Secretary of State John Kerry is planning to be in Mexico on the day
of a congressional hearing on Benghazi for which he was subpoenaed to
testify.

I'm sure the reason for that is Mexico does not have an extradition treaty to cover his sorry ass.

The best summary of the Benghazi debacle I've read so far: [ http://t.co/cEXWHuZGs1 ]

This is a far bigger problem than Watergate ever was. PEOPLE DIED. Clinton and Obama should be serving the maximum sentence for treason over this.

We should just jail every politician.

No - just jail the politicians that are lawyers.

Heh - that will spare, **maybe**, a dozen members of the House and Senate.
*****Maybe*****...

I am a little surprised that this is happening:

http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/08/politics/va-shinseki/

After CNN exposed the fact that the VA was using a separate waiting list for medical patients (one that lead to several deaths while people waited for medical care), VA Secretary Eric Shinseki is auditing all the VA clinics.

Heh... I expect the coverup for this will be as massive as it has always been.

I'm appalled of couse, but unsurprised. We treat our veterans like shit in this country, despite demanding everything of them. And I mean everything.

Nobody should voluntarily join our armed forces, for how badly we treat our veterans.

In the last five years most of us have learned that any sentence beginning with "Let me be clear..." is *very* untrustworthy.

Well, so far the VA has asked for the resignation of one deputy who was already retiring and whose successor had already been hired. That's about the level of accountability we've come to expect.

I've heard that at 5ish years, Shinseki is actually one of the longest running VA heads. If he'd done something useful with that time, I could even forgive him for the damned berets, but of course that's not the case.

Ugh.

Yeah, that's about normal.

But, threaten them with fewer recruits with some carefully targetted advertising, and they should sit up and take notice.

We are decruiting already. Besides which, kids enlisting don't think about VA benefits; those are a problem for old and broken people, right?

They don't know yet how they will age.

Heh, it isn't just the VA benefits one should consider when joining the military... the somewhat poor record we have for caring for our veterans in general should be of concern. I think we still have some people left behind in Korea that we'll never see.

Remember Valerie Plame?
She was 'outed' as a CIA covert employee in July 2003.

Remember Patrick Fitzgerald?
He was the special prosecutor appointed through the Bush administration to investigate the Plame affair and associated rumors, accusations, etc. that were circulating without end through the mainstream media.

Remember the mainstream media?
Remember how they attempted to crucify Bush and everyone associated with him and national security policy in his administration?
Remember how this went on and on and on.. through and including 2007?
And of course you remember that all went on and on for *four* *years*.

And now we have Obama in Afghanistan where he divulged the identty of the Kabul CIA station chief.

And the Mainstream Media?
It is a 'blunder.'
It is a 'mere mistake.'
It happened 'accidentally.'
Etc. etc. etc.

Reality?
Obama's "blunder" could very well become the Station Chief's death warrant.

SO... where is the special prosecutor for THIS one?

Oh. I forgot. That would be "racist"...

Big Brother and all that.

I really think it's time we rounded up all of the top people in the mainstream media and put them in front of a firing squad. They are, for all practical purposes, enemy combatants, and should be treated as such.

It has been time to do that for the last 5 1/2 years now...
