The Most Important Question About Benghazi

Skirt-chasing and email-romances are silly distractions.

Let's go back to The MOST Important Question About Benghazi:  What happened to the rescue?  (Hint:  the C-in-C deliberately failed to issue the right order.)

Fortunately, this blog is on that like stripe on a skunk--and a skunk it is.

...There are a number of disparate timelines being floated by various sources (I’ve seen most or all of them), and sooner or later the truth will come out. ...

(Quoting a Fox News report):

The Pentagon says that the European-based team of rescuers landed at Sigonella air base at 7:57 p.m. on Sept. 12, more than 20 hours after the attack began and 40 minutes after the last survivor was flown out of Tripoli on a U.S. C-17 transport plane...The group ordered toward Libya was from the Charlie 110 Company, based in Stuttgart, Germany, but had been training in Croatia...

Military sources familiar with the orders given to the CIF team tell Fox News the CIF plane headed to Libya — not to first stage at Sigonella as the Pentagon timeline suggests....

...Multiple defense sources say that the plane did not have permission to enter Libya. That permission would have to be secured from the Libyans by the State Department.

Survivors of the attack at the annex say that they heard over the radio net that night that U.S. military assets were, “feet dry over Libya,” which would refer to assets crossing from sea to land and hovering. The Pentagon denies this.

That last graf corresponds with the testimony of an ex-SF operator who has stated that only the C-in-C can give 'cross border authority' to execute a mission.  In fact, without such an order, any SF action can NOT proceed.

Obama lied.  Four died--not counting Mexican civilians in his Gun Adventure Games.

Reading Coulter Out: It's Overdue

Levin finally lowered the boom on the Blond Screecher.

Fact is Romney has done nothing for conservatism. I repeat, nothing. No leadership. No grassroots efforts. No major policy initiatives. Nothing. Reagan won two landslides. Romney won nothing. Cherry-picking facts Ann, in some strange cult-like obsession, fools no one. Same with your cheerleading for Chris Christie.

In the last couple of years, Coulter lifted her skirts far enough to reveal the Rockefeller tattoo.  And Levin called her on it.

About time.

The "Mo' Money" Game

To contact us Click HERE
Here's how it works.

Gummint folks continually raise taxes and don't have the courage to vote for it. 

Taxpayers push back, take away the money-fountain.

Gummint folks steal money from "trust funds."

Taxpayers push back by dumping the thieves, get themselves NEW Gummint folks.

NEW Gummint folks piss and moan openly that they don't have enough money.

Taxpayers push back.

Gummint folks say "OK.  You don't want to give us mo' money, WE take away your stuff."

In the case at hand, Gummint folk are going to ignore the single-most-trafficked intersection in the entire State of Wisconsin.  Last time (when the thief was ruling) a bridge in that intersection started falling down.

Somehow, the phrase "Spend less elsewhere" never crosses the alleged "minds" of Gummint folks.

Maybe a 2x4 upside the head would help them think?

Gun Control? Hah!!

Seems as though the Usual Suspects have pissed INTO the wind.

The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) reported in a national survey that in 1994, 44 million people, approximately 35% of households, owned 192 million firearms, 65 million of which were handguns. Seventy-four percent of those individuals were reported to own more than one firearm. According to the ATF, by the end of 1996 approximately 242 million firearms were available for sale to or were possessed by civilians in the United States. That total includes roughly 72 million handguns (mostly pistols, revolvers, and derringers), 76 million rifles, and 64 million shotguns. By 2000, the number of firearms had increased to approximately 259 million: 92 million handguns, 92 million rifles, and 75 million shotguns. By 2007, the number of firearms had increased to approximately 294 million: 106 million handguns, 105 million rifles, and 83 million shotguns.  Cong. Research Svc quoted at Sipsey

Then Sipsey delivers the KO quote:

In military affairs, quantity has a quality all its own.

Heh.

NYU-Poly Expands Campus in Brooklyn's MetroTech Center

NEW YORK, NY May 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- In an important step to fulfill NYU's city-wide strategic vision for expansion of its academic facilities, NYU's engineering affiliate, the Polytechnic Institute of New York University (NYU-Poly) (top left center), will expand into neighboring space in Downtown Brooklyn's MetroTech Center. 
The move is part of NYU-Poly's $38 million capital plan, called the i-squared-e Campus Transformation - where the "i-squared-e" stands for invention, innovation and entrepreneurship. 
The expansion into MetroTech will allow NYU-Poly to accommodate faculty offices, dry computational labs, small classrooms, and administrative functions, while freeing up space in current facilities for renovation and potential redevelopment.
"MetroTech Center has a great central commons area," said NYU-Poly President Jerry Hultin (lower right photo).  "Expanding into buildings that flank the commons creates a better presence of NYU-Poly in the square, and imparts a more dynamic, vibrant feel to our campus."
NYU-Poly is entering into a 20-year lease with real estate developer Forest City Ratner Companies for a total of 120,000 rentable square feet of space at 2 MetroTech and 15 MetroTech, which also involves a 9-year sub-lease of space from Wellpoint Insurance.

ObozoCare Regs, Part the First

To contact us Click HERE
The first 330 pages of ObozoCare regs were emitted from the lowest orifice late on Tuesday night.

The first batch of new rules have long-expected provisions forbidding insurers to discriminate against patients who already have diseases such as cancer, asthma or heart disease…. HHS stuck with a proposal that allows insurers to charge the oldest patients three times as much as they charge a 21-year-old. And the rates can go up a little bit with every birthday. But smokers can be charged premiums that are five times higher under the new rules….JunkScience quoting NBC News

The Health Nazis.  Oh, yes, we can go there, and Junk Science provides the documentation:

Welcome to the Socialist miasma!

Austin Ruse reminds us of the dirty Stupid Party secret:

...The fact is also that the GOP and conservative elite had their hat handed to them on Election Day. It was not just Akin and Mourdock who lost. Moderate and establishmentarians lost across the board. Heck, the Establishment pumped hundreds of millions into races where their candidate lost by the same spread as Akin lost to McCaskill. Thompson, Berg, Rehberg, Allen, Mack, and McMahon, all establishmentarians or moderates, all received tons of party or Rove cash, not an Akin among them, all gone, all defeated....

Oh, and Whats-His-Name from Massachusetts lost to Fauxcahontas, too.

Not to mention the Eminently Electable Romney.
