the wrong hands, analysts said.
It would be "very tough," said Kay. "There are no good options."
Israel behind Syria strikes, hit Iran missiles: source

Syria under regime and Israeli attack: rebels
Beirut (AFP) May 05, 2013 - Syria's rebel Free Syrian Army reacted cautiously on Sunday to reported Israeli air strikes near Damascus, saying their country was already under attack daily by regime war planes.
"Of course the Free Syrian Army and any Syrian is bothered that their country is being bombed, but Syria is being bombed every day by (President) Bashar al-Assad, and by Israel," FSA media and political coordinator Louay Muqdad told AFP.
He spoke after Syrian state media reported that Israeli rockets struck a military facility outside the capital Damascus overnight, the second reported attack by the Jewish state inside Syria this week.
"We wonder why there are so many missiles and military installations around Damascus when they should be close to the ceasefire line with Israel on the Golan Heights," he added.
"For us, the operations that we carry out every day are not related to Israeli attacks or anything else, and we will continue to fight until the fall of Assad," he said.
Israel has reportedly carried out at least three air strikes on Syrian sites, apparently targeting weapons destined for the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which is allied with the Syrian regime.
Israel carried out a pre-dawn air strike near Damascus on Sunday, targeting Iranian missiles destined for Lebanon's Hezbollah in the second such raid on Syrian soil in three days, a senior Israeli source said.
"The target was Iranian missiles which were destined for Hezbollah," he told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The attack targeted a facility just northwest of the Syrian capital, very close to the site of a similar attack late January which was implicitly confirmed by Israel, the source said.
He also confirmed Israel was behind an earlier strike on a target very close to Damascus airport which took place early on Friday, which also struck Iranian arms destined for the Lebanese Shiite movement.
"Any time Israel learns about the transfer of weapons from Syria to Lebanon, it will attack," he warned.
According to Syria's official SANA news agency, Sunday morning's attack targeted the Jamraya military research centre near Damascus, in the Eastern Ghouta region.
Following the strike, the Israeli air force went on high alert, although the Jewish state was not anticipating a significant response from Damascus, the source said.
"The air force is now on high alert, the highest in recent years," he said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is due to leave later on Sunday for a five-day visit to China, and the fact that he had not cancelled the trip suggested Israel was not expecting a major response from Syria, he added.
The official Syrian news agency SANA accused Israel of being behind the attack as a show of support for the rebel forces fighting a two-year insurgency against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
"This new Israeli aggression is a clear attempt to alleviate the pressure on the armed terrorist groups after our army beat them back in several regions and after the army's victories on the road to recovering security and stability in Syria," said SANA.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights watchdog said residents reported seeing aircraft when powerful blasts rocked the area, indicating the strike had caused casualties.

The new procedure (WHAAAT????) is the government's first security change directly related to the Boston bombings.
The order from a senior official at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, David J.
