Emails prove Hillary 'terror' lie in Benghazi - 1 views

  • State Department emails released through a lawsuit by Judicial Watch show then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knew while the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi was under way that it was being carried out by terrorists.
  • “And it is inescapable that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knowingly lied when she planted the false story about ‘inflammatory’ material being posted on the Internet,’” Fitton said.
  • Despite her three top staff members being informed that a terrorist group had claimed credit for the attack, Clinton, issued an official statement, also produced to Judicial Watch, claiming the attack may have been “a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet.”

  • “I would have thought a serious congressional investigation into Benghazi would have started with the documents we had, since Judicial Watch has led in exposing the White House cover-up,” he said.
  •  
    Chronicle article employed to defame Hillary Clinton. The article cites several emails as sources to prove Clinton's alleged lies concerning an attack in benghazi 2012.

    I don't see how this could not just be a terrorist group that responded to internet material they found offensive. Terrorists have access to internet as well.

    This is a news article concerning the attempted recall of Wisconsin governor Scott Walker. This article contrasts the idea that every legislative race, no matter how big or small, reflects politics on a national level. In this particular race, it is notable that parties argued as to wether or not this race was any indication as to the potential outcome of 2012 general elections, and whether or not it might have been possible for Mitt Romney to win the state of Wisconsin from Obama. Noted, the article makes reference to exit polls that indicated Obamas advantage in the state.

    A summary of what happened during the election and the actions Walker took when faced with the recall.
  •  
    With a dominant 54%, Walker handily retained the governors office.
  •  
    This article seems to favor Walker but gives the general idea of why he survived the recall
  •  
    Walker wins recall this is important because republicans have said this was a test for walker and his political career, while on the other hand even though democrat president Obama won Wisconsin in 2008 earlier with a point lead.

Report: Defense cuts degrading military, US no longer able to fight 2 wars at same time... - 0 views

  • Email
  • he United States military does not currently have the ability to fight two major wars simultaneously, according to a new report, a significant reduction from the capacity enjoyed by defense officials for decades. 
  • That strategy enables the U.S. military to defeat one adversary in a conflict while preventing another aggressor—seeking to take advantage of the United States’ preoccupation with the first conflict—from defeating it in a separate theater. 
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • “The consistent decline in funding and the consequent shrinking of the force are putting it under significant pressure,” the report said. “Essential maintenance is being deferred; fewer units (mostly the Navy’s platforms and the Special Operations Forces community) are being cycled through operational deployments more often and for longer periods; and old equipment is being extended while programmed replacements are problematic.” 
  • “The cumulative effect of such factors has resulted in a U.S. military that is marginally able to meet the demands of defending America’s vital national interests.” 
  •  
    Due to very large defense cuts, the US no longer has the budget to arm itself against two aggressors at once.The strategy before these cuts was that the armed forces would have a reserve of weapons and soldiers to counteract any attacking force that assumes the country is weak while fighting another war. Now this strategy is no longer able to be used and it now while at war there is no current strategy to replace it as of now.
