Less preening more questions to the point

Dorner
The left remains in love with cop killer Chris Dorner. CNN thinks he’s like a real life Denzel Washington movie. MESSNBC says he is shedding light on the racist LAPD. OK let’s say that’s true. How many LA police officers did he kill? Not a single one. He killed a woman and her fiancé, a Riverside police officer and San Bernardino county sheriff.


The targets of his wrath have gotten off scott-free and bunch of innocent people have been gunned down for no other reason than they were easier targets. Not the stuff of heroes, even for lefties, yet they cheer him on.

Leon Panetta
Something bugged me about Leon Panetta’s senate testimony about Benghazi. Well a lot thing s bugged me but one thing in particular. It wasn’t Panetta’s fault. It was the fault of the grandstanding preening jackasses who populate the senate.

Leon Panetta said there was no time to arrange a rescue mission for the people being attacked at the consulate. I believe that is total BS. The battle at the consulate raged on and on for more than seven hours. Something could have been done. That something may not have been the perfect solution, but it may have been enough to save a life or two.

Panetta said that you cannot just send attack jets or an AC130 gun ship into the area without knowing what was going on. Well Leon, yes you can. You can put them on target ready to react in the hope that at some point you can discern what is going on.

That’s what bothers me about Benghazi. One of the preening jackasses should have asked, “How long did you expect that the attacks in Benghazi would last?” The obvious and only answer is “We had no idea.” Next question, “So not having any idea how long the attack might last, 4, 6, 8, 10, 24, 36 hours, wouldn’t it have been prudent to get something into the area in the off chance that at some point in the future they might be used to save American lives?” The answer would be some totally non-responsive line of BS. Next question, “Was any warning order issued to any American forces to be prepared to respond to Benghazi?” If the answer to that question is “no”, the next question is, “If you had no idea how long the conflict would last, why the hell not?” If the answer is yes next question, “When was that order given and to whom?” Next question, “When were those forces directed to stand down?”

It appears to me that for over seven hours DoD did nothing except monitor the deaths of four Americans at the hands of Islamo-Terror-Fascists. There is a word for that type of inaction – cowardice. Even Box-O-Rocks Chucky Hagel could have done nothing.

Conspiracy theory #3-13: LB told DoD not to engage because LB was in the middle of a campaign where one of his key talking points is that he has al Qaeda on the run. Better to have four dead Americans than a messy gun battle in Benghazi that might upset a key talking point. Besides “WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?”
