WHY YOU SHOULDN'T TRUST FOX NEWS

There are many reasons why you should not trust FOX NEWS to bring you the truth, however the most important reason IMO is because FOX NEWS has loaded up their programs with retired military personnel and retired politicians who are now working as lobbyists for a wide variety of defense contractors who would like to see the United States engaged in more wars.

FOX NEWS has been critical of President Obama's plan to pull all troops out of Afghanistan by 2014 and FOX NEWS trots out scores of former military personnel and political pundits from the Bush and Cheney administration who cite all kinds of reasons why exiting Afghanistan would be a bad idea.

The biggest problem with their thinking is they don't provide any reason why we should stay in Afghanistan other than to say the country would fall into the hands of Al Qaida again if we pull all of our troops out of the country.

Afghanistan has such a weak government that it won't make any difference how long we stay in Afghanistan because once we do leave the country will be taken over by Al Qaida, or elements of Al Qaida, and the Taliban.

FOX NEWS has been careful to never mention the number of young Americans killed in Afghanistan.

The latest figures released by the Department of Defense indicates over 2,000 young Americans have been killed in Afghanistan over the ten years we have been waging a war in the country.

FOX NEWS did the same thing with the war in Iraq and never mentioned the number of Americans killed in that war.

According to the Department of Defense over 4,700 young Americans were killed in the Iraq war and another 70,000 were seriously wounded including many who will be disabled for the rest of their lives.

The Iraq War was started when President Bush and Vice President Cheney lied to the American people and to Congress about how Saddam Hussein had Weapons of Mass destruction and was close to producing a nuclear bomb.

United States forces who invaded Iraq never found any weapons of mass destruction nor did they find any facilities capable of producing a nuclear bomb.

President Obama pulled all U.S. troops out of Iraq two years ago and the fragile Iraq government has become friends with Iran and now Al Qaida and other terrorist elements are creating havoc all across Iraq.

Yesterday 52 Iraqi civilians were killed and 236 were injured when an Al Qaida led attack killed them as they made their way to a religious gathering.

The former military personnel and retired politicians who appear on FOX NEWS used every appearance as a means to suggest the United States should go to war with Iran, Syria and even North Korea.

FOX NEWS also never mentions our troops are stretched to the breaking point and it would be impossible for the United States to get involved in another war without re-instating the military draft.

Judging on how the American public and the mainstream media have turned a deaf ear on the war in Afghanistan it is obvious the citizens of the United States do not have an appetite for another war---especially if the next war would have to be fought with their own children and grandchildren who would be drafted into the United States military.

Iraq Bloodbath: 54 Killed, 237 Wounded in Attacks against Shi’ite Pilgrims and Security Forces -- Antiwar.com

IRAQ is coming apart at the seams.

54 killed and 237 wounded in Iraq bloodbath.

While FOX NEWS and three GOP Senators concentrate on destroying SUSAN RICE and her possible nomination as Secretary of State, Iraq is falling apart and it appears as though the 4,700 Americans killed in the Iraq was all for nothing.

FOX NEWS and Republican Senators McCain, Graham and Ayotte have been spinning everything Susan Rice said about the Benghazi, Libya attack that killed 4 Americans while at the same time ignoring the lies told by the Bush administration that put the U.S. into a war in Iraq that eventually killed over 4,700 young Americans and left over 70,000 seriously wounded.

THIS COULD SINK SUSAN RICE'S SEC. OF STATE APPOINTMENT MORE THAN BENGHAZI DUSTUP

Susan Rice, who has been at the center of an attack by FOX NEWS and three GOP Senators over her statements made on five TV shows following the Benghazi, Libya attack that killed four Americans, could be facing an even bigger impediment to her selection as Secretary of State over findings she has invested close to $600,000 in TransAmerica the outfit that wants to build a pipeline from Canada

FOX NEWS AND GOP SENATORS ATTACK SUSAN RICE

Susan Rice, U.S. Ambassador to the UN and possible candidate for Secretary of State, met with three GOP Senators on Tuesday to discuss the "talking points" she presented on five TV shows three days after the Benghazi, Libya attack that killed four Americans.

FOX NEWS and the GOP Senators said the one hour meeting with Rice left them with more questions than answers.

Are you kidding me?

A one hour meeting and they didn't get the answers they wanted. This sucks.

Does FOX NEWS, GOP Senators McCain, Graham and Allotte want us to believe they couldn't get all their questions answered in a ONE HOUR MEETING with Rice?

This whole Benghazi investigation has turned into a witch hunt and a partisan attack on the Obama administration with shades of racism and sexism.

FRIGHTENING: OBAMA MOST THREATENED PRESIDENT IN HISTORY

The Most Threatened President in History

By Nathaniel Patterson, Causes

27 November 12

SECRET SERVICE SAYS THE NUMBER OF THREATS AGAINST THE PRESIDENT IS OVERWHELMING

resident Barack Obama is the target of more than 30 potential death threats a day and is being protected by an increasingly over-stretched Secret Service. He is the most threatened President in history.

Since the President took office in 2008, the rate of threats against the president has increased 400% cent. Some threats to the President have been publicized, including the well known alleged plot by white supremacists in Tennessee to rob a gun store, shoot 88 black people, decapitate another 14 and then assassinate the first black president in American history.

Most however, are kept under wraps because the Secret Service fears that revealing details of them would only increase the number of copycat attempts.

According to the U.S. Secret Service agents, their goal is to immediately respond to any direct threat against the president, the first family, the vice president, or visiting heads of state. Agents are then responsible for determining the credibility of the threat.

Each time there is a threat, the Secret Service consults with the Protective Intelligence Division in Washington, D.C., to decide how far an investigation is going to go. If a federal arrest takes place, it will lead to the most serious or extreme of the end results.

Recently, when Anton Caluori, 31, allegedly emailed the FBI on the morning of August 21st to say he would "kill the president," a Secret Service agent was immediately dispatched to his residence. According to the Department of Justice, Caluori was armed with multiple weapons, making his threat not only credible, but viable.

"This case had all the troubling ingredients: threats of violence and explosive devices, multiple weapons with hundreds of rounds and even brandishing of a weapon at law enforcement," said U. S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. Caluori was subsequently arrested and charged in federal court with making a threat against the president and assault of a federal agent. If convicted, he could face up to 25 years in prison. He is scheduled to appear in federal court in Seattle Monday for a detention hearing.

Recent national events are a stark reminder that the Secret Service has to take these threats of death or violence seriously. While the Secret Service says they take every threat against the president seriously, not all will end in arrest. Threats will come our way from high school students, even junior high school students in the way of prank type calls. There are threats on Twitter and on Facebook and other social sites that allow such comments, but they have to look at them all. People need to know that any type of threat against the president is a violation of federal law.

The Secret Service says that many of those who make such threats are mentally ill, and it is the goal of the Secret Service to find them help. It can be "sobering," they said, when agents show up at their door
.

According to the Secret Service, the president is the most threatened person in the U.S., regardless of political party.

The President is not made aware of all threats against him, however, because as the Secret Service says, "the sheer number would be overwhelming and, frankly, distracting."

FOX NEWS DUMPS PULITZER PRIZE WINNING REPORTER

Fox News anchor Jon Scott abruptly cut short an interview with Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Thomas Hicks when Hicks told Scott Fox News overhyped the Benghazi, Libya attack and was acting like a shill for the Republican Party.

Hicks, who has seen personally many military attacks and protests, told Scott that Fox News was wrong about much of what they have been reporting.

Scott immediately cut off the interview after 90 seconds and dismissed Hicks in an awkward moment.

For the record, Fox News has been telling their viewers a series of lies about the attack on the Benghazi, Libya compound that cost the lives of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

For the past month, Fox News has been taking out of context what Susan Rice, U.S. Ambassador to the UN, told five different networks about the attack when she had made it clear she was only presenting the "talking points" given to her by the CIA.

Fox News has become the laughing stock of the world of journalism and shouldn't even be considered a legitimate news organization, but instead a propaganda branch of the GOP.

The ratifications of the 19th Amendment and Title IX have given American women opportunities they never had before modern times.

U.S. PLANNING ON KEEPING 10,000 TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN AFTER 2014

The Obama administration is planning on keepng 10,000 troops in Afghanistan after the majority of the 68,000 troops are pulled out in 2014.

Supposedly the troops will be non-combat troops and used to train Afghan National soldiers.

However, the problem with this strategy is if all hell breaks loose in Afghanistan every single U.S. soldier become a combat soldier.

BREAKING NEWS: SUSAN RICE DEFENDS HER APPEARANCES ON TV RE BENGHAZI RAID. CALLS SEN. MCCAIN'S REMARKS "UNFOUNDED"

Susan Rice, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, was dispatched by the Obama White House to Sunday morning TV talk shows right after the attack on the Benghazi, Libya compound which killed the US Ambassador and three other Americans.

In this news report and video, Rice explains for the first time how she was only following what had been declassified by the CIA, other intelligence agencies and the White House.

Fox News and Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsay Graham have unleashed a brutal attack on Rice which she calls completely "unfounded."

Rice is being considered for the job of Secretary of State when Hillary Clinton steps down in the next month or two.

McCain said Rice was not smart enough for the job and yet Rice graduated with honors from Stanford University and was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship and received her Phd in political science from Oxford University.

It is worthy to note McCain is the same person who named Sarah Palin as his Vice President candidate in the 2004 campaign based on the fact Palin said she could see Russia from her front porch.

Rachel Maddow Beating Hannity: Are People Finally Catching on to FOX News' BS?

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell are beating FOX NEWS' Sean Hannity and Greta Van Sustern in two crucial primetime slots and the margin continues to widen.

Fox News has ruled the roost for about ten years, but all their BS and constant lies and fabrications appear to be catching up to them.

A Pew Research poll released several months ago said people who get their news from FOX NEWS are less informed than people who don't watch any news at all.

FOX NEWS is known among media insiders as the "gloom and doom" network because they are constantly painting a picture of the United States on the brink of collapse.

In recent weeks, FOX NEWS has been on a Benghazi binge trying to pin the deaths of four American at the compound in Benghazi, Libya on President Clinton.

To substantiate the claim that Obama was to blame for the Benghazi attack, FOX NEWS has resorted to taking news reports from mainstream media outlets and editing them to fit the FOX NEWS scenario that President Obama screwed up and didn't provide security before that attack.

FOX NEWS conveniently omits the point that the Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted down anymore funding for not only the U.S. installations in Libya but the 290 U.S. embassies and installations all around the world.

More recently FOX NEWS has been on a vendetta aimed at U.S. Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice over the CIA "talking points" she presented to five TV networks three days after the Benghazi, Libya attack.

Rice presented unclassifed "talking points" to the American public through her five TV appearances after the CIA and nine other intelligence agencies and the White House had scrubbed any classified material so terrorist elements in the Middle East would not know the United States had information on them.

FOX NEWS is beating a "dead horse" on the Benghazi conspiracy they dreamed up and apparently the American public has caught on to the FOX NEWS lies and has left the right-wing so-called media organization with their TV ratings plummeting.

HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE THE SCUM OF THE EARTH

Congressional House Republicans proved beyond a shadow of a doubt they are the scum of the earth in the way they have attacked U.S. Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice.

Rice, who is a graduate of Stanford University, a Rhodes Scholar and who earned a Phd from Oxford University, was said to be too dumb for the job of Secretary of State by Republican Senator John McCain.

Many in the Democratic party think the attack on Susan Rice is racially movtivated. She is an African American like Attorney General Eric Holder, Special White House Assistant Valerie Jarrett and, of course, President Obama who have all been the victims of "dog whistles" and "code words" used by Angry White Male Republicans who put on public display their racism on a daily basis.

SUSAN RICE: FACTS VS FOX NEWS FICTION

SUSAN RICE, who graduated with honors from Stanford University and was awarded a Rhodes scholarship and then went on to get her Phd from Oxford University and is currently US Ambassador to the UN, has been the subject of a sustained attack by FOX NEWS and Republicans over the "talking points" she presented on the Benghazi, Libya attack on a US compound.

Rice appeared on five network TV shows two days after the September 11, 2012 attack and repeated the "talking points" approved by the CIA and the White House on what they knew at the time about the attack that claimed four American lives.

FOX NEWS and some GOP lawmakers have been ruthless in their attacks on Rice and in the case of FOX NEWS they have taken her words and totally twisted them around so they don't even come close to what she said on television.

Rice is being considered by President Obama for the job of Secretary of State when Hillary Clinton steps down from the post.

FOX NEWS and Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives are desperately attempting to undermine the Rice nomination and have even gone so far as to write a letter to President Obama demanding he not nominate Rice for the Secretary of State job.

What FOX NEWS and other right wing media are not telling the public is the United States Senate has the final word on Presidential nominations and the House of Representatives are not involved in the process.

The United States Senate is controlled by Democrats and it is expected they would approve President Obama's nomination of Susan Rice for Secretary of State.

As Congress continues to probe the attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, the conversation seems to be gradually shifting from a hothouse hunt for the scalp of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice to larger questions about the security breakdown itself. Buzzfeed's John Stanton sussed out that a shift seemed imminent at the end of last week, and while Sunday's political talk shows featured Rice's betes-noires -- Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham -- there was a sense that cooler heads were taking over.

Most notably, McCain amigo Sen. Joe Lieberman made it clear to Fox News' Chris Wallace that he wasn't all that interested in pursuing the Susan Rice agita much further:

As I look at what we now know the intelligence community was saying that week -- and I look at Ambassador Rice's statements on television on the following Sunday morning, I don't find anything inconsistent between those two. But, I must tell you that I think we are focusing on questions that are not insignificant but they are not the most significant. Of course, there was a terrorist attack. Whether or not there was a protest before it is interesting, but not that critical to me. There was a terrorist attack and the question is: who did it?

All of which is eminently sensible. As it happens, however, Lieberman's approach hasn't yet caught on with everybody. In fact, as Pete Kasperowicz reports over at The Hill, several lawmakers have drawn up a strongly worded letter to President Barack Obama, insisting that he not nominate Rice to be Secretary of State:

In a letter to Obama, the 97 Republicans said the credibility of the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations has been gravely wounded by her account of the September 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. The letter says Rice "propagated a falsehood" that the attacks were a spontaneous response to a video that depicted the Prophet Muhammed. The administration then said more than a week later that terrorism may have played a role.
"Ambassador Rice is widely viewed as having either willfully or incompetently misled the American public in the Benghazi matter," it says. "Her actions plausibly give U.S. allies (and rivals) abroad reason to question U.S. commitment and credibility when needed.

There's a few reasons that Obama won't sweat this. One is that the GOP caucus could only find 97 members to go along with this letter. Another is that members of the House of Representatives don't have anything to do with confirming the U.S. Secretary of State.

The third is though you can read this story and see that Kasperowitz writes, "the House Republican letter mirrors some of the Senate Republican criticism of Rice that has emerged," the only cited examples of "Senate Republican critics" are McCain and Graham. You can probably add Sen. Kelly Ayotte to their folie a deux, but that trio represents the Susan Rice Dead Ender Caucus.

Meanwhile, here's a key quote about Rice's potential nomination to head the State Department, criticizing all of the bitterness being thrown her way just because she made public assertions that didn't turn out to be correct:

So I wonder why we are starting this new Congress with a protracted debate about a foregone conclusion… . I can only conclude we are doing this for no other reason than lingering bitterness at the outcome of the elections… . We all have varying policy views, but the President, in my view, has a clear right to put in place the team he believed would serve him best.

Of course, in the case of the above quote, the year was 2005, the "Rice" was Condoleezza, the incorrect assertions were that Saddam Hussein's regime had weapons of mass destruction, and the defender ... was John McCain.

GIVE IT UP

Republicans should give up their ridiculous attempt at trying to find out who changed a couple of words in "talking points" Susan Rice told five TV networks on the Benghazi attack.

Nobody went bonkers when Bush and Cheney lied about WMDs and nukes in Iraq and then sent young Americans to war in Iraq that cost the lives of 4,700 young Americans not four Americans like in Libya.

The same goes for when nearly 200 US Marines were killed in 1983 after a car bomb went off outside the Marine Barracks in Lebanon when Ronald Reagan was President

Nobody tried to launch an investigation of FDR after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 killing over 2,500 Americans and led to the United States entering World War II where over 200,000 young Americans were killed.

President Harry Truman sent a small force of "peace keepers" into Korea in 1950 in what was called a "police action" but quickly escalated into an all out war that led to over 33,000 Americans killed before it ended in 1953, however an investigation was never launched.

John F. Kennedy sent a small force into Vietnam in 1960 which eventually led to a full-scale war with North Vietnam that cost the lives of 58,000 young Americans and nobody called for an investigation.

But 4 people were killed in Benghazi, Libya and the Republicans have gone totally bonkers in an attempt to pin their deaths on President Obama and are even calling for a Special Prosecutor to bring Obama up on impeachment charges.

Republicans should learn their history before they continue to make asses of themselves over the deaths of 4 Americans in Benghazi, Libya.

GREEN ON BLUE ATTACKS ON U.S. TROOPS GROWING IN AFGHANISTAN

CLICK ON ARROW OR WATCH ON YOUTUBE TO PLAY VIDEO

Attacks on US-led troops are rapidly rising in Afghanistan. But it is mostly Afghan security forces who target them-not the Taliban alone. These attacks are known as Green on Blue.

But they were killed for different reasons. They say they turned their weapons on US-led forces either because of combat stress or disrespect to Islamic values by foreign troops. These attacks have jumped, especially after the burning of the Holy Quran by American forces in Bagram Air Base this year.

Green on blue attacks have greatly affected that relations between Afghan forces and US-led troops too. They do not trust each other very much now. US forces have stepped up security around and inside their bases. Most joint military compounds have also been separated. And both US and Afghan government seem worried about this trend.

PETRAEUS BLOWS A HOLE IN GOP CONSPIRACY THEORY ON BENGHAZI ATTACK

For the record, I had a security clearance to handle classified material when I was in the U.S. Army from 1951 to 1953.

I was investigated by the FBI before the security clearance was issued to me.

David Petraeus appeared Friday before the Congressional committee looking into what happened in Benghazi, Libya when four Americans, including the U.S. Ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, were killed.

Petraeus made it clear that the sensitive material on the Benghazi raid by terrorists aligned with Al Qaeda went through a checking process to make sure nothing in the material could be used to alert the group that conducted the raid and that U.S. intelligence agencies knew who they were, before the final unclassified material was given to U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice.

Rice subsequently only repeated what the CIA and other intel agencies approved before she appeared on 5 TV shows two months ago to explain what the White House knew at the time of her TV appearances.

There was nothing nefarious about what Ambassador Rice said or how the Obama White House had edited the "talking points" presented by Rice to the American public through her multiple appearance on Sunday morning TV political shows.

Sen. John McCain and Sen. Lindsay Graham and many in the Republican Party are now left with egg on their faces in their rush to judgement when they didn't know all the facts until Petraeus set the record straight during the Congressional hearings on the Benghazi, Libya attack on September 11, 2012.

CNN REPORTS CIA SAYS EVERYTHING FOX NEWS HAS BEEN REPORTING ON BENGHAZI, LIBYA ATTACK IS FALSE OR A FLAT OUT LIE

CLICK ON ARROW OR "WATCH ON YOU TUBE" TO VIEW VIDEO

DAVID PETRAEUS, who recently resigned at head of the CIA, will testify behind closed doors to a select committee of Congress on Friday on what he discovered happened before and during the attack on U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya.

CNN is reporting in this video that CIA officials claim everything FOX NEWS has been reporting about the Benghazi attack is either false or a flat out lie.

Republicans are desperately trying to pin what happened on President Obama, but like everything that takes place in a theater of war everything that has been said by Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsay Graham is pure speculation or an attempt to muddy the waters using conspiracy techniques.

It is very possible nobody will ever know for sure what happened to the four Americans who were killed in Benghazi because "the fog of war" is always guesswork at best.

The major lesson to be learned from this Republican led dog and pony show is never trust FOX NEWS because they are not a news organization, but a propaganda arm of the Republican Party.

Remember this: Close to 200 U.S. Marines were killed in Lebanon in 1983 when Ronald Reagan was President and nobody called for an investigation.

Also, over 4,700 young Americans were killed in the Iraq war started with lies by George Bush and Dick Cheney about Saddam Hussein having WMDs and a nuclear bomb and nobody called for an investigation when it was found Saddam Hussein didn't have WMDs or a nuclear bomb.

The scandal which forced former Army Gen. David Petraeus to resign as director of the CIA has expanded and now includes Gen. John Allen who is in charge of U.S. military forces in Afghanistan.

According to this news report and video http://tiny.cc/n8qqnw Gen. Allen sent between 20,000 and 30,000 emails to Tampa socialite Jill Kelly who is married to a surgeon.

Kelly and her husband have their own share of skeletons in their closet and owe millions to a bank in Tampa Florida.

Fox News, as would be expected, is trying to pin the whole mess on President Obama even though Obama was not told about Petraeus until two days after the election when he received the resignation lettter from Petraeus.

Gen. Allen, at this writing, claims there was no romantic involvement with Jill Kelly inspite of the fact he sent her upwards of 30,000 emails.

We still have 68,000 troops in Afghanistan and one can only imagine what they are thinking as this story unfolds about their former commander, Gen. David Petraeus, and the current commander Gen. John Allen.
