To be fair, seven hours isn't really that long.

It's a lifetime if you're under fire.

Just incompetence and shitty luck.

How bad does this have to get before someone really important loses his or her job (and I don't mean Hilary)?

quote:

The real mystery here is why blame it on a video for so long?

---

Because the press is in their pocket? Maybe people will buy it and the story will go away?

Why alter the talking points to avoid the word terrorism?

The man is incapable, genetically, of admitting failure.

They would have egg on their face if they had just admitted it was a terrorist attack and they had been caught off guard but now it's just going to make them look worse.

Hell, Nixon had a way out, too - come as clean as possible and throw the subordinates under the bus. The cover-up was worse than what he originally authorized in passing.

But he did get elected, and managed to deflect the issue for eight months so that the majority of Americans wouldn't know WTF YOU were talking about if you said the words Benghazi, Ambassador Stevens, or Muslim outrage video anymore.

So it looks like the admin has won this one regardless of any facts that come out now.

Just like Clinton - had he come out and admitted the affair with Lewinsky, he would have had to go - that's why the obfuscated and denied until polling shifted the other way. Same thing here - they're just running the Lewinsky crisis action plan all over again - when the polling shifts on what he "should do," he'll come out, admit mistakes were made by other people, announce some resignations/retirements and know that the press will carry his water to the grave.

It's disgusting.
