The Benghazi files: analysis
2012-10-25
The blogger 'Dedicated Tenther' does an outstanding job, in a 10 part post, of deconstructing what happened in Benghazi: who knew what, what the intel indicated, and who did what.

Superb. A public service, and more to come.

#10  Ship, you causing trouble again?

#9  I believe Mr. Shipman was sarcastically over-exaggerating, a theatrical device I myself am prone to use.

#8  Tonight it seems that the burg is infested with trolls.

Shipman, your statement is logically akin to saying that celery is worse than basketball. Meaningless on its face and any attempt to apply some consistent moral evaluation to the two leads straight under the crazy bridge to where the trolls live.

Begone.

#7  Dresden? I don't follow you Shipman.

#6  Abu Graibe was worse than Dresden.

#5  I'm thinking Benghazi may be more like Iran-Contra than any other recent events.

#4  Don't forget that Abu Graibe, which was far less serious and didn't even involve anyone over the person in charge of the prison, dominated the headlines with 24/7 coverage for 18 months.

#2  The writer certainly does capture things accurately.

The MSM has been apathetic about this story with the exception of Sharyl Attkinson, Fox, and occasionally CNN. Otherwise, the MSM is overly concerned with minutia and trivia such as what Moochelle is wearing, Gloria Allred and possible revelations that might be damning to Romney, how "O" is ahead in the polls and how how he won the debates (despite having a poor showing or in the first instance not showing up), or "O's" next stop on the pop culture fund-raising circuit. The MSM is agenda-driven, carrying water for Obama, not doing their job, lazy, and silly in its focus.

I have a feeling Benghazi is far more ugly than most can imagine if the rocks start getting turned over. By reasonable standards, one would think F & F and Benghazi would bring about charges for high crimes (treason) and misdemeanors. Unfortunately, our standards have changed. Had this occurred during Nixon's time, it would be in the headlines everyday. There would be a steady drumbeat to remove those from office who are responsible and prosecute them. Republicans and Democrats would be calling for justice. Segments of our population have been inured to a tabloid mentality by massive give-aways to buy votes, underlying simmering racial issues, Balkanization of various groups in our country, Clinton sexcapades in the WH, and all the Obama shenanigans such as crony capitalism, voter fraud, F & F, and forcing Obamacare. Where are the voices within the administration who still have integrity and a shred of decency. There is a cancer in our government that needs to be excised. God help our country if those who really know what's going on don't speak up instead of focusing on their careers or the next election. Citizens should demand that with either party whomever is in power.

#1  Barack Obama is a stuttering flustercluck of a miserable tyrant.

The writer has certainly captured the essence of our Champ in the above.
