    It's a fly-by-night web site, linking to a story from another fly-by-night web site. I doubt anyone is taking this story seriously and if they are, that's on them. Having a web site means the check cleared. That's all.

    As NC said, the bottom line is

    1. we did nothing when it was in our power to do so.

    2. They aren't telling us why, or what exactly happened.
    3. And the press will not hold this President accountable for any of it.

    I guess this one the straw that broke the camels back if you will. After years of seeing misinformation in media, this just got to me. IDK. I did forward it to our Public Affairs office. So maybe they can correct it somehow.

    The first place I saw it reported that this wasn't just a riot gone wrong was on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow. It was 3 days after the incident and she killed the White House for it.

    That I understand, but in this instance the public definitely has the right to information, all of it. You can simplify it and say lives were lost as a result of the intended inaction of the government.

    How's it go again, something along the lines of "establish justice, provide for the common defence."

    When the basic foundation for the role of government as outlined by the Constitution is molested, we the people have the right to know why.


    Now, I'm not so naive as to think that we will.

    This situation reminds me of the movie The Patriot Games. Great flick.

    Correction : The movie Clear and Present Danger

    All those Harrison Ford movies sort of run together.

    Oh really?

    First off, I'm talking about the media, not talking head shows. Those are two different animals and if any gets their news from Rush, Maddow, et all they should be stoned to death.

    In any event, here is the transcript from that show ....

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/49061994...-september-th/

    ... And from the start of the show, she blames Bush for Middle East anger ...

    But we start with tonight`s top story and with a decision made in
    March 2003, which is when then-President George W. Bush ordered the U.S.- led invasion of Iraq, March 2003 ... That change in policy under George W. Bush was a source of anger and
    controversy.
    Then, she pleads to her audience to listen to Sec of State Clinton frustration about how folks wont believe that it's a video that sparked this attack.

    Then Maddow follows this up by attacking Paul Ryan.

    Please show me where in any if this she even hints at Obama doing something wrong, let alone "killing" him for it?

    Hey! I get my news from Rush!

    Just kidding, I do listen a lot but he doesn't talk about news but maybe 40% of the time.

    I have a question for you though, you watch Maddow?? How can you stomach that crap for an hour!?!?

    Read "Art of War".

    It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperilled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperilled in every single battle.

    Good point. I've tried watching her, it just drives me crazy.

    I did watch Lawrence O'donnell the other night, he actually had some good points about voting 3rd party and why, mainly in states that are almost certain to go for a certain candidate.

    I didn't see that but I did vote third party this year.

    Mitt is getting Texas regardless so it felt right to vote Gary Johnson.
