Hillary Clinton responsible for Benghazi .... Uh huh !

Security failures in the Benghazi terrorist attack tragically left US Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens and 3 others dead. Tonight, Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State, said she accepts personal responsibility for the outcome of the consulate assault.

Horse shit !

What exactly does she "accepts personal responsibility" actually mean? She'll tender her resignation ? Make personal restitution to the families ? Appear before Congress, under oath, and tell the truth about the entire sorry mess about her involvement and of others; especially those now squirming in the White House over the affair ?

Do all those things and I'm a believer .... Yeah, I'll hold my breath.

Travel back to the Waco, Texas siege in 1993 when then Attorney General, Janet Reno also "accepted personal responsibility" for some 10 deaths resulting from an ill-advised, overzealous government use of lethal force. Unbelievably she avoided any political consequence to her career. Since then a string of parroting politicians have performed the masterful and magical incantation "I accept responsibility" for their fuck ups and successfully dodged consequence, too. Hillary Clinton plans to be the latest.

God, how Liberal America loves contrition - sincere and otherwise.

Politicians may be many despicable things but they are quick learners; especially when it comes to their own political survival.

And let's not forget, Hillary is first and foremost a "progressive, liberal" politician - not a career, non-partisan diplomat.

What beats in her heart and toils in her brain is naked ambition and self-interest !

This is nothing more than cold calculation by Clinton and the Obama administration timed just before the 2nd Presidential debate in the belief that the public can focus on only one thing at a time and their hopes an accommodating liberal press will let the debate command the stage and let everything else be swept away from public focus and scrutiny.

Benghazi and a failed worldwide Obama foreign policy - exit stage left !

CAUTION !!! ...... Student Driver Ahead !

Obama's terribly fond of using an automobile as a metaphor for his notions about how the economy took a nosedive and who bears responsibility. 

He sees himself as the driver behind the wheel pulling the economy out of the ditch. And he's not planning on giving the keys back to the GOP either, thank you !

Unfortunately for the rest of us, Obama, who only has his learner's permit, doesn't begin to comprehend he's got the gears stuck in neutral and that he's just spinning the wheels, making a lot of smoke and noise, AND despite his and liberal's protestations, the economy's still stuck in the ditch !

And just what the hell is a student driver doing in charge of the keys for the family car in the first place, anyway ?

When I get to Heaven .....

A prominent Washington politician dies and stands before St. Peter. While awaiting judgment he sees a staggering number of wall clocks; each with a name. His own shows the hands at quarter to 11:00.

The politician asks St. Peter what the clocks are about and St. Peter says, “They’re called “Liar’s Clocks” and each person has one. We use them”, he explains, “to help decide whether a person goes to Hell or Heaven.”.

“How much the hands advance is determined by how frequently you lied and how significant the lies were. That’s Mother Teresa’s clock and the hands have never moved. Yours on the other hand is about typical for a politician.”

Curious, the politician says, “I don’t see Obama’s clock, where’s his?”

“Oh, that one,” says St. Peter, “is in another office.....Jesus is using it as a ceiling fan !!!”.

Liberals have really gotten creative of late, twisting themselves into rhetorical and intellectual pretzels in their efforts to downplay and dismiss Obama’s monumental penchant for deception.

But Obama himself shows what a load of BS their explanations are. The unvarnished truth is and has been - Obama lies by design and for effect !

“I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different stripes project their own views. As such, I am bound to disappoint some, if, not all of them.” – Barack Obama, The Economist interview - Aug 23rd 2008

Yeah, right...of course, it's their fault anyway !!! ... No really, we understand, you couldn’t have ever possibly said anything that would have appealed to, or falsely encouraged their expectations.

Pakistan Drones .... Blood on Obama's hands?

The US drone strike operation in Pakistan is classified. However what is known is that Obama personally reviews targets and authorizes strikes.

The consensus view inside the Washington Beltway Bubble is that using drones to remotely kill terrorists is popular among both Liberals and Conservatives. For Conservatives fewer terrorists are alive with fewer US military lives at risk; for Liberals, it proves Obama is a “strong and decisive” leader. The rationale by extrapolation: outside of Washington everyone else in America is in favor of the policy as well.

But the rest of America doesn’t have access to the information they need to make an informed judgment. The program has classified status and the news media choose not to embarrass the Obama administration by asking probing questions.

When questions do arise about whether or not the drone assassination policy is in fact counterproductive to US national security interests now and in the future, the administration offers only vague responses in return.

White House policy expert John Brennan claims civilian deaths as a result of the drone strikes have been "exceedingly rare". Intimating that the strikes are surgical and only the “bad guys” are getting whacked.

Really…?

We’re talking pounds of explosives packed in a warhead traveling at supersonic velocity and remotely controlled by someone in a darkened cubicle thousands of miles away against groups of people on the ground. Hardly equivalent to the surgical precision of a sniper’s bullet. There must in fact be collateral damage by the choice of the missile weapons platform. But we are to be re-assured and subsequently pacified into believing it is “exceedingly rare”.

Now comes word from Stanford and NYU law schools that only 2% of those killed in drone attacks are high level targets – nearly some 900 other fatalities have been civilians and of those 176 were children.

What’s exceedingly rare is the number of high value terrorists being killed that underpin the justification for using the drones in the first place.

Columbia Law School has also produced a report saying that there is credible evidence that the US is employing a “double tap” tactic in these strikes in which civilians are targeted. After the initial strike when rescuers and emergency personnel respond the US launches a second strike killing those individuals, in the belief, that anyone in proximity must be allied with, if not terrorists, themselves.

It’s important to note that whatever the legality of drone attacks, international law makes a distinction about the targeting and attacking of civilian emergency rescue operations – it’s a “war crime”!

Americans often wonder how it is that much of the rest of the world in conflict areas have come to hate us. This US drone attack policy is perhaps a perfect example - where the US government acts in the name of its citizens and then spends considerable resources to keep what it has done in secret from them; while the rest of the world is fully aware of the truth.

Today and on the Obama watch 74 percent of the population in Pakistan now believes the US is its enemy. Is it any wonder why, when an American President orders the trigger to be pulled thousands of miles away and as collateral damage, Pakistan’s children die?

Does it take any real stretch of the imagination to guess where America’s next wave of terrorism is being incubated today?

I imagine the nominating committee for the Nobel Peace Prize feel like duped assholes….
