“The “Fog of War”….?

From the Other Side of the Edge….
The “Fog of War”….?
By Joe Facinoli

How stupid do they think we are???

On how many levels?

Truth,…..or Spin??

Do the “Right Thing”,…..or get re-elected?

And why do those two have to be mutually exclusive??

Defend the Country, its honor, and the people who were willing to give their lives for it,…..or, go for a bump in the polls, with misdirection and falsehoods, made of whole cloth?

A “Faustian” deal, with Satan his ownself, to secure a bogus legacy and their jobs, on our dole for another four years,…..or, rescuing dozens of brave souls, sworn to your service, who were waiting for your call?

Or simply just kick some sand on four dead bodies in the desert, hoping no one will notice, just because you’ve told them not to?

Are we really to believe, that the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the President of the United States, and all of their top advisers, as well as all Intelligence personnel, from around the entire world, were so “confused” and uncertain about events unfolding on the ground in Benghazi, Libya, on the night of September 11, that they were unable to react in a timely manner, due to reports conflicted by the “fog of war” ?????

Really???

Have we fallen that far? Either in national I.Q., or our ability to perceive, or in countrywide gullibility, in accepting such a juvenile explanation, while allowing the mainstream media/ObamaPress to get away with trying to sell us such a blood stained clunker?

This series of premeditated atrocities, incredibly stupid mistakes and oversights, and unbelievably arrogant, after the fact condescensions, all make “Fast and Furious” look like a hold up gone wrong, down at the corner grocery,….makes “Irangate” look like a spiteful neighborhood fist fight,…..and makes “Watergate”, which brought down a President, look like a kindergarten shoving match, over a seat on the swing set.

People died in the “Fast and Furious” fiasco, and during the “Irangate” mess as well. And many, many lives, careers, and more than a few ideals, were irrevocably damaged and changed due to “Watergate”, especially the psyche and pride of the country altogether.

But none of these political disasters can touch the Benghazi debacle, for its sheer volume of hubris, both male and female, in making a predetermined plan for the cover-up of murder by neglect (theirs), and for the blatant and shameless disregard of their sworn duty to protect those Americans who protect us, ….at all costs.

They just let those good people die.   In the most brutal manner possible. And they were watching it, while it happened.

This one is so far beyond “Shameful”, to use a word made popular recently, that there just isn’t any precedent. And thank all that’s holy for that.

There’s just no way to understand,…..how these powerful men and women, these leaders which we have chosen and installed, could let this happen, knowing what they knew, ….before, ….during,….and especially afterwards.

And then lie about, in our faces, with a smile, and then ask for more campaign donations.

What’s the one thing, the single thread, that ties all of this insanity, incompetence, arrogance and mendacity (that’s “lying” for those of you living inside the DC Beltway) together?

What’s the only thing that makes any sense,….at all?

It was a coordinated effort, from the beginning, right up to today’s non-coverage of it, virtually anywhere you might choose to look for it (and not find it).

Where’s the train wreck chasing journalists,….and the ambulance chasing media?

Where’s the outrage?

Where’s the attack dogs, that we got so used to? Where’s Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, and Bill Maher, biting down on George Bush’s leg, and not letting go for eight years??

Is it all about politics now, first, last, and every mortal thing? Is it completely about “spin” now, to the very last syllable, of the most minute talking point?

And can we really play with people’s lives, and their deaths, like pieces on a chessboard, or made-up images on a video game screen?

Apparently so. Or so these leaders, sworn to protect us, would have us believe.

The mighty federal government is supposed to be the “Mack Daddy”, for every one and every thing. The do-it-all, be all, and end all, for all who seek its sanctuary and safeguarding.

But when these loyal folks needed it the most, those boys and girls in DC, doing their best impression of pretending to be in charge, were on the phone with the caterer, ordering extra artichoke dip for their re-election after parties, and the inaugural balls.

Yep, Benghazi was going to make their ice cream melt, and just ruin all these perfect festivities, so well earned, to be sure.

Bin Laden was dead, Al Qaeda was “on the run”, and Obama’s foreign policy was winning the day. That was the line they were sticking with, and selling hard, even in the face of those other, “inconvenient truths”.

And then Benghazi happened. Or, was allowed to happen. They couldn’t possibly let this one see the light of day, or they’d never see another light, of any day.

So, they concocted this imbecilic tale of a “hateful video”, and disavowed all knowledge of anything. They were drawing blanks on their own mothers, and their kids’ names were giving them trouble, from the sounds of it.

And we were just supposed to lie flat down in the middle of the street, and let that dump truck full of crap roll right over us, no questions.

Oops. Seems there are just a few loose ends in this concoction, that don’t quite pass the smell test, dump truck, or no.

We just can’t let this end here. We can’t let some bimbo from Arizona knock this off the front page. We must keep the pressure on. The Congressional hearings this past week should only be the starting point, not the finish line.

This is earth shattering and axis changing, only no one is hearing about it.

At least two of the top three officials in our government, the President, and the Secretary of State, should be removed from office, and nothing less. Or they should have the decency to resign. And the rest of their blind, brown nosed followers should start running for cover, as well, and re-writing resumes.

Even if there had been no deaths, the actions and inactions of this despicable group was criminal. And worse, inhumane.

They HAVE to be held accountable. Hilary, Obama, the media, and all their accomplices.

Keep the pressure on,…..until the Truth wins.

All we’ve got is the Truth. We owe our greatest efforts to that constant,…..and to the lives of four brave, dead Americans.
