Two senior officials want to keep the the public in the know, however their points 9f view contradict the GOP'S take on the whole situation.

I wonder why the GOP doesn't want their interviews made public.

Can we say "politicizing" anyone?

Susan Rice, the U.N. Ambassator went around all the Sunday news shows after it happened and said the attack was the result of a spontaneous protest due to an anti-Islamic video on YouTube.  President Obama gave the same story in a few speeches after the event.  We know now that the State Department knew the entire time that it was a Terrorist attack with Al Qaeda links.  About 100 e-mail were released today regarding the event after it happened with no mention whatsoever of the video, and there's documentation that the talking points were altered around a dozen times.

They flat out, knowingly lied.

Evidence? Everything I've seen shows no such "proof". Was the administration wrong in the cause of the embassay attack immediately following the attack? Possibly, but that's how investigations work: you have an effect and you look for a cause. The cause is always fluid as more and more evidence comes in.

Now, you must know more about al Qaeda and the Syrian civil war than anyone in Congress be because I've read no substantial claims of al Qaeda's involvement in the embassy attack.

The whole "scandal" is GOP blustering. They're not interested in the truth, they're interested in fabricat8ng some sort of scandal to make the president they've been obstructing and a possible Democratic presidential candidate for 2016 look bad.

That's all.

Holy shit.  And you said I drank the Kool Aid?  Fabricated this?  Holy crap.  

Seriously, man.  I can't believe you bought into all this shit.

But, then you're probably thinking the same thing about me right now, so I guess its a wash.

There's in one thing I do think we can agree on: we aren't being told the truth, and we'd both like it known.

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me.

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea?

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

What's so innovative about the Apple Watch?

What's so innovative about the Apple Watch? What has Apple done since the launch of the iPhone that was truly innovative? I read articles all he time about features this and software that, but I haven't seen anything where it was definitively proven where Apple has been cutting edge for years. christopher rizzo called me a troll for questioning his religious adherence to Apple consumerism.  So, can someone explain where Apple is truly innovative? I'm not talking about a minor change like the USB-C port or "slide to unlock" but a true innovation that's once again changing the industry. http://www.fastcodesign.com/3043419/what-the-apple-watch-does-that-googles-watches-dont
