Travelin’ Music to carry us to the cheatin’ side of town
The first song ever written was a love song. You know, somebody pledging their ever-lasting love and fidelity to somebody else.
The second song ever written was a cheatin’ song, complaining about the lyin’ SOB who wrote the first song.
Given recent events, it’s time to pay homage to the second oldest song topic. I’ve invited the great Miss Kitty Wells to kick off the evening’s festivities, performing a song dedicated to Paula Broadwell and all the other honky-tonk angels out there, wherever you are.

Talking about cheaters – they sure look out for each other:
“”"”"”"”"Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich stopped by Fox & Friends Tuesday morning to promote his new book, but was first asked to share his thoughts on the ever-widening scandal surrounding General David Petraeus and his biographer, Paula Broadwell.
Gingrich said he was taken aback by the “methodical dishonesty” in the months since the September 11 attack on Benghazi. “I think,” he added, “that the administration is still not laid it out and has not been forth coming, which is bad for the whole system. And then second, if you — we can’t come to grips with how much some people hate us. And the fact that Benghazi was a surprise? Give me a break.”
Host Steve Doocy asked Gingrich what he made “of the fact that the with mainstream media has followed the White House’s lead” on the story, maintaining that the President did not know about Petraeus’ situation until after the election.
Gingrich said this was the first time he’s realized that “this has been going on for months,” later adding that he’d been told “by people in the room” that Petraeus had in fact been “the one guy” who said the Benghazi attack was an act of terrorism and not a protest to a video.”"”"”"”"”"”"”"”"”"
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/newt-gingrich-im-shocked-by-the-methodical-dishonesty-since-benghazi-attack/
Yeah – Paula leaked all this to Newt and Fox. No comment about the broad sleeping with Petreaus or having classified information on her computer or trying to influence the election. Calista look out!

And if the youtube video BS didn’t come from our intelligence sources, WHERE DID IT COME FROM? And why? Since the adminstration won’t answer that question, maybe you’ll give us your opinion of who and why. Thanks in advance.

Stands, If they can sell the attack to the people as a response to the video, they can avoid having to tell the people a few weeks before the election that they had a terrorist attack on their watch. In a place we’ve had several other attacks in the past 6 months. In a place where the there had been requests for increased security and it hadn’t been provided. On 9/11.
Personally, I don’t think ANY adminsitration can fully prevent all these terroist attacks. We stop alot of them with our intel sources, but the Cole bombing, WTC 1, WTC 2, embassy bombings, etc. all happened even with all the intel we have. I believe Obama, Bush, and Clinton all did the best they can to prevent them.
I don’t like being lied to. Period. Somebody made up some BS story about youtube video and fed it to us like we’re a bunch of idiots supposed to feel guilty for making an offensive video and deserving of the attack we got as a result. That person has no business being paid by American tax dollars and being in any position of influence in this nation.

“So the cons will not give up on their Benghazi escapade after Petreus himself testified that he stories the GOP, Fox News and his lover put out were false stories about CIA intelligence reports.”
Where and how did you come up with that bit of ignorance? Petreus testified that after the CIA talking points left Langley the CIA reference to a planned terrorist attack on the consulate by Ansar al Sharia a AQ affiliate was deleted. He didn’t know how or by who that reference got deleted nor did anyone from the intelligence community. The best guess is that it was deleted by person or persons in the White House. It has been reported correctly or incorrectly that Rice had access to both the original CIA talking points and the changed document. If that’s true she was nothing but a walking, talking propagandist for the Obama administration knowingly misleading the American people. Time for a special prosecutor.

sfd…from the less enlightened side (once again): Obama’s foreign policy is based on being the anti-Bush. He claims responsibility for killing BinLaden and proclaiming that AlQueada is weak and going away. The events of Benghazi destroyed the narrative and he could not have that right before the election. Knowing that the sycophants in the media had his back. There was no downside to this foolish claim. I know you will not accept this as your worship for all things Liberal is set but it is a valid explanation. Have A Nice Day

You know you’ve arrived in Nuttsville, USA when the conned are holding on to dear life to a conspiracy theory that is NOT a conspiracy nor a theory!! For example:
RB: they can avoid having to tell the people a few weeks before the election that they had a terrorist attack on their watch. In a place we’ve had several other attacks in the past 6 months
The fact that RB is parroting, almost verbatim, the words that come out of Rush LimpBalls azz is darn right scary! RB WHAT other attacks in Libya did WE have over the past 6 months? Please explain!!
Here’s another gem:
Scout: Petreus testified that after the CIA talking points left Langley the CIA reference to a planned terrorist attack on the consulate by Ansar al Sharia a AQ affiliate was deleted. He didn’t know how or by who that reference got deleted nor did anyone from the intelligence community
Do you know what’s so funny about that statement Scout? When the Senator who said it spoke, directly after the hearing to “mainstream media”, he had a different story!! he TWEAKED his story when he stood before Faux News! Thats why I’m soooo glad I live in the 21st Century (I know it bothers you scout); but in this century you can actually FIND the video link of him saying one thing to MSM and a slightly DIFFERENT version to FAux News!!
I know i know, well, WHERE is it DDR? — Give me a few minutes and I’ll pull it up and post it for you. It won’t do any good because you either a) WON’T watch it for fear that knowing the truth may make your head explode; or b) Watch it with the volume turned off.

Suffice it to say that the likelihood of us ever knowing what actually happened is remote..perhaps whenever that freedom of info act kicks in…whenever that is
Everyone, as is the rule rather than exception on this and other similar RED v BLUE forums, is suggesting the reasonable doubt is eliminated for their position based upon “accounts” of what Petreus said behind closed doors..

Allright here’s some bones for the Conned to gnaw on (still searching for the VIDEO link, of the two different tales from King):
Petraeus told lawmakers today that he consistently told Congress that there were terrorist elements involved in the attack, but King said he remembers Petraeus’ Sept. 14 testimony differently.
SIDE– King remembers “differently” because Petraeus’ didn’t tell him what he WANTED to hear……
“I told him… I had a very different recollection of that,” King said.
Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md., didn’t agree with King’s recollection of the Sept. 14 briefing.
Ruppersberger told reporters after the hearing, “My recollection was … [Petraeus said] it was the result of the protest… but he also said in the group there were some extremists and some where al Qaeda affiliates.”
Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., said, “Gen. Petraeus as director of the CIA has been completely consistent.”

Most Americans just aren’t that worked up over what happened in Benghazi. They’re much more concerned about jobs and the economy. Unfortunately Big Business is sitting on it’s profits and has yet to start hiring and producing more jobs. Politicans can’t tell Business what to do about hiring so, Republicans, desperate for anything they can find to hurt the Democrats, keep beating this dead Benghazi horse.
If Republicans can swallow their pride and dogma, maybe they can start to address the real problems that plague us Americans.

He knew “almost immediately” that Ansar al-Sharia, a loosely connected radical Islamist group, was responsible for the attack, as suggested by multiple sources and video from the scene, said the source. At the same time, a stream of intelligence — including about 20 distinct reports — also emerged indicating that a brewing furor over the anti-Islamic video preceded the attack.
The CIA eventually disproved the reports that film-related protests had anything to do with the attack. But this didn’t happen until after Petraeus’ initial briefings to lawmakers, in which he discussed all the possibilities, the source said.

I am opposing a social order in which it is possible for one man who does absolutely nothing that is useful to amass a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars, while millions of men and women who work all the days of their lives secure barely enough for a wretched existence.”

The hand that gives is among the hand that takes. Money has no fatherland, financiers are without patriotism and without decency, their sole object is gain.”

Two points: A) I wasn’t BLAMING capitalism — in the various quotes i selected, I was pointing out its flaws. B) Ever since Citizens United won, everything that Jefferson said is coming true.
When you want to take public money and give it to FOR PROFIT corporations which has only interest in profit and NOT in the needs of the consumer, then you have a problem.
For instance — that house that burned down in Kansas(?) because the firefighters weren’t allowed to to put it out because the home owner didn’t pay some fee. Can you imagine that happening during 9/11? What if those brave firefighters who risked their own lives to save others said to the World Trade Center occupants when they called, “Hey, you guys are behind on your fees — sorry can’t help you; our policy states…….”?

You tend to forget that there was a Pakistani who tweeted things as they were happening. There’s also that helicopter that wasn’t completely destroyed. Whether Obama said anything or not, the story would have gotten out. It’s much better to get out in front of the story and control the narrative as opposed to trying to play catch up to a story that gets out ahead of you.

Indigo, “Big Business is sitting on it’s profits and has yet to start hiring and producing more jobs”
Yea, Indigo, because hiring and producing jobs is what business is there for, right?
Let me axe you a question, Indigo. Why aren’t Democrat owned businesses hiring? In fact, hiring more people than they need just to provide them jobs. In fact, if 51% of the people voted for Obama, why heck aren’t they hiring all these unemployed people? Help us out with that, Indigo.

RB – for grins and giggles I DID google the question, “How many attacks on the US Consulate in Libya since 2011″
You can find my google search here: http://tinyurl.com/bsuo8pf
After searching all 12 pages — i found only ONE. Not the SEVERAL that you mentioned in the past 6 months. It made me think you meant to say in the past several YEARS there were lots of attacks on the Libyan consulate. So I googled that too. Came up short with that one also.
I DID however find this gem:
FACT: There Have Been Numerous Embassy And Consulate Attacks Under Recent Presidents
There Have Been At Least 15 Attacks On U.S. Embassies And Consulates Since 1979 — Including Seven Under George W. Bush. U.S. embassies and consulates were attacked at least 15 times under the presidencies of Carter, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, and George W. Bush. Seven of those attacks occurred during the presidency of George W. Bush. [Media Matters, 9/14/12]
I was shocked!! There were ATTACKS under the sainted DUBYA!?! How was that possible? I mean, i don’t recall seeing you or any of the other regular conned on this blog being upset about it!!
I don’t know RB – I beginning to believe, given the facts of the instances of attacks on US Consulates during the Dubya years, that your outrage, or POUTRAGE, if you will………………..
Is just some feigned bullcrapping BushSh##t that you conned are doing to gin up rage amongst your other conned in an attempt to make yourselves feel better, (sort of like Conned Math where 2+2=19)

Once a again the intelligence gathering that led to Bin Ladin’s whereabouts was a work in progress long before Obama set foot in the Oval Office. Presented with the intel that connected all of the dots any sitting president would have had to green light that operation or commit political suicide by not doing so. An exception of course would have been Joe Biden the guy still a heart beat away from the presidency.

There is, in Libya and other Arab countries, very little difference between crazed street mobs and purposeful terriorists. This is why most Americans aren’t worked up over which of these groups killed four of our people in Benghazi.
Only coldly cynical Republicans and their crazed electorate are still trying to make a big political mountain out of this molehill.

Of course there have been facts reported that is the evidence. Word games won’t get you anywhere. What Bush was saying is that defeating AQ and radical Islam was the priority and in case you haven’t been paying attention the demise of Bin Ladin didn’t prevent 9-11-12 in Benghazi.

Stands, If they can sell the attack to the people as a response to the video, they can avoid having to tell the people a few weeks before the election that they had a terrorist attack on their watch.
This one again? most people don’t salivate like a lab dog at the word “terrorist attack.” It wouldn’t make a dime’s worth of difference to the people who were even slightly inclined to vote for Obama.
But I guess I can understand why some right wingers continue to cling to this bit of absurdity.

And I will once again state–if it the 9/11/12 attack were part of a spontaneous violent Islamic-world-wide outrage over an offensive online video, that would, to me at least, be a damn sight scarier to me, anyway, than a specific gang in Libya committing an opportunistic act of murder in one place. I also believe that the former scenario would, if anything, reflect more poorly on the Obama administration’s diplomatic efforts than the latter.

Stands, you’re probably right. I’m sure the first thing that came to mind in the middle east on 9/11 when a heavily armed group attacked our consulate and killed our ambassador was they were upset about a youtube video. In fact, I can just picture the situation room where they wrestled with the facts… “Mr. President, we beleive it was either a terrorist attack or they were upstet about a youtube video. We’re leaning toward the video at this point.” Geez….
