LOL !!

"Please stop talk talking about a politically motivated and unprecedented lie over 4 dead Americans. PLEASE ??? "

No chance.

the CIA testified under oath that it did NOT refer to a internet video.

And the source of the lie is really irrelevant.

The Obama administration knew it wasn't a "protest" hours after the attack started.

So why did they perpetuate it ?
 
Fenton said:
Its dated 9/11.

And it referred to the Cairo attack which WAS NOT caused by a video.

The second post refers to the Benghazzi attack.

Wow ! Ben Rhodes WAS refering to Cairo and Benghazzi wasn't he ?

In that E-mail he called those two attacks "proetest" and wanted Rice to underscore that a VIDEO caused them.

Thanks for the info

Yeah, so how can the left keep saying why is Benghazi going on since BO's team is there trying to do something other than get killed. Since the investigation has come to a complete stand still.

Yeah. Everybody who wants some honest answers is abnormal. That would include foreign service workers and the families of the murdered. Abnormal, according to some who's political agenda doesn't include the truth.

That completely contradicts the congressional testimony of the former CIA director, Morell......


"....Morell also detailed the sequence of events in which he learned that the CIA's initial assessment, that there had been a protest outside the U.S. installation and extremists had made an "opportunistic" attack. He said the assessment was made based on news and intelligence reports made in the days following the attack, and it was not until four days later, on September 15, that he received an email from the station chief saying there was no protest...."


In the end, Morell said, it is still unclear if the YouTube video may have been part of the motivation behind the attack. Instead, he said analysts believe it could have been related to the video or revenge for the death of al Qaida leader Abu Yahya al-Libi.

“We never thought that a protest and a terrorist attack were mutually exclusive," Morell said....

(see post #126 for link.)




As it stands....the motivation for the attack could still have been the anti-Islamic video.

Yea and real protest ovee the video only heated up after the WH made sure that video narrative was very publicized

Well, for such a benign E-mail that was only refering to the US's ME Policies, the White House sure didn't want anyone to see it.

Especially the Committee investigating the attack, which some of you have been using for months to excuse the WH's behaviour.

It was sent but redacted and blacked out

If it was just a statement on policy why did it take a Court Order by a Conservative non profit group to finally get it released ?

There's going to be a special committee now, which Harry Reid called a "Partisan Circus".

Why would he call a objective investigation a circus if it finally winds up clearing Obama's and Hillary's names ?

After this one tho. ;)

Sept. 12, 6:06 p.m.: Beth Jones, the acting assistant secretary of state for the Near East, sends an email to top State Department officials that reads in part: “[T]he group that conducted the attacks, Ansar al-Sharia, is affiliated with Islamic extremists.” (An excerpt of Jones’ email was read by Rep. Trey Gowdy at the May 8, 2013, House oversight hearing.).....snip~

Did you read the email in the link I offered? Clinton knew it was a terrorist attack - perhaps an attack of opportunity - but ostensibly since one of her senior aides knew it within hours of the attack, Clinton surely did as well. There is no evidence of a protest in Benghazi. There's plenty of evidence of a terrorist attack given that Ansar al Sharia claimed responsibility with other players shortly after the attack.

So why did you guys persist on Watergate, which wasn't even close to being this serious?

#1 I wasn't even born during watergate

#2 Nixon was one of my favorite presidents anyway and even though I disagreed with what he did in Watergate doesn't mean he was somehow a bad president.

#3 So the basis of your argument is going to be "Well you did it so why can't I?"

#4 It was serious, not as serious as we made it out to be but serious none the less.

#5 I have never persisted about watergate in my life. So how dare you say "you guys" and include me into whatever cluster**** your pointing your guns at. You have no right to do so.
 
Not that you're losing the argument on ACA, IRS and jobs, it's back to Benghazi.
Time for the DEMs to bring up ad nauseum all the disasters in 20 years of Reagan, Bush-41 and Bush-43 .

Lol ! No body except for People loyal to the Democrat party thought it was about a video when it happened.

And no one thinks it's currently about a video.

I mean if that were the case Jay Carney shoukd have just said yesterday that the Benghazzi attack was over a video.

No, but they played this time out with an election. To hide the fact the Country got hit On BOs watch as well as a US Ambassador was killed all due to their mistakes, incompetence, and for trying to do something they are trying not to get caught up with. Which they would be the shipments of weapons to Syria taken from Gadhafi's warehouses.

So you can bet one thing.....BO will give everybody else up before he allows it to come back to him. He has complete deniability. Other than for outright Lying and deceiving the Country over his election. Downplaying the US was Hit and that the 23 Muslim Countries that protested us was all part of 911.

Now all the underlings that are Part of Hill-Dogs team.....they are fair game and their careers should be destroyed aptly so.
 
As you bring up Watergate, you may want to look back at Sen. Baker, a Republican.

At least you're honest, GOPs have been after every DEM President since Nixon.
The GOP will never be satisfied going forth, EVER, no matter how many DEMs they impeach .

How many of your fellow marines were killed on Reagan's watch?
Only to have Reagan illegally sell arms to those who killed our Marines.
DEMs continue to make the mistake they are posting with honest GOPs .
