Why 'Paint A Target' If There Are No Assets In The Air?



Bigger Than Watergate: Proof That The President Is Lying About Benghazi? -- Black Five

My Comment:
More reasons on why this issue refuses to die. And while I do not believe that the President is lying on Benghazi .... there are many questions that need to be answered .... and what frustrates me is that after seven weeks no one has come (or will come) from this administration to answer them. And what is worse .... with the exception of a few milblogs and FOX News .... everyone in the main stream media have gone AWOL on what is clearly a very important story.

Update: While I do not always agree with Bing West, his recent commentary sums up what many in the military (and other branches of the government) are now feeling about the Benghazi debacle and this President's handling of it. They are frustrated with the contradictions .... and they are now demanding answers.
