Ambassador Pickering at 20:14 "We interviewed everybody still alive on the ground who was at the US mission that night.." is met with a ridiculing smile by Issa.

So Obafilth has apparently decided, now that Benghazigate has finally started to catch up with him, that the best course is to keep telling the lies he's been telling from the beginning. He even continues to peddle the lie he told the coward Romney—that he called Benghazi a "terror attack" the day after it happened. How he can say that with a straight face when the whole world knows he was still touting the YouTube video canard weeks later is beyond me. Only in Airhead America. Now we learn that Holder has been spying on the AP and the IRS has been targeting the Tea Party. Wotta surprise.

What's that document that mentions "abuses and usurpations" again? What does it say people should do after a "long chain" of them?

I disagree with Caddell. To compare Obafilth to Nixon is unfair to Nixon. But I couldn't agree more with this:

As much as I have always admired Bob Woodward and admire now him in the sequester fight and for his willingness to take on the White House, I cannot refrain from expressing my disappointment that this man, who did such a service for the country 40 years ago, has essentially taken himself off the boards of the Benghazi fiasco. I wish that if Woodward were to get in a fight, he would do it on an issue that really matters to the safety of the United States.

The Filth committed treason during Benghazigate, about which Woodward is silent. But he's belly-aching because someone from the White House yelled at him??!!

Hillary is concussed and can't testify. Dirty lying bitch.

And The Filth ran away from questions about Benghazigate today. It is still my hope he'll be impeached over this. Dirty lying bastard.

Benghazi: US Foreign Policy & the influence of Sharia Doctrine

Petraeus to testify before congress!

"Several news outlets reported that Petraeus will appear as originally scheduled at closed-door sessions Thursday for the House and Senate intelligence committees. The subject is the deadly attack on the U.S. mission and a CIA base in the Libyan city of Benghazi."

What was she thinking, and with which organ?

Yes. I am still angry at her for sleeping with Branden. Woman's vanity to think that a man 25 years younger could stay attracted to her. She totally ignored human biology. Even Ayn Rand had to answer to the God of Bio-Mechanics.

In any event, this all points to something both you and I agree on: Rand didn't fully come to grips with the animality in man, and that sometimes there was/is indeed a conflict between it and rationality.

Yes again. And that I think is the weak point in Objectivism. I don't think its fatal but I do think it seriously undermines the philosophy. As science continues to show just how extensively biology affects psychology and even values and temperament and everything, if Objectivism ignores this and goes psychological blank slate like it currently does then it could prove a total failure.

There's an interesting twist to this story about Patreus that I just read about. The military used to have camp followers and prostitutes with them. It was an ancient tradition. But since the rise of feminism that has been disallowed because it was "demeaning". Well instead you get bimbos like Broadwell and Kelly. Military men are going to fuck something. But once again biology is being ignored because of corrupt philosophy. Put a subjectively sexy woman (for her age) like Broadwell in the company of high status males and SOMEONE IS GOING TO FUCK HER. I would never have married a woman like Broadwell who is constantly surrounded by high status males. It would be inevitable that she would cheat. Her husband was a fool.

But all this is basic human nature. No matter how much potential reason and free will give us, at root we are still hairless apes. And as such we have millions of years of wiring that just can't be ignored. The Objectivist movement denies this and I hope it doesn't turn out to be its fatal flaw.

...bimbogate.

I wonder if Obama will be dragged into this?

I wouldn't be surprised if it is not found that Obama asked Petraeus to wait until after the election to make his announcement.

No matter what happens I see Obama having a Clintonesque Monica Lewinsky second term.

Even the liberals will stop holding off on Obama shortly. After all the temptation of a good story will be too great given that Obama is not up for re-election again.

The more I read about Patreus the dumber he comes across. After the affair had ended, he sent her something like a hundred e-mails. What was he thinking? And with which head?

It's a bit like Ayn with Nathaniel. What was she thinking, and with which organ? Not that Penistraeus is an Ayn ... though the bimbo is probably as opportunistic and manipulative as Nathan.

In any event, this all points to something both you and I agree on: Rand didn't fully come to grips with the animality in man, and that sometimes there was/is indeed a conflict between it and rationality.

Who ordered those already there to stand down? Why was security not beefed up as repeatedly requested in the preceding months, when there had been two attacks? Who told folk, including Penistraeus, to go forth and bear false witness about the YouTube video? Why did Penistraeus comply (as if we don't know)? Etc.

Follow Diana West's blog. She is about the best in reporting about the Afghan/Iraq wars. She is a one woman army of truth. When I see women like her I almost feel guilty for being a misogynist.

The links above setup the Benghazi affair. We were relying on ex Al Queda forces for embassy protection. Its part of the Filth's "outreach" mindset and his "Arab Spring" worldview (which many Conservatives agree with).

I'm sure West will be all over the latest business with Patreus and the bimbos. The more I read about Patreus the dumber he comes across. After the affair had ended, he sent her something like a hundred e-mails. What was he thinking? And with which head?

... is that Benghazigate will become Flooziegate, and nothing more, because treasonous, cretinous journalists—the vast majority of them—will fixate solely on the sexual peccadilloes. It must not be lost sight of that Obafilth claims to have issued a directive saying that all possible help must be given to those under siege. Where is it? Who ordered those already there to stand down? Why was security not beefed up as repeatedly requested in the preceding months, when there had been two attacks? Who told folk, including Penistraeus, to go forth and bear false witness about the YouTube video? Why did Penistraeus comply (as if we don't know)? Etc.

I remain hopeful that this burgeoning scandal will bring Obafilth down. Such an outcome, however, while satisfying, won't save the USSA. The vastly bigger scandal is that there are enough airheads to vote him in in the first place, and then, notwithstanding the devastation he has wrought, to re-elect him! Truly, the cataclysm that awaits Airhead America is an earned one.

If they are, they're not aiding the impeachment.

"Seriously. Our intelligence chief gave his mistress access to his email account. In a worst case scenario, he gave her his email password — which is a spectacularly bad idea, by the way. More likely, he may have stayed signed into Gmail on a computer she had access to. She read his email and apparently saved or forwarded messages that made her suspicious. Obviously Petraeus did not read my piece on 10 incredibly simple things you can do to protect your privacy. Number 3 would have been especially helpful for him:

"Sign out of Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, etc. when you’re done with your emailing, social networking, tweeting, and other forms of time-wasting. Not only will this slightly reduce the amount of tracking of you as you surf the Web, this prevents someone who later sits down at your computer from loading one of these up and getting snoopy. If you’re using someone else’s or a public computer, this is especially important. Yes, people actually forget to do this, with terrible outcomes."

Department of Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano was roundly mocked last month when she admitted she doesn’t use email. That’s not looking like such a bad idea in light of this incident."

my theory being that Obamullah ordered the stand down

That's the most likely story. He ordered the stand down because he did not want to be exposed aiding Al Queda in their fight to take out Assad. But why did he want to take out Assad? Because today's entire foreign policy establishment believes in "spreading democracy" and assisting the "moderates" against the "dictators". But the reality of the Muslim world is that dictatorship is the only system that will prevent religious and tribal chaos. Why? Because the Muslim world is Muslim and that means they are fucking primitive savages.

But who, Republican or Democrat, would ever admit this? How many Objectivists would admit this? Robert Tracinski will STILL NOT ADMIT THIS. He thinks Bush's foreign policy was "visionary". Fucking idiot.

Obama is an evil fuck, and this incident proves just how evil the man is. (And yet young white girls think he's "cool and sexy"!! Yeah feminism!!!!) But the sad fact is that what motivated his decision to intervene in Syria is the same fucking "spread democracy" shit that EVERYONE in mainstream politics believes in. And why do they believe in it? That same fucking package of altruism and egalitarianism being driven by the legacy of Christian ethics and Kant's Categorical Imperative that is destroying the fucking world.

Really, all this shit makes perfect sense in its own sick way.

His first lies to Congress were a de-briefing, such as it was, in the immediate aftermath. If he appears before them again, it'll be testimony under oath, and repeating the lies would expose him to perjury charges, especially since the whole world now knows his original de-briefing was BS. I think vestiges of honor got the better of him when he was called to testify again, and, by resigning—and citing the affair as the reason—he was telling The Filth in effect to shove it; he would not be blackmailed into telling lies a second time. I'm sure The Filth would have preferred him to stay on and keep touting the YouTube video lies.

Vestiges of honor. Let's hope that he has some left. He went along with the YouTube video crap in the beginning. Hopefully he can make amends. But he would end up being excoriated by the Left and by the entirety of modern liberalism if his testimony ends up getting The Filth impeached. The entire liberal world will hate him. That is a ton of pressure for any one man to bear.

...even in the Guardian yesterday pro-Obama readers were scratching their heads wondering why Petraeus resigned.

Thanks.

I just hope this will be exposed. With a Republican majority in congress I assume it will be properly investigated.

I bet if Romney would have won the election P4 would not have resigned and would have told congress the real story, (my theory being that Obamullah ordered the stand down).

I get this from a Conservative blog:

Petraeus was outed by the FBI, who “stumbled across” evidence of the affair while investigating a computer security problem. Meaning they hacked Petraeus’ email account and read through the archives looking for dirt, which was then used to destroy Petraeus after he and CIA refused to go along with the Benghazi coverup, and to discredit any testimony he might ever give on the matter. No doubt his coterie at CIA have all somehow been likewise neutered. And Holder—who supervises the FBI—will now retire, so that any role he might have played in this will henceforth be a dead letter. Same for Hillary.

Chicago thug style politics. That's why I say that the Democratic Party is a criminal organization. But Leonid takes issue with that because America is still "a country of laws". Good grief.

...already lied to Congress Linz?

Why would he have not lied again, then?

I'm not doubting what you say, I'm just trying to understand it.

It's just someone who can lie to Congress would have few scruples in my opinion.

You are too hopeful.

It is going to be juicy... of course Obamarx will just shrug it all off, the left's messiah can do no wrong!!!
