What Happened In Benghazi
Power Line ^ | 10/13/2012 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 10/14/2012 8:29:54 AM PDT by kingattax

The State Department has released a transcript of a briefing that two high-ranking department officials gave to a number of reporters via conference call on October 9 (Tuesday).

I am not certain about this, but I believe the transcript was only made public today. You should read it in its entirety; it is the most detailed description I have seen of the events in Benghazi on September 11.

While this is by no means clear, it appears that the State Department may have released the transcript as part of the escalating conflict between Barack Obama and Joe Biden and the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.

In their desperation to avoid responsibility for the Benghazi debacle, Obama and Biden have pointed fingers in two directions: at the intelligence community for reporting incorrectly that the incident was a protest over a YouTube video clip, and at the State Department for not providing adequate security for the Ambassador.

Somebody out there don't like you. Just got this when I clicked the link to your site:

Isn't that odd. And Google started telling us that, right around Aug. 16th. Just before the conventions. What a coincidence.

Good evening.

has been reported as an attack page and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

What the !@#$ is an "attack page?"

There are many people in the state controlled media, academia, government, Hollywood, etc., that don't understand that if all this goes south, will be targets of opportunity.

In the case of NachumList.com, it's nothing more than an attempt to scare people away from the truth, but in most cases, sites with warnings like that are crawling with malware, bugware, etc.

Don't give me any Sh#@. You know I can be slow at times. Especially after a few...

Are you going to Leni's for the election/victory party? If so, the First lady and I will see you, and your beautiful wife in NPR on Nov 6th.

” - - - So Hillary Clinton and the State Department unequivocally reject the account that Barack Obama and Joe Biden have given. It is hard to imagine what “intelligence” reports Obama could have received that blamed the YouTube video. He is lying, evidently.”

Maybe, maybe not if the White House was briefed by the CIA, and the State Dept. was briefed by the US Marines on the ground.

In that case, both would be telling the truth about what was being reported to them. The problem is that there is only one reality.

If Hilly can throw Obama under the reality bus then Hilly still has a chance to run for Pres. in 2016.

Watch for a Vince Foster event.

Interesting for the chain of command re: intel, still drops the lede as to the weapons. They were getting back weapons because they gave them weapons. Notes cuts re: reps would not affect security (Issa came out with a statement on this as well).

BTW, they’re doing the same in Syria and Jordan. Also did it in Eqypt and Lebanon.

Our house gave them money for Libya, voted down declaring ‘war. Other than that, I haven’t witnessed congress consulted on the rest.

Many should be swinging from ropes on this.
