I'm saying that a technology has to exist in Nairobi for the Kindle to get the book. Cell towers or something.
Hi, Christie, can you hear me now?
Kenyans use cell phones for everything from buying groceries to paying rent...

Stop it, my side already hurts from the other thread.
More likely it hurts from the effort of moving that goalpost...

How long until you are "moved on" again?

Althea told me...
All the fluff aside, what the 60 minutes segment proved was this:A shout-out to Howey for this.
Conservatives are out in force this morning claiming Lara Logan's segment on CBS' 60 Minutes is evidence their yearlong effort to convert the tragedy in Benghazi into a political scandal was warranted. Far from it -- it is the latest Benghazi Hoax.
From watching the 60 Minutes segment, you would be led to believe there is a "lingering question" involving the U.S. military's response to the September 11, 2012, terrorist attack on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya. The report did not let viewers know that an anti-terrorism team was deployed from Spain, along with Special Forces based in the United States and Croatia. None of these forces even made it to Libya until 11 hours after our diplomatic and CIA teams had been evacuated.
Furthermore, the belief that the military did not do everything it could to rescue those in Benghazi has been contradicted by former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen, current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey, and former Secretaries of Defense Leon Panetta and Robert Gates.
Claims that the military didn't do everything it could to help those in Benghazi go hand-in-hand with the conspiracy that a "stand down" order was issued to a Special Forces team in Tripoli. Even congressional Republicans have debunked this claim:
"Contrary to news reports, Gibson was not ordered to 'stand down' by higher command authorities in response to his understandable desire to lead a group of three other special forces soldiers to Benghazi."
While those interviewed during the 60 Minutes report decried the lack of funding for embassy security, the program failed to note:
For fiscal 2013, the GOP-controlled House proposed spending $1.934 billion for the State Department's Worldwide Security Protection program -- well below the $2.15 billion requested by the Obama administration. House Republicans cut the administration's request for embassy security funding by $128 million in fiscal 2011 and $331 million in fiscal 2012.
The 60 Minutes piece follows the same pattern as every other element of The Benghazi Hoax we've witnessed for the past 13 months. Supposedly new revelations promoted by different media outlets are simply worn-over versions of the same hoaxes debunked months before; context that would provide critical information to viewers or readers is missing; and the right-wing media exaggerate the new allegations to something unrecognizable from the original report.
Nothing in the 60 Minutes report implicated Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton in any wrongdoing leading up to the attack in Benghazi -- in fact their names were never mentioned. But conservatives are already on the attack against the president and former secretary of state. Evidence, context, and truth don't matter as long as tragedy can be converted into political scandal.
Already this morning, cheered on by Fox News, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is using the CBS report as the pretext for blocking every Obama appointment before the United States Senate until "the survivors [of Benghazi] are being made available to the Congress" -- never mind that they have already answered questions from numerous investigators and that the Senate has access to those interviews.
Once again, rather than do the country's business, conservatives, led by their media, would rather halt the work of government in an attempt to score political points with their base.

Stevens was warned that there was a 100% chance that AQ was going to attack Benghazi...as the third leg of their promised attacks that had already been carried out.
He chose to leave Tripoli, against Washington's plan.
Anything else is just plain politicking.

You know that, I know that, anybody with two working brain cells to rub together knows that.
Oh wait, that explains it...
1) I never said Benghazi was made up, its a city in Libya, not a made up city.
2) I am not sure they taught you this in what ever Community College you failed out of, but calling something stupid is not an argument or intelligent point. You have to explain why you think its stupid.

Good luck with that!
Fast and Furious......they admitted that guns were sold to drug dealers, flooded Mexico, and were used to kill a border agent
IRS.......................they admitted they targeted right leaning organizations and held up decisions for years concerning tax status while liberal counterparts were
dealt with in a speedy manner and approved for tax exempt status ... the trail led right to White House personal.
Benghazi................they admitted that security was inadequate, that no rescue was attempted, they lied to the public for weeks about the fact that it was
a planned terrorist attack, etc.
Obamacare............the fiasco speaks for itself. The incompetence is so obvious it needs no further explanation
In every case, no one lost an hours pay or was fired from a job....and in the case of th IRS, those responsible should have been arrested and sent to prison.
It pays to have the msm in your pocket so the story gets little to no traction. An ignorant citizentry is Obamas bread and butter and msm makes
sure he gets just that.
