Anybody seen Obama’s I-killed-Bin-Laden campaign ad lately?
Looks like this failure has knocked that hairy-chested boast into a cocked hat.

It’s hard for me to imagine that Pat Caddell could be more vituperative in his worthy criticism than Ann Coulter. Hell, apparently, hath no fury greater than a liberal scorned.
This is what we get for throwing out the devil we knew how to control for a even worse militant muslim group. The Obamster admin has to know that and must have desired that outcome.
Remember this is a “bump in the road”.
This bunch is getting away with what appears to be out and out treason.
Watching these videos; following the news reports and new info being presented seemingly hour by hour, I can understand why some otherwise stalwart citizens are calling for the heads of everyone from the President on down.
I pray that I will live long enough to see the day that a future combined leadership of this once proud nation will “grow b-lls the size of billiard balls” (please forgive me if that was inappropriate,) and bring America back to our rightful position as Leader and Policeman to the World!
That last picture is of a roomful of “leaders” all guilty of Treason.
What in the hell is it going to take for the people of this nation to wake up?
Do the bastards WANT a civil war?
I hear the quiver of outrage in Caddell’s voice, and it mirrors my own these past weeks. My mental state having dropped from boiling mad to simmering mad over the Benghazi debacle, I’m beginning to think we ought to apply Occam’s Razor to the situation and put aside conspiracy theories like gun running and hostage swaps.
I recall Moochelle commenting to a reporter a couple of years ago that “Barry wants to save the world, but he’s lazy.” Ninety plus times during his term as Illinois State Senator, he voted present. IMHO, that reflects a shallow, lazy mind, a mind that pretends to be intellectual by acting aloof and above it all, rather than a mind that does the hard work of researching the issue and developing an opinion on the subject, and having the courage to stand by that opinion by voting aye or nay for the record.
His White House schedules, more often than not containing but one appointment in an entire day, mostly after 10:00 am, and his missing most of his daily intel briefings, only confirms to me what Moochelle said. He is lazy and aloof. And then it seems he is out of the office running around on AF One more than he is in the office working.
Hearing the prolific “I…me… my..” ad nauseum in his speeches confirms his high opinion of himself. He is now in a tough fight for reelection, and a man who loves the position but doesn’t like to do the job, who loves himself more than others, who prefers to talk rather than do, will place a high priority on seeing to his own needs.
He is a coward, a narcissist, and lazy.
Uhbama’s presidency is circling the bowl, he needs to campaign more, right now, and the Benghazi event popped up right on the eve of a big bucks campaign swing to Las Vegas and other points.
To me, the Benghazi fiasco is beginning to smell like Uhbama went to get his beauty sleep and rest up for Las Vegas, instead of staying in the Situation Room and seeing the crisis through and ordering a rescue mission. But that would be work, require courage and postpone his own needs.
In Benghazi, after seven hours of running street battles, the Americans still alive surely were thinking “Any minute now, the cavalry will come to the rescue! Just hang on!”
But the cavalry never arrived. So even with a Delta Force Team at Sigonella, nobody was willing or able to cut them loose. Not even some fast jet supersonic flybys from Sigonella, to break windows and eardrums and warn, American airpower is here ragheads, and you know what we can do, but they were never sent, not even one supersonic low-level flyby, just One. Hour. From. Our. Bases. In. Italy. Max.
We have a bunch of military assets in southern Europe, the Med and North Africa. The US military routinely does a lot on its own, under SOPs. The minute they saw (12 command centers were watching this in real time) that the consulate is under attack, it became a TOP priority. Every other mission would abort or be diverted to support any possible rescue.
At the moment when the flash messages started arriving, everybody in our military chain of command shifted into a crisis plan mode. What assets are available? Where are they? Ships? Fighters? Helicopters? Marines? Delta? Get them moving right now. What base is closest? Sigonella. It is a NATO base, no permission needed, just go. En route in C-17s, the Delta guys would be readying for an immediate action rescue mission, the C-17s would fly directly to a desert road outside of Benghazi, and here comes the cavalry, done in haste, adapt, improvise, and act, but they would do it. They practice for these scenarios, and have gear staged for them.
They would coordinate with fighter jets out of Italy, AC-130 gunships, mid-air-refueling, Marines on amphibious ships in the central Med, if any were available, all would be put in motion toward Benghazi. A Tarawa class helo carrier carries a battalion of USMC, SEALs , and helos to carry them all.
The ongoing consulate attack becomes Priority One for all within thousands of miles, the only job.
All of this military activity would have happened/did happen during the seven hour battle at the consulate and annex, but what the military cannot do on their own authority is cross an international border without an order from the POTUS, Uhbama.
Only POTUS can authorize a cross-border hostile mission; that is, weapons hot, with no notice or official permission from the Libyan government.
Only one man can pull that trigger and say, GO! – Uhbama.
No general or admiral will order any American troop ashore or even a low-level supersonic flyby on their own, as much as they might want to. (Remember the Get bin Laden postponements, waiting for Uhbama to approve?) They can not and will not cross a border without a clear-cut order from POTUS. Not even Sec Def or Sec State can make that decision. Only Uhbama.
There was a CIA operator at the CIA annex who painted an al Qaeda mortar crew with a laser target designator, hoping rescue assets would arrive soon. (Some operators have said that the ground guy would not do that unless there was an aircraft on station, which makes the lack of action even more outrageous) Any of the above assets would have turned that mortar crew into hamburger, but the CIA guy waited in vain. That mortar is what killed the two former SEALs.
No order came, from 5pm DC time (11pm Benghazi) until midnight DC time (6:00 am Benghazi), and none would come, because, I believe, the POTUS, Captain Shitstain, quit for the night, punted, said “Fuck it, I need my rest.” and went to bed, to be well rested for Las Vegas.
While his ambassador was missing, and being dragged down a Benghazi street or even being raped, and other Americans were fighting for their lives, Captain Shitstain went to bed.
I think this will be the greatest scandal of Benghazi, even worse than losing four Americans, even worse than all the lying about it. The POTUS slept through it, while around the world, military forces were poised, raring to go on any rescue mission if POTUS ordered them to do.
But the POTUS said, “We’ll discuss it some more in the morning, I’ve got to get some rest”, and went to bed around midnight in DC, 6:00 am in Benghazi, with a missing ambassador and a full-blown crisis in full roar. Remember “getting Osama bin Laden”, where the SEALs were ready to launch and he said “I need to sleep on it. We’ll talk about it some more in the morning”?
He voted present. He went to bed.
God rid us of this pestilence.
I think that’s the big secret the Uhbamunists are hiding. The President went to bed, with his missing ambassador being dragged through streets.
Captain Shitstain went to bed.
Everything Captain Shitstain has ever said or done betrays his utter cowardice and his complete disdain for anything inconvenient to himself, such as the lives of those who serve our nation.
Not only must Captain Shitstain be defeated in this election, he MUST be tried and convicted of crimes small and large, from expense account fraud, to taking kickbacks and bribes, violating bankruptcy law, violating the Constitution, election fraud, campaign finance fraud, conspiracy before and after the fact, accessory to murder, and treason.
I know I’m dreaming, unless we make it happen, somewhere down the road. I don’t care how long it takes. The shoulder shrug practice of allowing politicians to retire to a life of ease without penalty for their crimes while in office MUST cease. If Berlusconi can go to prison for mere tax evasion, this shitstain on the Office of the Presidency, by far and away the worst criminal ever to Occupy the White House, can go away for a long, long time.
If the Seals lasered the mortar site, then they KNEW that someone overhead in something was armed.
The administration is GUILTY of treason.
This was to hide the gun running to various units of Al Qeada.
Prosecute every last one of the bastards.
I’m waiting————I’ve been waiting since this happened– I’ve been waiting since he was elected and my biggest worry was him being the CnC. I’m still waiting!!
Caddell has confused me for a very long time. It’s bewildering when a liberal goes on TV and tells the truth.
Helluva post, there, dick (5); but you left out dereliction of duty.
If what you said are actual facts, then I find little to fault in your verdict.
Thanks Doug.
Is “dereliction of duty” a chargeable offense for a non-uniformed CinC? If so, add it to the list.
The background leading up to Benghazi may be a complicated web, and anything I could say about that would be a SWAG.
Many posts I’ve seen of late make me think a lot of active and retired military who normally stay mum are tossing out enough bits and pieces on the web and to media types to put together the mil side of this debacle, and four years of watching Uhbama with his lack of awareness of what it is to be American, lack of experience, and weak character added to that make it very easy to surmise the Benghazi mess is not very complicated as far as the lack of a rescue effort. During Uhbama’s presidency, many people have pointed to his detachment, coldness, aloofness, and his self interest is plastered all over the air for all to see every day. I really do think we had rescue options, and he was too yellow and self absorbed to act, thinking about *optics* and his reelection.
Offhand, I’d say that dick(nqdwg) (#5) wins the internets!
Latest rumor (repeat: rumor)
DougM (12)
One fellow in my Twitter feed (CA Nat’l Guard O-6) says that Gen. Rodriguez has been talked about for that slot since July, FWIW.
^ No doubt. They’d go with the guy on deck.
Look, I don’t know if that rumor has any merit or not. I’m just droppin’ it in the hopper as “interesting.” Actually, I expect that the reassignments were totally unrelated to Benghazi and so forth. However, I wouldn’t be all that surprised if there was some truth to it, either. 48-hr rule as usual.
^ I wasn’t busting yer chops, sir. Honest. I too found something interesting, and thought I’d add it to the hopper.
And another:

Right below the Gen. Ham article –
The U.S. Navy said Saturday it is replacing the admiral in command [Rear Adm. Charles M. Gaouette] of an aircraft carrier strike group in the Middle East, pending the outcome of an internal investigation into undisclosed allegations of inappropriate judgment.
‘Spose he raised a ruckus when told to sit on his hands?
Something is rotten, and it isn’t in Denmark.
The whole thing is just horrifying. I am absolutely not surprised that the MSM is willing to go to the wall to cover up horrific incompetence or worse on behalf of *their* party, but it’s still revolting. They aren’t just useless, they’re an enemy.
