Yeah...not so much.

quote:

Before the Obama administration gave an inaccurate narrative on national television that the Benghazi attacks grew from an anti-American protest, the CIA’s station chief in Libya pointedly told his superiors in Washington that no such demonstration occurred, documents and interviews with current and former intelligence officials show.

The attack was “not an escalation of protests,” the station chief wrote to then-Deputy CIA Director Michael J. Morell in an email dated Sept. 15, 2012 — a full day before the White House sent Susan E. Rice to several Sunday talk shows to disseminate talking points claiming that the Benghazi attack began as a protest over an anti-Islam video.

Apparently it doesn't matter, at least to the media. Truth no longer matters, just the agenda.

...regardless if our claims are exculpatory for all of us in the administration what difference does it make at this time; I am browbeating you and haranguing you and intimidating you to shut up about it...

People are forgetting that there were huge anti-American demonstrations all throughout the Middle East that day. In some countries diplomats had to run for their lives. It is not therefore out of the question that the admiistration thought that the same things were going on in Benghazi.

Indeed. And the first inkling that Sec State Hillary had of these mass protests was when she read about them in the newspaper "Special Evening Edition".

She's a Champion public servant, always doing what's best for us.

Right?

Be careful, you could hurt yourself bending over backwards like that.

...going back to the well, eh

Seriously; how many Benghazi threads have we had versus "Bin Laden determined to attack U.S."?

What specifically do you think happened at Benghazi?

Obama: "Yeah, let's get them out of there"
security: "It's Chris Stephens and his crew"
Obama: "Oh, frick that guy. Hell no!"

Yes...a non-specific general threat assessment is definitely the same thing as an orchestrated attack on a US Consulate resulting in the death of an ambassador and his security detail.

And I won't even mention the outright lying of Obama and Clinton afterwards.

The talking points for Congress and admin officials had already been formulated by this time and were likely already disseminated.

Suprised the Washington Times didn't use a poster on this messsage board as a source for this article also

Panetta: terrorists have attacked our consulate!
Obama: but the muslim spring, and AQ has lost.
Panetta: the terrorists attacked our consulate.
Obama: na-uh...I have an election coming up, and have made the Muslims our friends.
Panetta: They are killing Americans.
Obama: shut-up, I have a fundraiser in Vegas and need my sleep.
