It's Narrative by the Nose Thing

Dear America,

It's not the issue whether Obama and Biden KNEW of the security decisions made by lower level bureaucrats prior to the attack in Libya on September 11, 2012 --  WELL IT IS, but it isn't --  but thanks anyway, Hillary.

“I take responsibility...The president and the vice president wouldn’t be knowledgeable about specific decisions that are made by security professionals, [who are] the ones who weigh all of the threats and the risks and the needs and make a considered decision." thank you Daily Caller here.

The nose grows.

Sure, there is the clear and present danger that it was indeed another anniversary of September 11th, and Libya could have been guarded better all the way around. There is that.  And that's hindsight for you, right?  That would be using our noggin, but nooooooo....

While the Bahamian Embassy probably wasn't necessarily the most critical hot spot to protect...just sayin'...and tried to find my backup for that statement, but can't find a thing on it anymore, like anywhere...so strange...

But no matter...this is where "the State Department" placed their priorities of budget and resources.  Note: dating all the way back to April.  Go Chevy Volts instead of keeping our diplomats safe and sound.

But for a president who says he gets INTELLIGENCE BRIEFINGS every single day -- or at least, reads them -- "the intelligence" under sworn testimony pointed to a TERRORIST attack within about 24 hours.  I would think this point would have been mentioned, in writing even,  in said INTELLIGENCE BRIEFINGS, don't ya think?

So -- you would think -- connecting all the dots now -- that the president's narrative would have been more measured on the whole video thing.... with more emphasis on the terrorist attack thing..... with his actions moving with stern diplomatic intention, accordingly.  [and maybe even cancel a few campaign speeches in the immediate aftermath...]

IF the little lowly intelligence peons, the "security professionals,"  realized we were dealing with a terrorist attack, why the nonsense?   Regardless --

"In a briefing to Capitol Hill staffers delivered the day after the deadly Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the killings appeared to be the result of a terrorist attack.

Under Secretary of State for Management Patrick F. Kennedy -- who exercises responsibility for all department personnel, facilities, and operations, and who is one of the department's most respected civil servants, having served in his position under both the George W. Bush and Obama administrations -- delivered the assessment in an unclassified, half-hour conference call with staff aides to House and Senate lawmakers from relevant committees, and leadership offices, on the evening of Sept. 12. Capitol Hill sources described the call to Fox News."

"Fox News and other news organizations have previously reported that earlier on Sept. 12 -- within 24 hours of learning about the murders -- the Obama administration made a secret determination that Benghazi was indeed a terrorist attack.  Doing so enabled them, under the terms of a 2001 anti-terrorism statute, to move men, money and materiel around more freely, and position these assets to meet the threats in Libya and other parts of the Mideast that had recently seen attacks on U.S. installations.  Kennedy's assessment accorded with that determination."

You know that thing that happens when you tell a lie...and you have to keep telling a lie, perhaps pose an even bigger lie, and a bigger lie --

In ANY EVENT,  the president did not have to blame a stupid video for two weeks making him look like an idiot, then.  He didn't have to go there.  Remember now, he was still squawking about "the video" and tying it to the American deaths in Libya at the United Nations -- on September 25th!

Does this administration really think we are that stupid?

Does this administration really think the real intelligence isn't going to be brought to light, eventually?

The continuing evolution of this lie is simply ridiculous.

Okay -- so the administration IGNORED the threats and attacks in Libya leading up to the ambassador's death, along with three other Americans [FOR MONTHS we are told].  Is that news any better to hear?  Hello, Mr. I read my Intelligence Briefings, like, everyday -- that's gotta be enough....

The nose grows.

Okay -- so Obama and Biden were not included in security briefings?  They didn't know that there were issues apparently -- and that little tidbit is from the horse's mouth and according to the vice president right up front in the middle of a debate.

The nose grows.

Yet today, we find out from  Hillary, that only low level "security professionals" were dealing with this sort of thing....If Bush/Cheney had even insinuated something to that effect, there would have been hell to pay -- would not every American be alarmed and outraged?

Okay -- so Hillary is taking full responsibility for outrageous security breaches and leaving the Libyan ambassador vulnerable to attacks?  Really now?  really?  well then she should be asked to resign, right?

The nose grows.

Okay -- so considering the attacks in Libya were accomplished using our state-of-the-art weaponry -- is this just 'same verse same as the first' -- only bigger -- in tandem with another big mistake called "Fast & Furious"?  Is that what they are about to fess up to, I mean, reveal?  We gave the Libyan rebels weapons to fight the bad guys -- to become liberated and fan the Arab Spring -- and then we turn over the consulate guard to "Libyan insiders" [and who's idea was that?] -- and then --  lo and behold, they turn on us, using our state-of-the-art weaponry  against us [including that which was handily given to them freely or simply taken right out from under our noses]?  

The nose grows.

can you tell?  g is a wee bit upset...I can't even stop to breathe right now.

wow.
so let's keep the good news coming..

The web was ablaze with stories immediately following the attack in Benghazi.  Even as late as September 21st, "AllahPundit" from Hot Air made enormous leaps of intelligence connections.  See here.

What does this do?  It outlines proper CONTEXT -- albeit from someone outside the "security professional" domain -- but my goodness, this kind of "intelligence" at this point is simply everywhere.    AND this is four days before Obama is speaking before the U.N.

Okay -- so Hillary is covering for Obama the day before the biggest night of his life. Co-in-kee-dink?  I think not.

The nose grows.

But at the risk of beating a dead horse -- at what point would the president and vice president receive bonafide "intelligence briefings" outlining a need for concern?  Where is that red line?  What else were in the intelligence briefings that day?  And when I say that day -- pick one -- 9/12, or 9/16 [the day UN Ambassador Susan Rice and other puppets were on TV], 9/21, 9/25.... 10/11...Has he read the one for today...yeah, yeah, that's a good question; what's it say for 10/16/12?

“There were six better stories."  according to the NY Times -- and likewise, according to THIS administration.  More to the point: a planned terrorist attack just didn't fit the narrative...

He's said it before -- and I'll say it again -- it's always about telling a better story to the American people.

As the nose grows... 

The nose knows...  we smell something that stinks to high heaven.

But no matter, new subject and more story.

Here's the  opening paragraph on the official White House biography page on President George W. Bush:

"The airborne terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the thwarted flight against the White House of Capitol on September 11, 2001, in which nearly 3,000 Americans were killed, transformed George W. Bush into a wartime president. The attacks put on hold many of Bush’s hopes and plans, and Bush’s father, George Bush, the 41^st president, declared that his son “faced the greatest challenge of any president since Abraham Lincoln.”

Now here's Obama's opening paragraph:

"Barack H. Obama is the 44th President of the United States.
His story is the American story — values from the heartland, a middle-class upbringing in a strong family, hard work and education as the means of getting ahead, and the conviction that a life so blessed should be lived in service to others."

You have got to be kidding me -- "values from the heartland, a middle-class upbringing in a strong family, hard work and education as the means of getting ahead, and the conviction that a life so blessed should be lived in service to others."   Wouldn't it be more like a broken family, living on an island -- and if not there, Indonesia, on foreign turf?  But sure... having rather angelically transcended a seemingly conflicted childhood:

• being of mixed race (hating his whiteness), 
• being of mixed religion (having Christian, Black Liberation, and  Muslim influences), 
• being of mixed ideology (wanting to believe in self-reliance, and yet betrothed to wealth re-distribution),
• being raised by grandparents, as all three of his parents failed him miserably.

Sure, this notion of "values of the heartland, middle-class upbringing" is exactly what I would have come up with to describe Obama's family roots.

And this just in -- no, wait, it's old news, but what does that matter, right?  Anyway, it's just a post documenting the actions of our handsome, intelligent, super-smart and super-cute Editor-in-Chief
standing in as president.

oh...ya get it now?   

The thing is, radicals make their own rules and make up stories all the time; it's what they do; it's all they know.   Don't y'all know that by now?

Can't wait for tonight's debate.

Make it a Good Day, G

Dear America,

Where do we begin and how do we begin again, I ask myself.

Where I live, it is the Day After OPENING Day of the Races, in Del Mar. It is one of those local traditions that brings the seasonal influx of big hats and high balls, arriving as Bing Crosby sings by train or by car-- limo or beemer-- and away they go with a day of heavy drinking, gambling and the like. I really don't wanna sound cynical during these trying times, but it is a wonder when pondering the state of America and all of it's ills, worries and confusion how merriment still reigns a very high priority.

Of course, it is also the Day After the Presidential primetime address regarding the state of our healthcare system and his valiant push by our President Obama to "make it so", even if it rushes to harm us in the end. While just the idea of the Day After brings a sense of melancholy, as if to say that the party is over, time to heal the hangover, pop a pill and sleep it all off.

It is the day after something big, something planned, and that something is now over...it merely remains the Day After.

I find such irony in realizing that here we are in the country who created the very idea of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" that we have grown into such a wayward, mental state as a people. We are lost individually and collectively living in one serious hangover; and the only way to transcend this downward trend is to go back to the time before.

A time when our founding fathers and philosphers and renaissance men and society were all speaking the same language. A language that united us in thought and in word to do our personal best. It was a time that called for individual responsibility to rise up and create a life of happiness on our own. A time when you had no choice but to create that life because big daddy nanny state wasn't going to do it for you, and moreover, we didn't want them to!

How can it be okay to let the government simply takeover our lives; and to be sure, it would seem by the prevailing attitude a hostile takeover at that. Are we giving birth to people so weak and blind to the trappings of big government, or are we just spellbound by the very idea that maybe this time big government will be different. Perhaps we are no longer the greatest generation; perhaps handouts and subsidies and taxes are the answer to our prayers.

Wake Up you people! Socialism has many ills, wrecks societies and has never been a system of government that allows for the full freedoms and liberty of it's people. It never has worked and it never will and heaven forbid, do not let a really cool President tell you otherwise!

Our power to choose everything, good or bad, not only dictates our individual life each and every day, but as a whole in our present day has the ill-fated power to create a society of puppets!

I say today, NO thank you.

We have the power to create responsible, accountable citizens who revel in the very thought of our freedoms to raise a family, grow a business, acquire wealth and prosper in every possible way. Government is not needed for that! Stop, think, grow rich and look at how we are just turning over, as if playing dead, to the powers that be through taxation, through excess, through mismanagement, through loss of control, through waste, through affairs on the taxpayer dime, through corruption, through lobby, through not in my back yard, through just sleeping it off like the Day After hoping we will just wake up and have it all better tomorrow.

The only pill for this Day After is a hard pill to swallow. That's it. Mary Poppins is not here to put a little sugar on it. It will take each of us, individually and collectively to wake up and place our goverment back in the hands of the people.

We must recognize that this power and strength is within ourselves all along; our outer world will only change when we align ourself to the qualities that will sustain the individual to rise up and be strong all by one's self. Then collectively, we will live all of our days in the land of the free and the brave and even look forward to the Day After, and the day after that, and the day after that, and ...

Make it a good day, G
