This Defunding ObamaCare Update is upbeat; 72K people participated in a telephonic-briefing this- p.m.led by Tea Party Patriots and featuring Cruz/Lee/Meadowsand, during the call, $25K was raised. Perhaps the most encouraging message uttered nationally is what is being experienced locally, namely, intense pressure is being exerted on GOP-CongressPeople to do the right thing rather than worry about how their conduct may be perceived by Boehner, the GOP-Establishment, and/or the Media. Specifically, quiet-commitments are being garnered, as incremental realization of the magnitude of this pivotal-vote is sinking-in [and it is expected to occur within a fortnight, following the Syria War debate].
Specific support is sought incrementally for the Graves Bill and the Meadows Letter, inasmuch as the former seeks to defund while the latter tethers defunding to the CR. That Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick had signed neither prompted issuance of the critical Press Releasesigned by all TEA [Taxed Enough Already] Party Movement groups located in Bucks Countywhich appears to have been a unique event, nationally. Thus, Mike called two of its signatories and met with them on 9/5/2013 for 90 minutes, and its anticipated that the anticipated follow-up meeting on 9/10/2013 in D.C. will focus on the Graves Bill, for his oral comments appear to be congruent with the language therein:
A BILL [H.R.2682.IH]
To prohibit the funding of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the `Defund ObamaCare Act of 2013'. SEC. 2. PROHIBITION ON FUNDING. (a) In General- Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no Federal funds shall be made available to carry out any provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148) or title I and subtitle B of title II of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-152), or of the amendments made by either such Act. (b) Limitation- No entitlement to benefits under any provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148) or title I and subtitle B of title II of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-152), or the amendments made by either such Act, shall remain in effect on and after the date of the enactment of this Act, nor shall any payment be awarded, owed, or made to any State, District, or territory under any such provision. 452
(c) Unobligated Balances- Notwithstanding any other provision of law, all unobligated balances available under the provisions of law referred to in subsection (a) are hereby rescinded.
U.S. Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA-14) announced that his Defund ObamaCare Act (H.R. 2682) crossed the threshold of the so-called Hastert Rule now that it has support from a majority of House Republicans. Inasmuch as HALF OF GOP VOTERS IN BOEHNERS DISTRICT WELCOME PRIMARY CHALLENGE TO SPEAKER, it would appear that he will be forced to honor the wishes of the majority of his caucus when handling this legislation.
It should be noted that the signatories of the Press Release harbor national-connections with many groups that are active in this arena [FreedomWorks, Tea Party Patriots, Heritage Action]; this physician has also been nurturing parallel communication-links and expanded them [tonight] to Rafael B. Cruz *Teds father+ and Colin Hanna *Let Freedom Ring+; the rationale for these new forays is detailed infra. Thus, what is transpiring loco-regionally can serve as a template for what others may co-adopt and, therefore, the text of the adopted-Resolution is reprised [themed on Meadows to maximize impact]:
We, the undersigned leaders of patriot groups in the 8 th Congressional District, have been active supporters of Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick for years, contributing time, effort, and funds to support this honest civil servant. We have asked the Congressman to protect the best interests of individuals, families, and businesses in his district by refusing to fund ObamaCare. Unfortunately, despite having cast 42 votes supporting symbolic resolutions against the detrimental provisions of this Healthcare Act, Congressman Fitzpatrick has not committed himself to taking a stand against funding ObamaCare in the Continuing Resolution.
The failure of our representatives in the House to use their power of the purse strings to delay or stall the burdensome requirements of ObamaCare undermines the people's confidence in their understanding of the harmful impact of this law and their commitment to the welfare of the people. Those of us who have worked to put the Congressman in office because of his firm stand against ObamaCare call on Congressman Fitzpatrick to back up his words with action by voting against any measure that provides funding for ObamaCare. We further ask that Congressman Fitzpatrick make public this commitment to his constituents.
We specifically request that Congressman Fitzpatrick promptly sign the letter composed by Rep. Mark Meadows, urging the House GOP leadership to affirmatively de-fund the implementation and enforcement of ObamaCare in any relevant appropriations bill brought to the House floor in the 113th Congress, including any continuing appropriations bill.
The political import of this gambit has been to convey disquiet among those on the right flank of a man who has been a moderate statesman who resists being swept-up in movements that may go viral; thus, he has not been subject to a information-dump of organizations *such as the AAPS, of which this physician is a member] endorsing this effortfor he is an independent thinker/speaker/doernor has he been told what he already knows [Republicans question cost of ObamaCare price break for unions]. Superimposed upon the bullet-point presentation of its impact [which is already being experienced] are articles that have been acquired within the past 24-hours [Higher health care costs will shift to workers, 453
IBM to Move Retirees Off Health Plan, employer-mandate-causes-cuts-to-work-hours-and-jobs, Workers Lose, business-doesnt-have-a-prayer, and cutting-employee-hours-and-limiting-healthcare-options]. Thus, messaging has been predicated on not only the practical and philosophical flaws in ObamaCare, but also on its position in the overall polity BHO is imposing upon America, as illustrated by this essay by Jenny Beth Martin [who is co-founder of Tea Party Patriots, and who co-hosted tonights conference+, the title of which tells-all: Congressmen-Intentionally-Remain-Low-Information-Voters-on-ObamaCare.
ACTION-ITEM
To re-cap, this is the distillation of what can be accomplished in D.C., for it creates common ground among members of the GOP while maintaining laser-like focus upon the absolute defunding goal. Here, nothing related to delay will suffice, for Heritage Action noted the many mandated-actions that would tighten-the-noose under the radar *starting on 1/1/2014+ that already appear on BHOs time-line. Certainly, it can be tweaked [such as by placing debt-service within the larger CR], but the key-goal is undermining the ongoing disinformation campaign *promulgated by the Ds and amplified by the media+ regarding who might be blamed for a government shutdownwithout compromising GOP principles:
HR 2009 *Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act of 2013+ was passed by the House and could be appended to the CR covering the Treasury Department; HR 2300 *Empowering Patients First+ could be appended to the CR covering the Health and Human Services Department; the remaining eight departments could then be amalgamated into one CR and passed [thereby envisioned to be passed by the Senate and signed by the POTUS]. In this fashion, the GOP would not be portrayed as the Party of NO! because it would have adopted [and funded] its alternative-plan, and the GOP would not be portrayed as having shut down government because it would have upheld its duties [per the Constitution, Article I, Section 7] to originate government-funding bills.
The decision as to whether to launch a Syrian War is not agonizing, as reflex-Ds such as Trudy Rubin incessantly suggest in defense of BHO [Worldview: On Syria, no good option] and as reflex-Ds such as the Jewish Exponent publish an editorial and two op-eds that uniformly support BHOs bellicosityand as neither opts to recognize the possibility that this sudden event is actually a direct consequence of the Obama Doctrine *RETREAT] during the past half-decade; his upcoming interviews and speech will probably not alter the devastating whip-count appreciably [as per lefties @ WaPo, AP, Think-Progress], yielding such a bad situation in the House that its possible D-Senators wont pass it *lacking the desire to be hung-out-to-dry when anticipating a courageous defense of BHO would have to be mounted subsequently, noting Reid faces double-digit Democratic defections and Pelosi Warns BHO May Not Have House Votes+. BHO wont be able to use this vote to bash Congress due to bipartisan opposition; this could presage domestic-side retreat as well, just in time for the upcoming Defund ObamaCare wars [intra-GOP, and inter-party]which have monopolized prior blast e-mails during the past month.
It may be recalled that the essay this physician co-authored with Dr. Sherkoh Abbas [The Kurds can lead a reborn Syria, at peace with all of her neighbors] detailed the Third Way to perceive the current conundrum; it has been published in Israpundit, on the homepage of the Kurdistan National Assembly, and now on Doznewsand it is going to appear [pending] in the Jerusalem Post and [in a revised hard-copy incarnation] in the New English Review. This constitutes a full-court-press effort to maximize the necessary awareness of the need to support non-Islamist rebels who, until recently, BHO has been ignoring [while supporting entities aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood]. Thus, rather than bash BHO, this constitutes an effort to help him choose wisely, and it must be noted that other voices in the wilderness who have been clamoring for YEARS regarding the need to have paid attention to the Kurds include Joseph Puder, Jerome Gordon, Ted Belman and Jonathan Spyer*as other pundits have ignored them].

Obviously, a tremendous amount of information has been culled from the Internet during recent weeks, and it is difficult to envision how to format its presentation in this venue; thus, lengthy pieces are to be provided in a series of blast e-mails, with extensive commentary reserved, to follow the data-dump. These recitations cannot be viewed as dicta regarding how America must approach the Middle East, inasmuch as many additional facets also remain under-reported [e.g., the essay in front page mag by joseph-puder addressing why any negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs must include Jewish refugees from arab lands]. Nevertheless, recalling the concept that these problems with BHO are categorized nominallyfor they actually constitute fingers connected to a solitary handit is noted that two essayists have claimed answers-on-benghazi *a foundational component of the Scandal-Sheet that has animated these blasts+ will emerge when the benghazi-syria-connection is explored.
Over the years, this physician has been placed into the position of channeling points made in an essay written in defense of Sarah Palin, and illustrative of her insights is her analysis [so-were-bombing-syria-because-syria-is-bombing-syria and-im-the-idiot?] which encompasses so many superb observations [and states them so succinctly] that its entire punch is presented *rather than relying upon the reader to use a hyperlink+:
* President Obama wants America involved in Syrias civil war pitting the antagonistic Assad regime against equally antagonistic al-Qaeda affiliated rebels. But hes not quite sure which side is doing what, what the ultimate end game is, or even whose side we should be on. Havent we learned? WAGs dont work in war.
* We didnt intervene when over 100,000 Syrians were tragically slaughtered by various means, but well now intervene to avenge the tragic deaths of over 1,000 Syrians killed by chemical weapons, though according to the White House were not actually planning to take out 456
the chemical weapons because doing so would require too much of a commitment.
* President Obama wants to do what, exactly? Punish evil acts in the form of a telegraphed air strike on Syria to serve as a deterrent? If our invasion of Iraq wasnt enough of a deterrent to stop evil men from using chemical weapons on their own people, why do we think this will be?
* The world sympathizes with the plight of civilians tragically caught in the crossfire of this internal conflict. But President Obamas advertised war plan (which has given Assad enough of a heads-up that hes reportedly already placing human shields at targeted sites) isnt about protecting civilians, and its not been explained how lobbing U.S. missiles at Syria will help Syrian civilians. Do we really think our actions help either side or stop them from hurting more civilians?
* We have no clear mission in Syria. Theres no explanation of what vital American interests are at stake there today amidst yet another centuries-old internal struggle between violent radical Islamists and a murderous dictatorial regime, and we have no business getting involved anywhere without one. And wheres the legal consent of the peoples representatives? Our allies in Britain have already spoken. They just said no. The American people overwhelmingly agree, and the wisdom of the people must be heeded.
* Our Nobel Peace Prize winning President needs to seek Congressional approval before taking us to war. Its nonsense to argue that, Well, Bush did it. Bull. President Bush received support from both Congress and a coalition of our allies for his wars, ironically the same wars Obama says he vehemently opposed because of lack of proof of Americas vital interests being at stake.
* Bottom line is that this is about President Obama saving political face because of his red line promise regarding chemical weapons.
* As I said before, if we are dangerously uncertain of the outcome and are led into war by a Commander-in-chief who cant recognize that this conflict is pitting Islamic extremists against an authoritarian regime with both sides shouting Allah Akbar at each other, then let Allah sort it out.
These are the introductory/conclusory points made surrounding this essay:
They promised us that, if we voted for Mitt Romney, wed have an incompetent foreign policy run by idiots and they were right. But they were right only because more people voted for Barack Obama.
457
In the past year alone (and at an escalating rate in the last week), weve watched Obamas Syrian policy go from stupid, with his red line talk; to more stupid, with his insistence on a delicate yet muscular strike at a date and time to be announced; to idiotic, with a turnaround that sees him insisting that this urgent matter can only be handled by lengthy Congressional debate; to truly delusional, as when he denied ever drawing a red line in the Syrian sand.

Sarah Palin, who has a knack for getting to the nub of an issue, took to Facebook to describe exactly whats going on now, and what went on in 2008 when the American people were so afraid of an inexperienced Vice President that they elected an even less experienced, not to mention socialist, President:

As for Mitt Romney, who tried to defeat Obama in 2012, he warned Americans that Obamas approach to the Middle East would end with disaster in Syria, and he was right, just as he was right about the problems that would come about from ObamaCare.
Americans were warnedand they didnt listen. Now they pay the price.
458
Compounding the sales problem confronting BHO is the comment just heard on the radio by Kudlow, who characterized BHOs speeches as recalling pitches by stockbrokers who werent truly convinced they were hawking a quality product; even MSNBC Thought Obamas Syria Speech [in St. Petersburg] Was Embarrassing & Unconvincing. Indeed, as a majority of congressional-vets-line-up-against-action- in-syria [except petraeus], 70% of Americans Don't Want US to Arm Syrian Rebels. As will be detailed, controversies swirling around Syria allow people to channel pent-up angst regarding BHOs leadership.

Sent: Saturday, September 07, 2013 9:54 PM Subject: Anti-BHO "blasts" Continue - CXXX [Syria "Blasts" from the Internet]
This blast e-mail was just received from Linda Rosen [Patriot of Lower Bucks, Doylestown, PA 18901, 215-262-3115+; her header is Please contact your representative and Senators and say no to attacking Syria [and] FORWARD TO OTHERS [because] Theres Strength In Numbers. [It has been reformatted, halving its length while retaining the myriad articles which are consistent with points made earlier.] Again deferred is a compilation of hyperlinks, but the key-point is that BHOs desire to launch a war should not be permitted; when Kerry suggested the Saudis would finance the bombing, the immediate reaction was to wonder whether the U.S. would become Mercenaries for Al-Qaeda and, indeed, noting the current balance of forces, the immediate reaction was first articulated by Dennis Kucinich when he claimed a Syria strike would turn US into 'al Qaeda's air force.' In any case, this blast e-mail is intended to capture the range of communications and documentation that has been flooding the Internet.
BHOs path to war [even if he attempts to limit the bombing to a finite time-frame] violates major principles of war, many of which served as the basis for his *& Kerrys+ scathing critique of Bush-43s approach to Iraq/Afghanistan; this includes NOT invoking the element of surprise, achieving critical-mass, having clearly-defined and readily- achievable objectives, hoping for the best but planning for the worst, and articulating an exit-strategy. It is not credible to suggest, for example, that the time-delay was endorsed by Gen. Dempsey; multiple reports suggest ASSAD is stashing WEAPONS AMONG CIVILIANS and is moving troops, even as BHO has asked the US military to revise the Syria strike plan 50 times. Indeed, during Congressional testimony, Kerry initially refused to rule-out use of U.S. ground troops in Syria, then backtracked.
Note these scenes of executions by rebels and of a rebel eating the heart of one of Assads soldiers; both have gone viral, and it seems no one from the rebel world has challenged their authenticity.

In contrast, these scenes of alleged-death from sarin gas [due to Assad] are FAKE; the people in the photo were not victims of sarin and they arent even dead, as per the description of sarin and its characteristic symptoms provided by the CDC (Center of Disease Control & Prevention).
1. Sarin makes the lungs unable to absorb oxygen, so that victims die of respiratory failure, that is, suffocation. As a result, a person dying of sarin appears blue, and after death looks blackened, particularly in the extremities. All of the victims shown have a very healthy even lively color. 2. Sarin also operates on the nervous system, causing victims to convulse violently violently enough to dislocate joints and break bones. As this veteran put it, their bodies look like human pretzels. These victims show no signs of such violent convulsions. In fact, none of them even show the characteristics of rigor mortis, particularly in the wrists, hands, and jaws. 3. Because sarin is a nerve agent that interferes with the respiratory system, its telltale effects on the body include: runny nose, watery eyes, drooling and excessive sweating, diarrhea, vomiting, and increased urination. And yet, the bodies, which have obviously not been cleaned because theyre still wearing clothes, are not covered in drool, snot, sweat, vomit, urine, or diarrhea. In fact, they are remarkably clean, particularly in the groin area of the underwear and pants. 461
4. Sarin is absorbed by the skin and by clothing, and is transferred by touch as well as by air. Also, a person who gets exposed to sarin by touch immediately knows it because it will cause nerve damage to the area touched, inducing local muscle twitching and sweating. And yet the man standing there is completely unprotected from the sarin that should be emanating from the victims bodies and clothing, even though he would immediately notice discomfort if he handled the bodies and would suffer from poisoning without wearing a proper breathing apparatus. 5. Because sarin is absorbed by clothing, the first treatment for exposure is to remove all clothes; yet, ALL of the victims still are wearing clothing. 6. Sarin doesnt do anything that would prompt placement of bandages on foreheads; indeed, people would probably want to remove any such covering. 7. The man standing is wearing US regulation Army camouflage pants. 8. In the hot weather of the Syrian summer, if these bodies were dead, they would promptly either show signs of rigor mortis or bloating. 9. Its highly unlikely that all of these victims died on their backs, and none show any sign of blood-pooling (which would occur, after coagulation, at the bodys lowest points); furthermore, if a body is later turned on its back, the dark-colored blood would remain where it had been, either on the front or the side of the body.
Syria Video Turns the Debate on U.S. Intervention: The tape made New York Times editors sick. Lloyd Grove on the footage of a rebel slaughter thats upended talk of an authorized U.S. intervention by Lloyd Grove Sep 6, 2013 4:30 AM EDT The Daily Beast The raw video was so grisly, and so barbaric, that the New York Times staffers who watched and edited it for online publication were made physically ill, according to the newspapers spokeswoman. Shortly after the Times posted it in the wee hours Thursday morning, the video went viral, leading the influential Drudge Report, proliferating on Twitter, Tumblr, and other social-media sites, and dominating cable news and broadcast outlets. It also became a tricky problem for the Obama White House. The scene of Syrian rebels standing over seven soldiers of the Syrian regular army while the rebel commander recited a bloodthirsty poemand pointing rifles and a pistol at the heads of their prostrate, shirtless, and badly beaten prisonerswas shocking enough. Times video editors tactfully blackened the screen as the rebelswho, just like the United States government, oppose the regime of dictator Bashar al-Assadbegan to execute the soldiers; the only indication of the slaughter taking place was a noisy fusillade of 10 seconds in length. Then an image flashed of the broken bodies in a mass grave. Atrocities of the Syrian Rebels (GRAPHIC, NSFW): Who are the FSA fighters? by Austin Petersen 04 Sep 2013 The Libertarian Republic As the US government debates on whether to assist Syrian rebels in their war against Bashar al- Assad, American citizens are learning more about their potential allies every day. The Free Syrian Army fighters are reportedly made up of al Nusra forces, which are al Qaeda affiliated 462
fighters who have committed incredible acts of brutality in their effort to gain control of the state. The war in Syria has raged for two years with over 100,000 casualties and has no clear ending. United States Secretary of State John Kerry has issued reports in the past week revealing that the government of Assad is using chemical weapons on its own people. The President of the United States Barack Obama has now reached his infamous red line, where he declared that the US will intervene to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe.The New York Times has reported that the president has deployed a group of CIA backed rebels, who have begun to make their way onto the battlefield. But the FSA fighters backed by the US government are not all likely to be so friendly to America if they do win. Despite enormous casualties and alleged gas attacks by Assad, rebel fighters have woven their own trail of devastation across the countryside, slaughtering innocents and murdering children in the name of Islam. Would America be more secure with a non-secular Syrian government?... (To see the gruesome videos posted by the terrorists oops! I mean our allies in the fight to topple Assad click the headlines link. Dave) Putin presses US Congress over Syria, says Kerry lied MOSCOW Wed Sep 4, 2013 10:23am EDT Reuters Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday the U.S. Congress had no right to approve the use of force against Syria without a decision from the U.N. Security Council, and that doing so would be an "act of aggression". He said "anything that is outside the U.N. Security Council is aggression, except self-defense. Now what Congress and the U.S. Senate are doing in essence is legitimizing aggression. This is inadmissible in principle." In remarks that could raise tension further before he hosts President Barack Obama and other G20 leaders on Thursday, Putin also said U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry lied to Congress about the militant group al Qaeda's role in the Syrian conflict. "They lie beautifully, of course. I saw debates in Congress. A congressman asks Mr. Kerry: 'Is al Qaeda there?' He says: 'No, I am telling you responsibly that it is not'," Putin said at a meeting of his human rights council in the Kremlin. "Al Qaeda units are the main military echelon, and they know this," he said, referring to the United States. "It was unpleasant and surprising for me - we talk to them, we proceed from the assumption that they are decent people. But he is lying and knows he is lying. It's sad." Kerry portrait of Syria rebels at odds with intelligence reports By Mark Hosenball & Phil Stewart WASHINGTON | Thu Sep 5, 2013 1:11am EDT Reuters Secretary of State John Kerry's public assertions that moderate Syrian opposition groups are growing in influence appear to be at odds with estimates by U.S. and European intelligence 463
sources and nongovernmental experts, who say Islamic extremists remain by far the fiercest and best-organized rebel elements. Revealed: Pentagon knew in 2012 that it would take 75,000 GROUND TROOPS to secure Syria's chemical weapons facilities By David Martosko 5 September 2013 The Daily Mail (UK) Securing Syria's chemical weapons stockpiles and the facilities that produced them would likely require the U.S. to send more than 75,000 ground troops into the Middle Eastern country, MailOnline learned Wednesday. That estimate comes from a secret memorandum the U.S. Department of Defense prepared for President Obama in early 2012. U.S. Central Command arrived at the figure of 75,000 ground troops as part of a written series of military options for dealing with Bashar al-Assad more than 18 months ago, long before the U.S. confirmed internally that the Syrian dictator was using the weapons against rebel factions within his borders. 'The report exists, and it was prepared at the request of the National Security Advisor's staff,' a Department of Defense official with knowledge of the inquiry told MailOnline Wednesday on condition of anonymity. 'DoD spent lots of time and resources on it. Everyone understood that this wasn't a pointless exercise, and that eventually we would be tasked with going and getting the VX and sarin, so there was lots of due diligence.' The logistical difficulties of bringing Syria's chemical warfare infrastructure under control stands in stark contrast with the text of a resolution passed Wednesday by a powerful Senate committee, and with assurances Secretary of State John Kerry has given committees in both houses of Congress. The War Powers Resolution, which passed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee late Wednesday on a bipartisan 10-7 vote, includes text noting that it 'does not authorize the use of the United States Armed Forces on the ground in Syria for the purpose of combat operations.' If President Obama were to deploy ground forces in Syria, the final words of that phrase 'for the purpose of combat operations' could become a loophole large enough to drive a Humvee through. Speaking to the committee on Tuesday as he made the case for a congressional authorization to bomb critical Syrian military sites, Kerry seemed to leave open the possibility that 'boots on the ground' could be marshaled specifically to secure chemical weapons stockpiles 'in the event Syria imploded, for instance.' Kerry also mused on a scenario in which 'there was a threat of a chemical weapons cache falling into the hands of al-Nusra or someone else and it was clearly in the interest of our allies and all of us the British, the French and others to prevent those weapons of mass destruction falling into the hands of the worst elements.' 464
'I dont want to take off the table an option that might or might not be available to a president of the United States to secure our country,' Kerry concluded Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL): Syria Intelligence Manipulated By Steven Nelson September 5, 2013 US News And World Report Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., who is aggressively lobbying against a military strike on Syria, says the Obama administration has manipulated intelligence to push its case for U.S. involvement in the country's two-year civil war. Grayson made the accusation in an interview published Wednesday by The Atlantic and offered more detail in a Thursday discussion with U.S. News. He says members of Congress are being given intelligence briefings without any evidence to support administration claims that Syrian leader Bashar Assad ordered the use of chemical weapons. Grayson said he cannot discuss the classified briefings, but noted details in the administration's public, non-classified report are being contested. The White House released its four-page public report Aug. 30, arguing that Assad's government killed 1,429 people on Aug. 21 with a planned chemical weapon attack. Evidence cited in that report included "intercepted communications involving a senior official intimately familiar with the offensive who confirmed that chemical weapons were used." Grayson, however, says "the claim has been made that that information was completely mischaracterized." He points to an article published by The Daily Caller that alleges the communications actually showed Syrian officers were surprised by the alleged chemical weapon attack. The communications, according to unnamed sources paraphrased in article, were intercepted by Israeli intelligence and "doctored so that it leads a reader to just the opposite conclusion." "What they say in The Daily Caller is that [intercepted communications] would lead one to the opposite conclusion," Grayson said. "I don't know if it's right or wrong, [but] there's a very simple way to find out, that's for the administration to show me and other members of Congress" translated transcripts of the intercepts, he said Everyone in This Syria Play is a Liar September 05, 2013 The Rush Limbaugh Show Trascript RUSH: Folks, the Syria news today -- it was bad yesterday. It was embarrassing yesterday. Today the whole world is laughing at us, and I am not kidding. Even liberals. Even these wacko Looney Tunes pajama-clad website posters, these progressives, as they call themselves. These people think Obama and Kerry are lying to 'em. They don't want another war. They don't want a single missile launched ever. They think they're being lied to. I mean, Obama doesn't even have his base on this. And according to whip counts and head counts right now, it looks like Obama's request for a congressional authorization for the use of 465
force in the Syria isn't going to pass the House, after all, thanks to those obstreperous Republicans. Now, for those of you in Rio Linda, that means stubborn. So everything is going according to plan. Once again Obama will be able to blame the evil House Republicans for all of the nerve gas damage that's taking place in Syria. Now, you know, Vladimir Putin is saying that Obama and Kerry are lying. And I don't know about you, but I find myself to be in a really curious situation. Who do I believe, Vladimir Putin or Barack Obama and John Kerry? See, this may be a little tough to hear, but I know that John Kerry lies about things. I know that Barack Obama big time misrepresents things. That's what the whole Limbaugh Theorem is. I know liberals lie as a matter of course. They have to. We know that they lied about Benghazi and the stupid video. So here they're telling us one thing, and Putin says, "No, no, no, no, it's just the exact opposite." Russia says they have compiled a 100-page report blaming the Syrian rebels for the chemical weapons attack, not Assad, just as we reported on this program on Tuesday. A 100-page report. Now, I don't know about you, but what does it feel like to have to agree with a former KGB agent? "The Russian statement warned the United States and its allies --" which, in this case, is France "-- not to conduct a military strike against Syria until the United Nations had completed a similarly detailed scientific study into the August 21st attack." Russia's done their own. It's a 100-page report. Russia has found that the Syrian rebels did the attack. Now, if you think, "Yeah, come on, Rush, don't fall for this. I mean, this is Putin. This is Russia." I know. But the New York Times, which is Obama's Bible, the New York Times: "Brutality of Syrian Rebels Posing Dilemma in West." You see, the regime has tried once again to portray the rebels in Syria, the enemies of Bashar Assad, as innocent, harmless men, women and children being forced out of their homes, wandering aimless in the Syrian desert. Don't have any guns; don't have any weapons; don't have anything; don't have any food; don't have any water; don't have any nurse;, don't have any doctors. This is the picture, the rebels, the anti-Assad forces, people, I mean, they are God's gift. And even the New York Times: "The Syrian rebels posed casually, standing over their prisoners with firearms pointed down at the shirtless and terrified men Sign the Petition to Stop U.S. Assistance to al Qaeda in Syria. The United States is at war with al Qaeda; it must not help al Qaeda. Syrian rebels affiliated with al Qaeda and other jihadist groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood, have committed atrocities across Syria. They murdered a Catholic priest. They slaughtered civilians and regime prisoners. They attacked a Christian village even while Congress debated intervention, shelling nuns and other civilians. They cut out and ate the hearts of their enemies and brazenly recorded it for the Internet. The Assad regime's use of chemical weapons is horrific, but the U.S. must not support jihad in Syria. Sign the Petition to Stop U.S. Assistance to al Qaeda in Syria. 466
Jay Sekulow ACLJ Chief Counsel American Center for Law and Justice Catholic Patriarch of Syria: U.S. Attack on Syria Would Be Criminal Act September 3, 2013 - 11:40 AM By Michael W. Chapman CNS News (CNSNews.com) Were the Obama administration to launch an attack on Syria, as President Obama has said he intends to do, it would be a criminal act, which will only reap more victims, said Gregory III, the leader of the Greek Catholic Church in Syria and Lebanon. We must listen to the Popes appeal for peace in Syria, said Patriarch Gregory III. If Western countries want to create true democracy then they must build it on reconciliation, through dialogue between Christians and Muslims, not with weapons. This attack being planned by the United States is a criminal act, which will only reap more victims, in addition to the tens of thousands of these two years of war.

Every day, Islamic extremists from all over the world are pouring into Syria with the sole intent to kill and not one country has done anything to stop them, even the U.S. has decided to send in more weapons. Iran threatens brutal attacks on Americans, Obama family if US hits Syria 4:08 PM 09/05/2013 Reza Kahlili The Daily Caller As Congress debates whether to support President Obamas call for a limited strike against Syria for the alleged use of chemical weapons, Iran is vowing to back Bashar al-Assads regime to the hilt and threatening to unleash terrorism should the U.S. strike. Qassem Soleimani, the head of Irans Quds Forces, Wednesday told the Assembly of Experts the body that chooses the supreme leader that *w+e will support Syria to the end. And in an unprecedented statement, a former Iranian official has warned of mass abductions and brutal killings of American citizens around the world and the rape and killing of one of Obamas daughters should the United States attack Syria. Alireza Forghani, the former governor of southern Irans Kish Province, threw down the gauntlet last week. Forghani is an analyst and strategy specialist in the supreme leaders camp and closely aligned with Mehdi Taeb, who heads the regimes Ammar Strategic Base, a radical think thank, and thus speaks with the blessing of the Islamic regime. Hopefully Obama will be pigheaded enough to attack Syria, and then we will see the loss of U.S. interests *through terrorist attacks+, he threatened. In just 21 hours *after the attack on 467

Russia gave UN 100-page report in July blaming Syrian rebels for Aleppo sarin attack By Matthew Schofield, McClatchy Foreign Staff September 5, 2013 McClatchy BERLIN Russia says a deadly March sarin attack in an Aleppo suburb was carried out by Syrian rebels, not forces loyal to President Bashar Assad, and it has delivered a 100-page report laying out its evidence to the United Nations. A statement posted on the Russian Foreign Ministry website late Wednesday said the report included detailed scientific analysis of samples that Russian technicians collected at the site of the alleged attack, Khan al Asal in northern Syria. The attack killed 26 people. A U.N. spokesman, Farhan Haq, confirmed that Russia delivered the report in July. The report itself was not released. But the statement drew a pointed comparison between what it said was the scientific detail of the report and the far shorter intelligence summaries that the United States, Britain and France have released to justify their assertion that the Syrian government launched chemical weapons against Damascus suburbs on Aug. 21. The longest of those summaries, by the French, ran nine pages. Each relies primarily on circumstantial evidence to make its case, and they disagree with one another on some details, including the number of people who died in the attack. The Russian statement warned the United States and its allies not to conduct a military strike against Syria until the United Nations had completed a similarly detailed scientific study into the Aug. 21 attack. It charged that what it called the current hysteria about a possible military strike in the West was similar to the false claims and poor intelligence that preceded the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 468
Did the White House Help Plan the Syrian Chemical Attack? By Yossef Bodansky Global Research, September 01, 2013 Global Research There is a growing volume of new evidence from numerous sources in the Middle East mostly affiliated with the Syrian opposition and its sponsors and supporters which makes a very strong case, based on solid circumstantial evidence, that the August 21, 2013, chemical strike in the Damascus suburbs was indeed a pre-meditated provocation by the Syrian opposition. The extent of US foreknowledge of this provocation needs further investigation because available data puts the horror of the Barack Obama White House in a different and disturbing light. On August 13-14, 2013, Western-sponsored opposition forces in Turkey started advance preparations for a major and irregular military surge. Initial meetings between senior opposition military commanders and representatives of Qatari, Turkish, and US Intelligence *Mukhabarat Amriki+ took place at the converted Turkish military garrison in Antakya, Hatay Province, used as the command center and headquarters of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and their foreign sponsors. Very senior opposition commanders who had arrived from Istanbul briefed the regional commanders of an imminent escalation in the fighting due to a war-changing development which would, in turn, lead to a US-led bombing of Syria. The opposition forces had to quickly prepare their forces for exploiting the US-led bombing in order to march on Damascus and topple the Bashar al-Assad Government, the senior commanders explained. The Qatari and Turkish intelligence officials assured the Syrian regional commanders that they would be provided with plenty of weapons for the coming offensive. Indeed, unprecedented weapons distribution started in all opposition camps in Hatay Province on August 21-23, 2013. In the Reyhanli area alone, opposition forces received well in excess of 400 tons of weapons, mainly anti-aircraft weaponry from shoulder-fired missiles to ammunition for light-guns and machineguns. The weapons were distributed from store-houses controlled by Qatari and Turkish Intelligence under the tight supervision of US Intelligence Being Your Own Man September 4th, 2013 - 1:13 pm by Richard Fernandez PJ Media The Washington Post notes that certain Arab countries have offered to pay for the invasion of Syria. Secretary of State John Kerry said at Wednesdays hearing that Arab counties have offered to pay for the entirety of unseating President Bashar al-Assad if the United States took the lead militarily. With respect to Arab countries offering to bear costs and to assess, the answer is profoundly yes. They have. That offer is on the table. Asked by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) about how much those countries would contribute, Kerry said they have offered to pay for all of a full invasion. 469

Delegate: Only Democrat Loyalty Can Save Obama on Syria Sep. 3, 2013 10:00pm Becket Adams The Blaze Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) is uncertain about the of the prospect of the U.S. striking Syria, but the non-voting D.C. delegate to Congress said she could see herself voting out of loyalty to the Democrat Party and President Barrack Obama. Speaking during the Bill Press show Tuesday morning, Del. Norton explained that the situation in Syria requires attention, but shes not sure if the response should involve the U.S. military. I cant believe that the only way to address it is a slight bombing which will somehow punish somebody or deter somebody, she said. The shows host then asked if it would be justified for the president to act even if Congress says, no. No, oh boy, no, she answered. I think itll be like the red line trap. He said if the red line you cross it. I think once you say, Im going to Congress, you cant say, Okay, Im going to do it anyway. Its important to note that Del. Norton cannot actually cost a vote in the debate. Still, she told Press: If *Obama+ gets saved at all, I think itll be because, itll be because of loyalty of Democrats. They just dont want to see him shamed and humiliated on the national stage. A war the Pentagon doesnt want By Robert H. Scales Published: September 5 The Washington Post Robert H.

Significantly Larger Than Most Anticipated: 'This military strike could do more damage to Assad's forces in 48 hours than the Syrian rebels have done in nearly two years of civil war' BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff September 5, 2013 7:53 pm ABCs Jonathan Karl reported President Obamas plan for a Syrian strike could be significantly larger than most anticipated Thursday on World News Tonight. Karl quoted an unnamed national security official who claimed the attack could do more damage to Assad in 48 hours than the Syrian rebels have done in two years: JONATHAN KARL: *+ ABC News has learned the presidents national security team is preparing for a significantly larger military attack than most had anticipated. The air campaign which is expected to last at least two days will potentially include an aerial bombardment of missiles and long range bombs fired from B-2 and B-52 bombers flying from the United States. That in addition to a relentless assault of Tomahawk missiles fired from those four Navy destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean. Those ships are loaded with nearly 200 missiles, plans call for firing the vast majority of them. As one senior national security official told ABC News, this military strike could do more damage to Assads forces in 48 hours than the Syrian rebels have done in nearly two years of civil war. Thats more than President Obama seemed to be suggesting just days ago GOP Congressman and Marine Corps Vet Pulls Support for Syria Strike: The Presidents Leadership Has Degraded Sep. 6, 2013 12:40pm Madeleine Morgenstern The Blaze Rep.

Grimm (R-N.Y.) first said he supported taking action against President Bashar Assads regime, but announced Thursday he had changed his mind. Whats changed the most is the presidents leadership has degraded, Grimm said Friday on Fox News. Grimm, a Marine Corps veteran, said he first backed the president because he wanted to support the commander in chief. It seems like he has done just about everything he can to bungle this and I really have lost faith in his ability as the commander in chief to handle this crisis in Syria, Grimm said 471
US Officials: US Considers Training Syria Rebels WASHINGTON September 6, 2013 By LOLITA C. BALDOR AP & ABC News The Obama administration is considering a plan to use U.S. military trainers to help increase the capabilities of the Syrian rebels, in a move that would greatly expand the current CIA training being done quietly in Jordan, U.S. officials told The Associated Press on Thursday. Any training would take place outside Syria, and one possible location would be Jordan 17 Reasons that Going to War with Syria is a Mistake Even if Congress Declares War September 5, 2013 by William Lafferty Freedom Outpost Whether one or several nations should attack Syria for its use of chemical weapons is a matter of international law. If the security of the United States were at issue, it would be a matter of domestic law. Absent an emergency, military response by the United States would require a declaration of war by the Congress and implementation of the declaration by the president. Make no mistake: the firing of missiles into a foreign state is an act of war. If a Russian warship anchored near New York fired a series of missiles into the mainland United States, few of us would have difficulty saying that was an act of war. In the United States, we have only one way under the constitution to go to war: the Congress must declare war and the president must carry out Congress's order. If what is going on now in the Congress is other than a declaration of war, say a resolution of support or approval that will not serve as a legal basis for war to be initiated. And that brings us to the wisdom of going to war. Suppose the Congress declares war, what are the reasons that would be a mistake? 1. The United States has not been attacked. 2. The security of the United States is not at issue, and war should always be a response of last resort to a threat to our security. 3. No international body has determined that a human rights violation did in fact occur Obama Says Intervention in Blitz, Kosovo, Rwanda Was Also Unpopular, Promises to address American people on Syria Tuesday; won't say whether he'll go around Congress if he doesn't get authorization By Bridget Johnson September 6, 2013 - 8:50 am PJ Media President Obama remained fuzzy on whether hell strike at Bashar al-Assad without approval from Congress, telling reporters at the G-20 summit in St. Petersburg that he wont engage in parlor games before the whipping and final vote is done. 472
Insisting hes not itching for a military action, the president also compared the current situation Americans face to the intervention questions posed by the blitzkrieg on Britain and the Rwandan genocide, noting that getting involved today probably wouldnt poll very well. Obamas statement at the press conference focused on economic issues, yet even as we focused on our shared prosperity and although the primary task of the G-20 is to focus on our joint efforts to boost the global economy we did also discuss a grave threat to our shared security: and thats the Syrian regimes use of chemical weapons. He announced that he would directly make a case to the American people from the White House on Tuesday. Syrias neighbor Iraq in midst of violent upheaval by Jim Kouri September 5, 2013 Conservative Action Alerts While the eyes of most world leaders are focused on Syria, 56 people were killed and another 170 were wounded in separate attacks in Syrias neighboring Arab country, Iraq, on Tuesday, according to a police source who monitors Islamist terrorist bombings. At least one dozen car bombing attacks were perpetrated throughout the Iraqi capital of Baghdad. The areas attacked were mostly-Shiite neighborhoods. As a result of the 12 bombings, 47 people were killed and approximately 160 others were wounded, said Mike Snopes, a former military intelligence officer and police detective who now serves as a consultant for a number of U.S. and multinational corporations. According to various reports gathered by Snopes: * Eight Iraqis died and 28 others sustained wounds when two cars containing improvised explosive devices (IEDs) exploded in a crowded marketplace in Baghdad. * In another bombing, an IED loaded into an automobile exploded near a restaurant in eastern Baghdad, killing eight civilians and wounding 25 others. Earlier in the day, four people were killed and 14 were wounded in a car IED blast in the same area, Snopes added. * In yet another similar IED explosion in southwest Baghdad, seven people were mortally wounded and several others were seriously injured. * In the southeastern part of the city, a car bomb explosion killed four pedestrians and wounded 14 others. The prime suspects for these bombings and terrorist attacks is al-Qaeda in Iraq, although the group changed its name last month to its new name the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS clearly expressing the organizations ideological inclinations and political aspirations, according to Al-Monitor. Tuesdays terrorist attacks were not all bombings, with an incident occurring in southern Iraq in which several masked gunmen perpetrated a home invasion and murdered a man, his wife and 473
their three children. Gunmen also killed two civilians in a street ambush in Baghdads business district, according to Det. Snopes. The death toll from violence in Iraq in August 2013 was 841, according to a United Nations report released on Sept. 1, 2013.
Syrian Electronic Army hacks Marines website By Associated Press September 2, 2013 New York Post WASHINGTON Pro-Assad computer hackers today broke into the Marine Corps recruiting website, redirecting visitors to a screed that called President Barack Obama a traitor who wants to put your lives in danger to rescue al- Qaida insurgents. A Marine Corps spokesman confirmed that the site, marines.com, was tampered with and redirected temporarily, but no information was put at risk. Capt. Eric Flanagan wouldnt say who was responsible for the hacking, but the site was redirected to a message from the Syrian Electronic Army, a hacker group thats claimed responsibility for disrupting the New York Times website, Twitter and other media sites the group sees as sympathetic to Syrias rebels. The message to the Marine Corps was a plea for Americans to fight alongside the Syrian army and not aide the rebels. President Barack Obama is seeking congressional approval for U.S. military intervention in Syria in response to the suspected August chemical weapons attack on Syrian rebels who are trying to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad from power. The full message as it appeared on the redirected site is below:

THE CASE FOR DEFUNDING OBAMACARE
Congress is poised to vote on an issue that will define the American Experience for decades to come. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, more widely known as ObamaCare, is perhaps the most calamitous law this nation has ever seen. It will destroy the doctor/patient relationship, place critical health care decisions in the hands of government bureaucrats, and rely on enforcement by the nations tax collecting apparatus.
Worse yet, this monstrosity is not even close to being ready. ObamaCare has no mechanism to verify the status of applicants, inviting massive fraud. The data hub into which we will enter our most personal and private health and financial information is vulnerable to identity thieves. Health insurance premiums are set to skyrocket for millions of Americans and the program is destined to bankrupt the nation.
476
The law is so awful, Congress itself has been exempted from major portions of it, along with big business and labor unions which argue that ObamaCare will destroy the 40-hour work week. The presidents special dispensations on ObamaCare shred the rule of law and reek of despotism.
Small wonder that ObamaCare has been described as a train wreck; not by conservatives or congressional Republicans but by the laws chief Senate patron, Max Baucus, Montanas Democrat senator.
Every single Republican Member of Congress has either voted against ObamaCare or voiced their opposition to it. Yet now that Congress has a real opportunity to prevent this monstrosity from being inflicted on the American people, many Republicans are chickening out on the one thing that can stop ObamaCare in its tracks.
Sen. Mike Lee of Utah and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas are spearheading the effort to rally their fellow Republicans to pledge their support for a Continuing Resolution that funds the entire federal government except ObamaCare.
Some Republicans have engaged in petty bickering over this effort, calling it dumb and silly. But this sort of schoolyard taunting runs the risk of allowing the ObamaCare train wreck to embed itself in the government bureaucracy.
Other Republicans say they want to repeal ObamaCare, but the House has voted on such a measure dozens of times with no effect. Another approach proposes eliminating certain portions of ObamaCare, but no amount of tinkering around the edges can forestall the terrible impact of this law. It is like a mythical Hydra; cut off one head and two more grow back in its place.
The hard truth is that the only realistic way to stop ObamaCare is to defund it, and the best way to accomplishing this is through the Continuing Resolution pending in Congress which funds all of the federal government except ObamaCare. There is absolutely no reason why this cannot be done. The proposal by Lee, Cruz, and others mirrors a relatively routine procedure which Congress has undertaken many times over several decades.
Why would so many Republicans fear this approach? Some argue that the GOP will be tarred with the lie of trying to shut down the federal government, hurting their prospects for the 2014 midterm elections. In fact, not one Republican proposes to shut down the government by defunding ObamaCare, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar.
Notwithstanding the terrible effect ObamaCare will have on the American people, Republicans who refuse to defund it will face a backlash from their constituents. Congressional Republicans can no longer get away with telling the voters they are doing everything they can to stop ObamaCare but then refuse to defund it.
The voters are no longer fooled by this sort of rhetorical deception. By not defunding ObamaCare, Republicans risk losing their majority in the House and slipping below 40 seats in the Senate, the effects of which would be a devastating free reign for President 477
Obama and a Democrat-controlled Congress. It is absolutely stunning that House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell do not see the enormous risk they and their party face by allowing ObamaCare to take hold.
In spite of all the complexities surrounding ObamaCare, the proposition of defunding it is simple; if you vote to fund ObamaCare, you own it. Republicans who follow such a path will have lost the conservatives who voted them into office and face the prospect of the 2014 campaign being their last.

They are embarrassed to be associated with the amateurism of the Obama administrations attempts to craft a plan that makes strategic sense. None of the White House staff has any experience in war or understands it. So far, at least, this path to war violates every principle of war, including the element of surprise, achieving mass and having a clearly defined and obtainable objective.
They are repelled by the hypocrisy of a media blitz that warns against the return of Hitlerism but privately acknowledges that the motive for risking American lives is our responsibility to protect the worlds innocents. Prospective U.S. action in Syria is not about threats to American security. The U.S. militarys civilian masters privately are proud that they are motivated by guilt over slaughters in Rwanda, Sudan and Kosovo and not by any systemic threat to our country.
They are outraged by the fact that what may happen is an act of war and a willingness to risk American lives to make up for a slip of the tongue about red lines. These acts would be for retribution and to restore the reputation of a president. Our serving professionals make the point that killing more Syrians wont deter Iranian resolve to confront us. The Iranians have already gotten the message.
Guzzardi: This article was cited with approval by Barry Rubin at PJMedia 8 September 2013 in a very edgy article on the feckless of our commander-in-chief. A missile attack is an act of war. Where is the UN and where is the international community? An act of war because of a slip of the tongue?
And it does appear, as Barry Rubin says, that the Obama Administration wants to arm the Jihadists attacking the Syrian dictator. He may have done so already.

Oppose: As ill-advised interventions continue to weaken public confidence in a forceful foreign policy, any short-term gains in our credibility abroad are being more than canceled-out by long-term losses in public will here at home.
Consider in this light two of the most articulate defenses of a Syrian intervention, James Ceasars from the right, and Samantha Powers from the left.
Ceasar argues that, even if President Obamas Syria policies stem from blunders, are ineffective, and entail unforeseen risks, we must back him regardless, to preserve Americas credibility abroad. This argument has force insofar as it applies to the immediate after-effects of congressional approval. Yet the matter doesnt end there. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/357887/public-opinion-and-syria-strike- stanley-kurtz
Guzzardi: Americans do not trust government and, thus, do not support a flawed tactic with unpredictable consequences; they do not have faith in a feckless President who did not even defend our Libyan Ambassador and played Spades while SEALs risked their lives to kill Osama bin Laden.
U.S. voters and citizens who oppose this intervention may appear to be isolationists, but they arent; calling them names only alienates them, and does not engender support.
As do all complicated matters, any intervention will have unintended consequences that may prove counterproductive; it is not "isolationist" to oppose an action that could endanger American lives.
There are boots on the ground in Jordan, already placed into harms way; for the record, I am a Zionist, not a lobbyist for the Netanyahu government.
*** While the credibility of an American president is no small thing, it is simply wrong to equate Barack Obamas credibility with that of the United States, as the editors do: The other [option left to Congress besides green-lighting an attack on Syria] is to turn *Obama+ down and destroy the presidents credibility, and hence the nations. (Emphasis added.) Ironically, their editorial goes on to deride conservative opponents of military intervention as overly simplistic. But it is the editors who oversimplify matters. 481
American credibility on the international stage is bound up in the recognition of, and willingness to act on, vital national interests.

Pushed on the Bandwagon - Obama's Syria plan forced AIPAC's hand [by Steven J. Rosen]
http://tinyurl.com/nyaj3s4 ,The title speaks for itself.-
Guzzardi: Backing a bad policy is not the best way to engage in the Middle East; there is no reason to think that Obama will attack Iran the way he is attacking Syria.
Obama has not been a great friend to Israel; weapons and military cooperation do not win the war of ideas.
Steve Rosen mistakenly exaggerates influence of Rand Paul and "isolationists"; AIPAC is dominated by Liberal Democratic Obama supporters and enablers.
Personnel is policy and every Democrat enthusiastically worked and contributed to the election of Barack Hussein Obama; he set forth his pro-Muslim Brotherhood policies in Cairo in June, 2009.
We are witnessing execution of the flawed tactic of a feckless president and his Administration; hurting Assad helps Islamists.
Rand Paul may have correctly claimed that US intervention in the Middle East has not been a stunning success for the US.; Ariel Sharon thought Gaza Withdrawal was a good idea and Israelis welcomed Yasir Arafat and PLO back to position of power and influence.
Netanyahu backed the Wye Accords; AIPAC still endorses the Terrorist State Solution (sometimes called the Two-State Solution).
There is nothing isolationist about rejecting a flawed policy that strengthens Radical Islamists; it is unclear how supporting Barack Obama inures to Israel's benefit. 482

For a perspective of how this environment mirrors that of post-WW-II Dictatorships, it is advised that a recent movie [The Lives of Others] and this history-of-whistleblowers be noted, for Whistle-blowers pay the price under BHO [e.g., marine-who-warned-of-insider-attack- threat-facing-careers-end]. And to appreciate how PA can be recruited to opt-out of cooperating with excess NSA-surveillance, note The Liberty Preservation Act SB999 will make it illegal for Pennsylvania to assist the Federal Government in detaining citizens under the NDAA; Nat Hentoff [well-respected for decades] claims Our liberties can survive BHO, but its difficult to be sanguine when revelations seemed to be emerging on a daily basis that kept forcing BHOs spokespeople to admit they had misspoken [despite, also, courageous iterations by such people as Judge Jeanine Pirro, when she claimed, of BHO, "No One Is Afraid Of You" on 8-24-13].

Regarding the IRS, revealed anew was that the irs-spent-taxpayer-money-on an apprentice-parody-video [new-irs-parody-surfaces-spoofs-the-apprentice], even as the irs-was-targeting-the-american-legion [having Required American Legion Posts Provide Membership Info Or Face Fine, clear harassment]; also, aired by cbs was the-strange-case-of-true-the-vote-vs-the-irs-and-lots-of-other-bureaucrats, while CNN Donated 42 Minutes to Puff Obama Interview [as he Hyped New Dog] failing to query IRS Scandal. Revealed also was that, in 2012, IRS & DOJ Aided Pro-Obama Nonprofits and BHOs Brother, Malik Obama, was Directly Tied To Muslim Brotherhood & Lois Lerner Helped Provide Him Tax Exempt Status. Nevertheless, although some viewed these irs-blunders-grounds-for-impeachment, the current status is that the origins [per a tape of Lerner+ can be traced to the period after the SCOTUSs Citizens United decision [when she claimed she was being pressured to do something] and that the communications of what was transpiring thereafter reached into the General Counsels Office [a POTUS-appointee].
Regarding BenghaziGate, it has been revealed that the Syrian Sideshow Hides New FOIA Report that documents BHO Let Them Die because the United States had trained resources on hand to assist and defend Americans under attack during the Benghazi Massacre; indeed, as noted previously, some claim BHO-covered-up-missile-theft [comparable to Iran-Contra] due to efforts to send armaments to Syria.
Kerry reinstated the four DoS-officials who had taken the fall earlier this year, and then he claimed we-got-a-lot-more-important-things-to-move-on-to; that may explain why BHO Will Hold No One Responsible for Benghazi and the team-involved-in-tracking- benghazi-suspects-pulled-out, thereby Leaving Libya Empty-handed and yielding the sad conclusion that no one is investigating the attack on the consulate/annex in Benghazi. Indeed, cia-personnel-in-benghazi-were-silenced-with-threats-to-their-families-by-BHO.
No one reacted after Clinton's State was told Benghazi was a 'terrorist attack' minutes after it had began because, it has been alleged, BHO-financed-benghazi-terrorists and BHO-bankrolled-attack-on-the- benghazi-consulate for reasons aforementioned. This may also explain why, although Intelligence about the Benghazi attacks was given to Hillary last November [but wasnt acted on], a benghazi-victims- mother-concluded hillary-doesnt-give-a-damn-about-you. These allegations prompt some to claim that Hillarys Infamous Benghazi Outburst is given new meaning, for she has yet to divulge the tick-tock.
485
The implications of this debacle were illustrated when a pakistan-jihad-commander- urged-muslim-youth-to-replicate-benghazi (assault-and-destroy); plumbing key-inter- relationships behind benghazi [muslim-brotherhood-and-BHO-administration] could carry graver implications regarding BHOs foreign policy *and how Syria is revelatory+.
The republican assemblies has noted that conservative-groups launched a remember-benghazi campaign on social-media, hoping to Hold Obama Accountable for Benghazi Scandal; also, a Special Operators Group Called-Out Boehner On Benghazi. It may be wise to grant Hillary immunity and then grill her regarding what transpired before/during/after, inasmuch as she appears sufficiently healthy to be engaged in a fiscally-rewarding speaking-tour [including to Philly, c/o Jeb Bush, later this week].
AG-Holder survives unscathed, apparently, as evidence of his incompetence continues to pile-up [and the revelation of key-documents from Fast-and-Furious remains stuck in Federal Court]; for example, although some may scoff at the fact that drug-agents-used-a vast-phone-trove-[eclipsing-the nsas], others feel this effort to engage in discovery-legerdemain may yield a deluge of overturned convictions. More serious is the fact that BHO Justifies FEMA imprisonment of civilians, the fact that the new- director-plans to follow the same direction-at-the-bureau-of-alcohol-tobacco-firearms-and-explosives, and the fact that Emails Prove FBI Could Have Prevented Fort Hood Attack; most serious is the lack of any investigation into extortion-17, when bodies-of-the-22-slain-seal-team-6-members were cremated- without-their-families-permission and the Mother of slain SEAL attacked VP Bidens loose lips, claiming He should be in prison for high crimes and treason. As it was revealed that S&P called a US lawsuit retaliation for stripping the US Government of its AAA rating, some have again assembled a rather tight case-for-impeaching-eric-holder although *as is to be discussed in the future+ this would be cinema.
486
Regarding the NSA, incremental revelations were numbing, prompting the dni-to-annually-release- telecom-national-security-info; an oversight-panel is to be led by cass-sunstein [viewed by some as americas-joseph-goebbles], noting that this review-panel-lacks-tech-industry-reps and, thus, shady- foxes-are to-guard-nsa-henhouse. Even if those who were Watergate-Freaks [such as this physician] were to ponder if nsa-is having-flashbacks-to-watergate, most would conclude that the fact that the NSA-analysts-admitted intentionally-abusing-spying-powers-multiple-times [and that Clapper apologized for 'Inadvertently, Accidentally' engaging in abuses such as Pulling Emails of Americans] will allow the perpetrators to skate from any meaningful prosecution. This entity is so well insulated that even outrageous claims [e.g., Feds-say-its-classified-info-to-say-who-were-at war-with] are ignored; indeed, it has even been purported that sales-of-public-data-to-marketers-can-mean-big-$ for-governments.
Some claim Snowden, the nsa-leaker, was outed-as-russian-agent because he may have Stayed at Russian Consulate in Hong Kong and may have sought the NSA-job so that he could subsequently leak; others note Snowden won a whistleblower award in Germany and was able to bypass electronic logs, thereby complicating the task of determining what he had placed into his computer. Pundits may yelp [e.g., what-snowden-and- manning-dont-understand-about-secrecy] but, ultimately, the import of this episode extends into how vetting-companies failed in this instance [n.b., 1 in 5 CIA Applicants Tied to Terror Groups+ and, thus, could also fail when/if assessing navigators who have been hired to assist people to sign-up with ObamaCare [accessing key-data].
Sen. Corker claimed, understandably, that Congress Doesn't Know the Extent of NSA Surveillance, even as it was revealed that the NSA hacked the UN HEADQUARTERS and at least one video-teleconference, spied on Presidents [BRAZIL and MEXICO], mined facebook, tapped AL JAZEERA, accessed all-e-mails-at salt-lake-city-before/after-olympics, eavesdropped on employees love interests & significant others, and logged phone-records [which prompted the nra to support an-aclu-lawsuit, strange bedfellows]. Although BHO claimed there were No Allegations NSA Is Trying to 'Listen in On People's Email,' it was admitted that nsa-analysts-intentionally-abused-their spying-powers-multiple-times. Therefore, it is known that the NSA is Spying on Americans despite Obama Claims, even as [perhaps attempting to evince a semblance of TRANSPARENCY], the Director of National Intelligence started a Tumblr blog.
Of great import was the revelation that 72 types of americans-are considered-potential- terrorists, per official-government-documents, prompting some conservatives to fear they had been deemed-enemies-of-the-state. In this regard, revealed were Hundreds of words to avoid using online to decrease the risk of spying by the government (including 'pork', 'cloud' and 'Mexico'); this emerged after the Department of Homeland Security was forced to release the list in compliance with a freedom of information request, and the Agency insisted it only looks for evidence of genuine threats to the U.S. and not for signs of general dissent. Ominously, on her way out the door [to UCLA], BIG SIS provided a GOODBYE KISS by Warning of a Large-scale Cyber Attack [a concept that has been known for years, as per work of Brian Kennedy, who delivered a lecture to the Middle East Forum on this riskwhich would emerge from a high-altitude burst].
My son has IDed intriguing history [Operation Mongoose, Operation_Northwoods] and methodology [steganography] reflecting the level of knowledge that has been generated via this technology, which appears to dwarf worriment regarding the multiple surveillance cameras that abound; although lawsuits have tried to define limits [e.g., can red-light camera data be employed when investigating crime?], 487
Americans are not generally up-in-arms regarding this issue, perhaps because of its bipartisan support. Nevertheless, BHO has probably experienced some erosion of support from youth due to these events, although it seems the scandalous nature of what occurred has predominantly yielded embarrassment.

With 80 pages of grist remaining, a few follow-up points are in-order, culminating with an extensive presentation of information that will necessarily impugn the POTUS-ambitions of Sen. Rand Paul, M.D. [notwithstanding his effective appearance defending his opposition-to-ObamaCare-on-the-daily-show]. Due to the attack on Judaism that is embodied via former-Rep. Ron Paul, M.D., this blast will allow for a certain ventilation of chauvinism via recently-acquired e-mail [this being the High Holy Days season]. Providing political balance, it has been alleged that utterances such as JEW MOTHERFU**ER AND NI**ER have emanated from The Foulmouthed & Lying Clintons; providing additional information, compiled have been nixon-truman-and-fdrs-private-thoughts-about-jews [not pretty!].
Some pundits periodically tackle the question of when-anti-zionism-is-jew-hatred but, knowing the essence of Zionism {having composed a monograph that is being edited by a prominent local rabbi on this particular topic}, this physician equates the two; if any phraseology reflects the nefarious dog whistle in this regard, its those who profess fealty to the State of Israel in one breath, while calmly discussing the Nakba in the next. *The Nakba, in Arabic, denotes the catastrophe of Israels having been re-established on 5/15/1948 via issuance of her Declaration of Independence, as a Jewish Homeland.] That some fear the-world-thinks-jewish-blood-is-cheap is reflected in the facts that: nazi-suspects-were ordered-out; that a ukrainian priest was rebuked for glorifying-nazis; that a kosher [ritual] slaughter-ban-showed-poland-has-a-jewish-problem, even as krakows jewish and muslim leaders-banded-together-to-fight-it; that South African BDSers Sang Shoot the Jew at Event Featuring Israeli Saxophonist; that Swastikas have appeared in Jewish Neighborhood in Toronto, while jewish-symbols-and garments-were banned-in quebec-province; that, a-century-later, the leo-frank-tragedy-still-resonates; and that some predict the-end-of-european-jewry due to anti-semitism, even as an essay in front page mag [by joseph-puder] noted germany revived-the-jewish-boycott].
Problems exist in Arab lands that Israels existence may exacerbate (humanitarian-tragedy in irans- beleaguered-jewish-community, jewish-shtetl-in-azerbaijan-survives-amid-muslim-majority, and head- of-jewish-community-in-yemen-reports that muslim-men-marry-jewish-women-but-not-vice-versa); yet, cnn-fired-its entire-jewish-staff-of its-israel-bureau-and-retained-only-arab-reporters (behavior that is reminiscent of how, a decade ago, CNN retained a reporter in Baghdad who admitted having slanted presentations so as to retain interactions with Saddam). Under-reported is the fact that, in Zanzabar, two men on a moped threw acid on two 18-year-old British Jews [Kirstie Trup and Katie Gee], who were volunteering as teachers at St. Monica nursery school for a month; both were injured and would return TO TESTIFY, except that they are frustrated-their attackers-havent-been-caught. Contrariwise, hope springs eternal, noting: the Jewish-agency is to-bring-the-last-ethiopian-jews-to-israel; a new-group- brought a european-day-of-jewish-culture-to-the-hague; prince charles wore a unique kippah to uk chief rabbis induction-ceremony; jews survive-in-sweden; jewish-institutions-in the US were-awarded-$9- million-federal-funding; and $100-million assets are maintained by the american-jewish-committee.
489
Note two recent films, a Borscht Belt documentary "When Comedy Went to School" [which lets Jewish comics revive good-old days], and a ww-ii-movie-the-book-thief [Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson star as a couple raising a foster child and hiding a Jew from the Nazis during World War II].
This set of hyperlinks eschewed addressing American/Israeli politics, which were tangentially covered *through Guzzardis input, which is felt to show why bombing Syria would not be advisable+; it is hoped that this challenge will soon be tackled, through a review of social issues, the Democrats, and how the media pointedly ignore fundamental forces swirling within the Middle East, to Israels detriment+. Deferred also is provision of an exhaustive list of how Christians [and those harboring other religions] are being attacked by Muslims worldwide. The reader is reminded of the emergence of an article from a liberal website that has explored the kurdish-quest-in-syria, reinforced by joseph-puder, and a recent interview on Al-Arabiyah TV of a Syrian Kurdish leader on independence ambitions; these counterpoint the author-of-wsj-op-ed-supporting-syrian-rebels, who later admitted ties-with an islamist-group.
A Jewish Boycott
A short time ago, Iran's Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged the Muslim World to boycott anything and everything that originates with the Jewish people.
In response, Meyer M. Treinkman, a pharmacist, out of the kindness of his heart, offered to assist them in their boycott as follows:
"Any Muslim who has Syphilis must not be cured by Salvarsan discovered by a Jew, Dr. Ehrlich. He should not even try to find out whether he has Syphilis, because the Wasserman Test is the discovery of a Jew. If a Muslim suspects that he has Gonorrhea, he must not seek diagnosis, because he will be using the method of a Jew named Neissner.
"A Muslim who has heart disease must not use Digitalis, a discovery by a Jew, Ludwig Traube.
Should he suffer with a toothache, he must not use Novocaine, a discovery of the Jews, Widal and Weil.
If a Muslim has Diabetes, he must not use Insulin, the result of research by Minkowsky, a Jew. If one has a headache, he must shun Pyramidon and Antypyrin, due to the Jews, Spiro and Ellege.
Muslims with convulsions must put up with them because it was a Jew, Oscar Leibreich, who proposed the use of Chloral Hydrate.
Arabs must do likewise with their psychic ailments because Freud, father of psychoanalysis, was a Jew. 490
Should a Muslim child get Diphtheria, he must refrain from the Schick" reaction which was invented by the Jew, Bella Schick.
"Muslims should be ready to die in great numbers and must not permit treatment of ear and brain damage, work of Jewish Nobel Prize winner, Robert Baram.
They should continue to die or remain crippled by Infantile Paralysis because the discoverer of the anti-polio vaccine is a Jew, Jonas Salk.
"Muslims must refuse to use Streptomycin and continue to die of Tuberculosis because a Jew, Zalman Waxman, invented the wonder drug against this killing disease.
Muslim doctors must discard all discoveries and improvements by dermatologist Judas Sehn Benedict, or the lung specialist, Frawnkel, and of many other world renowned Jewish scientists and medical experts.
"In short, good and loyal Muslims properly and fittingly should remain afflicted with Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Heart Disease, Headaches, Typhus, Diabetes, Mental Disorders, Polio Convulsions and Tuberculosis and be proud to obey the Islamic boycott."
Oh, and by the way, don't call for a doctor on your cell phone because the cell phone was invented in Israel by a Jewish engineer.
Meanwhile I ask, what medical contributions to the world have the Muslims made?"
The Global Islamic population is approximately 1,200,000,000; that is ONE BILLION TWO HUNDRED MILLION or 20% of the world's population.

The Jews are NOT promoting brainwashing children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non- Muslims.
The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, or blow themselves up in German restaurants.
There is NOT one single Jew who has destroyed a church.
There is NOT a single Jew who protests by killing people. The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.
Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.
Muslims must ask 'what can they do for humankind' before they demand that humankind respects them.
Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the so-called Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel's part, the following two sentences really say it all:
If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel."
Benjamin Netanyahu: General Eisenhower warned us. It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.
He did this because he said in words to this effect: 'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened'
Recently, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred.
It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it. 495
It is now more than 65 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.
Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.
This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people. Perhaps you'll be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world - or not....
How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center 'NEVER HAPPENED' because it offends some Muslim in the United States?

Sent: Monday, September 09, 2013 3:08 AM Subject: Anti-BHO "blasts" Continue - CXXXV [Syria & ObamaCare]
So much is transpiring so quicklydomestically and overseasthat its desirable to summarize what has been generated, if only to generate an impetus to push for blocking BHOs double-barreled goal: Bombing Syria and Funding ObamaCare. Its 2-a.m., so a comprehensive presentation cannot be given; yet, just as was done with regard to ObamaCares faults last week, bullet-points regarding events of just the past 24-hours should suffice when sustaining these goals; to whatever degree wishful thinking might be detected, so be it. BHO has proceeded so rapidly towards self-marginalization when advocating for a war with Syria, that the Ds must be wondering how soon they must run for cover, to survive in 14; thus, the Rs must capitalize on what is transpiringto do whats rightto save America from heathens.
The war-of-words regarding ObamaCare implementation continues unabated, reflecting abounding angst among both Rs *as Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), in the Weekly GOP Address, noted How ObamaCare Hurts Families and as rep-price (R-Ga) discussed-his- plan-to-repeal/replace-ObamaCare+ and Ds *as Buffy Wicks (of The Daily Beast) claimed If ObamaCare Fails, Women Lose and as a WaPo editorial claimed ObamaCare Navigators Are Necessary]. Reflecting the double-trouble of this legislation, Dan Bongino (at Freedomworks Bloggers Summit) claimed 'Defunding ObamaCare Is About Liberty' and the AAPS told physicians if you dont like ObamaCare, you can quit.
497
The politics also swirl about; although some claim the syria-resolution-could-stall-congresss-work-on- divisive-domestic-issues *including immigration reform+, its quick-death in the Senate *by weeks end+ could embolden the Rs both to defund ObamaCare and to challenge BHO on the Debt Ceiling [even if Lew continues to claim its a non-negotiable issue]. Meanwhile, the political fallout is affecting both Lindsey Graham [whose Polling Under 50% in Primary presages the need for a Runoff] and John McCain [from whom Arizona Republicans are Seeking to Distance themselves, viewing him as 'Out of Step']; indeed, not only has McCain demonstrated bad optics *with his video-poker], but he has also relied upon discredited information [woman-informing-kerry-mccains-opinions-on-syria-also-an-advocate-for- syrian-rebels]. And damage may already have been done to Americas military, noting an unprecedented report that a container-ship-carrying-us-weapons-for-syrian-rebels-split-in-half and inexplicably sank.
In this regard, this physicians comments earlier today on an essay by Mullane regarding the anti-war posture adopted by Mike Fitzpatrick [he gets it right on Syria, maybe+ may be instructive; two quotations from Edmund Burke were provided when assessing how Mike votes: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" and "His unbiased opinion, his mature judgment, his enlightened conscience, he ought not to sacrifice to you, to any man, or to any set of men living....Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion." Essentially, a trustee considers an issue and, after hearing all sides of the debate, exercises their own judgment in making decisions about what should be done. "You choose a member, indeed; but when you have chosen him, he is not member of Bristol, but he is a member of Parliament."
498
Through it all, identifying this event as a TURNING POINT that may define the interaction between OBAMA AND ISRAEL during THE NEXT THREE YEARS, Barry Rubin [also, vide supra] claims BHO has now crossed a line to, in simple terms, back the bad guyscarrying dire implications; meanwhile, it is necessary to reformulate Syria [and Middle East] policy by, for example, noting Kissingers good option included creating an independent/federated Kurdistan [noting that the Syrian Deputy Premier claimed The Kurds Must Unify Their Demands]. BHOs erratic acute/chronic behavior has reminded israel-to- rely-only-on-itself, but syria-has also revealed-the-perils-of-partisanship. The perspective of The Bob *dr. bob and Guzzardi+ remains focused on Iran as the enemy and, therefore, the children in the White House are so incompetent thateven if some argue that congress-cant-fill-BHOs-leadership- voidsomeone must place America into some form of receivershipASAPto preserve the USA.

http://www.politico.com/playbook THE 1 PARAGRAPH TO READ - WHITE HOUSE EMPHASIZING IRAN IN CASE TO LAWMAKERS : With morning news coverage reporting that President Obama could lose his Syria vote, White House officials are embarking on a massive, member-by-member lobbying surge. "The strategy will be to flood the zone," a White House official told Playbook. "We want every member to feel briefed, to have everything they need, to have every question answered. In-person visits, one-on-one phone calls, conference calls, classified briefings, unclassified briefings - everything is on the menu." Yesterday, in addition to a classified briefing by administration officials at the Capitol, Obama, Vice President Biden and White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough made individual calls to House and Senate members. Obama meets today with Sen. John McCain and White House officials plan more individual calls, on top of a conference call for House Democrats.

David L Singer {The Jewish Tea Party Of America (JTPA)} wrote this remembrance of both 9-11-01 and 9-11-12
With great sadness for those who were murdered, and those who gave their lives trying to help let us remember and pray for them, their families, loved ones and friends. Through Gods Grace may they forever find eternal peace, joy and happiness. They will forever be in our hearts and prayers.
For those who struggled through the darkness of those days to provide aid and who sacrificed through their heroism so much Through Gods Grace may they forever find eternal peace, joy and happiness. They will forever be in our hearts and prayers.
For those who committed these acts of murder and caused such pain to so many innocent people and brave, brave heroes - let these spawns of Satin know we will always remember them, never forgetting what they did, why they did it. We will always remember that because of the very freedom we provided and represent.
Let these cowardly demons know we will never waiver, we will never falter, we will never tire, we will never forget what they did and that not Allah but God will judge them one day and they will all burn in hell!
And this year especially let those that have and would do us harm again in the name of Allah know we will never provide comfort or aid or support for their cause. Let the enemy of our enemy kill each other as we remember those innocent victims they murdered!
We will never forget 9/11 and 9/11.
God Bless The United States of America!

Many have emphasized the need to remember BOTH 9-11 events and, in that regard, an update is provided of BHOs Scandal-Sheet; many find it ironic that hillary received the liberty-medal last night at the National Constitution Center-in-philly, which jeb-bush-bestowed [ironically, although it was noted he didnt fraternize publicly with her+ amidst a vigorous Protest. Meanwhile, hillary-weighed-in-on- global-developments as the State Department revealed Hillary had received $500K worth of jewelry from Saudi king and it was also noted that hillary-made-a huge-blunder when she bashed-america [saying-our-tv-should-be-more-like-al-jazeera]; is there any wonder that Hillary Tweeted the Cuba-to- Florida Swimmer self-referentially ['Feels Like I Swim With Sharks+?
Indeed, Benghazi-Gate festers, as John Kerry Refused to Allow Congress to Question Benghazi Survivors [confirmed by sharyl-attkisson]; furthermore, BHOs-statement-on- benghazi [we-remain-committed-to-bringing-the-perpetrators-to-justice] failed to note that, one-year-later, benghazi-terrorists-are still-free because the libyan-government- has refused-to-arrest-them. Instead, on this Benghazi Anniversary, Known Benghazi Liar Susan Rice is to Brief Congress on Syria as a Benghazi Mother laments: 'I Begged' Administration for Answers. That is why conservatives-are to mark the one year anniversary-of-benghazi-attacks, for they feel the subsequent probe has been censored- or-spun; a reminder that BHO incorrectly concluded the war against Islamic Terrorism has ended is the ominous report that there was an explosion-at-government-building- in-benghazi.
Braced for still another shocking revelation, it was admitted that NSA can tap smartphone data and that The NSA's searches of a database containing the phone records of nearly all Americans violated privacy protections for three years by failing to meet a court-ordered standard, according to court documents released Tuesday; the violations continued until a judge ordered an overhaul of the program in 2009. Yet, as NEW DOCUMENTS DETAIL HOW FEDS SEIZE LAPTOPS AT BORDER and the nsas-mad-scientist has been profiled, Consumers worried about NSA intrusions have little recourse; some even claim the nsas- next-move-is to silence-university-professors. Meanwhile, Lisa Jackson has been hauled back before Congress due to a REPORT that the Clandestine EPA has been operating 'in shadows.'
