Join Me In Signing Hillary’s Birthday Card

Cankles Has Fallen

Jonah Goldberg painted captivating images in his article this past Saturday at National Review.  He imagines the veteran grifters of Team Clinton:  Lanny Davis “in the middle of a meeting with an African dictator when, suddenly, his assistant hands him a note.”  Upon reading the note, which simply read “Cankles Is Down”, Davis abruptly terminates the meeting declaring, “The Clintons need me.” 

Goldberg then directs us to the banks of a bayou where James Carville, who has caught a catfish, proceeds to devour its entrails in the manner of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Gollum.  His snack is interrupted by a signal flare.  He knows instantly its meaning.  Quickly, he steps into his waiting limousine which speeds him to an MSNBC studio.  Meanwhile the other gutter rat, David Brock, “slinks out of his leather onesie” racing to his command center barking orders, “This is a level-one Alpha scenario.  Cancel all leave.”

Goldberg was, of course, thinking of action movies where grizzled old pros get together one last time to spin furiously as their dowager queen rapidly sinks in the quicksand of scandal.

Goldberg continues to posit, ”For 30 years, Hillary Clinton has been defensive bordering on paranoia (with occasional forays far over the border). For 30 years, Hillary Clinton has responded to every challenge—not just every scandal, but every challenge (like HillaryCare)—by convening huge task forces of loyalists."

We now know that Cankles’ Emailghazi troubles are just beginning as we learn that a State Department whistleblower told The Daily Signal a “boiler-room operation” was set up to hide documents after Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others attached to the CIA complex in Benghazi perished in a hail of gunfire and mortar rounds.

As one commenter noted, this movie will be a “popcorn bonanza.”

UPDATE:  Dvorak News broke the news today that the former Secretary of State used MX Logic, a spam filtering service now owned by McAfee that had full access to all her classified State Department email in unencrypted form.  It could be read, tapped, archived or forwarded to anyone in the world without anyone ever knowing.

Help Was Never Coming

A Special Operations force went from central Europe to Naval Air Station Sigonella in southern Italy, just 480 miles from Benghazi. F-16s and Apache helicopters remained parked and unused at Aviano Air Base in northern Italy. Two Navy destroyers already in the Mediterranean Sea were moved off the coast of Libya on the day of the attack but were never used.

It was organized abandonment.  Shameful.

I hope the ghosts of Ambassador Stevens, the personal representative of the Chicago Messiah, former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty and Information Management Officer Sean Smith who were left to die, haunt him all the days of his sorry, arrogant life.

Someone needs to bring the blood-encrusted machine gun that Woods and Doherty were firing when they were killed by a mortar shell and toss it on the Resolute Desk right in front of this cowardly president.

This Administration Lies To This Day

Of all the lies told by the current regime, those told about the Iranian nuclear weapons program and the savage murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens are among the most shocking and reprehensible.

The Benghazi slaughterhouse is the sickening result of an administration’s failure to heed the pleas and the warnings of ambassador Chris Stevens. Stevens and three other Americans died on September 11, 2012 and the administration lies to this day.

During the Thursday night debate, Vice President Biden threw the intelligence community to the wolves by shifting the blame for Obama’s incompetence and naiveté.

If you think we’re not being played, try this on for size.  Congresswoman Donna Edwards (D-MD), while appearing on CNN said, "It's an evolving security situation. One can expect one thing true in the beginning is different in the end. I think we have to take the politics out of this. What voters care about, they may not care about Benghazi, but they care about Bin Laden."

Ms. Edwards’ impudence is, at once, both ghastly and frightening.  It has been 17 months since the death of bin Laden and despite having pledged not to use his death as a trophy, Obama and his minions continue to trot out his corpse in order to bolster his foreign policy chops and play on Americans’ fear.

If we travel through the Wayback Machine to the 2008 presidential primaries, the Obama team accused the Clinton team of “the politics of fear”.  One of the most effective attack ads Clinton launched was the White House phone ringing at 3 a.m.  The narrator informs the viewer that something is happening in the world and asks “Who do you want answering that phone?”

Benghazi was Obama's 3 a.m. call:

The hour is 5 p.m., Sept. 11, Washington time, and the scene is an Oval Office meeting among President Obama, the secretary of defense, the national security adviser and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi has been under assault for roughly 90 minutes. Some 30 U.S. citizens are at mortal risk. The whereabouts of Ambassador Stevens are unknown.

Was Ambassador Steven’s brutally sodomized, his body dragged through the streets of Benghazi, songs of victory being chanted over his body before being taken to a local hospital?

We may never know the unvarnished truth.  To know with certainty would incense us all.

Barack Obama, meanwhile, was jetting off to Las Vegas for a fundraiser.

The stunning Benghazi fallout is a failure of policy stemming from a flawed president’s flawed worldview and the political needs of an election season.

Completing the circle, according to proprietary reporting from Ed Klein, Bill Clinton is concerned that Barack Obama is about to throw Hillary Clinton under the bus.

On CNBC’s The Kudlow Report, Klein said that President Clinton is reaching out to friends in the legal profession trying to figure out what his wife should do if she’s subpoenaed—called in to testify about events in Libya.

Our four dead Americans had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

Mr. Obama must remember that it was the “machine” that chose him and it is the “machine” that uses him and will throw him away when it is done with him.  Hopefully, November 6, 2012 will hasten that day and he too, will have a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

May the blood on his hands haunt his every waking hour.

UPDATE:  Watch as one of Obama’s propaganda ministers tries to filibuster on the issue of Libya and then is forced to squirm when pressed about the matter.

The White House Disinformation Campaign On Libya

New evidence shows there were security threats in Libya in the months prior to the deadly September 11 attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Despite these threats, the State Department left its personnel there to fend for themselves.

The Muslim Maelstrom: Rage Against America

Obama announces Letterman appearance on the same day he snubbed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Susan Rice, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations for the Obama regime, made the rounds this morning on ABC’s This Week, NBC’s Meet The Press. CBS’s Face The Nation, CNN’s State of the Union and Fox News Sunday.

She repeatedly lied to viewers insisting that the howling, bearded, bloodthirsty cutthroats responsible for the September 11 attack on the consulate in Benghazi that killed four Americans was in response to a 13-minute video trailer on YouTube™.  She described it as “spontaneous”.

On CNN’s State of the Union, Rice argued that the assassination of ambassador Christopher Stevens was not evidence Obama’s policies in the Muslim world have failed.

She said those responsible for the attack represented a tiny pocket of extremism fanned by an anti-Islamic film and that anti-American sentiment was not sweeping Libya nearly a year after it was liberated. “I’ve been to Libya and walked the streets of Benghazi myself,” she said. “The U.S. is extremely popular in Libya,” Rice said.  Yes, we are little Susie, as a target.

Curiously, Mohammed Yussef Magariaf, Libya’s president of the General National Congress flatly contradicted Rice’s assertion saying an investigation “leaves us with no doubt” the attack was not spontaneous.

“It was planned, definitely, it was planned by foreigners, by people who entered the country a few months ago, and they were planning this criminal act since their arrival,” Magariaf told CBS.

Let me state for the record that I am no foreign policy wonk, but I am fully capable of recognizing helplessness when I see it.

For months before the most recent attacks on U.S. embassies in North African states, Foreign Ministry and U.S. State Department officials had been arguing over developments in these countries. Senior figures in Jerusalem claimed that Washington was burying its head in the sand and ignoring the increasing radicalization in states such as Tunisia and Egypt.

CNN reports that a member of the February 17^th Brigade as well as a battalion commander met with American diplomats three days before the murderous attacks to warn them about “deteriorating security” saying, “The situation is frightening, it scares us.

Our State Department and the Defense Department had done nothing meaningful to protect the ambassador. When the killers attacked the US compound, they were heavily armed with anti-aircraft automatic cannon and RPG's. They were a recognizably violent group connected with al Qaeda.

And now the main building in the consulate stands in charred ruins and the remains of our fallen ambassador have come home in a box.  Shameful.  Simply shameful.

The dangerous ineptitude of U.S. foreign policy has been fully exposed.  The State Department told reporters Friday afternoon that it won't answer any more questions about the Sept. 11 attack on the consulate in Benghazi that killed four Americans until the investigation into the incident is complete.

The reluctance of US officials to give details about the Libya probe betrays their determination to track down those who killed Stevens, the first American envoy killed in the line of duty since 1979.

I will close this post by citing the thoughts of Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center and a New York writer focusing on radical Islam. He is completing a book on the international challenges America faces in the 21st century.

“The blood of free men goes on dripping into the sewers of Kabul or Baghdad and a hundred other places and the Jihad hums along. Slowly and deliberately we learn to censor ourselves, adopting the habits of the Dhimmi, kowtowing to our masters, praising their learning, their wisdom and above all their mercy. If they have gone a day without killing us, does it not show what a peaceful people they are?”

“Without going through the formalities of reciting the Shahada or donning the Burqa, we are becoming slaves. Our leaders have sold our rights to pay the blood price; our cultural elites are eagerly teaching us the habits and mindset of slavery. To always obey, to never question and to know that our Muslim masters are always right. If they kill us, then we have done something to deserve it. If they fly planes into our buildings, it is time for some soul searching. If they go mad and kill, that is an expression of the pain and suffering that we have made them feel.”

“We apologize not because we have done anything wrong, but because they are angry. And every time they are angry, we know that we have done something wrong. Like dogs, our leaders develop the moral reflex of a newspaper across the nose, accepting that they are guilty when Muslims carry out violence. The worse the violence, the more they apologize.”

Tantrums Of Mayhem

Protests over an anti-Islam film refuses to wane. Cairo's security forces clash with rioters outside US embassy, 14 injured; in Yemen, mob raids US embassy in Sanaa.

Daniel Greenfield brilliantly reminds us:

“We came to help the Somalis only to die at their hands and not satisfied with that, we admitted record numbers of them to the United States, where they have tried to carry out their own local versions of Black Hawk Down, including the attempted bombing of the Portland Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony. We came to help the Afghanis and Iraqis and the Libyans and they kill us here and there and we learn nothing from the experience." 

“On September 11, the latest such date, our great victory in Libya began turning to ashes because the brave Libyan people we came to liberate bravely stormed our consulate and set it on fire, and then the even braver Libyan security forces tipped off the brave Libyan people where the safe house where the staff was evacuated to was located and more of the brave Libyan people showed up determined to kill some Americans.”

“Government officials are busy telling us that the mobs in Benghazi and Cairo represented only a tiny fraction of a small percentage of an extreme minority of the population and their actions are in no way representative of the brave Egyptian and Libyan peoples who love us a great deal and would happily chase after us and pose for photos with our corpses if it wasn't for the trouble they have getting American visas.”

Will our stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure of a president pull a “Bill Clinton” and launch a few cruise missiles to bomb a few tents in the desert in retaliation and claim that the crisis is abated?

The timing of the unrest in the Middle East and the savage murder of our ambassador in Benghazi is detrimental to the West Wing.  It is curious that the corporate-controlled central planning stenographers laid in wait to ambush Obama’s challenger for the White House and that the errand boy sent by grocery clerks took shots at Romney for his criticism of the handling of the savages waging a renewed war with America.

Is it wrong for Romney to say, “I think it’s a terrible course for America to stand in apology for our values.”

A revolting example of the Left’s twisted ideology is seen in a Huffington Post blogger’s tweet on Wednesday after it was reported that Ambassador Stevens was barbarically murdered by Islamists in Benghazi:

100s of 1,000s of Arabs & Muslims slaughtered by American troops. Tell me again why I should care about whatshisname-plus-three?

Again, I refer to the sentiments of Daniel Greenfield who harnesses his righteous fury so articulately:

“When the Prophet-Criers climb our walls and murder us, we apologize for having offended their religious feelings. The same religious feelings that took down the World Trade Center as part of a murderous crusade going back over a thousand years. They kill us and we elect a man with a Muslim background to tour the world and explain to all the angry Muslims that we're really very nice people once you get to know us." 

“If they want to be ruled by Muslim governments under Islamic law, we'll give that to them. If they want a billion dollars, we'll send it to them. If they want us to apologize for having free speech, we'll do that too.”

One. Word. Outrageous.
