Stop playing politics with the Benghazi attack (Obama's incompetence led to our ambassador's death)
washington post ^ | 9/27/2012 | By Editorial Board

Posted on 09/27/2012 7:08:14 PM PDT by tobyhill

THE OBAMA administration’s descriptions of what happened Sept. 11 in the Libyan city of Benghazi have evolved in a way that some — including congressional Republicans — find suspicious. Initially, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton described an “attack” in which “heavily armed militants” assaulted a U.S. compound, leading to the death of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Four days later, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice said that “extremist elements” had joined a demonstration outside the U.S. Consulate against an anti-Muslim video.

By the end of last week, White House spokesman Jay Carney was calling the incident a “terrorist attack” but adding that it was likely “the result of opportunism” and not planned. But then Wednesday, Ms. Clinton suggested that al-Qaeda’s North African branch, operating from a safe haven in Mali, could have had a hand in the assault. Al-Qaeda and other terrorists, she said, “are working with other violent extremists to undermine the democratic transitions underway in North Africa, as we tragically saw in Benghazi.”

GTFH, WaPo. You were among the vast litany of scumbags that turned backs to the assault against the 1st Amendment. #ers like you facilitate the greatest crimes against Life and Liberty. Seriously, GTFH.

allow the investigations by the FBI and the State Department to proceed

From what I hear, they haven't even begun. The FBI has been unable to gain access to our own embassy.

Meanwhile, the CIC is on house frau talk shows calling himself eye candy.

“So what! Everybody does it.” It’s always the same run around with liberals. It’s like having junior high school kids in power.

Criticizing Bush - “Dissent is Patriotic.”

Criticizing Obama - “You’re just playing politics.”
