Chicken-Shit From The Wall Street Journal

    Good money goes to my Wall Street Journal subscription and precious time is spent reading it and, later at night, listening to its staff on the John Batchelor Radio Show. I want more courage and less timidity of the elites. I consider WSJ an elite based upon it merit and know that it probaby has to be somewhat of political elite if it's going to survive being as honest as I think it usually is. But I want to see balls as well as intellect especially when I go out on the limb saying Obama and Hillary are murderers for not sending in a military rescue to Benghazi. I'd like some company, WSJ.  In your editorial today,"  Clinton's Benghazi Cover Story" you noted rightly that there was no military rescue during the 13 hour intermittent gun battle nor was there a plan for one. Impoverished Syrian refugees cross the Mediterranean by the thousands but our armed forces on which we the people spent trillions every year can't get across it. Nor can the mighty NATO which is stupidly pumping up it's muscle around the borders of Russsia get anyone to Libya either. Do you really think your readers, not the populist hoi polloi except for me perhaps who don't read you, but the elite of American business people who read you, are not demanding that you address that farce of "too far away." You didn't mention the unarmed drone over Benghazi either. Where did that come from?  You also didn't mention that the aid to the ambassador's residence and the aid from Tripoli were unauthorized. In both cases, Navy Seals did the right thing, the American thing (that's American exceptionalism) and headed out. The military and CIA elites basically gave in because they knew how traitorous and immoral their  refusal to let the Seals go was. Thankfully, two Deltas had some honor and courage too and accompanied the Tripoli Seal. You didn't note that none of the Seals were medaled, but the two Deltas were. Virtue again is its only reward. It was a chicken-shit editorial, and Mary, whom I listen to on the John Batchelor show, as head of the editorial board should hang her head in shame  and then get a testosterone shot stat! If her head can't tell her how to act like a woman, maybe her male hormones will.
WSJ had a tremendous amout to editoralize about, but it deserted its post just like Obama and H. Clinton deserted the Americans under gunfire at Benghazi.
