Will America care…
…about this? And if not, why not? Egregious, outrageous, disturbing. And if Americans don’t care, we’re in even bigger trouble than I thought we were. [ADDENDUM: Much more here. Please read.]

Benghazi: what did Obama know…
…and when did he know it? And what did he do (or not do) about it? Or shall we play battleship snark instead?
Continue reading →Bringing them to justice
Apparently the wheels of justice grind slow: Witnesses and the authorities have called Ahmed Abu Khattala one of the ringleaders of the Sept. 11 attack on the American diplomatic mission [in Benghazi]. But just days after President Obama reasserted his … Continue reading →
Obama’s “optimal” remark…
…was most definitely not optimal. And yet that sort of gaffe isn’t the sort of thing that especially interests me (your mileage may differ). Everyone already ought to be aware that he’s got a cold attitude, and that he’s made … Continue reading →
And you know what we forgot…
…amidst the brouhaha about whether Obama called the Benghazi attack an “act of terror” in his Rose Garden speech, and whether Candy Crowley overstepped, and all that jazz? We forgot that Obama never answered that guy’s question. We forgot—but the … Continue reading →
Candy Crowley’s Big Lie of a “fact-check”
[NOTE: I couldn’t post last night during the debate because I was driving home from New York City and listening to it on the radio. So I’m a bit late to the non-party.] First, the debate: seemingly a draw. But … Continue reading →

I noticed today that Ann Althouse asks a series of questions about why Obama decided to put out such a blatant, easily debunked, lie about Benghazi. Her queries are similar to those I was planning to ask in a post … Continue reading →
It’s all how you look at it
I noticed that Fox News is offering some live coverage of the Benghazi hearings. CNN? So far, crickets chirping (at least when I’ve looked). I know it goes without saying—but if George Bush had presided over a similar incident, even … Continue reading →
And now Reuters…
…joins the crew of media outlets on the left that seems to be willing to report some of the truth about the Benghazi attacks and the administration coverup that has followed. As I’ve written before, something about this incident has … Continue reading →
The Benghazi…
…timeline. Do enough people care? I’ve noticed that the Benghazi debacle has spawned a few articles critical of Obama in papers like the Times and the WaPo. I think their willingness to be a bit hard on Obama over this … Continue reading →
Obama and the Middle East and the Times
The NY Times gently chides Obama on his Middle East policy. For them, that’s the equivalent of a hit piece. Among the nuggets contained in the article, there’s a phone conversation on Feb 1, 2011, in which Obama told Mubarak … Continue reading →
