Intelligence office says it got Libya attack wrong, not White House

WASHINGTON — Extremists from groups linked to al Qaida struck the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in a “deliberate and organized terrorist attack,” the top U.S. intelligence agency said Friday, as it took responsibility for the Obama administration’s initial claims that the deadly assault grew from a spontaneous protest against an anti-Islam video.

The unusual statement from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence appeared to have two goals: updating the public on the latest findings of the investigation into the assault, and shielding the White House from a political backlash over its original accounts.

So they have an intelligence office in the White House, who would’ve thought?

In the Obama administration, they are all Bush sooner or later.

We’ll see how many Holder gets to volunteer to be thrown under the bus. In true Muzzie fashion, “heads are going to roll”.

Nothing is ever Obama’s fault. He’s flawless.

and they are probably just as accurate on Iran.

... there is no threat there!

It is a continuation of the left caught up in the fog of truth.

And that “Private sector is doing fine” gaffe. That was actually the fault of one of the janitors who works at the White House. The janitor takes full responsability for that one.

Does anyone remember that hilarious Canon commercial from five or so years ago? It’s a meeting of the board, and an executive gets up and says “Because I failed to go digital, we’re broke. Rather than resign, I’ve hired a professional scapegoat.” At which the “professional scapegoat” stands up to the applause of the Board and says, “Thank you; thank you. Yes, it was all my fault.”

this IS the White House security/intelligence voice. Whatever come’s from Obama’s mouth came first from this office, unless Obama chooses to manipulate the words to fool the people.

At least no one has yet accused Obama of rape, like several women did Clinton.

Perhaps I should be appointed director of national intelligence — I figured out what happened within minutes of hearing about it.

Thank Bush/Cheney for this layer of bureaucratic yes men. Instead of cleaning house, they added more so the White House can always hear exactly what it wants.

Yup. Bush’s fault. I am so sick of this. Nothing sticks to obama,,,absolutely nothing. Not F&F, not Solyndra, not the Arab Spring disaster, not the economy, and now he gets to walk away from the Libya terrorist attack without any accountability. Made of teflon.

Well they are his men so it still falls back on him. No matter the “report” there are still 4 dead Americans on Obama’s watch.
