Seriously, what the hell are these people thinking? It was bad enough that they got caught red handed lying about these attacks but now they're trying to deny what they have already gone on record for saying?


State Department denies concluding film sparked consulate attack in Libya | Fox News

Snippet: The State Department denied Tuesday it ever concluded that the deadly consulate attack Sept. 11 in Libya was an unplanned outburst prompted by an anti-Islam movie, despite public statements early on by some in the Obama administration suggesting that was the case.


So to put this into perspective, what they are trying to say now is that they never "concluded" that these attacks resulted from protests over the film, and that somehow absolves them of responsibility for driving a false account of the actual events for over a week. This is the equivalent of saying... "We tried to put out a false account of the events, but we never actually believed our own lie".

Great.:roll: And people wonder where the accusations of incompetence come from...
