Dick Morris was on Fox this a.m. talking about how delicious this is to watch, and he knows the Clinton's very well.

The Clinton political machine is smart, quick, and ruthless. Barry has now made enemies of the clintons AND the spooks. A real bad place to be in DC. Both groups play for keeps.

Yep, the Clintons never liked Obama. Bubba did what he had to do at the Dem convention after calculating it would be easier for Hillary to win an election after Obama's second term than to beat an incumbent Romney. The guy will do almost anything to get back in the White House and the girls. Throwing Hillary under the bus will not work out well for Barry.

Yep. Regardless of who denied requests for additional security (State Department or WH), no one can deny that Obama and all his minions for two weeks were telling the American people a story that was not remotely true. And, at this point, it seems that they made these false statements intentionally.

What is also the case is that requests from the hundreds of diplomatic facilities around the country for security personnel or other related matters are made to the State Department. They are not made to the White House. And that’s just a simple statement of fact.
The President is charged with executing foreign policy. He appoints the Secretary of State as a advisor. The President is ultimately responsible, per Article II of our Constitution, for foreign policy...not a cabinet secretary. The Secretary of State is an advisor to the President, nothing more. Chris Stevens was a surrogate for the President, not Clinton. This is like being a company commander, having a platoon leader screw up and acting oblivious to your responsibility because it would look bad. You own it, get in front of the issue, and bear the brunt of what is coming because you are the leader.

It was Obama's policy of 'no bullets in the magazine' over there, which is what guided Hillary/State in ignoring the requests for more security. Did he tell her outright..."no bullets, no added security"...hell no; he didn't have to, it was an agreed upon basic policy. Bill and Hillary are in a pickle re how to or whether throwing Obama under the bus will pay off. Even though they KNOW Obama will throw them under without a thought. But the Left will hate her if she deserts Obama, and that will forever ruin her political aspirations. Bottom line...if you lay down with dogs...ya wake up with fleas. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving political animal low-lifes. There IS a God! Let's just hope this results in getting this bunch out, before they let the 'shields' down on our homeland, and we end up with another far worse 9/11.

Yep this is the thing. The security mistake is just that, a mistake. Someone can come out and take responsibility below Clinton and live in the good graces of the clinton machine forever. The coverup is the question. Why did the white house lie? If a state dept official is responsible, they should drop the hammer, and move on with accurate info. Are they covering for Hillary? Or if the request was denied in advance like suggested at the hearing. Wouldn't that directive be part of the administration's overall foreign policy? One of the State dept's security personnel said at the congressional hearing that additional security would be denied before the embassy requested it for any reason. This is not the distraction from the economy that Obama wanted.

As soon as the Obama/Biden loss becomes official, the left meltdown will commence. There will be fallout for years to come.

“There was no actionable intelligence regarding the Benghazi facility” that could have been used to prevent the attack, Carney said [Friday], and continued questions about what the administration knew are “an effort here to politicize this, to turn this into an issue in the campaign.”
LINK Wow. Just. . . Wow. It's almost as if Carney is doubling down on Cutter's comments that the only reason this is a story is because Romney is politicizing it. Unbelievable.

Yeah, thats crazy. Theyhad reports and even a letter from Stephens saying it was getting bad, and even a denial of their request for increase security. Also, Lybia was saying the same thing from their intelligence...this is snow-balling.

I think Romney's goal in the next debate is clear now: Force Obama to OWN Carney and Biden's position Make Obama throw the state department under the bus.

My recollection is that was the claim about the Marine Security detail for embassies, you don't think the security in Bengazi was being provided by Marine embassy guards or more marines were requested? Do you?

Only now does Bill Clinton realize how stupid he was to support Obama.

I'd love to see Hillary drop a bomb on Barry a week out from the election.
That would be rich but it won't happen because as much as she hates him, she doesn't want to alienate herself within her own party.

The Clintons won't betray Obama like that. It's more important to all of them for a Democrat to be in the White House. Bill will be campaigning for Obama in Ohio this week. Don't get your hopes up.

I mentioned yesterday that crossing the intel people was nothing compared to crossing the Clintons. Honestly what else did Bill and Hillary expect from obama? He has an history of tossing anyone and everyone under the bus when his arse is on the line.

Did you read the article? Obama is refusing to return Bill Clinton's calls.

The buck never stops in the white house for this administration. I expect Bill will still halfassly campaign for Barry, but I also expect for him to have his "gaffes" like he did before the dem convention. The honeymoon is over. You know a comment like you should never raise taxes on this economy. Hillary will not go down without taking him down with her.
