The President earlier today issued a proclamation recognizing November as Military Family Month. It notes:
We each have a solemn duty to serve our Armed Forces and their families as well as they serve us…This month, we reaffirm that we will always lift up our military families – not just when their loved are away, but also long after the welcome home ceremonies are over.
Yeah, that’ll sure swing the military vote next Tuesday. Technically, Woods & Doherty were not part of a DoD mission per se, but their fate epitomizes the subtext of disdain this President seems to feel for all ‘corpse men’.
“There is a rumor — I want to be clear, it’s a rumor — that at least two networks have emails from the National Security Adviser’s office telling a counterterrorism group to stand down,” Gingrich said. “But they were a group in real-time trying to mobilize marines and C-130s and the fighter aircraft, and they were told explicitly by the White House stand down and do nothing. This is not a terrorist action. If that is true, and I’ve been told this by a fairly reliable U.S. senator, if that is true and comes out, I think it raises enormous questions about the president’s role, and Tom Donilon, the National Security Adviser’s role, the Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, who has taken it on his own shoulders, that he said don’t go. And that is, I think, very dubious, given that the president said he had instructions they are supposed to do everything they could to secure American personnel.”
By next Tuesday, anybody still deciding to vote for #OccupyResoluteDesk shall have achieved ‘dishonorable chump’ status.
For a special twist, I hope there is an unveiling of the emails from a big manila envelope marked ‘Sealed Court Records’. This adds no value whatsoever to the information; it’s just that #OccupyResoluteDesk deserves to have all his perfidy rubbed in his smug face both now, and for decades to come.

The first seven words of the title are from #OccupyResoluteDesk. The last three are from the demented Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore. I’m going to argue that, at a high level of abstraction, the two ideas are equally absurd.
The Washington Times has an article that is useful for tracking the latest rumors. The more that is revealed, the more the whole affair seems to have been an absurd exercise in willful disregard of reality in a combat zone:
We don’t, and are not likely EVER to know the full scoop of the reasons for the situation in Benghazi. Having served a year in Afghanistan, I can tell you that High Value types like an ambassador do not normally get put at any personal risk in war zones, for the reasons you see in Stevens’s wake. However, I’m glad that the details seem to have moved beyond “hostage bait”. That would have been Machiavellian beyond words, and hard to keep a secret, and therefore was always a trifle implausible.
Back to “Apocalypse Now”, Kilgore’s madness is echoed in the idiotic response of blaming “The Innocence of Muslims” and throwing Nakoula in jail. In retrospect, that blame move was as insane as declaring the beach safe while bullets flew. In addition to being wildly un-Constitutional and un-American. Where is the Anemic Commie Laughing Unit (ACLU) on this one? I may have answered my own question.
Kilgore’s foolhardy personal courage, standing there amidst explosions, is a stark contrast to Obama’s technological detachment from those “bumps in the road”. (I don’t personally know how anyone not an actor on a movie set could behave like Kilgore’s character in a no-kidding firefight.) And yet, even a non-combat facing of the music on Benghazi is too much for a feckless worm like Obama. Her Fecklessness now assumes the ‘offended’ pose at the suggestion that she wasn’t workin’ hard, tryin’ to find away to help those poor ex-SEALs fight for their lives.
PROVE IT!
Charlie don’t surf, Barack, but your worthless carcass is going to have plenty of time to do so, come January.
This is one of the better ads, coming out a few months ago, along with the “You didn’t build that utterance.”
The idea of Obama throwing small businesses under the bus echoes the 9/11/2012 under-bussing of two ex-SEALS and a couple State Department officials fighting for their lives in Benghazi.
