Obama’a handlers are trying to shut down the voices that can reveal what really went down in Benghazi. My take is that Ambassador Stevens was allowed to be murdered because he was probably overseeing illegal arms deals. Just saying!
Maj. Gen. Ralph Baker, commander of the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, was fired March 28, according to a Washington Defense official.
The command is headquartered in Djibouti and runs U.S. military operations in East Africa, including some counter-terrorism operations.
Baker, a two-star general, is appealing the firing, which was ordered by his boss, Gen. Carter Ham, the commanding general of all U.S. military operations across Africa.
He was relieved of his duty for loss of confidence, three Defense officials told CNN.
It was second embarrassing dismissal of a high ranking officer involved in the U.S. military hierarchy in Africa in five months.
Gen. William “Kip” Ward, the first four-star general to command U.S. military operations in Africa, was demoted for excessive spending from duty at U.S. Africa Command (Africom).
He lost one star and retired a lieutenant general.
Ward used his rank to shuttle his wife on shopping sprees, enjoyed a lavish beachfront trip and once accepted a Defense contractor’s gift of going backstage to meet actor Denzel Washington.
There are reports that two high-ranking military officers, Rear Admiral Charles Gaouette and General Carter Ham, were fired by Obama for wanting to come to the assistance of the beleaguered U.S. missions in Benghazi.
Washington, D.C. (November 26, 2012) – Last Friday, the Law Offices of David Yerushalmi, P.C. and the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) filed a devastating legal brief supported by hundreds of pages of evidence,http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/p19154.xml asking a federal judge to find the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) liable to five of its former clients for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The legal brief demonstrates beyond any reasonable doubt that CAIR is a criminal organization that deceptively holds itself out to the public as the nation’s largest Muslim-American civil rights organization.
This is so disgusting that I am almost at a loss for “foul” words. I would love to see Hillary step down, and then promptly spill the Beans about the Zer-O- in Chump. The four Americans that were murdered would still be alive today if we had a president, and not a jack-assed community organizer running things. http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/15/us/clinton-benghazi/index.html
Clinton: I’m responsible for diplomats’ securityFrom Elise Labott, CNN

Lima, Peru (CNN) — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday tried to douse a political firestorm over the deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya, saying she’s responsible for the security of American diplomatic outposts.
“I take responsibility,” Clinton told CNN in an interview while on a visit to Peru. “I’m in charge of the State Department’s 60,000-plus people all over the world, 275 posts. The president and the vice president wouldn’t be knowledgeable about specific decisions that are made by security professionals
He has permitted not just the communists to thrive around the world but the Islamists as well.
Obama has the nerve to say that he would track down the killers of Ambassador Stevens in Libya.
But what has he done? He hasn’t even found them, has he? Instead, he was off to a fundraising event 10 minutes later.
This man has a hard-left agenda.
He has permitted not just the communists to thrive around the world but the Islamists as well.

This is only the beginning.
The Islamists in Iran have attacked our banking infrastructure over the last few days. In fact, if you had trouble withdrawing money from the Bank of America or other banks, it’s because Iran has infiltrated the banks’ computers and is trying to cause havoc in our banking system.
Yup, I am starting to get quite a few hits from the middle east. This is a good thing. If they are looking for good, accurate information, awesome. If there are some who are the goat fornicating, pajama wearing 8th century throw backs, then I hope you catch a bullet, or a hoof to the bucket.
Conservative bloggers need to continue to post, and re-post accurate article that the majority of the media refuses to do.
Unreal! Then again, Obama does not have a clue to what he is doing either at home or abroad. And these goat kissing pukes are saying it is all about some movie that puts Big Mo in a bad light? Let’s see how Barack spins this to his advantage? MAybe this type of incident has been hoped for by Obama and his string pullers? Ya know, don’t let a crisis go to waste crap. http://www.wtsp.com/news/article/273131/81/US-ambassador-to-Libya–J-Christopher-Stevens-among-4-Americans-killed-in-attack-on-consolate-in-Benghazi
(CBS/AP) Libyan officials said Wednesday that U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens was among four Americans killed in an attack by Muslim protesters on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi the previous evening.
“I do condemn the cowardly act of attacking the US consulate and the killing of Mr Stevens and the other diplomats,” Deputy Prime Minister Mustafa Abushagur said on his Twitter account. “Amb. Stevens was a friend of Libya and we are shocked at the attacks on the U.S. consulate.”
Abushagur said in a subsequent tweet: “I condemn these barbaric acts in the strongest possible terms. This is an attack on America, Libya and free people everywhere.”
Only one death had been verified Tuesday night by U.S. officials, and the State Department had yet to confirm Stevens’ death or the two others first reported Wednesday morning by the Reuters news agency. CBS News is seeking confirmation from U.S. officials.
This could have been the slogan back in 1939 for anybody daring to capture or Kill Adolph Hitler. fast forward to 2012, and we once again have Hitler on our planet: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. We have this vile rat coming to the US. Why don’t we take him into custody,or simply take him out? No doubt he has helped arm our enemies during wartime. He has also called for the destruction of Israel. Hitler taught us that these threats are real. I say a 30 pack of coolies to the person who sends him straight to his 72 virgin goats.
So these 8th century throw-backs who would strap a bomb to an infant, are just now thinking about using dogs? I am starting to think that Hades is too good a place for these stains.
At the age of only 30, the al Qaeda bomb maker behind the foiled plot on U.S-bound planes has emerged as the most feared face of terror for American authorities, a master technician with a fierce hatred for America and ingenious plans for hiding hard-to-detect bombs inside cameras, computers and even household pets.
Here are some words by an old blogging buddy of mine; Bill More:” really puts in perspective what took place on the first day of the liberation of Europe. The video is graphic and shows what both sides of this front were subject to. It also shows the quiet beauty of the area today.
Anger and hate and conflict settle so little. The song “The tide is turning” is a song of hope; that the tide is turning. The world however doesn’t seem to be getting the message. We don’t seem to be any closer to living in peace and harmony today as we were on the day – 6th June 1944.
Our old enemies are now our allies. Americans are a very forgiving people. We saw evil and we stepped up to stop it. After we defeated the aggressors, we stepped in and rebuild what was destroyed… in France, in Italy, in Germany, in Japan, in South Korea. Yet the world looks at us as aggressors and some call us Imperialists. Had we wanted, as the victors, we could have lived up to the accusations that some are calling us today. We didn’t! We spent our resources and energies and those of our people to make life better for those who were caught up in war.
Well, hopefully, with so many in the world wanting freedom from the tyranny they live under, hopefully the tide is turning and the hope for peace and freedom will be the norm rather than the exception.”
And here is how this event would be reported today.
If D-Day Had Been Reported On Today
by William A. Mayer
Tragic French Offensive Stalled on Beaches (Normandy, France – June 6, 1944) – Pandemonium, shock and sheer terror predominate today’s eventsin Europe.
In an as yet unfolding apparent fiasco, Supreme Allied Commander, Gen. Dwight David Eisenhower’s troops got a rude awakening this morning at Omaha Beach here in Normandy.
Due to insufficient planning and lack of a workable entrance strategy, soldiers of the 1st and 29th Infantry as well as Army Rangers are now bogged down and sustaining heavy casualties inflicted on them by dug-in insurgent positions located 170 feet above them on cliffs overlooking the beaches which now resemble blood soaked killing fields at the time of this mid-morning filing.
Bodies, parts of bodies, and blood are the order of the day here, the screams of the dying and the stillness of the dead mingle in testament to this terrible event.
Morale can only be described as extremely poor–in some companies all the officers have been either killed or incapacitated,leaving only poorly trained privates to fend for themselves.
Things appear to be going so poorly that Lt. General Omar Bradley has been rumored to be considering breaking off the attack entirely. As we go to press embattled U.S. president Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s spokesman has not made himself available for comment at all, fueling fires that something has gone disastrously awry.
The government at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is in a distinct lock-down mode and the Vice President’s location is presently and officially undisclosed.
Whether the second in command should have gone into hiding during such a crisis will have to be answered at some future time, but many agree it does not send a good signal.
Miles behind the beaches and adding to the chaos, U.S. Naval gunships have inflicted many friendly fire casualties, as huge high explosive projectiles rain death and destruction on unsuspecting Allied positions. The lack of training of Naval gunners has been called into question numerous times before and today’s demonstration seems to underlie those concerns.
At Utah Beach the situation is also grim, elements of the 82nd and 101st Airborne seemed to be in disarray as they missed their primary drop zones behind the area believed to comprise the militant’s front lines. Errant paratroopers have been hung up in trees, breaking arms and legs, rendering themselves easy targets for those defending this territory.
On the beach front itself the landing area was missed,catapulting U.S. forces nearly 2,000 yards South of the intended coordinates, thus placing them that much farther away from the German insurgents and unable to direct covering fire or materially add to the operation.
Casualties at day’s end are nothing short of horrific; at least 8,000 and possibly as many as 9,000 were wounded in the haphazardly coordinated attack, which seems to have no unifying purpose or intent. Of this number at least 3,000 have been estimated as having been killed, making June 6th by far, the worst single day of the war which has dragged on now–with no exit strategy in sight–as the American economy still struggles to recover from Herbert Hoover’s depression and its 25% unemployment.
Military spending has skyrocketed the national debt into uncharted regions, lending another cause for concern. When and if the current hostilities finally end it may take generations for the huge debt to be repaid.
On the planning end of things, experts wonder privately if enough troops were committed to the initial offensive and whether at least another 100,000 troops should have been added to the force structure before such an audacious undertaking. Communication problems also have made their presence felt making that an area for further investigation by the appropriate governmental committees.
On the home front, questions and concern have been voiced. A telephone poll has shown dwindling support for the wheel-chair bound Commander In Chief, which might indicate a further erosion of support for his now three year-old global war.
Of course, the President’s precarious health has always been a question. He has just recently recovered from pneumonia and speculation persists whether or not he has sufficient stamina to properly sustain the war effort. This remains a topic of furious discussion among those questioning his competency.
Today’s costly and chaotic landing compounds the President’s already large credibility problem.
More darkly, this phase of the war, commencing less than six months before the next general election, gives some the impression that Roosevelt may be using this offensive simply as a means to securere-election in the fall.
Underlining the less than effective Allied attack, German casualties–most of them innocent and hapless conscripts–seem not to be as severe as would be imagined. A German minister who requested anonymity stated categorically that “the aggressors were being driven back into the sea amidst heavy casualties, the German people seek no wider war.”
“The news couldn’t be better,” Adolph Hitler said when he wasfirst informed of the D-Day assault earlier this afternoon.
“As long as they were in Britain we couldn’t get at them. Now we have them where we can destroy them.”
German minister Goebbels had been told of the Allied airborne landings at 0400 hours.
“Thank God, at last,” he said. “This is the final round.”
Obama To Give 5 Top Terrorists To Taliban
From the prestigious magazine, Foreign Policy:
Exclusive: Taliban Gitmo deal is swap for a Westerner
Posted By Josh Rogin
Tuesday, March 13, 2012
The pending deal to move senior Taliban figures from Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to Qatar is part of a trade for the return of a Western prisoner, according to Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).
The Obama administration’s plan to move five top Taliban officials to live under house arrest in Qatar has been extensively reported but never openly discussed by administration officials. And until Feinstein confirmed it to The Cable, the fact that the crux of the deal is a swap for a Westerner had never been publicly disclosed.
