“At every step of the way, the administration has based its public statements on the best assessments that were provided by the intelligence community. As the intelligence community learned more information, they updated Congress and the American people on it,” said White House spokesman Jay Carney.
What kind of intelligence community do we have that can't immediately assess from real-time info that a huge armed assault was being carried out on our consulate? The rest of us could tell from the next day's media reports. The truth of it is that the intelligence community isn't supporting that BS account.
But what the heck is going on when an unprecedented attack on a consulate is underway and the Sec. State and pResident aren't immediately notified and don't immediately want to be in a com room getting direct feeds and given direct lines to everyone involved?
Did no one send that urgent message up the chain of command? I don't believe that. They did see it all in real-time and are lying or they ignored the call.
There's been talk of John Kerry taking over Hillary's Sec of state job. Of course that's the same John Kerry who prepped Obama for the debate...
Perhaps. But I find it a little hard to believe that Fox would run with a statement like that, without being pretty sure of it, as Petraeus could pretty well body slam them if it was inaccurate. To my knowledge, he has not. My heart wants me to think Petraeus was misquoted. My head says probably not.
I’m not a fan of vague, unsourced innuendo. Say something worth reading. Make it understandable if you can.
Hi TigersEye, I just posted this statement on a couple of threads yesterday:
WOW! I heard Lamb say she was watching the attack - LIVE - but I thought it was from on-site cameras at the consulate .. not a drone.
And if they had time to launch a drone .. what amount of advance knowledge did they have that the attack was going to take place ..???
And .. if they knew it was going to take place .. why would they just watch and not do anything to save our Ambassador and his staff member ..??? Plus the two Seals who tried to come to the rescue of the Ambassador - but were caught in the melee. To watch and do nothing was CRIMINAL.
For me .. I still can’t shake the idea that it was the Obama/Biden stooges who planned and executed the making of the “video”, with the objective of having a ready-made excuse for the terrorist attack the stooges already knew was coming. I’m even going to go so far as to say I believe it may have been a Jarrett/Axelrod operation .. in order to make Obama look unconnected with the attack .. unconnected to another “terrorist attack” upon America on a 9/11.
My premise is reached because immediately both Obama and Hillary made this statement, “...We had nothing to do with this video”. Hmmmmm ..?? Both of them said it continually, even spending $70,000 to produce a commercial to espouse the idea “we had nothing to do with the ‘video’”. Geeeee .. is somebody protesting too much ..??
Also, as soon as the “film maker” was arrested - I was even more convinced of the admin’s involvement .. because I questioned .. was this action a way to hide the guy from the media ..?? And/or, to keep the film maker from exposing the fact the “video” was a ruse from the get-go!!
Maybe Hillary’s “come-clean” moment is closer than we think ..??
That is hilarious! Thanks, I needed that too.
War on free speech... the admin has been trying to appease the Muslim Bro which has demands for anti-blasphemy laws...
And then there is a possible need to use internet videos' "incitement to riot" as an excuse for an internet "kill switch." I'm sure this admin would like to have an internet system for this country that works like irans, with a built-in bottleneck with just a few access points that the government can sit on.
Or my personal favorite, the simple one, that the Obama admin and media have been trying to pretend that Obama's single handed killing bin Laden ended al Qaeda and we can come home now because Arab Spring is in the air and the Taliban are our friends. If the rioting was caused by an American-made video then it's not terrorism, and it's not Iran.
Just remember that you're talking about the shallowest people in America.
People who respond to Hollywood glamor imaging like Pavlov's dog, and vote that way. People who would rather watch The View, than a presidential debate, and who get their 'news' from sports channels and MSLSD. People who've never read a single book, and if they have, it was probably some leftist indoctrination screed in college. These are the same people who believe in man made global warming, Bush lied - people died, 9/11 was an inside job, Jane Fonda is a patriot, the 1% don't pay their fair share, Che Guevara was a hero, American soldiers rape and pillage, destroying our nukes will bring world peace, and that Paul is Dead.
Trust me. They're not going to give great grandma their vote for president in 2016.
I thought all of the same things you did with one exception. A minor one. IMO Hillbilly orchestrated the “video” story. Just a hunch.
OK, you’re probably right. I’ll just say what do most lefty women look like? What do most of The View gals look like?
Hmmmmm ..?? I hadn’t thought of that.
I blame Obama’s crew because of the Muslim participation in the attack. He’s always trying to protect them. It had to be the video that caused it because Obama couldn’t bring himself to in any way punish the Muslims.
I guess time will tell .. especially if Obama is going to officially charge Hillary for the deaths.
FEBRUARY 2012 : (OBAMA'S PC PENTAGON APOLOGIZES TO A WASHINGTON AREA MOSQUE CONGREGATION ABOUT AN ALLEGED INCIDENT OF KORAN BURNING ... IMANY MANY MILES AWAY IN AFGHANISTAN?!) STERLING, Va. (AP) - A senior Pentagon official is apologizing to Washington-area Muslims for the burning of Qurans at a military base in Afghanistan. Peter Lavoy, acting assistant secretary of defense for Asia and Pacific security affairs, says the military is investigating and that all troops are being retrained in the handling of religious materials. Lavoy's remarks were Friday at a mosque in suburban Washington, D.C. They come after protests across Afghanistan over the burning of several Qurans at a U.S. military base. Military officials say 20 people have died in the protests, including two U.S. soldiers.(Excerpt) Read more at wjla.com ...--------Pentagon apologizes at local mosque for Quran burning, wlja.com ^ | 2/24/12 | abc7 Posted on 02/24/2012 1:52:05 PM PST by ColdOne
Seems to be a definite effort to stir up trouble and unrest on the part of the White House.
Oh, it's true. Most of them are repugnant sows, but we're talking about the biggest left-wing beauty contest of them all, when we're talking the presidential elections.
Those folks need a rock star to get behind. Obama fit that need perfectly. I firmly believe that the Dems are in the worst shape of the last fifty years, because their bench is so weak and thin.
They'd better start grooming some up-and-comer for 2016, because that's what average Democrat voters will be looking for. They need another smooth talking huckster who can stroke their egos and 'self esteem' again. Someone who can make them 'believe' again. Someone who will ignite and inflame their 'feelings' again.
They don't give two sh!ts about whether their candidate is qualified to hold the office or not. They just have to look and act the part, and have some sort of resume to fall back on. I mean, the qualifications for Democrats aren't all that high (as we've seen with Obama and the rest of the current lot), but by golly, they'd better look and act the part.
I'm afraid that central casting isn't going to even return Hillary's call.
2012 SPRING: (POLITICAL CORRECTNESS & THE WAR ON TRUTH---see ISLAM) In the Spring of this year, US Army Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Dooley was condemned by the Joints Chiefs of Staff (JCS) and relieved of teaching duties at Joint Forces Staff College for teaching a course judged to be offensive to Islam. The course he taught, Perspectives on Islam and Islamic Radicalism, was an elective course that Lt. Col. Dooley's superiors judged as presenting Islam in a negative way. His superiors were persuaded to come to this conclusion after receiving an October 2011 letter in which 57 Muslim organizations claimed to be offended by the course. The fact that Lt.... ---------Lt.

I have thought that was the motive behind some domestic situations too. He is one divisive devious little creep.
see if this is clear............bite me
without video...it woulda been friendly fire
Well, what’s left of their Grandfathers’ Democrat party seems
to have both zero and the Clintons (and Chicago in general)on the edge of the cliff: the Ds will never have the opportunity to cleanse their party of Commies and Pinkos if they don’t do it right now.
And they need to ask for the right’s help in this mission.
I would agree...if she resigned two weeks before the election...questions would be asked, and the Hillary-supporters....probably twenty percent of the Obama base at this point, would just stay home. It hurts Obama, and it hurts various Democratic Senate hopefuls. I would imagine there’s several big-name Democrats telling her to stay on and just resign after the election.
It’s odd how this event at Benghazi has wrapped itself around the entire election. And the truth is...if the economy continues in this stagnation trend for four years under Romney, then Hillary probably has a fifty-fifty show of beating Romney in 2016. You figure no cooperation by the Democrats for the sequestration episode....a fairly big economic hole in 2013 as unemployment surges up to twelve percent around the country (don’t count on any new jobs appearing for the government workers dismissed from sequestration).
I think Hillary is now in the best position of her life...compliments of Obama/Biden. Even Romney might be unable to weave magic if a massive new recession suddenly appears.
“friendly fire”
Not possible .. Hillary didn’t allow any “live fire” in security weapons at the Embassys or Consulates. So where would “friendly fire” come from .. surely you’re not considering the terrorists to be the “friendly fire” ..????
