If your blood is not boiling, you haven't been paying attention.

Foxnews on Libya:
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/26/cia-operators-were-denied-request-for-help-during-benghazi-attack-sources-say/

QuoteFormer Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team who was at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. Consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When he and others heard the shots fired, they informed their higher-ups at the annex to tell them what they were hearing and requested permission to go to the consulate and help out. They were told to "stand down," according to sources familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they were again told to "stand down."

Woods and at least two others ignored those orders and made their way to the Consulate which at that point was on fire. Shots were exchanged. The quick reaction force from the CIA annex evacuated those who remained at the Consulate and Sean Smith, who had been killed in the initial attack. They could not find the ambassador and returned to the CIA annex at about midnight.

At that point, they called again for military support and help because they were taking fire at the CIA safe house, or annex. The request was denied. There were no communications problems at the annex, according those present at the compound. The team was in constant radio contact with their headquarters. In fact, at least one member of the team was on the roof of the annex manning a heavy machine gun when mortars were fired at the CIA compound. The security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up support from a Specter gunship, which is commonly used by U.S. Special Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams on the ground involved in intense firefights. The fighting at the CIA annex went on for more than four hours -- enough time for any planes based in Sigonella Air base, just 480 miles away, to arrive. Fox News has also learned that two separate Tier One Special operations forces were told to wait, among them Delta Force operators.

You know, the theory that this was all about snatching the ambassador so Obama would have cover so he could trade for/release the Blind Sheik, is beginning to look better and better.

So, if you combine this with the fact that Obama is giving the Muslim Brotherhood, who have sworn Jihad against America (see  my source for this at:  http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/09/muslim-brotherhood-praises-jihad-against-us-on-twitter-and-official-website/) $3,200,000,000, we don't have reason for impeachment for TREASON, giving Aid and Comfort to the Enemy???  Impeach the Kenyan islamist cur with purple lips, and the day the vote is complete, arrest him, Biden, Clinton, Holder, Pelosi, and Reid and try and execute them for treason. I think hanging would be appropriate.

Interesting. Today on Rush a caller, called in who was familiar with the way these type of situations work. He said that when the attack on the embassy began, a flash (highest priority) message stating that an "ambassador is in peril" is automatically sent to the situation room in the White House. The message keeps being sent until it is acknowledged by the officer who is always on duty for just such traffic. SOP is for that officer to walk the message directly to one of the generals, on duty, who is one of the Presidents aides, who then hand delivers it to the President. No waiting on emails, or any other delay. They also have special military units permanently on standby, all around the world, to react to just such a situation. If I understood him correctly, these reactions are automatic, and the only one who can tell them to stand down is the President. Hope they weren't tracking the guy who gave out the information, or his next duty station may be a cell in Leavenworth.

Absolutely!! This fraud should have been charged with treason and murder, instead the worst thing that could happen to him is losing the election. That is a sad reality.

You left out the number 1 mouthpiece-Valerie Jarrett.  That whole crowd is self serving and very evil.  i would say that Harry Reid is as much to blame as anyone because he won't even consider an impeachment in the senate.  The house has recommended hearings and I think that the specifics ought to be laid out in detail of the concerns and unanswered questions that should be clarified beyond a shadow of a doubt as to what happened and why.

Once the House sends a Bill of Impeachment to the Senate, they have to vote on it. They may vote it down, but they have to vote.

Boehner(sp) seems slow to move on such issues that points to closure or at least i think so.  they are at recess right now but do you foresee any chance of an impeachment being suggested?  What a freaking mess!

Yawn

Impeachment is a LONG process.  If he were re-elected and we have a majority in the House and Senate, there is a good chance.  If he's removed (they're not the same thing--Bill Clinton was impeached), you get Crazy Joe

QuoteRemoving an official from office requires two steps: (1) a formal accusation, or impeachment, by the House of Representatives, and (2) a trial and conviction by the Senate. Impeachment requires a majority vote of the House; conviction is more difficult, requiring a two-thirds vote by the Senate. The vice president presides over the Senate proceedings in the case of all officials except the president, whose trial is presided over by the chief justice of the Supreme Court. This is because the vice president can hardly be considered a disinterested party

IMO when President Romney takes office, one of the first things he should do is to award the Medal of Honor posthumously to the Navy Seals who attempted to rescue thosr trapped in the Benghazi  and lost their lives in the process.
Obama should be tried for treason.  I wanted to say he should have his cajones cut off, but then he doesn't have any.  Michelle has had them gold plated and wears them as earrings.

When Obama called on the Seals to take out Bin Laden, they answered the call.  When the Seals called O for backup in Benghazi, they were denied.  The men and women of the military will not forget.
