Sleep is vital for babies and young children, whose brains and bodies are developing at an extraordinary rate – but nighttime rest isn't enough. Regular naps help them get the sleep they need.
Do your best to encourage your baby to nap consistently. But keep in mind that his temperament and natural rhythms will help determine how and when he naps. Some babies nap for long stretches every day right from the start and settle easily into a pattern. Others do just fine taking shorter naps or napping at less regular times.
How many naps a day should my baby take?
As a newborn, your baby will sleep for two to four hours at a time, day and night. At this stage, you shouldn't expect any sort of napping pattern. Just let your baby sleep as much as she needs to.
When your baby's 6 to 8 weeks old, she's likely to start consolidating her sleep – she'll sleep less often and for longer stretches at a time. She'll probably need two to four naps a day, and perhaps even more.
At 3 to 4 months of age, many babies begin to follow a more predictable pattern of daytime sleep. This is a good time to start developing a nap schedule (see our tips, below).
By 6 months, your baby will probably be taking two or three naps a day: one in the morning, one in the early afternoon, and another later in the afternoon.
At 9 to 12 months, most babies are down to two naps a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. And by 18 months, most children give up their morning nap altogether but continue to snooze in the afternoon. They'll continue with this pattern until they're 3 or 4 years old.
These are typical patterns, but not all babies follow them. Every baby has her own unique sleep habits. For more information, check out our sample baby sleep schedules.
How to start scheduling your baby's naps
When your baby's 3 to 4 months old, you can work on developing a nap schedule that's compatible with his natural sleep cycles.
Read the signs
Pay attention to your baby's sleep signals. Does he begin to rub his eyes and get fussy midmorning or right after lunch? Does he often fall asleep in the car in the early afternoon? Do you notice a difference in his alertness and overall mood when he sleeps for longer or shorter periods?
You might want to keep a record of your baby's sleep signals and naps for a week or two. This will help you see your baby's patterns so you can anticipate naps.
For example, if your baby gets cranky and ready to nap by 10 every morning, you can ease him into it before he gets overtired. Start 15 to 20 minutes before you expect his sleep signals to show up – feed, change, and rock him quietly, turn down the lights, and keep your voice low. That way he's already on the road to sleep when that tired feeling overtakes him.
Stick to a schedule
Consistency is the goal: Try to schedule your baby's naps for roughly the same time every day. If you routinely put your baby down for his afternoon nap at 3 one day and right after lunch the next, your child will have more trouble developing a regular sleep pattern.
Try to avoid activities that conflict with your baby's nap schedule. If your baby yoga class happens during naptime, for example, see if there's one offered at a time when your little one tends to be more alert.
If your baby is in daycare during the week and has a regular nap schedule when he's there, follow a similar schedule on the weekends when he's at home with you.
Get more tips on establishing a successful baby schedule.
Don't stress over interruptions
You won't be able to arrange it so your entire household revolves around your baby's nap schedule – especially if you have other children. Life events will interrupt your schedule, and if naps are skipped or delayed from time to time, it isn't a disaster. If you have a regular structure that you can rely on, it'll be easier to get back on track after the inevitable disruptions.
Figuring out the best nap schedule for your baby will take some trial and error, and it will change as your child grows and reaches new developmental milestones. You'll need to assess your baby's sleep needs and habits regularly and alter the schedule accordingly.

|A great horned owl from the Lisbon Valley recovers at the Second Chance Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. The owl was hit by a motorist and transported to Price, where he is making a fast recovery.
Eagles and owls are among the most savage and cunning predators in the avian world but when they reach Debbie Pappas and her right hand volunteer Connie Waddel, it is the birds who are in danger of losing their lives.
Pappas, along with a small but dedicated group of volunteers, is currently caring for two golden eagles, a bald eagle and a great horned owl at the Second Chance Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.
According to Pappas, the eagles have all been hit by coal trucks near the Dugout mine, causing injury that required surgery in all. The bald eagle, named Thor by the group, is slated for release on March 12 near where he was hit.
"The Wellington Savage Yard and especially Dave Palacios have been really good about working with us," said Pappas. "He has done a lot to educate his drivers
"That area has been really dangerous for eagles this year due to the amount of prey that is available along the road," explained Pappas. "We will be releasing Thor in the same area because bald eagles mate for life and I have to try and re-unite him with his mate. We hope she is waiting for him but if we don't get him back out there soon she will leave for Alaska without him."
Pappas reported that the bald eagles that are not indigenous to this area typically leave by April 15 to migrate to Alaska.
"If it was not for his mate I would not release him in that area, it is really very dangerous for these birds because as long as the road kill is out there, they are going to be on the road," said Pappas.
Pappas asked that all motorists be mindful of the large birds of prey as they travel this year, recommending that they slow down, watch for the birds and honk if they see them on the road.
Bald eagles were officially declared an endangered species in 1967 in all areas of the United States south of the 40th parallel, under a law that preceded the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
Until 1995, the bald eagle had been listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act in 43 of the 48 lower states and listed as threatened in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Washington and Oregon.
In July of 1995, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service upgraded the status of bald eagles in the lower 48 states to threatened.
According to baldeagleinfo.com, On June 28, 2007 the Interior Department took the American bald eagle off the Endangered Species List. The bald eagle will still be protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.
The Bald Eagle Protection Act prohibits the take, transport, sale, barter, trade, import, export and possession of eagles making it illegal to anyone to collect eagles and eagle parts, nests, or eggs without a permit. Native Americans are able to possess these emblems which are traditional in their culture.
"All the eagles that cannot be released back into the wild because they are too badly injured are taken down to the Zuni Tribe in New Mexico," said Pappas. "They are great stewards of the wildlife and use the feathers in their spiritual ceremonies."
|"Thor," as he was named at the center, perches within the facilitys flight as he awaits his release. Thor was released near the area where his mate is waiting.
The bald eagle was called in by Savage driver Glen Nielson who reported the downed eagle and was instrumental in getting him to Pappas.
The golden eagles currently at the rehabilitation center consist of one male and one female, Hardware and Amazing Grace.
Hardware earned his moniker when a surgery resulting from his accident caused 32 screws to be placed in his wing to stabilize it.
"He is our newest arrival," said Pappas. "And he could be with us awhile, his injuries were really very extensive."
According to Pappas, the cost of caring for these animals is extensive, the surgery that Hardware required started at over $1,000 not including the cost of feeding and medication during his stay at the center.
Golden Eagles, mascot of the local College of Eastern Utah, have brown plumage with some white at the base of the tail and golden to blonde feathers in the back of the head. Golden eagles are masters of soaring. With large wingspreads from six and a half to seven and a half feet, these birds can soar for long periods of time with little wing flapping.
According to dersertusa.com, they catch thermals, rising masses of warm air, to carry them in a spiral fashion upward high into the sky. If the bird spots prey while soaring, it can tuck its wings and swoop at speeds of up to 200 miles per hour. The golden eagle is also known for using its tremendous eyesight to locate prey.
"One of the main problems roadkill presents for these birds is that they will not leave it until it is completely gone," said Pappas. "If they find a meal they don't have to battle for and does not force them to exert valuable energy they will place themselves in harms way to pick it dry every time."
Pappas cautioned that removing roadkill from the highway can be dangerous and should be undertaken with care. She explained however that it is one of the best ways to keep these large birds from being injured or killed.
The second golden eagle at the center, Amazing Grace, was given her name because according to Pappas, she had survived not one but two collisions on the road.
"We could not believe she survived being hit twice," said Pappas. "So she became Amazing Grace to us."
Pappas reported that when the golden eagles are ready to be released she will take them at least 50 miles from the area to keep them from returning to the road near the mine.
Lastly, Pappas and her crew are caring for a large great horned owl.
According to Pappas, he was hit by a car in the Lisbon Valley between Moab and Monticello.
"He had been grounded for at least five days when he came to us," said Pappas. "His wing was hanging very badly and he was very thin, but man he sure put the weight back on fast."
Great horned owls are one of the earliest spring nesting birds; eggs may be laid in January or February through April. Great horned owls tend to perch during the daylight hours in a protected rocky alcove or on a tree limb.
"He has been a lot of fun to have," said Pappas. "Seeing these birds thrive again is worth every second it takes to rescue them."

The modern inventions and innovations of man can be seen in almost every facet of our lives. The thermometer is one fine example of human ingenuity. Parents are familiar with taking their children's temperature (sometimes quite frequently). Insert a thermometer, and voilà! Several seconds later, the temperature is displayed as a bar of mercury (or electronically), and one can read the temperature with ease. Even as we give homage to these fascinating devices, on occasion we tend to remain blind to the equally fascinating design that has been imprinted on the Earth and its creatures by the Great Designer. Take the mallee fowl, for example. Before man ever even thought of creating the simplest of contraptions, this bird was assessing temperature for its unborn babies. As the apostle Paul put it: "God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty" (1 Corinthians 1:27). Man's conceptions may be mighty, but God has put them to shame with a bird as simple as the mallee.
The Outback of Australia is home to this magnificent bird. The hot temperatures and dry climate do not deter the mallee, though. During its mating season, the male creates for its partner's eggs a nest that has an average circumference of 70 feet, and is over three feet in height. In the 1700s, the first white settlers came upon the mallee fowl's nests and, due to the unbelievable size of these sandy dunes, at first believed that they were aborigine burial grounds (Junor, 1998).
In order to make its nest, the male must first dig out a hole in early winter. Over the course of the winter, the mallee will begin to place sticks and other brush inside the hole, forming a canopy of litter across the top. As spring begins, the mallee fowl will cover the debris with a layer of sand to allow for fermentation of the litter beneath the surface. The nest will remain in this state until mating season (autumn). At this point, the nest has been thoroughly warmed by the decomposed waste. The male makes a hole in the top of the mound, where the female then lays a single egg. About a week later, the male will make another hole and the female will lay another egg. This process goes on until there are about eighteen eggs in the nest.
But building a nest is only half the battle. The other half involves temperature maintenance in the mound. This job, once again, is left to the male mallee. Several times a day, the male inserts his beak into the pile of debris and sand. He proceeds to stick out his tongue, which is such a good thermometer that it can measure a temperature change as small as 1/10 of a degree! After assessing the temperature, the male can act accordingly. If the nest is too hot, he removes some of the sand covering the nest. If the nest is too cold, the male adds sticks to produce more heat, and sand to insulate the mound from the surroundings. The temperature must be kept at exactly 33 degrees Celsius, and must be maintained to within one degree in order for the unborn chicks to survive while still in the nest.
This scenario gives rise to important questions: (1) How did the mallee fowl "know" to pile sticks and other debris inside the nest in order to moderate the temperature? (2) Why (and how) did such a temperature-evaluating device arise (in the form of a tongue)? Tough questions—the answers to which lie in the intricate design of this amazing bird that is attributable to the Great Designer.

I just received an email from a concerned citizen from Montville, NJ asking for help from my organization. I decided to go a step further and ask you guys for your support too. The email below pretty much explains everything.
"Dear Pastafarians at Rutgers,
Ahoy, mateys.
I need some Pastafarian help right here in NJ.
My town (Montville, NJ) insists on spending taxpayer money on displaying religious icons (e.g. money to buy and erect a nativity scene and menorah), but refuses to answer my request that they stop. I have also said that if they will not stop, then they should similarly promote other religions (I specifically requested a FSM display!) to avoid preferential support of only selected religious faiths.
Could you or someone at Rutgers University Pastafarians please send even a one sentence letter/email to my Mayor asking her to answer my request that my township stop spending taxpayer money on displaying religious icons? Or, see if you can get the town to pay for a similar tribute to the Almighty Noodley One (which would be a real laugh and a real score if the town had to, to avoid preferential religious treatment).
In reply to my emails, Mayor Neilson has indicated that she will not respond to my request (she is ignoring my request to give our Flying Spaghetti Monster equal tribute like the judeo-christian displays!)
Perhaps if Rutgers Pastafarians sent a letter/email to my Mayor this student activism would get her attention and prompt a more respectful reply than I have been able to obtain as a regular citizen?
See the emails below if you need more details.
Here are their email addresses:
"Mayor Deborah Nielson" [email protected]
"Deputy Mayor James Sandham Jr" [email protected]
Postal mailing address for all 3 of these above:
Montville Municipal Building
195 Changebridge Road
Montville, NJ 07045-9498
Please let me know if Rutgers Pastafarians can help. It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you and Ramen.
Resident of Montville, NJ"

We may be nearly full this year, but 2011 is wide open with only a couple of bookings to date (four to be exact).
At the moment the silly problem is that until we have entered prices, no one can book online. The obvious answer is to decide on prices but how does one anticipate what will be the cost of oil, electricity, insurance, business tax, not to mention all the bits and bobs we always put in to the barns to make our guests' lives easier…?
So we have come to the conclusion we will try to make an intelligent estimate, aiming higher rather than too low – one can always reduce a price but it is not good practice to increase a price once it has been advertised.
During 2010 any price increase for 2011 is all irrelevant anyway, because anyone booking this year uses this year's prices
When you book online we will automatically discount the advertised price when we process the payment.
At least it will mean if you want to plan ahead you now can book next year to your heart's content. However, it will be more important than ever that you seriously consider taking out holiday cancellation insurance.
Rest assured that if your plans change and you need to change your dates some time beforehand we can usually arrange that, with time in hand. It will just incur a nominal £10 'botheration' admin charge. If we have to advertise the dates at a discounted rate, we will pass on what we receive, less the £10.
It is the last minute cancellations or need to change dates that happen too late for us to re-sell the dates that would leave you still having to pay for the holiday although unable to take it. From our point of view, we would almost certainly have let the dates given enough time. It is only fair that it is you and not we who bear the responsibility for the cost of the cancelled holiday. Holiday cancellation insurance does seem the answer!

Game Three: Denver 94, Clippers 87
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Fri, 04/28/06, 12:28am:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
Clipperblog found himself dealing with the door 'n' window guy until 715 PDT, was frazzled getting out of the house to watch the game on CB Webmaster's big screen and forgot to set the TivoTM. As a result, readers who are accustomed to in depth analysis may find Clipperblog's Game Three recap lacking - but then again, so were the Clips.
- There's a fine line where an injured ballplayer's will to play abuts his ability to work on, say, a bad set of wheels. Chris Kaman straddled that line tonight and we'll never know if (a) a healthy Kaman would've made the difference (b) a platoon of Waltah McCarty and Zeke Rebraca could've mitigated the disaster on the offensive boards that we anticipated going into the game. Kaman had 4 turnovers, went 1-6 from the field and couldn't box out to save his life. In the third quarter, he actually fouled Earl Boykins on the perimeter while Denver was in the bonus in a one point game.
- Another byproduct of Kaman's injury and ineffectualness was Dunleavy's decision to go small, essentially playing Elton as his big man. This allowed Karl to put Camby on Brand - a tremendous size advantage for Denver and an impossible situation for Brand. When Najera wasn't running under screens and annoying EB for much of the first half, Camby was abusing him in the second half with Kaman on the bench. Brand recorded three turnovers, went 6-15, got to the line for only three pairs of free throws, and was abused on the glass (especially when you consider that Kaman was a non-factor) - all in all, a lousy night by his standards,
- The rebounding fiasco is baffling. Only Miami and Jersey did a better job than the Clippers on the defensive glass in the regular season. And Denver was middle-of-the-pack on the offensive boards this season. This prompts the question: How has Denver built a +21 advantage in this category? Denver plays a midget at the 2; their center, by and large, plays away from the basket; they have a PF in Elson who has only one of Denver's 2,359 offensive rebounds in the series. Martin is out. My wild theory is that Dunleavy's penchant for having his bigs employ the trap keeps them out on the perimeter - enough that guys like Najera can squirt through the paint and crash the boards. Then again, Dunleavy has been doing this all season. So...Ma Nishtanah?
Anyone have a better guess? Because I'm at a complete loss apart from that.
- On that same note, it's really, really, really difficult to win a basketball game in which the other team gets off 10 more FGA and 15 more FTA than your team. Think about it for a second. Let's be conservative and say that, in those additional attempts, the opponent will shot 30% from the field and only 60% from the line. Well, that's 15 extra points. If that's the case, you better be lighting it up from downtown or hitting at a serious clip from the field.
- Dunleavy's decision to put Ross on the ball when he reentered the game in the second quarter seemed to work. Once again, 'Melo was held in check by a variety of defensive looks - and the Clippers exposed his inability to pass out of the double team with some vicious traps. When Ross defended 'Melo straight up, he was able to stay in front him. And a good number of 'Melo's trips to the line were non-shooting fouls in the penalty. This was the highlight in what was another stellar defensive effort by the Clippers - a game in which they held Denver to 37.8% shooting, Carmelo to six field goals and limited Miller's penetration.
No Nugget shot over 50% from the field. Not one.
- NBA lifer Dick Bavetta is a favorite of mine, but I was hoping to watch some basketball tonight, weren't you? 68 fouls? That's one every 42 seconds. And Francisco Elson is the first guy I ever recall fouling out in the third quarter. Ralph and Mike maintained that a closely called game favored the Clippers, but I'm not so sure. I'm more than happy to see the Clippers get into a shooting contest with Denver from the field.
What will Kaman's status be for Saturday? Is it safe to say that there's enough evidence at this point to suggest that the current rotation will continue to cough up a ton of extra shots to the Nugs? Can the Clips create some space for Elton to work, especially if Kaman is out and Karl sticks Camby on him again?
Stay tuned...

The intelligence community - not the White House, State Department or Justice Department - was responsible for the substantive changes made to the talking points distributed for government officials who spoke publicly about the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, the spokesman for the director of national intelligence said Monday.
The unclassified talking points on Libya, developed several days after the the deadly attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, were not substantively changed by any agency outside of the intelligence community, according to the spokesman, Shawn Turner.
Republican criticism of the talking points intensified last Friday following a closed door hearing with former CIA Director David Petraeus.
Rep. Peter King, R-New York, told reporters after the hearing that the original talking parts drafted by the CIA had been changed and it was unclear who was responsible.
"The original talking points were much more specific about al Qaeda involvement and yet final ones just said indications of extremists," King said.
The September 11 attack resulted in the death of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
The unclassified talking points were first developed by the CIA at the request of the House Intelligence Committee, whose members wanted to know what they could say publicly about the Benghazi attack.
Benghazi talking points omitted link to al Qaeda
The initial version included information linking individuals involved in the attack to al Qaeda, according to a senior U.S. official familiar with the drafting of the talking points. But when the document was sent to the rest of the intelligence community for review, there was a decision to change "al Qaeda" to "extremists." The official said the change was made for legitimate intelligence and legal reasons, not for political purposes.
"First, the information about individuals linked to al Qaeda was derived from classified sources," the official said. "Second, when links were so tenuous - as they still are - it makes sense to be cautious before pointing fingers so you don't set off a chain of circular and self-reinforcing assumptions. Third, it is important to be careful not to prejudice a criminal investigation in its early stages."
Some Republican members of Congress suggested the change came from within the Obama administration - from the White House, the Justice Department, or another government agency.
Turner, the spokesman for National Intelligence Director James Clapper, said that was not the case.
"The intelligence community made substantive, analytical changes before the talking points were sent to government agency partners for their feedback," Turner said, referring to the White House, Justice Department, State Department, Pentagon and FBI. "There were no substantive changes made to the talking points after they left the intelligence community," he said.
The House Intelligence Committee was not satisfied with Turner's statement.
"The statement released this evening by the DNI's spokesman regarding how the Intelligence Community's talking points were changed gives a new explanation that differs significantly from information provided in testimony to the Committee last week," said committee spokeswoman Susan Phalen. "Chairman Rogers looks forward to discussing this new explanation with Director Clapper as soon as possible to understand how the DNI reached this conclusion and why leaders of the Intelligence Community testified late last week that they were unaware of who changed the talking points."
The White House on Friday said it made only one change, substituting the word "mission" for "consulate."
The FBI requested a change in language which originally stated the U.S. "knew" Islamic extremists participated in the attack. According to a U.S. intelligence official the wording was changed to "there are indications" Islamic extremists participated.
Obama administration continues explanations on Benghazi decision-making
The drumbeat of criticism began early on with Republicans criticizing the Obama administration for publicly saying the attack grew out of a spontaneous protest against an anti Muslim video on the web even though the Republicans claim the administration knew it was a planned terrorist attack.
The harshest criticism has focused on Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, who used the talking points as the basis for comments she made on Sunday talk shows five days after the attack. During her appearances, Rice said a small number of people came to the mission in reaction to demonstrations occurring in Cairo over the anti-Muslim film, but the Benghazi protest was hijacked by armed extremists. She never mentioned terrorists.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Michigan, said this isn't about parsing words. "There was some policy decisions made based on the narrative that was not consistent with the intelligence that we had. That's my concern," Rogers said last Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Former CIA Director Petraeus told lawmakers last Friday there were multiple streams of intelligence, some that indicated Ansar al Sharia was behind the attack, according to an official with knowledge of the situation. But other intelligence indicated the violence at the Benghazi mission was inspired by protests in Egypt over the anti Muslim video.
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-California, told CNN on Monday that Petraeus explained why the talking points were changed.
"Gen. Petraeus made it clear that that change was made to protect classified sources of information, not to spin it, not to politicize it and it wasn't done at the direction of the white house. That really ought to be the end of it, but it isn't. So we have to continue to go around this merry go round, but at a certain point when all the facts point in a certain direction, we're going to have to accept them as they are and move on," Schiff said.

Great blog here! Also your site loads up very fast! What web
host are you using? Can I get your affiliate link to your host?
I wish my website loaded up as quickly as yours lol
Some one needs to tell Obamas mouth piece that when your Government lies and misleads it's citizens that is a big deal.
This news agency has down played this. Makes me wonder if they know what real news is or do they even care that our government lies to us!
So people will believe anything they read if it allows them to keep living in their bubble.
Remember when Obama claimed he called it a terrorist attack the day after in the second debate?
Now, a month later, we're back to "We didn't know, we thought it was a demonstration" even though we know the State Department and the CIA had access to a live video of the ambassador getting dragged out of the consolate... a demonstration that ran till 4:00 in the morning. ...with mortars and rockets,
And so now we are supposed to believe that these same people read what the CIA put into the report, but they "disagreed" and removed all references to what happened, and finalized a report that claimed this was a demonstration, and Susan Rice read it.. and..
You see? People will believe anything they read if it allows them to keep living in their bubble.
Just out of curiosity, what is the chattering conspiracy theorist reason why the CIA would change up the talking points? What possible reason, other than the one stated by General Petraeus could there be? What possible benefit could there be to "cover up" for the week-long period the initial reports and subsequent estimate?
Or could it be that you will say anything, yes anything, to try to reduce the esteem of the public in the present administration?
I must say it pleases me even more that the President won the election as I see the loathsome behavior of its enemies.
In my case, I just read the statements, assumed they meant what they said, and I am for one quite satisfied with the explanation. Your mile may vary, but if you are going to call foul, why not cite to the harm? Or isn't there one, and you are just yapping as mindlessly as are the dull three Senators whose careers will be forever tarnished as a result?
Just because they decided not to use the words "Al Qaeda" does not mean that it wasn't a terror attack nor does it change the fact that the President called it an "act or terror" all the same. Susan Rice did give the disclaimer that this was an ongoing investigation and that what she gave was their best assessment based on the information they had at the time. I do not think that they were obligated to tell anyone that they watched the attack in real time either. A lot of people are whining about this incident when we have had thousands of attacks on Americans during the Bush Administration that kind of went overlooked by both the media and right-wing politicians.
JOHN McCAIN IS STILL HARBORING A SEVERE DEBILITATING BITTERNESS FOR HIS 2008 ELECTION LOST TO PRESIDENT OBAMA
It is pathetic and sad that millions can easily see the bitterness John McCain harbors against President Obama. The 'cranky old McCain' despises the 'smart, young, good looking Obama' because Obama beat him in the 2008 Presidential election.
Get over it John, your bitterness is turning your soul into something very dark & wicked. Evil enough for you to make an attempt at destroying an innocent woman's character just so you can get back at President Obama. Sad, sad, sad!
Cut & Paste from Al Jazeera:
Libya says US consulate attack 'pre-planned'
President Magarief, in an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera, says he believes al-Qaeda is responsible.

When the CIA 'classifies' something, that does not matter to those not under the CIA's jurisdiction. What is it that you do not understand about this? How is the CIA going to keep the President of Libya from saying something that the CIA considered 'classified'? Explain that one to us.
Why would the CIA even tell the president of libya? Whoever he is.
The President of Libya corrected Obama's all-to-obvious (at least those other than his worshipers) lie. There was no need to classify the information. There was no need to invent a story about a mob. There was no need to continue the mob fairytale for WEEKS after the Libyan President called him on his lie. Unless, perhaps, you're in a close election, you just said "al Qaeda is on the path to defeat" in your 9/6 acceptance speech, and you have no shame.
KBNJ: once again, I think you are giving too much power to the President of Libya. Contrary to your belief, our President does not and never will get his talking points from the President of Libya. Our POTUS gets his tallking points on matters of national security (of which this was) from the CIA. Where do you get this stuff?
Generally, things are classified to keep them secret. When the whole world, except maybe a gaggle of Obama adorers, already know the truth, there's not much point in classifying it. In fact, over-classifying information is WORSE than "under-classifying" it. We're supposed to be an open Government. "We the People..", remember? The SOLE reason we classify information is for National Security. When the whole world know something, it's not classified. Period.
Well, if you are concerned about what information is classified and what is not, then you will have to take that up with the CIA as they make these decisions, not I.
In addition, if you read an earlier post from me, I stated that most people were aware from the start that this was a terrorist attack and did not have much to do with the video. Did we know it? No. Did the President of Libya know it? No. This is why he said, and I quote 'I believe' instead of 'I know'.
Regardless, if the CIA says something is classified, then this applies to everyone under their jurisdiction which includes the POTUS and our Ambassador to the UN but does not include the President of Libya. If Obama or Rice had leaked classified information, then they would be to blame. They didn't and therefore they aren't to blame. Not that facts will stop you and your ilk.
@KBNJ....................You need to lay off the coffee man! You are taking conspiracies to a all new level. Let the investigation complete its course. We'll see what happened and why. You're going to have a stroke if you keep this up.
By the way, "unequivocally stated Al-Qaeda was responsible for the attacks" (from a previous claim from you), and "says he believes al-Qaeda is responsible" do not equate. Do you have a reading comprehension problem or something?
Four days after the attack he BELIEVES it was pre planned and an act by a particular terrorist group. Did he also happen to mention why the help we sent was detained by the Libyans at the airport for hours instead of being let go to help? You people are focusing on one particular aspect of the situation that has absolutely no relevance on the events that occurred. Get your priorities straight and focus on real questions and not nonsense that helps you justify your hate.
So Mr. America believes Al jazeera. Amazing.
Those are people we call fake Americans.
Yeah, I also found it quite ironic that he would quote Al Jazeera, given that they are a Muslim-run news source. Not that I mind, as I read Al Jazeera often and find them very professional.
Per one of your other statements that suggest a reason for a so called lie was because of the upcoming election. Since the explanation changed to include that it was in fact a pre planned terrorist attack, your claim to the reason for the so called lie has no merit. We also see that no matter what it was initially called and later changed too, had no effect what so ever on the election, since he did in fact win a second term. Logic is your friend.
homie lied and Americans died, put him in a gas chamber
So long as you include GW and Darth Cheney for the lies that got us into the Iraq war.
"Homies" lie didn't kill anybody. They died before the press release, not after.
So you agree!
Homie lied.
Homie being Obama .. Obama Lied to the American People. WHY?????? To win the Election. Obama would do ANYTHING to win. And if you don't think that him and his administration LYING, after the fact that nothing could have been done to help the deceased and injured(as you pointed out "Home Lied, but they were already dead, nothing he could do" or something like that. Then the ONLY reason for him and the administration for not telling THE AMERICAN PEOPLE the truth was ????? oh yeah... to win the Election.
If there are still people out there that can't see that reasoning you never will...until it is too late, and then you might not even then.
p.s. It was never about Susan Rice being a young, black female... it was about someone with authority out and out LYING to us ... that would be you too!
And the troll feeds. Nom nom.
To whom are you refering to when you state "homie lied"?
Republicans sure can pivot quickly, I will give them that. Just a couple of weeks before the Benghazi incident, they were trying to get Obama impeached for leaking classified information. Now, they are trying to get him impeached for not leaking classified information. Nobody knows the meaning of the word 'hypocrite' as thoroughly as a Republican does.
LOL: The information was SO CLASSIFIED the President of Libya publicly corrected Susan Rice the next day and unequivocally stated Al-Qaeda was responsible for the attacks. Guess someone should have clued him in on the secret, huh? Didn't stop Obama from playing out the "mob" fairytale for a few more weeks, though.
Hmmm. So you think that the CIA controls the President of Libya?
KBNJ Your guy lost. Stop being bitter.
One of the reasons Obama won is the Press and his adoring fans believe everything he says without challenge. In truth, I don't think he's that bad a President and his foreign policy is FAR FAR FAR better than Bush's, whom I tried to vote out of office in round 2. BUT, and this is a HUGE BUTT, when a man as powerful as the President is given carte blanche to do and say what he pleases and the "Press" lovingly covers his butt, we've ALL got a problem regardless of how much you love him.
I can give you several reasons Obama won.
Saved the auto industry
Saved the financial industry
Kept country out of a depression
Killed Osama Bin Laden
Ended the Iraq war.
Ending the Afghanistan war (He should end it sooner)
32 months of job growth
Healthcare reform
Respect for women (lilly Ledbetter act)
Nuke deal with Russia to cut nukes
I'm tired of typing. I'll give you more reasons later.
"the President is given carte blanche to do and say what he pleases".
OMG! Are you delusional? Seriously, you can't be serious.
I think it is more:
Your guy won...Stop being so Bitter.
I have never seen/heard so many sore winners!
You should be happy happy happy!!
But everyone I speak to is mad.
The information was UNclassified information, not classified. Can't you read, Skarphace? Patraeus specifically called it Unclassified info, and said someone else changed it, but he didn't know who, after he sent it along. Then, in the Senate hearings last week, the Director of National Intelligence said he did not know who changed it, either. Now, today, the spokesperson for the Director of National Intelligence says the Director of National Intelligence was the one who changed them. Do you see how none of this adds up, or are you too wedded to your own ideals to see inconsistencies when they stare you in the face?
'Someone', meaning somebody in the CIA, classified it. They have said so. This was not Obama or Rice's call. To go against this would be to leak information, something that Obama was criticised for several times, even though there was no proof of such. Therefore, these allegations against Rice and Obama are baseless.
he didn't say Clapper changed it. He said somebody within the intel community did. Clapper said he would find out who changed it and he obviously did that is why his spokesman reported it yesterday. NOBOY, not Clapper, not the CIA, not the FBI and NOT Petraeus thought it was a big deal to change it from terrorist to extremist and they are all shocked at the stupid "controversy". And by the way, do you people really think that it was coincidence that the attacks occurred in the middle of protests throughput the region on the exact day and exact time? isn't it more likely, or certainly more logical to initially assume so, that it was an opportunistic attack that capitalized on the chaos of the protests throughout the region? and more importantly: is anybody out there with half a brain really thinks the distinction of whether it was terrorist or a mob would make a scintilla of a difference in the election when the overwhelming majority of the people indicated the number one reason is the economy and that they felt the president related to their problems? in fact, foreign policy was like near the bottom of reasons. This is just beyond weird. REPUBLICANS: DO YOUR JOB! help the country's economy and stop wasting time with this silly stuff.
People with rational minds always wonder why the Republicans keep sniffing after conspiracies where there are none instead of just doing real work. Well, after reading many of these posts I realize that there are a lot of dopes out there who WANT to believe in these silly conspiracy theories. They are the Republican base.

All global media corporations have been in a communist (before 1991)/socialist (after 1991) conspiracy to defame Conservatism for five generations.
The Social Security Administration is purchasing hollow-point bullets to shoot and kill Americans with.
And now, Conservatism's latest product:
"Obama laughs as dying ambassador begs for help. 'Allah is Great,' Obama is reported to have screamed."
Luckily, the 'Republican Base' seems to be shrinking year after year. Hopefully, the Libertarian base will continue to grow and will eventually replace these freaks.
Skarphace – I actually agree with this. I'm not glad that obama won, as I feel he is not what is best for our country at this moment, but I am glad the "republican party" lost because they offered up basically the same person in 2008 as well as 2012 – both of them were "RINOs" who then took a conservative VP pick.
I would LOVE to see a viable 3rd party, someone who espouses fiscal conservatism while NOT being concerned about social issues.
Well, then we agree on something. See, not all of us who are Democrats are anti-America. I would have probably voted for Ron Paul if the Republicans had nominated him (probably, being based on the Presidential debates between Obama and Paul which I would have absolutely loved to see), and I would have definitely voted for Huntsman over Obama (I am actually hoping that Huntsman runs as a Democrat in 2016 because the Republicans will never nominate him).
Regardless, I voted for Obama because although I don't think he is the best for our country, I think that Romney would have been the worse of the two, by far. At least with Obama, you know where he stands. With Romney, not so much.
I think many in the republican party would like to see a candidate just as you describe, the problem is the pact the repubs have made with the tea party devils and radical right wing evangelicals. Sadly, it's causing many moderate repubs to resign or be ousted. I think the repubs know that they've got to do what you describe – which is why I think the next election we'll see the Tea PArty split off into their own party. It's the only hope.
Excellent point! I think America is growing tired of the foolishness. Where is the "like" button?
I'm a republican and it doesn't take much to see that the Obama administration and its minions�rice, axelrod, carney, gibbs, etc�just did a lot of lying to cover up the facts. It is people such as yourself who behave like cattle and accept everything that's said to them. I never haver nor will I ever accept what a politician has to say without examining the facts. The fact that our lying thug President wants us to accept that someone in the "intel community" took it upon himself or herself to change a memo of this importance is not something anyone with more than two cell brains would believe. It's analogous to your kid telling you "the dog ate my homework"�grow up and look at facts without needing someone to tell you what you're looking at�.
I have 2 questions for this administration......why was the ambassador in Benghazi on 9/11 when they knew about all of the threats and did someone order back-up military to stand down the night of the attack. If so, who gave the order and why. This is not a political thing. It is a matter of National Security.
So you think it would be a good idea if every year on 9/11 the US pulled all of it's diplomats from every middle eastern and african country? You don't think that would be seen as a sign of weakness? Thank goodness you are not responsible for these decisions.
From what I have read, the Pentagon did not want to put troops into the situation until they understood what the situation was. A general said he was going to mount a rescue mission no matter what the Pentagon said. The Pentagon ordered his second in command to relieve the general. I forget the general's name.
You don't voluntarily put your troops into an unknown situation, not knowing if they can actually accomplish the mission and come out alive.
From what I understand, you're an incredible imbecile farting absurd nonsense about that which you know entirely not poop. But does total ignorance stop you from farting foolish FUD? OF COURSE not. Complete and utter ignorance would only give not stupid people pause.
Why don't we all stay home and pull the covers over our head until 9/11 passes.
What about 12/21 then? *shivers*
I forgot about that! If the world doesn't end, can we please stop with that nonsense! If it does end, forget I said this.
"The intelligence community – not the White House, State Department or Justice Department – was responsible for the substantive changes made to the talking points"
Umm...Who runs the show? The intelligence community can recommend anything they want, but ultimately it's the President's, or Congress's call, NOT the CIA's. Congress says they didn't know. The leaves one man, and ONLY one man responsible: President Obama. And Obama not only sent Rice out with talking points that had me scratching my head, but kept the "mob" story alive for WEEKS, even after the President of Libya firmly corrected Rice the very next day.
partisan crap.
In other words, it does not conform to Conservative Propaganda.
Very, very wrong. It is the job of the CIA to determine what information is classified and what is not. Not even the President can override the CIA. The CIA is not part of the White House and therefore is not under their jurisdiction. You are quite missinformed.
You do realize that no one man runs the country right? So if we go by your statement, we should have divulged information that would have put our CIA informants or plants in danger? You can't have it both ways. You can either have all the facts and put more people in danger, or you can come to terms with the fact that some information needs to be held to protect our people.
As noted, Congress and the President run the country. Congress apparently wasn't in the loop. That's a problem on it's own. The CIA makes recommendations. The President/Congress have a responsibility to NOT over-classify information. If they wanted to redact "Al-Qaeda" for security reasons, fine. But maybe they should have clued the President of Libya in on the little ploy, because he specifically stated the day after Rices tour that it was Al-Qaeda, and THAT news traveled around the world, making us look a bit silly. AND, after that, Obama makes NO corrections to the story for WEEKS?!?! Come, on folks, use your BRAINS!
Didn't you get my memo. It's time for Republicans to stop being the party of stupid.
You are complaining about a press release! 4 Americans dead, small details. All that matters to you is what was said in a press release. sad.
That was just Jindal's way of positioning himself for 2016. Christie and Rubio have been making similar moves, away from Romney and towards the center. However, Republicans will never nominate a minority, so that puts Jindal and Rubio out of the question. It will probably come down to either Christie, as the moderate, and Ryan, as the Tea favorite.
The POUS follow intel ! Just like Bush for the WMD ! And now you are concerned. There are four American dead. Get a grap. I was in the military 30 years....you follow intel. Now maybe the POUS should have asked more questions. But it was eaarly in the intel collection process.
You follow intel. You know what it will rain tomorrow...blame the POUS !
In the past, the GOP has gotten away with this nonsense. (By nonsense, I am referring to your comments, in case you were not clear.) It seems like maybe a time is now beginning where they no longer will. Hopefully, that is the case.
Attention Conservatives: The Benghazi yarn needs some work. It is not a lie with traction, like Death Panels or Liberal Media.
Let's put something about Kenya into it. How about this?
"Guns were smuggled by Fast & Furious through Mexico to Communist Venezuela and then transported by Kenyan Navy Vessels to Benghazi, where the ambassador was selling them to Islamic terrorists. The income from the weapons sales went to finance Planned Parenthood Abortion Clinics.
"It was Obama himself who had the compound burned in an effort to destroy the evidence, which is why Obama refuses to close Guantanamo."
Go with that. I think you'll see that is has a lot more traction.
You guys can't govern, but your Propaganda is very good, a little crude maybe.
Steve Colbert would admire your sarcasm...but please, as a former Marine with an intell background residing in Arkansas, I ask you to include Olly North and the Mena Airport. Credit ,please.
Sounds exactly like Republican hype.....You should have offered to sell it to them before putting it out on the web!
So it turns out that all the criticism of Rice and all the allegations that Obama lied and that he was somehow responsible for the deaths in Benghazi all comes down to a misunderstanding of the word 'classified'. Color me surprised.
Therefore, I will clear it up for you Republicans. If the CIA considers something 'classified' then you cannot speak about it in public, whether you are the UN Embassador or the President. Is that clear enough for you?
The bottom line is that all Congressmen who criticised Rice and who called Obama a liar owe us all an apology. However, if that happened it WOULD surprise me.
The last Conservative who took responsibility for his actions was Robert E Lee
I don't think you could truthfully classify Robert E. Lee as a conservative. After all, HE freed his slaves... unlike certain generals on the Union side.
Isn't it John McCain's witch hunt?
SHHHHH. Don't talk too loud. You may wake john. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I support America's CIA and FBI and the rest of our Intelligence organizations. They are professionals, and certainly know a whole lot more about intelligence than anyone on here.
Our President, our Congressmen, our Intelligence Community – these are smart people, almost all of them smarter than us at what they do.
It is fun to come on here and toss around jokes and criticisms, but don't ever lose sight of the fact that we entrust leaders and experts to protect us. We are not out there ourselves.
If the intelligence experts felt they would have a better chance catching the bad guys by not announcing their plans to the whole world, I respect their judgement.
All the other noise on here is simply noise ... fun ... but worthless. (oh by the way, every Embassy worker in the world knows they are in danger 365 – 31 died under Bush, and every worker in the world knows the risk).
First off, they are not "gods" – they are humans. As such, they are fallible, and prone to corruption. They make mistakes. They lie. They cheat. They steal.
The people we "elect" are there to work for us, NOT the other way around. They are, in fact, PUBLIC SERVANTS. The Founding Fathers did NOT intend for a "politician" to be a career, but rather a break in one's "real" life whereby he would go & serve the people, then come back to his "real life."
Propping these guys up on pedastools & saying things like "they are smarter than us" is how dictators are born, and how monarchies start. They are NO better than us, and the sooner some of you remember that, the better off we all will be!
I think what he was saying is that they are far better at their jobs than we would be. Otherwise, we would have their jobs. Regardless, if the CIA says something is classified, then it is classified. I don't know how you can criticise Rice or Obama for not leaking classified information.
Lib – you make a valid point, and no, these are not 'gods'.
I trust our intelligence community and our Republican Generals were honest in their intention to save American lives, and they thought announcing their 'game plan' in advance to the entire world would not help catch the bad guys.
These are Democrats, Republicans, non-political types, and there just ain't no conspiracy going on here ...
speak for yourself – I'm pretty well convinced I could do the jobs of most modern politicians better than them, regardless of party. Today's "politicians" in the US Gov are an affront and embarrassment to the legacy of the Founding Fathers.
U know good and well there r no monarchies or dictatorships happening in America. Just deal with the fact that ur grand ol party got it wrong this time. People have been beating this dead horse (bengahzi) with a stick to see if it will move. Guess what it's not going any where.
People don't trust their government because it's part of our foundation. We were born out of a revolution. If our country was going to b a monarchy or a dictatorship it would have started that way. Our country started free and will remain so.
Sly – you "trust" the intelligence community, eh? So did you "trust" them during the ramp up to Iraq (you know, when they said that Iraq had WMDs?). Or what about regarding 9/11? Or what about the waterboarding?
Sorry, you can't "pick & choose" when you trust, and do not trust them, based off of who is in office. You either "trust" them or you do not. Otherwise, you're just playing political games, which is laughable.
Libacryte: you could do a better job than our CIA operatives? Then go for it. Arguing on a blog will get you nowhere.
Liba – I 'trust' that our intelligence community is telling us what they want us to know in order to help accomplish their objective – in this case to catch the bad guys. (I dont think they were trying to get somebody elected).
That said, I don't always believe that what they tell us is the truth. I think they fed us the WMD story in order to accomplish their goal – which would appear to be to topple Saddam.
I don't think they are telling the truth about 9/11 – too fishy. Airplane engines don't bounce 3 miles on the dirt. But that was their way of not having to tell American's that we shot that airplane out of the sky, which would have made people mad.
a grain of truth here...what the professionals have said is "we didn't trust the politicians to stay off camera and let us work"...they were right.
The GOP keeps going round and round in circles over this and they are getting nowhere and wasting tax payer money. Come on GOP, you can't score as many political points as you thought off these 4 dead Americans so why don't you just give it a rest and pass a freaking budget!
"wasting taxpayer money" hahahahahahaha... ummmm, pot... it's the kettle... and ummmm... you're black (now watch some leftist nincompoop try to make that a racial statement) hahahahaha
Anybody who feels it necessary to say 'I am not a racist' probably is.
Skarphace – I didn't say that. I said (perhaps you should try to actually comprehend it this time) that someone will try to turn the old "pot calling the kettle black" saying into a racist comment. You know, like how you folks try to make it seem like if a classroom has a "Secret Santa" that somehow that means that it's offensive to those who don't believe in or celebrate Christmas? Political correctness, in addition to allowing our Gov to spend money it doesn't have, will be the death of this once great nation.
Let me give you other examples. 'No Spin Zone', 'Fair and Balanced'. If you feel the need to defend yourself before anybody even attacks you then you are feeling guilty of something. This was my point.
Skarphace – what about "tingly legs" example? Cut the crap. And personally, I don't care if you, or any of your bretheren call me stupid names like "racist" or whatever – that's all you guys can do – you're like the boy who cried wolf regarding using the word "racist" – you've rendered it meaningless, so much so that most ppl just roll their eyes when they hear that word thrown about. Good job!!
Just remember who brought up the 'race card'. Hint: it was not me.
They will NEVER get over the fact they lost the Presidency. Since the Supreme Court can't save them (and after this election, they will not have a rightie tightie court for decades. YIPPEE, YEHHAAAA, IN YO' FACE!!!!!) they are going to try and fall back to the old impeachment line of attack.
Gimme' a break... the man ultimately responsible fell on his sword (and he was a republican sweetheart, one who couldn't keep his willy in his pants, but a republican sweetheart nonetheless).
Listen, the sooner we get our men/women home, the better off we'll be. This won't happen anymore... at least not on FOREIGN SOIL. You want jobs? The men and women that come home can help get our infrastructure rebuilt and back up to standards. The Republicans want this to escalate, so we can enter into one more useless, pointless war... and for what? One more playing chip in the game. Congratulations <-please note sarcasm. The Intel Community itself stated that they were the ones that made the changes. The Republicans are STILL arguing that the administration made the changes... REPUBLICANS: Maybe you should consider in different terms... WHY would you want your enemy to know what you're thinking/planning/considering? WHY would you want them to know what you know? YOU DON'T!! It doesn't take a genius to figure that out. And to the Republicans who are still CRYING over the election, grab a kleenex, wipe your snotty nose, and move on. Don't say "Oh! Wait until the next mid-terms!" You barely held on to the seats you have, AND Democrats did win back a couple of seats in the Senate. Americans are done with YOU... that's why you lost the general election; and unless you can prove that, as a party, you can come to the table with ideas that will benefit ALL Americans, you WILL NOT take back the White House or the Senate. GET TO WORKING!!
You should change your name to "The Truth"
I live in Europe and am visiting this site.
Are you all for real or have some of you lost your ability to think clearly.
Why are you covering up for your President and his administration , of course there should be an investigation.
The Brits and the Red Cross pulled out of Benghazi a few weeks before the attack , why didn't you.??
Somebody was not doing their job , 4 people are dead and who is responsible for that.
factual answer : those who carried out the attack.
Your administration is responsible for the safety and security of employees serving abroad , this would be the State Department , hence the Brits were asked to leave.
Belle , your definition of "fair play" is a bit skewed. The government did not cause the deaths...those who carried out the armed attack did. It's a shame that you are wasting your life siding with terrorists. You must be rather young and immature.
The Brits pulled out!?! Really? The Brits never stay around for the fighting. And if we had done that, these repubtards would be crying that Obama cut and run and calling him an appeaser (like they already have been, though he has kicked way more actual a$$ than the bushie boys did) I actually think you are a troll, but let me say this... if you are truly from Europe as you say, then why don't you start off by thanking us that you aren't posting in German right now. That being said.... no one is against an Investigation.... not me anyway, but this is just actually some whine babies who are way more interested in a witch hunt than any real investigation. They always are when we have REAL President.
I speak 3 languages and yes German is one of them.
Of course the terrorists are responsible for the deaths , that doesn't mean there shouldn't be any accountability for actions before , during and after the attack.
Anyway , your commenting is too uncivil and not open minded enough , you are right and everybody else is wrong , so there is nothing to discuss.
The enquiry in to this is strictly political and must stop. It is a waste of time and does nothing to help this country. There are legitimate security reasons why some information was withheld from the public. When we go to the polls in 2014, we need to remember those politicians who were more concerned about politics than serving this country.
I don't buy your story dude. Why don't you try being honest with yourself and then people might listen to you. Lying about visiting from Europe gives you zero cred.
"Belle" has left us in a pique...when faced with reality he/she/it retreats with hurt delicate sensibilites.
Don't you have a lawn to mow because you should really get out and get some fresh air , your juvenile drivel is becoming really boring.
If you truly live in Europe and are not just another Teatroll, then this is absolutely none of your business. Butt out.
I do have dual nationality and all international affairs are of interest to me , so why do you resort to name calling , obviously you don't have anything else to say.
Oh, look. Libacryte just logged back in as Belle.
@belle You don't know republicans as well as we do. I wouldn't trust them if they said the sky was blue. republicans are bitter because they lost. If you want to really find out what is happening, watch any news EXCEPT FOX NEWS.
Ken: and you would be right, if you lived in Oregon as I do. This time of year (November through March) the sky is hardly ever blue. Here, it is almost always shades of gray.
Sorry about the DUCKS!
Ken: I am not. They didn't deserve to win. Stanford outplayed them, fair and square.
We didn't pull out because you guys did.
Someone had to stay and defend freedom instead of running away with their tail between their legs...hey but thanks for sticking around and help.
Do you think anyone is going to believe that the Inteligence Committee changed the Benghazi report to a-and I quote-"spontaneous demonstration" about a distasteful video. And sent Susan Rice out to 5 television stations to give this message to all the voters?
We are not talking a few words here--we are talking about the entire meaning of the report!
Shame of the media! Go back to journalism school!
go back and re-read the article ... not the legislative committee...the professional intelligence community... so that the load mouths wouldn't interfere with thier job. Nice work.
I agree , it is almost like we have a state owned media , like in Russia.
the "media" were not suppossed to get the whole truth...they would have broadcast it as a warning...like Geraldo showing the tank deployments on world TV.
I fully agree. It's almost like the CIA thinks it is their job to determine what information is classified and what is not. And it's almost like Rice and Obama fell right into their trap and failed to leak classified information (like the Republicans seem to have wanted although they would have criticised Obama even more if that had happend). Who would have thought?
The GOP, having already given up on science and more recently math (see GOP polling assuring a Romney landslide), appears now to disbelieve every thing they hear, regardless of source, unless it matches their ideological needs.
That rabbit hole is getting smaller and stranger by the day.
The intell community did the job as they thought best ...trying to keep politicians from weakening thier cababilities through public grandstanding ... not important to republicans who can't live without stepping into the "bully pulpit" of the angry press conference. Message to ALL stripes of politician : the professionals don't trust you to keep your big mouths shut.
If they had not changed the talking points and had, instead, released classified information about a classified CIA opperation the GOP would have been howling for Obama's head as well. Sorry Mr. President, you were darned no matter which route you took on this one. The GOP just can't get over the fact that they didn't win the Presidency.
Amen to that.

Get DiMarzio quality connecting your pedals.
DiMarzio pedal coupler cables are so rugged and durable that they carry a lifetime warranty. This jumper cable pedal coupler has 1 straight and 1 right-angle Switchcraft end, each encapsulated in super-tough thermoplastic resin that permanently bonds the plug to the cable.
Recognizing the need for a short jumper version of its famous guitar cables, DiMarzio now offers these professional grade cables in lengths that work for guitar effects pedals. These pedal couplers use the same U.S.-made nylon overbraid cable as in DiMarzio standard guitar cables, delivering maximum signal transmission and minimum high-frequency loss.

Comments about DiMarzio Jumper Cable Pedal Coupler Long Cable with 1 Straight and 1 Angled End:
A while ago I used a cheap, short cable to go from the pedal to the amp. I meant it as temporary, but then forgot to swap it out.
I use a 10-12 ft DiMarzio to the guitar. I finally replaced the short segment with this DiMarzio 3 ft jumper.
Classic slap-the-forehead moment! Wow. It sounded like I got a new guitar.
My only very slight reservation is the molded plastic ends, instead of the usual Switchcraft. But they seem solid, and are probably better, I don't know. There's nothing wrong with them, just not what I'm used to.
I would buy more DiMarzio cables whenever the need arises.
Comments about DiMarzio Jumper Cable Pedal Coupler Long Cable with 1 Straight and 1 Angled End:
Very well made. Color is easy to distinguish from other cables. Does not change the quality of the sound.
I have a ton of cables, but this is one of the best in my collection. You don't even know that it's there, and the sound is perfect from guitar, through the pedals, to the amp. Best of all, it doesn't take up alot of floor space. I will likely buy another in the future. Totally pleased!
Comments about DiMarzio Jumper Cable Pedal Coupler Long Cable with 1 Straight and 1 Angled End:
Had them for over two years, they're very handy, I use them constantly.
Why is it so hard to find a variety of Straight to Right Angle FX patch cables in Pedalboard freindly sizes? Dimarzio definitley fills the bill here, and it's about the only choice you have.
Awesome fit & finish, you don't have to worry about the connectors falling apart.
I just wish they weren't so dang expensive, I have to get by with just 1 pair....I need them for like 3 other FX Loops routings
Comments about DiMarzio Jumper Cable Pedal Coupler Long Cable with 1 Straight and 1 Angled End:
I recently downgraded from a Marshall Stack to a Fender Blues Deluxe. With the stack i used standard 6" patch cables to run from and to my effects loop. i just let my effects sit on the cab behind my head. now with the combo i dont have anything to set the pedals on but the floor itself. unfortunatly this left me the option of buying two long cables (6 foot at the shortest length) to run my pedals to and from my loop on the combo. These 36" cables are perfect for stuff like this. i have no use to turn my effects on and off. they are just part of the tone i like. so there is no need to run long cables to where i am standing. Concider these if you are doing the same thing. i just think its a bit pricey for a 3' cable.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. markets have been floating along in uneasy calm, with low volume, low volatility, and a looming fear that threats could soon rock that complacency. Such a threat may arrive in the coming days.
The markets are gearing up for some high-profile economic data that culminates with the monthly nonfarm payrolls report on Friday. Investors are also expecting potentially ground-shaking monetary policy actions from the European Central Bank when it concludes its meeting on Thursday. And that's after a U.S. manufacturing report on Monday that already provided a dose of excitement when it was corrected multiple times for calculation errors.
"This is a big week for the global capital markets," said analysts at Brown Brothers Harriman, who called it the "potentially most significant week of 2014."
The growing expectations on Wall Street that accompany this week's top-tier events would be enough to capture market attention in their own right. But they come amid a market lull that many investors believe is waiting for a jolt. The CBOE Volatility index VIX, +7.24% is near its lowest level in more than a year and stock trading volume remains tepid, as investors come to terms with minimal visibility about what's on the horizon.
Read more: Why stocks are being held back from a big breakout
The S&P 500 index SPX, -0.55% is up 4.1% on the year, but stock investors are casting a nervous eye at U.S. Treasurys, whose yields have defied most expectations and fallen sharply this year. The 10-year Treasury note US:10_YEAR yield is down nearly half a percentage point on the year, aided by the closing out of short positions as investors landed on the wrong side of the rising-rate trade. But as those trades begin to vanish, investors are wondering whether yields will reverse, igniting tumult across markets.
Here's what's in store for the rest of the week.
The economic calendar warms up with U.S. motor vehicle sales, part of a series of indicators that investors expect to show growth. Economists polled by MarketWatch project autos sold at an annualized pace of 16.1 million, up from 16.0 million in the prior month. A report on factory orders is also due out.
See the full economic calendar
Inflation in the euro-zone fell to its lowest level in more than four years last month, data showed Tuesday, adding to expectations the European Central Bank will take additional easing measures. Consumer prices rose by 0.5% in the twelve months through May, falling short of analyst forecasts. It was also well below the ECB's target rate of 2.0%.
After the data, the Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, -0.92% was down 0.6% on the session. The euro strengthened on the day to $1.3636.
The U.S. ADP employment report may provide clues about what to expect in the more highly-watched payrolls report. The reading on private-sector jobs growth last month showed 220,00 new positions.
