Crickets

I'm quite curious these days as to why many on the Right are so quiet on the whole Patraeus affair, especially since it has now spilled over into other areas of the Defense Department. Even more puzzling is how they continue to focus the blame on the president when we are now finding out that there was obviously something really off between the CIA, the DOD and the State Department in terms of Benghazi and David Patraeus.

Is the Defense Department such a sacred cow that any improprieties can be conveniently ignored? Patraeus?

I never thought I'd link a Brietbart article on this site but when the source of much of their Benghazi meltdown is the woman who brought down the Director of the CIA, I guess I don't really have a choice. 

This article reveals a very key point that throws a giant wet blanket on the cover up wank fest going on with the Right. If the attackers were trying to get into some sort of CIA secret holding facility, wouldn't it make sense to keep this issue quiet because of national security? After all, the Right continually reminds us how people like Julian Assange and his commie buddies are traitors. So, why is it now OK and absolutely necessary to find everything out about Benghazi?

Oh, yeah...so they can win the argument and prove the president wrong.

President is responsible for the DOD, CIA, and State and all of them have his cronies at the top. Nobody is quiet about it that I see as it is dominating twitter and pretty much every blog.

The Buck used to stop at the president, now it stops if "the right" doesn't talk about it on blogs.

Anyhoo, all is well out east, more big govt to take care of everything, the one time photo-op response was terrific,

"Just three hours ago I was speaking with seniors for whom I was the first person they talked to since the storm," Moed says. "I asked someone if I could use their bathroom and they told me they were going in a bucket. It was a 70-80 year-old woman"

"Moed also describes meeting children who had gone several days without food, and a mother who ran out of her asthma medication.

Whatever response there has been from the government -- city, state, or federal -- or the Red Cross, Moed says their presence in and around the Coney Island projects is non-existent, inadequate, or counterproductive. FEMA has set up a solitary aid trailer on what Moed calls the "sexy area" of Coney Island -- near the famous amusement park and Nathan's -- which was not hit very hard. It awaits people seeking help, when those who most need it are stranded in high-rise buildings a few blocks away.

Moed insists that he does not assume anything about the government and Red Cross's lack of a response, but says their absence is indisputable. "They're literally not there. It's not a criticism, it's literally a fact," he said. "I've been on the ground here for four days. I've seen zero FEMA people. Occasionally a Red Cross truck will come through with hot meals. But there'll be one truck for 15-20 buildings."

Sounds AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Maybe you should ask that last question to the families of those who died.

One thing that is fact - it wasn't just a reaction to a video.

Since when did Sen. Feinstein become part of the Right? She certainly has questions about this.

So, last, are you trying to say that the administration's response is just as bad as Bush's?

Of course, since you don't believe in climate change, we can't really go down that path either.

believe in climate change

Well, how rare and refreshing for you to discuss this as you truly see - a matter of belief/faith.
