Panetta says Libya attack was terrorist operation


This is a little rambling, but it appears the administration is dropping the pretense that this was something other than a terrorist attack.  Panetta also discusses al Qaeda threats elsewhere in Africa.

Jack Tapper reports that other administration officials were also concerned about the cover up regarding teh attack at the time they trotted out Ambassador Rice to make the false suggestion that it was somehow related to a movie they had not seen.

Tapper seems to be one of the few members of the media with integrity when it comes to challenging the administration narratives.  I think he sees this as a scandal of Watergate proportions.  The scandal maybe why other in the media have no sense of outrage at being lied to about a matter of national security.

The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
