When it became clear last fall that the CIA’s now discredited Benghazi talking points were flawed, the White House said repeatedly the documents were put together almost entirely by the intelligence community, but White House documents reviewed by Congress suggest a different story. ABC News has obtained 12 different versions of the talking points that [...]

President Barack Obama got ahead of himself and his advisers when he said that Syria using chemical weapons would cross a “red line,” the New York Times reports. “How can we attack another country unless it’s in self-defense and with no Security Council resolution?” an unnamed Obama administration official tells the paper. “If he drops sarin on [...]

(CNSNews.com) – Why, five days after the terror attacks in Benghazi, did U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice insist on five Sunday talk shows that the attack sprang from a protest over an obscure anti-Muslim videotape? Secretary of State Hillary Clinton grew heated while answering that question at Wednesday’s Senate hearing on Benghazi. She said she did [...]

Why is the UN rewarding the Palestinian Authority this time? A very bright fellow, a dear friend of mine, asked me in synagogue the other week: “Why do the Palestinians shoot rockets at Israel if they know they will get blasted in return by far greater firepower?” “This is their fundraising season,” I replied. “The [...]

Republican legislators are openly incredulous about the latest twist in the Obama administration’s evolving explanation of its response to the Sept. 11 Benghazi terror attack. CBS News reported Nov. 20 that the office of James Clapper, the politically appointed Director of National Intelligence, edited the talking points before they were passed to political appointees.

After Bill Clinton delivered his electrifying speech at the Democratic National Convention, many political observers concluded that the Clintons and Obamas had called a truce to their long-running feud. Under their armistice, Clinton agreed to make speeches and appear in TV commercials for Obama, acting like a booster rocket for the Democratic ticket in the [...]

It looks a lot to me as though the professional State Department lifers are bailing out on their political appointee bosses Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton, hanging them out to dry in advance of today’s hearings on the Benghazi 9/11 attack. Bradley Klapper of AP noted that these officials on a conference call to media [...]

  It’s not going to do much good, but at least the record has been made. Former Carter pollster Pat Caddell: “First of all, we’ve had 9 days of lies…If a president of either party…had had a terrorist incident and gotten on an airplane [after remarks] and flown off to a fundraiser in Las Vegas, [...]

It is astounding that what really happened in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012 has been so thoroughly buried by the mainstream media. In an article from Reuters dated September 12, 2012, Alastair MacDonald reported that “U.S. troops dispatched by helicopter across the Libyan desert to rescue Ambassador Chris Stevens and other diplomats in Benghazi [...]

Obama’s defenders insist he has a Nixonian command of foreign policy. I commented here recently on a startling fact of presidential incompetence, provided courtesy of the investigative work of an excellent new group called the Government Accountability Institute. The group reported a jaw-dropper: President Barack Obama didn’t attend a single daily intelligence briefing in the [...]
