Secretary of State Annoyed With Benghazi Line of Questioning?

Oh, the difference between Eric Holder testifying on Capitol Hill about his role in the 'Fast and Furious' debacle that saw hundreds of guns enter the pipe line of illegal guns being sold on the US streets from Mexican drug cartel seizures, and today's testimony by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton . While Holder was timid, evasive and subdued Clinton, during one portion of the questioning today on the Benghazi event that killed a US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, decided she'd had enough of the fervent bombardment and line of questioning from the GOP. Clinton confessed that she takes full responsibility for not providing the protection needed in the area on the day of September 11, 2012, the anniversary of the 911 attack here in the U.S. She refuted any claims that the administration gave false Intel into why the American people were told several different versions of exactly what happened during the Benghazi attack. Initially, US Ambass...

US Embassy Bombings: Remembering Those Who Lost Their Lives

As the U.S. gets ready to recognize the horrendous September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, many today are remembering the August 7, 1998 al-Qaida-led terror attacks on the U.S. Embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.  In Tanzania 11 people lost their lives and at least 85 people were wounded. In Kenya 218 people were killed with over 5,000 injured. Four men, believed to be followers of Osama bin Laden, were convicted on May 29, 2001, for their roles in the bombing that included Mohamed Rashed Daoud al-'Owhali, Khalfan Khamis Mohamed, Wadih al-Hage, and Mohamed Sadeek Odeh are all believed to be connected with the bin Laden sponsored terrorist organization also referred to as 'The Base'.  Another five defendants have been in custody, while at least 14 more at large. The men were placed on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists list on Oct. 10, 2001. Said President Obama, marking the ...

Obama Defeats Osama: "We Will Never Tolerate Our Security Being Threatened"

" Justice Has Been Done " President Obama initiated the killing (or attack) of Osama bin Laden, giving direct orders to Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, "to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda." Speaking late last evening just outside the White House East Room (interrupting Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice ending) the president vehemently articulated that, "We will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed." Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy U.S. operatives raided an al Qaeda compound located in Abbottabad, Pakistan where bin Laden was said to have been living in a large home on a secured compound in an affluent suburb of Islamabad. President Obama called the event "historic" and reiterated his predecessor's comment that the war against al Queda that started over a decade a...

Police Arrest Man Near Air Force One

Why is it that with all the evidence on a person, police still want to try some people with only a misdemeanor ?  A misdemeanor? Give me a break. Joseph Sean McVey was arrested at an airport in Asheville, N.C., where President Obama was visiting on Sunday. McVey (different spelling than  the other McVeigh ) reportedly had on his person, a Springfield XD 40 handgun as President Barack Obama's plane prepared to take off, authorities said. McVey was driving an automobile designed to look like a cop car, even having the front and rear dash fitted with clear LED police-style strobe lights, and a digital camera mounted near the front window. The report also showed that McVey had four large antennas attached to the trunk of the vehicle. A working siren box was located under the steering wheel. McVey does not work for law enforcment. McVey also had formulas for rifle scopes on a sticky note in his car's cup holder. Police have yet to decipher the formulas. He...
