Whodunnit? Benghazi Talking Points Mysteriously Changed

The Administration talking points on Benghazi were edited to downplay the terror references, but by whom? In a nice display of synchronized finger-pointing, everyone involved says it was someone else.

Vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee Saxby Chambliss (R., Ga.) also said on Fox News Sunday that Petraeus said the initial talking points were altered and that senior intelligence and security officials did not know who was behind the changes.

“At the hearing we had on Thursday and Friday, we had every leader of the intelligence community there, including folks from the State Department, the FBI, everybody there was asked, do you know who made these changes? And nobody knew,” Chambliss said.

“The only entity that reviewed the talking points that was not there was the White House. I don’t know whether what they said yesterday is exactly right or not. But, what I do know is that every member of the intelligence community says that references to al Qaeda were removed by somebody and they don’t know who. And references to attacks versus demonstrations were removed by somebody.”

Chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) disagreed with Rogers and said allegations the White House changed the talking points were false. “So there was only one thing that was changed and I’ve checked into this, I believe it to be absolute fact and that was the word ‘consulate’ was changed to ‘mission,’” she said on the same program.

Although they risk offending their Silicon Valley supporters, Team Obama might want to consider blaming AutoCorrect.

I have Grass Roots greatest hits... One of the first albums I ever got for Christmas. I shall refrain from mentioning the Bobby Sherman 45s, however.

California took President MPG seriously and passed a tire pressure law.

On September 1, 2010, the California Air Resources Board’s (ARB’s) Tire Pressure Regulation took effect. The purpose of this regulation is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles operating with under inflated tires by inflating them to the recommended tire pressure rating. The regulation applies to vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,000 pounds or less. Automotive service providers must meet the regulation’s following requirements:..

http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/tire-pressure/tire-pressure.htm

All repair shops, lube joints, etc. are obligated to follow this order from our Air Resources Board.

Car comes in for a headlight and flies off of a cliff 3 months later and you have no record of tire pressures? Straight to the big house!

There is no requirement to note the quality of the tires, but I am sure a lawyer could be found to question why you didn't notice a "rough spot" on a tire you were filling with air.

The reason a lib can't object to Arabs in Gaza bombing Israelis and the lib media portrays the Arabs as the victims is that it goes against the revolution the social justice movement to do the reverse. The Arabs are poor and wretched and the Israelis are not, so you can't take issue with the Arab bombing of Israel and still be in solidarity with the movement for social justice. Progressive ideology is totalitarian and all-encompassing, driving out all other considerations, including common sense.

[matt]

Well the good news is that Los Times de LA is reporting that those recalcitrant Israelis may threaten his grand strategy, whatever that may be, in the Middle East. Since he has yet to enunciate an Obama Doctrine we're all waiting breathlessly, but he now has his scapegoats; the same ones dictators and anti - Semites have used for hundreds of years.

In addition, our good ally and "Muslim moderate" Erdogan is calling the Israelis war criminals in his efforts to reach out while Morsi says "the blood Israel sheds will be a "curse upon it" and presentspost-revolution Egypt as the new Arab champion for the Palestinians."

In the meantime, the Poli-stons have been caught 3-4 times now faking footage while continuing to launch missiles into Israel; a fight they started. And now they feel they have the upper hand.

I have to really wonder what in hell he is doing gallivanting around Thailand, Myanmar (oops, Burma) and Palling up with the crook in Pnomh Penh with Hillary tagging along like a drunk groupie while the Middle East is blowing up.

So when Obama sells Israel out, what with the Jews who voted for this monster say then?

[daddy]

I'm thinking the Khawam gals must have an inner ear disorder:

[Gus]

Narciso, those REFS "Retired" after screwing the Packers in Seattle.

Goodell FIXED things.

[narciso]

Hamas was elected in part because of Fatah's corruption, in Gaza, their security forces 'bailed' at first instance, I'm sure everything is as FUBAR now as it was 6 years ago

[narciso]

They have a high center of gravity, part of a new series, Gulf Coast Shores,

[jimmyk]

Keeping in mind, of course, that WalMart (and Costco) were huge contributors to Obama and the Dems.

Protection money.

Actually, Sam Walton gave a lot to Obama, but the kids donated to Romney, I believe.

[Jim Ryan]

My two cents? Those to gals are ashamed of how tall they are. They tip their heads to shorten up a bit. Or either, where they come from that's what a gal does in a "glamour shot."

[Danube of Thought on IPad]

"And he's married to the lovely and LIBERAL Jane Skinner."

And he's the son of a proto-RINO Senator.

[Gus]

Daddy the one "Socialite" chick "Kelley" appears to have a NECK disorder.

[Gus]

Jimmyk, henry and I had that very conversation over a beer yesterday.
All deals with Marxist governments involve bribes and protection money.

[narciso]

Seriously, does Alred really want to go there, with the Khawam's version of the Human Fund,

[Danube of Thought on IPad]

Of course Goodell (and every commissioner) is a mouthpiece for the owners. They are his employers. He represents them against the players and their union. Like any management representative, he ultimately has to act in the best interests of the whole enterprise, subject to the demands of, and negotiations with, the employees.

It's not personal. It's business.

[Barbara]

I keep seeing Charleton Heston coming upon the uprooted Statue of Liberty in Planet of the Apes.

I keep seeing Dr. Zhivago arriving at was once his home in Moscow to find 30 other families had moved in along with a couple of dour state commissars.

[jimmyk]

Those to gals are ashamed of how tall they are.

I don't think they're familiar with the concept of "shame." That story of them visiting the White House has me wondering how many leeches there must be slithering around trying to insinuate themselves into power and money (rather than doing anything useful and productive), like that couple that got caught crashing the WH dinner last year. For all the ones that make the news there must be thousands of others.

[narciso]

Yes, but they pick the players right, where is the accountability, I kid, I kid,

[Gus]

Yes Danube. For example, when the Packers got JOBBED in SEATTLE. The COMPETITION issue never entered Goodel$ thought proce$$.
Ratings and the problem going away did. A wee bit too late.

Deja Vu, all over again;

Michaele Salahi (née Michelle Ann "Missy" Holt) (born October 1, 1965) is a self-proclaimed model and socialite.[citation needed] The Virginia native is an active member of the Washington, D.C., social scene.[citation needed] She and her former husband, Tareq Salahi, were former owners and residents of the Oasis Winery near Hume, Virginia.[4]

[daddy]

Stephanie's ACC Sports Link has a story telling us that Vince Young, former NFL Quarterback, blew thru 30 Million Dollars in 3 years and now he is dead broke.

The story shows some of the nutty stuff he blew his cash on, such as:

---He wanted to be alone one day so he bought every ticket on a Southwest Airline's flight to be by himself.

---$5,000 a week on CheeseCake

---$600 shots of Louis XIII from Morton’s restaurants for his buddies

Moron. Now we're gonna' pay for his HealthCare.

Well, he was going to end up in jail sooner or later anyways, wasn't he, daddy? Still on the taxpayer's dime - different budget line is all.

[Threadkiller (Get off your couch and leave the GOP!)]

Michele Bachmann was scorched for her concern over Muslim infiltration into the Whitehouse.

They should have checked the guest list.

[Jim Ryan]

Were they able to get the Muslims to dine with any of the queer guests? If not, which group did they uninvite?

By the way, I wonder how many kids took out $40,000 in loans last year in order to write a term paper entitled "The Obama White House: Good for Gay Rights?"

[Gus]

Oh NO Daddy!! We will TAX THE KOCH BROTHERS to pay for the BROTHERS health care.
And Vince Young is one of Holders PEOPLE.

[daddy]

if they ever tell anyone that I have Grass Roots greatest hits. I will KILL them.

There is a very large community of Maronite Christians as well as Syriac rite Catholics in Lebanon, so don't pass judgement too quickly.

The Lebanese emigrated here to get away from the violence and most of them are 100% assimilated.Darrell Issa is Lebanese American.

Put it down to the wacky culture of parts of Florida. There is no polite society as such, there are simply schmoozefests for people who like their names in the paper. We have become a nation of chavs and gangnam stylists.

[daddy]

I shall refrain from mentioning the Bobby Sherman 45s,

Well I won't.

Merry Thanksgiving Stephanie!

It's a very skin crawling milieu, Matt, and a little reminiscent of what Jonathan Aitken got mixed up in, across the Ocean,

I'll get you Daddy. Even though I've never been to AK, I'll get you!!

Well played Sir.

[daddy]

Narciso,

I like to think of it more like this:

[jimmyk]

I guess a lot of people were making the Kelley-Salahi comparison:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1112/84046.html?hp=l12

But Salahi actually sounds like he's stumbled into the truth: "And clearly the White House is letting this run because they want to avoid the issue of Benghazi."

[Ralph L]

They have a high center of gravity
Yes, they're stacked quite well.

I suppose the head tilt also lessens their aggressive chins (says the man without one of his own).

GAH!!! You know I just realized who Rickie Fowler the golfer has always reminded me of but I couldn't place it... OMG. Separated at birth!

Nah nah nah nah nah nah live for today... FORE!

[Gus]

The scariest thing, is that none of those 3 Grass Roots GREATEST HITS albums appear to be the one that I DO NOT OWN!!

Hahahahahahahahahhaa.

Is that PYGAR in that last Grass Roots album pic? Barbarella? Really?

[Gus]

Stephanie, unfortunately we are discussing NEIL SCHON ....LOVING, TOUCHING and SQUEEEEEZING the female Salahi!!

Two words... Creed Bratton.

Now I know why watching The Office can cause flashbacks.

If only Paula Broadwell had put on Astronaut diapers and driven 8 hours to murder Jill kelley in a Florida Parking lot like that NASA chick, none of this would have happened.

Oh when will they ever learn?

[Stephanie]

"They tip their heads to shorten up a bit."

Stephanie!! Very cool LUN. Are you aware, that BOTH of my parents, are buried at ARLINGTON!!! I am very very proud.

[Sandy Daze]

I'd like to wish all JOMers and their families the happiest of Thanksgivings. Nothing like a little time set aside to focus on the important stuff. Stormy Daze gets in from Hillsdale ~2200 tonight, Mrs Daze has the the refridge full, Windy is caught up in all her Latin & Great Books; the coming weekend looks fine.
~~
I did notice yesterday when passing by, however, that the folks at the (local) Virginia Beach Schools Annex were also thinking of Thanksgiving Day, and its unique nature among all our holidays. Nothing like education administrators to nail the significance of a moment. On the sign out front of the complex, I watched them add the following letters:

"HAVE A SAFE
AND HAPPY HOLIDAY"

Made me feel a lot more, well, thankful, seeing those words. I guess.

Saw the LUN in the news. This will end well. Equality for all. Certainly a more perfect union. As Buzz Lightyear would say, "to there and beyond..."

Take good care, all of you. Hug those you love, tight.

Last day of school for the Thanksgiving break. Today our Fishes and Loaves ministry serve a Thanksgiving meal at school for the whole student population all at the same time. Lucky me I have a set of Bose noise-reduction ear phones. Drawback is my Santa hat won't fit over them.

CH,

Florida house did the best they could in redistricting. Remember there are more Dems registered in Florida than Reps. (albeit a small margin) but the repubs have 17 to 10 advantage in House seats. Even steven in the Senate but control the State Government. Although Scott is getting cold feet re: Health Exchanges and medicaid, etc.

The state is becoming more and more blue each year due to the number of retirees from the Northeast and Midwest who vote straight line party Dem. Unemployment doesn't affect them when they vote. The vote on SS and Medicare and other entitlements.

Jimmy,

Actually, Sam Walton gave a lot to Obama, but the kids donated to Romney, I believe.

Neat trick if he did. He's been dead for years.

[rse]

The Walton F appears to me to be preparing to follow the Steel Magnate, Model T, and tobacco foundations in financing the destruction of free markets.

Just read the new Social Science frameworks decreeing that because we lives in a "constitutional democracy". . .

Except we don't. But if enough students are taught falsities, we may end up as a democracy but it won't be constitutional.

So let's enjoy our families and remember those with loved ones in harm's way to preserve the Constitutional Republic under such assault.

And remember there IS power in seeing what is coming and making plans now.

And remember I may have proven that it is Individualism under organized assault but that does not mean it will be successful.

[Dublindave]

The basic tenets of Conservatism are fine, it's the uncompromising, almost unrelenting religious devotion to their application. And it's also the 'Conservative paradox' of trying to succeed within a Democratic process that you fundamentally despise.

Bottom line: you keep being crazy, we'll keep running things.

[Dublindave]

Also, this new 'War on Negro women' has to stop. What the hell have women, trying to succeed in their careers, ever done to you? Why the hell do you hate black people so much that you'd go out of your way to denigrate and besmirch them?

I hope Latinos are watching what Republicans do to people who aren't white and who aren't male.

Justice for Susan Rice!!!!!
