Pat Caddell is one Democrat who has had all the lies he can stomach.  He is angry at his party for all the right reasons, including that group of Democrat activists we call the mainstream media.

Discussing Benghazi, Pat Caddell says the press has “been in the tank on this in a way I’ve never seen… I am appalled right now. This White House, this President, this Vice President, this Secretary of State, all of them, are willing apparently to dishonor themselves and this country for the cheap prospect of getting reelected…willing to cover up and lie. The worst thing is the very people who are supposed to protect the American people with the truth – the leading mainstream media…they have become a threat, a fundamental threat to American democracy and the enemies of the American people… these people have no honor… coverup is too nice of a word…”

Britt Hume points out that the mainstream media are strangely underplaying the Benghazi debacle.  He says,  ”The mainstream organs of the media … would be after this like a pack of  hounds if this were a Republican president.”  Read the story at the Daily Caller.

Hume pretends to be surprised, but he is not,really.  He knows the unwritten rules that the mainstream media live by.  The media are very predictable once you understand that:

The media act as defense attorneys for liberals
and prosecuting attorneys against conservatives.

Each bit of new information about Benghazi makes the Administration look more inept and cowardly.  It appears that we had  two AC-130U gunships in Libya.  That is a mean machine, perfect for the battle at hand.  There were also two drones in the air over the battle.  It is highly likely that they were armed.  The former Navy Seal who was “painting” the target with a laser knew perfectly well that that you do not expose yourself by shining the laser unless you believe that the capacity to fire is overhead.

I know of no information that would counter the judgement that for at least 6 hours, Americans were desperately calling for help, but a decision was made not to help them.  Bing West, former Assistant Secretary of Defense, adds to the story here.  An excerpt:

The Secretary of Defense and the President have issued contradictory explanations. Either Mr. Obama ordered the Secretary of Defense to “do whatever we need to do,” or he didn’t. And either the secretary obeyed that order, or he didn’t. And he didn’t.
