The Bush 9/11 is considered a conspiracy. This, Obama 9/11, is considered par for the course with this clown.

Bush was responsible for 3000 dead right? Couldn't we call that the Bush Trade Center Massacre?

I said the Bush 9/11 is considered a conspiracy. I did not say I consider it a conspiracy. What I say about the Bush 9/11 is that a pack of Muslim cowards massacred thousands of civilians, typical of what cowardly momma's boys wannabe goat humpers with an erotic fixation on some ancient, aged and dead pedophile might fantasize about.

The fact remains that this administration has lied their ass off throughout this issue. And to make it worse they are brazenly attempting to sweep it all under the rug by calling any criticism of how they have handled this "politicizing the issue" as if their prevarications are somehow not open to political scrutiny.

Yes and I don't think Nixon should have been driven out of office over it except that he was trying to be too honest. In today's climate it would have been a YouTube clip and on to something else.
But since it was a politically motivated coupe against Republicans they have been trying to duplicate it ever since in reverse. Every time anything happens they think can be spun they salivate thinking 'this may be it!'.
I don't think Clinton should have been hounded and impeached either over such a ridiculous witch hunt to "get something on the husband of a person who worked for the law-firm that brought down Nixon".

All that aside, this was an ongoing developing story. Of course they're not going to say "ah hell folks we are in over our heads". Neither would a republican administration. Facts as they stand now the video is causing trouble and the terrorists took advantage of that but had already laid plans anyway. The security asked for was asked for in Tripoli 400 miles away.
And as it stands with me I wish we were out of there or take over completely till they are brain washed westernized. and I'm deadly serious about that. To me it would be the lesser of several evils.

It was a lose that even many in Lybia felt. And might become part of the failing of all insurgents, as with the little girt who was shot in the head.

At least one can hope so. My prayers are for the families & close friends of the 4 killed.

The thing that bothers me and I hope Obama addresses in the debate tonight...

If the video had nothing to do with the attack, where did the idea come from. Someone had to conscientiously put forward that idea.

In order to do that honestly, there had to be some link between the attack and the video. But it's being reported that there was no link between the video and the attack. If this is true, then, it was a bold face lie and they knew it to be a lie.

So I want to know what the link was, or in the alternative, who it was that decided to tell that lie and why.

They're blaming the intelligence...The buck stops there now...

Remember how everything was the Executive Branch's fault with WMDs in Iraq?...

Just as with everything else, blaming the Executive Branch had an expiration date of January 20,2009...

So the intelligence agency told them "This was due to such and such video" when they knew that was not true?

If that's the case, I want to know why they would just make that up out of thin air. That's what is bothering, someone had to make the decision that, "This is the story we are going to tell. It's not true, but it's the story we're putting forward anyway." Whether it was intelligence to the administration or the administration to the public. Someone had to consciously make that decision. What I want to know is, who it was, and why.

The idea that the intelligence would out right lie to the administration is just as disturbing as the idea that the administration would out right lie to the american people. If intelligence is lying to the administration, that puts our country at terrible risk because the administration is ostensibly making decisions based on the intelligence they are receiving. Heads should be rolling if intelligence is lying to the administration.

But it's NOT true...

Early CIA report blamed militants for Benghazi attack

Quote:
The CIA station chief in Libya reported to Washington within 24 hours of last month's deadly attack on the US consulate that there was evidence it was carried out by militants, rather than a spontaneous mob, according to US officials.
Now this next part is KEY...

Quote:
It is unclear who, if anyone, saw the cable outside the CIA at that point and how high up in the agency the information went.
They don't know if anyone up in the State Department knew of this cable?...REALLY?...The head of the CIA in LIBYA sends out a cable and they can't confirm anyone in the administration even saw it?!?!?!

This tells us one of two things...

1) If they didn't see it, why the hell have the CIA there report anything in the first place if this administration isn't even going to check out what the HEAD OF THE CIA IN LIBYA reports after an attack that killed four Americans, including an ambassador?...

2) They DID see the report, but just decided to lie about...

Obama supporters want to pretend Obama called this a terrorist attack because he generically used the term "acts of terror" in a speech one day after...This is negated by the fact that three days after that, Obama spokesman Jay Carney said it was because of a protest stemming from a video, and then, two days after THAT, UN Ambassador was trotted out on MULTIPLE Sunday talk shows and said the EXACT same thing...

This administration will go down in history as the "Nothing's our fault...The buck MUST stop somewhere else." presidency...
