Beyond Benghazi
OK, you want to move on? Then let’s talk about what happened to the missiles? If they weren’t competent to secure the consulate, and allowed four people to be murdered, why should we think that they managed to secure heat-seeking missiles?

More “moving on.” There are worse blights on Susan Rice’s record than her Benghazi fantasies.
[Update a while later]
With Rice, Benghazi is only the start of the problem.
Can someone explain to me what she’s done at the UN that’s so wonderful, including yesterday’s vote?
The Profit Of Mohammed
…and the cowards at the Associated Press.
Cyber Monday
I know that it’s Wednesday, but Amazon is extending the deals all week
I appreciate the purchases that folks have made through the site so far this month, particularly the iPod Touch and Kindle. Also, I notice that someone bought Jake Tapper’s must-read new book on Afghanistan
Today’s Questions For The President
There are still a lot of them. In fact, they seem to multiply as time goes on.

The Continuing Bengazi Lies
What is the administration hiding?
Whatever it is, they sure didn’t want us to find out before the election. Or even now. And Congress shouldn’t allow itself to be distracted with a sex scandal, as the media has.
The Phrase The Media Won’t Use
Hamas is engaging in war crimes (as have the “Palestinians,” for decades). Yet it is Israel being ridiculously and harshly criticized, despite the fact that it works harder, spends more money, and risks more of its own lives than any other nation (with the possible exception of us) to minimize collateral damage that is entirely the fault of the war criminals.
Disgusting.
A Media-Caused War
CNN, among others, has childrens’ blood on its hands:
By participating in this pas de deux, the media are complicit with Hamas in that killing and maiming because it is done for them. It happens so the media can report it. They might be shocked to hear it, but if they stopped to think for a second, the media would realize that the war, on Hamas’ part anyway, would not exist if no one publicized it. Without publicity, Hamas couldn’t be less interested. And the Israelis, unprovoked, would never send a single missile into Gaza. Everyone knows that.
So Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the others fight for the benefit of the media. That’s it. That’s their sole motive — to show Israel as brutal with the help of the press. They live for the Israelis to make a mistake — and if the Israelis don’t, they invent one.
By participating in this charade, the media are effectively racist, treating the Palestinians like “ignorant wogs” from the days of British imperialism, incapable of taking care of themselves or of making a decent society for themselves. The media portray the Palestinians as victims, therefore encouraging Palestinian victimhood.
They are also “objectively pro-fascist” in Orwell’s term, because Hamas is an Islamofascist organization and they are doing Hamas’ will.
CNN et. al. rarely report the obvious — that if Hamas devoted a tenth of the time and money to hospitals, schools, and other civic institutions that they do to amassing an arsenal of 12,000 missiles and whatever else, the Gaza Strip would flourish like a paradise.
Because that would be the wrong narrative.
