Is Benghazi fading into the background?

Nine months and counting – still no clear answers on Benghazi. Six congressional hearings, whistle-blowers have spoken, yet we are no closer to getting justice for the murder of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, information officer Sean Smith and former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.

Obama’s presents on that day remains unknown – security failures are not accounted for – Hillary Clinton remains in hiding with no account accountability – real truth and real questions about Benghazi are going unanswered. 

Is the truth to the suggestion that Benghazi was actually a CIA gun-running operation for the Muslim Brotherhood and other insurgents fighting in Syria? Why would two military men on a roof paint a target – knowing that they would give themselves away – if there was no one coming to help? Why was the U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and others still in Benghazi when others were leaving as fast as they could?

Now that other terrorist attacks and White House scandals have surfaced and are getting most of the media attention – is the Benghazi attack destiny to fade into the background with unanswered questions?

“What difference does it make now”

It makes a difference because American lives have been snuffed – because all we have heard is rhetoric that is filled with lies and deceptions – because the families of the murdered and injured Americans have a right to have accountability on the matter and know the truth so they can have closure today not 20 years from now.

Because Obama said that his administration would be open and transparent; of which; we have seen very little of right from the beginning.

Grassfire is mobilizing 200,000 citizen-petitions that will be hand-delivered to key members of Congress on Capitol Hill calling for a complete and transparent investigation into the Benghazi attacks and the alleged cover-up that followed.

Pandering Panda

Obama calmly said the Libya attack was due to a YouTube movie trailer when everything pointed to a terrorist attack.   The pandering of terrorist is as bad as their pandering of illegal aliens.

The more we find out what was happening in Libya before the deadly attack, the more it leaves you to believe the lying and cover-up was on the agenda. 

We learn that repeated requests were made by Ambassador Chris Stevens for increase security and was denied even though they knew his life had been threaten.  Then we learn that 24 hours after the fact Obama and other departments in charged had reports that it was indeed a terrorist attack and they still came out and lied about what happened.

The lying by all that were to protect this man and other Americans there should not be forgiven.  All the lying, twisting of words, and deceiving that has come out of this White House should not be forgotten. 

Clinton was impeached because he had lied about his relationship with 22-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky.  Nixon faced certain impeachment for obstruction of justice in the Watergate burglaries.  When has lying and deceiving become acceptable with our leaders?

Bad Summer?

Listening to police scanner yesterday afternoon between 4PM to about 10PM - 8th and 7th Districts were indeed busy. Counted about 12 shootings and at least 10 people injured - at least 3 dead at last count. The news media only gives you one side of the story check out http://secondcitycop.blogspot.com/ for another side.

A small example:

Cops OK, Bystander Hurt?

Our money would be on the goof with the AK-47:

A 35-year-old man was hospitalized Friday evening after being shot just blocks from a police-involved shooting on the South Side. A man was shot in the 11300 block of South Emerald Avenue before 7 p.m., according to police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli. As responding officers investigated the shooting, shots were fired at the police in the 11000 block of South Union Avenue, Mirabelli said. No officers were injured. Officers recovered an AK-47 assault rifle from the Union Avenue address, Mirabelli said. A 35-year-old man was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in "trauma" condition from the Emerald Avenue address, Fire Media Affairs spokesman Joe Roccasalva said. It was not clear whether the man was shot by police or another individual.

Shot just blocks away? Our ammo can barely make it to the end of the block, even with a decent tailwind. And when it gets there, it's isn't about to do any damage.
Thank god no coppers got killed.

I was out there this evening and was on the scene when this guy was placed in custody. The 35 year old was shot at 714 west on 115th street. 022nd district tact guys spotted a man who fit the description of the offender from the shooting on 115th street. The guy bailed out of his vehicle and opened fire from the ak47 spraying the front windshield of the vehicle and officers returned fire without hitting him. The guy attempted to ditch the weapon but was caught after a brief footchase. Later on in the evening, the man who was originally shot on 115th street was pronounced dead at Christ. Those officers were truly blessed because from the looks of that windshield.... its hard to imagine them not being hit.
