You will never win a popularity contest against Santa claus

 

Which is slightly ironic, given that Santa Claus has a more extensive domestic surveillance program than the NSA, but no one cares.

Does this mean someone said no ?

"I just tried you on the phone but you were all in with S [apparent reference to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton], reads the email, from Panetta's chief of staff Jeremy Bash. After consulting with General Dempsey, General Ham and the Joint Staff, we have identified the forces that could move to Benghazi. They are spinning up as we speak.

 

 

 

from Judicial Watch:

Judicial Watch today released a new Benghazi
from then-Department of Defense Chief of Staff Jeremy Bash to State Department leadership immediately offering “forces that could move to Benghazi” during the terrorist attack on the U.S. Special Mission Compound in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012. In an email sent to top Department of State officials, at 7:19 p.m. ET, only hours after the attack had begun, Bash says,
“we have identified the forces that could move to Benghazi. They are spinning up as we speak.”

 

The Obama administration redacted the details of the military forces available, oddly citing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) exemption that allows the withholding of “
” information.

 

Bash’s email seems to
directly contradict
testimony given by then-Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta before the Senate Armed Services Committee in February 2013. Defending the Obama administration’s lack of military response to the
nearly six-hour-long attack on the U.S. Consulate
in Benghazi,
that “time, distance, the lack of an adequate warning, events that moved very quickly on the ground prevented a more immediate response.”

The timing of the Bash email is particularly significant based upon
, Deputy Chief of Mission of the U.S. embassy in Tripoli at the time of the Benghazi terrorist attack. According to Hicks’ 2013 testimony, a show of force by the U.S. military during the siege could have prevented much of the carnage. Said Hicks, “if we had been able to scramble a fighter or aircraft or two over Benghazi as quickly as possible after the attack commenced, I believe there would not have been a mortar attack on the annex in the morning because I believe the Libyans would have split. They would have been scared to death that we would have gotten a laser on them and killed them.”

 

 

Amazing. And not in a good way.

This is damming and shows how much bull **** many suspected we have been told all along.

 

Absolute garbage. There is no way this woman should ever under any circumstance set foot in the white house again. Ever.

Imagine what kind of person it takes to call off troops to leave your own people for dead, and then lie about the entire thing to the country on TV and directly to the face of the victims' families.

 

 

What an embarrassing mess.

Disgraceful doesn't even begin to describe this.

 

 

 

About the only thing additional you could do to make the situation worse is to laugh about it.

As is typical, the cover-up afterwards is far more damning than the actual error.

 

Nothing is different from what I originally said: it's a failure of command and control, and intelligence. It happens. If it didn't happen, you wouldn't dump so much time and money into C3I, and trying to prevent it from happening. But you don't turn around and pretend it doesn't happen, and blame YouTube!

A TROUBLED CAMPAIGN: Escalation: Hillary contradicts Benghazi families, denies blaming attacks on video at private meeting;

 

Before we circle back to Hillary’s statement on ABC News’ This Week, let’s lay some groundwork first. During her sworn testimony before the Benghazi Select Committee in October, Hillary Clinton was confronted with evidence that she had a clear-eyed understanding of the nature of those attacks within hours of their occurrence. On the night of the attack, she sent an email to her daughter lamenting that several American “officers were killed in Benghazi by an Al Queda-like group.”

 

We know that the lack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attacknot a protest.” That assessment was accurate. It reflected the terrible reality that US officials were able to ascertain “almost immediately,” according to the CIA director at the time. As I wrote last month, “State Department documents [also] confirm this. And Amb. Chris Stevens’ second-in-command testified that the obscure online film was a ‘non event‘ on the ground in Libya.”

 

Yet by the time the murdered Americans’ flag-draped coffins arrived home several days later, the Obama administration was in full-blown election season spin mode, which entailed muddying the waters on whether the deadly raid was, in fact, a premeditated terrorist attack. At the now-infamous Andrews Air Force base ceremony on September 14, 2012, Hillary Clinton told grieving family members that their loved ones had been murdered by a bloodthirsty mob incited by an online anti-Islam video. Four different relatives of three separate victims have publicly shared that recollection, including one who jotted down notes shortly after the meeting:

 

“I gave Hillary a hug and shook her hand. And she said ‘we are going to have the film maker arrested who was responsible for the death of your son,'” recalls Tyrone Woods’ father, reading directly from his written record from that day. Sean Smith’s mother and uncle remember the same thing, as does Glen Doherty’s sister. Now watch Hillary’s performance from this past Sunday. Note how anchor George Stephanopoulos, to his credit, asks a very specific question, preceded by clips of statements from several of the aforementioned family members:

 

Did you tell the families that the attack was about the film? Answer: No. My Townhall colleague Justin Holcomb has addressed her subsequent “fog of war” dissembling, which is belied by the fact that she consistently managed to get it right in private discussions, while peddling a very different tale in public.

 

But let’s ignore that part of her answer for the moment. She was asked a direct question: Did she, or did she not, tell those family members that the Internet film was responsible for their loved ones’ deaths? She says she did not. This is a direct contradiction of very explicit memories shared on the record by multiple people who have far less incentive to lie than, say, a truth-challenged politician seeking power. This should be a serious problem for Hillary Clinton.

 

The media spent an enormous amount of time fact-checking Donald Trump’s false claim about watching “thousands” of Muslims dancing in the streets of New Jersey on live television after 9/11. Here we have the presumptive Democratic nominee essentially arguing that Benghazi victims’ relatives are either forgetful simpletons, or liars.
