FYI, CNN and the online "tingle down the leg" network have it. Those whose webpage genuflects to MSNBC though won't see it up front unless they drill into the World section. Like TV snippets-as-gospel, the slothful populace won't see it for a few days more.

The MSNBC link, to be fair & balanced, is also still carrying the full "documents" article with links which, unfortunately, still paints a pretty poor picture of a decent RSO in the area trying his damndest to get the right thing done and offending the sensibilities of the Foggy Bottom crowd who move alot of thoughtful prose around the email server. The mission in Benghazi had their charter to-do list and weren't getting supported.

Those emails contain alot of embedded distribution lists. ALOT of people saw those if they were on duty or the stuff was coming to their Crackberry.

Unfortunately the disclosure of these emails will make no difference to those predisposed to vote for BHO.
Spoke to a few today. Their response was "He (POTUS) didn't know, it was Hillary, besides Romney would have sent in troops - we don't want that, Barack did the right thing.".
Thought about further explaining and / or questions, but decided it wouldn't serve any purpose.

Gov Romney has a binder full of women that are being held captive by horses bayonets

He cant be president because he is rich and evil.

The blame game has moved a step further. Now it is the miilitay's fault for not responding. Can't copy the link from my phone, but is being reported by Fox.

That dog won't hunt. They're putting the pieces of the circular firing squad together because the DoS Regional Security Officer had been painting the deteriorating picture for them for some time - and the host security was a frickin' militia faction.

Unfortunately, for some it may hunt. Especially this close to the election. The only silver lining on this entire cloud is that Hillary's chances of running in 16 is over. No matter who ultimately takes the fall, this happened on her watch. Any primary contender or GOP contender will make sure everyone remembers this black mark.

Was she under sniper fire again or was it those bayonet equipped Lipazaners in blue helmets?

Can Republicans "win" a shouting match over who has mishandled what in regards to GWOT? (Because the Democrats will make it a discussion of everything that has happened since 9/11.)

And what if the administration has aces up its sleeves IRT this specific event? Will the GOP do an Emily Litella?

MOO, the GOP needs to take a step back, to participate in a bipartisan investigation, and then to use the findings to support a broader movement that leads to diplomatic and armed service professionals being enabled further to do their jobs with less political interference from either side of the aisle. Then, the GOP could use the momentum from that movement to lead an even broader call for widespread civil service reform. Later, when the American people realize that the wheels of government are turning more efficiently, more voters may ask the GOP "What else you got?"

The cover up involving Benghazi is starting to look worse than Watergate (no one died from the Watergate scandal). If Barry is reelected look for the impeachment hearings to begin.

I think you make an excellent point. Admitting a lack of reticence over bashing the administration (in many areas) over lack of competence, I do believe the issue that could/should come out is that there are clear indications on-the-record that a security situation was minimized to manage some other agenda, or through sheer indifference from not having (or simply discarding) the perspective of those on the ground. That, rather than the "morning after" charade of "how come we're not all telling the same lie" will hopefully be the focus.

Ha... a Joe Biden presidency.

I think of the "pushing an old lady off the cliff ad", and I think Obama's competitors should run one like this...

Sec. Clinton is walking through the streets of Wash DC, a bus is seen approaching in the distance as the narrator rambles on about current events while dramatic music plays in the background...

blaH BLAH BLAH, Benghazi, blah blah, Hillary Clinton blah blah, American voters, blah blah blah, election...
...meanwhile, as Hillary nears the curb, someone that looks like the POTUS runs up and pushes her right into traffic and then disappears into the crowd. The scene looks like an old three-stooges clip of Curly falling from a roof, but still, under the bus she goes.
The music stops and then the narrator says, "the buck stops here"
"Vote for Roseanne Barr and Cindy Sheehan"

ha ha ha...
You f*ckers thought this would be a Mitt Romney ad didnt you..................

hahahahahahahaha

Everyone is waiting for the "October Surprise". This is it! Unfortunately he will be protected by the media.

Anyone remember last election? "I'm gonna bankrupt the coal industry" and then he took all the coal producing states. Where was the media on that one? Same place as this election....in his back pocket.

Just my $0.02
