As information about the Benghazi consulate attack and
murders begins to ooze out, it is becoming increasingly clear that American
intelligence was both ignored and inadequate.
News reports Monday of Ambassador Steven’s personal diary were a
classic example of Keystone Cops in action; four days after the event, FBI
agents swept the consulate and “safe” house to gather any evidence and facts
they could about what happened. After
that sweep, CNN investigative reporters went through the same scene and managed
to find Stevens' diary. The “safe” house
itself was a treasure trove of State Department and intelligence information
about Libyan agents and officials, many of which were working for us as well. The loss of this information has been deemed “catastrophic.” And, the fact that we knew, or should have known
that an attack was imminent and did nothing about it suggests sinister
motives.
COMMENTS:
CNN, of course, did not turn the diary over to the family or
to the government, but leaked contents in its news releases. The concerted effort to cover up or distort
the events by Administration officials is reminiscent of what occurred in the
Fast & Furious scandal. The
allegation that the author of the infamous video was employed by State as an “informant”
begs further questions. We will never
know the answers; the Justice Department successfully snuffed the Fast &
Furious investigations against all odds, and they are in charge of the FBI
which is investigating the Libyan debacle.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Besides starting a military buildup, what steps has Putin
taken toward building a new Soviet Union?
(Carlos ~ Santa Monica, CA)
A. Due to the rapid decline in U.S. influence in the area,
Putin is making inroads in Asia with former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan with the goal toward reunification by 2015. Evidently, Ronald Reagan was just a flash in
the pan?
Q. Who is Sheldon Adelson and why is Obama trying to smear
him? (Katie ~ Butte, MT)
A. He is the owner of several casinos, including the Sands
in Las Vegas. He has been contributing
heavily to Republican candidates and has said repeatedly he will do everything
it takes to get Obama out of office.
Although Obama is getting tens of millions of dollars from George Soros,
he is angry at Romney for getting tons of money from Adelson. Adelson says Obama has set up a “shadow
government” of czars who really run Washington while Cabinet members have
virtually no access to the President. For

Q. Every responsible economic forecast I have seen suggests
that the $600 billion in automatic spending cuts set to take place next year
would devastate our economy, sending it into an even worse recession. What do you think will happen? (Gabrielle ~ Suisun City, CA)
A. Unless Romney wins, the current split of power is likely
to continue; even with a Republican Congress, Obama has the power of veto. The odds of the $600 billion being
successfully resolved and financial disaster averted are sadly, slim and
none.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“You know, some of the good part of blog
theory was that blogs would be like diaries that the world could read. They
would be spontaneous, whatever pops into your mind, as a diary would be.” ~ Gregg Easterbrook
