When Libya erupted in *rebel* turmoil we were following the details closely because we quickly identified the ideology of the “rebels” as al-Qaeda.   
Over time the entire civil war became a conflict of Justice Minister Mustafa Abdel Jalil (the first defector and self proclaimed head of the rebels) vs. Kaddaffi. 

If it were not for Samantha Power, Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton Kaddaffi would have won the internal war.    The misguided premise of R2P (Responsibility to Protect), a specific Samantha Power construct, is the excuse that was eventually used by the Obama administration to enter the foray and pick a side.  They chose the al-Qaeda “rebels”.
This commission report essentially encapsulates what we have previously outlined.   However, for some reason they totally avoid the mention of Justice Abdel Jalil.
BENGHAZI GATE – The Citizens Commission on Benghazi, a self-selected group of former top military officers, CIA insiders and think-tankers, declared Tuesday in Washington that a seven-month review of the deadly 2012 terrorist attack has determined that it could have been prevented – if the U.S. hadn’t been helping to arm al-Qaeda militias throughout Libya a year earlier.
‘The United States switched sides in the war on terror with what we did in Libya, knowingly facilitating the provision of weapons to known al-Qaeda militias and figures,’ Clare Lopez, a member of the commission and a former CIA officer, told MailOnline.
She blamed the Obama administration for failing to stop half of a $1 billion United Arab Emirates arms shipment from reaching al-Qaeda-linked militants. (more…)

The U.S. Media is so slanted to a love affair with progressives, it’s beyond ridiculous….

(Newsbusters)  According to the liberal network journalists, being part of a Democratic family makes you “royalty.” Reporters on ABC, CBS and NBC gushed over the announcement that Chelsea Clinton is pregnant. Good Morning America’s Bianna Golodryga enthused:

“Move over, Prince George, though. This morning, Americans have their own royal, or, rather, presidential baby, to look forward to.”

You do know that both Democrat and Establishment Republicans are going to force you to accept amnesty – right ?  On the Moonbat side of the aisle it’s all about pajamas  and fee-fee’s.   On the Decepticon side of the aisle it’s all about the U.S. Chamber of Commerce demands.

Regardless of the majority view of Americans on the issue, representatives from both parties are going to force Comprehensive Immigration Reform into this pre-election cycle construct.   
Unless and until you accept your compliance is not an option, you will continue to be surrounded by stories of torn families, desperate hunger strikes, and dire warnings about the earth’s dying baby panda population.   Just because your selfish self is destroying universal fun life and you don’t care about the innocent victims.

By presidential proclamation, tomorrow is National Equal Pay Day. In a speech, Pres Obama will announce new exec actions to close pay gap.

— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) April 7, 2014

Everything they do is consistently about the next “get”.   Democrats plan to run Hillary 2016 so everything now is about setting up the “sexist narrative” for her campaign next year.

WASHINGTON DC – At the White House Tuesday, President Barack Obama will sign two new executive actions on equal pay as Senate Democrats move for a show-vote on the Paycheck Fairness Act — launching Democrats’ first large-scale coordinated message effort ahead of this year’s midterms.
One of the new executive orders on Tuesday, Equal Pay Day, will prohibit federal contractors from retaliating against workers who discuss their salaries — a move one White House official called “a critical tool to encourage pay transparency.” (more…)

SUMMARY of RESPONSE:  “It was George Bush’s fault.  We accomplished something.  Don’t forget to buy my book”.

Later in the program Hillary calls America “sexist”:  Addressing hundreds of women, Clinton said there’s a double-standard for how women are treated in the media and that she counsels young women to be resilient when they face challenges. “Believe me, this is hard-won advice,” Clinton said to laughter.  (link)
 

When you combine the dots of testimony and information, and pull back from the pixels, a clear image begins to emerge.   The character visible in the image is actually the artist, Denis McDonough....   Here’s the High-Def Version:

WASHINGTON – The CIA’s former deputy director disclosed Wednesday that Obama administration officials were alerted the day before they went on national television that a key tenet of their original Benghazi storyline might be inaccurate. But he did not explain why the administration continued to cling to its narrative even after U.S. intelligence debunked reports that the deadly attack was born out of a protest over an anti-Islam video.
In often testy exchanges with Republicans who accused him of a cover-up, Michael Morell flatly denied that he “inappropriately altered and influenced” the infamous Benghazi talking points to downplay the role of terrorism in the attacks. (more…)

*tap*tap*tap,… *ahem*… Not to be all Captain Obvious, but what was the CIA Benghazi mission about again ?

The dots are all brutally obvious.   Team Putin (Iran/Russia) squishing Team Bam-Bam in EU and Syria.   In retort, Team Bam-Bam (Saudi Arabia/USA) poke eye of Assad.   Bam-Bam’s BFF Erdogan (Turkey) openly planning false flag operation against Assad.  …. and Who was Ambassador Stephens meeting with on 9/11/12 ?   Uh huh. 

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — (<– Huffington Post ) The Obama administration is considering allowing shipments of new air defense systems to Syrian rebels, a U.S. official said Friday.
President Barack Obama’s possible shift would likely be welcomed by Saudi Arabia, which has been pressing the White House to allow the man-portable air-defense systems, known as “manpads,” into Syria. Obama arrived in Saudi Arabia on Friday evening for meetings with King Abdullah.
Allowing manpads to be delivered to Syrian rebels would mark a shift in strategy for the U.S., which until this point has limited its lethal assistance to small weapons and ammunition, as well as humanitarian aid. The U.S. has been grappling for ways to boost the rebels, who have lost ground in recent months, allowing Syrian President Bashar Assad to regain a tighter grip on the war-torn nation. (more…)

The best reason Democrats can come up with to vote for a Democrat retread is that she would be the “first woman President”.

Voting for a person because of their gender is just as sexist as not voting for a person because of their gender.   But I digress…

(Via Daily Caller)  If Hillary Clinton runs for president in 2016 her top selling point will be —  not her experience, not her competency, or intelligence — the fact that if she  would be the first U.S. president with ovaries.
A new Gallup poll released Friday found that when asked what  the best or most positive thing about a Hillary Clinton presidency would be, 18  percent cited the fact that she would be the first woman president. The second  most popular answer, at nine percent, was her experience, specifically her  foreign policy experience.
Other positives, that netted at least five percent of respondents, were that  she would be the best choice, that she would be a change from the Bush and Obama  administrations and that she would stick to a Democratic agenda. (more…)

(UK Independent) The Libyan former prime minister Ali Zeidan fled last week after parliament voted him out of office.
A North Korean-flagged oil tanker, the Morning Glory, illegally picked up a cargo of crude from rebels in the east of the country and sailed safely away, despite a government minister’s threat that the vessel would be “turned into a pile of metal” if it left port: the Libyan navy blamed rough weather for its failure to stop the ship. Militias based in Misrata, western Libya, notorious for their violence and independence, have launched an offensive against the eastern rebels in what could be the opening shots in a civil war between western and eastern Libya.
Without a central government with any real power, Libya is falling apart. And this is happening almost three years after 19 March 2011 when the French air force stopped Mu’ammer Gaddafi’s counter-offensive to crush the uprising in Benghazi. Months later, his burnt-out tanks still lay by the road to the city. (more…)
