Bill Clinton told Hillary To Resign, US Arming ‘Syrian Rebels’ With Ties To Al Queda

Conservative Daily News From Oct 24, 2012, but just came today. Still relevant, however.
"Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, came forward to “take responsibility overall” for the attacks  at Benghazi, but per Ed Klein we now know behind the scenes Bill Clinton advised his wife  to resign over the possible criminal fallout of the Benghazi massacre.  Today we learn from sources  that not only did Hillary ask for added security, and was denied, but her closest advisers strongly suggested she seek legal counsel just days after the attack.  Why?

"Why did “they” deny Hillary’s requests for added security to Benghazi, and why is this a situation in which a Secretary of State would need personal legal counsel?  Could the Benghazi fallout, go beyond what a Public Relations firm can handle?"

Rebooting Republican Foreign Policy

Sigmund, Carl and Alfred; January 9, 2013.   "The GOP seems to have squandered away it’s traditional strong suits- national security and foreign relations. For a party which has been ravaged by what many consider extremist elements to ideas which now seem tired and out of step,  the Republicans are seeking an anchor, something which might tether their fractious party, together.
"In a rapidly changing world, foreign policy might be the glue the party needs."...

Is there a pattern here? Caliphornia Muslim convert stabs hardware store employee to death because Allah told him to   But I digress...

Hope n' Change

...."One thing is certain: that blood flowed in no small part because this president has made it clear that he won't tolerate "discrimination" against Muslims, including those who print business cards that say "Soldier of Allah," and who give Powerpoint presentations describing the way they'll behead infidels and pour boiling oil down their throats."....

 

 Report: Ft. Hood Shooter 'Initially' Thought About Attacking Ft. Benning, GA
"On page 26 the Sanity Board reports:"

The defendant stated that he planned his course of action in regards to "violent acts against the military" in the days following his deployment notification. He initially considered driving to the deployment center at Ft. Benning during his pre-deployment leave to Virginia and shooting soldiers there. He decided against that idea because he did not want to get caught in an unknown territory with weapons and ammunition in his car.

 Acting as His Own Attorney, Hasan Gets Another 'Shot' at Ft. Hood Witnesses   "After issuing opening statements in which he said "the evidence will clearly show I am the shooter," Maj. Nidal Hasan got the opportunity to cross examine witnesses who were at the trial to testify against him."

Kirsten Powers; On Abortion, Wendy Davis Doesn’t Know What She’s Talking About
"The Texas crusader let it slip this week that she is badly misinformed on the late-term abortion ban she crusaded against. And she’s not the only misinformed Democratic woman, writes Kirsten Powers."

The Democratic star du jour was asked this week to explain the difference between the late-term abortions she fought to keep legal in Texas and the illegal killings by Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell. “I don’t know what happened in the Gosnell case,” she told the Weekly Standard’s John McCormack, who cornered her after her National Press Club speech on Monday.

NYT Sours on Obamacare?

The American Interest

"In the NYT‘s Economic Scene column this week, Eduardo Porter compares the Obamacare roll-out to Harvard University’s introduction of a similar plan in the mid-1990s. In that case, the university made changes that were intended to encourage covered employees to shop around for care. The plan seemed like it was working, at first; competition had cut Harvard’s health care costs by 5-8 percent. But as time went on, younger and healthier employees dropped out of the plan altogether, leaving behind the older and sicker. Insurance premiums shot up, pushing out another layer of the relatively young and healthy, which pushed up premiums again, and so on."

The Next Threat to Your Privacy

Heritage  "Who has access to your Social Security number, your bank information, and your tax records?
"When Obamacare’s health insurance exchanges open, your data could be exposed to shysters and hackers, thanks to serious vulnerabilities in the system.
"The exchanges are scheduled to open on October 1 (just 53 days away). But the list of implementation failures keeps growing, and the security of Americans’ data is threatened."

THREAT #1: Obamacare “Navigators”

Navigators are a group of people and organizations that are going to be facilitating signups for Obamacare’s insurance exchanges. More on this here.

....

THREAT #2: Obamacare’s Data Hub

The data hub is a massive compilation of tax filings, Social Security reports, and other government data that will be used to determine eligibility for subsidized insurance. More here.

Krauthammer's Take: 'Biggest Recruiter of Terrorists Is American Weakness'

NRO

 

"Charles Krauthammer explained that one of the main reasons al-Qaeda is in the midst of a resurgence despite President Obama’s earlier claims that it was severely weakened is because this administration “has done a lot of retreating.” He clarified that retreating does not necessarily mean the president’s decisions to withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan, but more so that he has refused to take a tougher stance in the face of terrorism, such as in the aftermath of last year’s attack on the American diplomatic facility in Benghazi.

" “Obama used to talk about Guantanamo and all the sins of the Bush administration — torture and all this stuff — as the recruiter of terrorists,” he said on Special Report [Wednesday]. “The biggest recruiter of terrorists is American weakness.” "

China's take on "Winners and losers in Snowden fiasco"

In case you were wondering how the US under Obama is respected by our rivals.

Global Times of China   .... "Russia has impressed the world, which views the Kremlin as the "winner" and the White House as the "loser."

"This judgment is correct. In the Snowden case, all the other countries involved have become winners while the US is the sole loser. Washington put on a show of bravado, but failed to extradite Snowden in the end. By contrast, Moscow displayed its national characteristics of decisiveness and boldness and kept Washington at bay."
....
"Washington ate the dirt this time, but it does not necessarily mean it is really awed by Moscow. In the same manner, Washington is unlikely to fear Beijing, and Beijing needn't fear Washington. What Beijing should care about most is how to maximize its interests in its relations with Washington.

"Snowden can do more in a country like Russia. The performance that has disgraced the US is far from over."

In wishing Bush well, Putin has message for Obama

Reuters    "Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a telegram on Thursday to his old sparring partner, former U.S. President George W. Bush, wishing him a quick recovery from heart surgery.
"It may have been coincidence that the Kremlin released details of the telegram a day after Barack Obama pulled out of a planned summit with Putin, but little is left to chance in Russian politics.
"The warm words to the man who once said he looked Putin in the eye and got a "sense of his soul" highlighted how different the relationship is between the leaders in the Kremlin and the White House now."....

No contact from Obama as of this morning  "White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters that President Barack Obama was briefed on Bush’s procedure and “obviously wishes him well.” He didn’t believe Obama and Bush had spoken, Carney said."
