Crowley On September 30th: Administration Took Weeks To Admit Benghazi Might Be A Terrorist Attack

@lochnar with a great catch from Candy Crowley's interview with David Axelrod on September 30th.

Here's the full exchange for context (video here). I'll highlight what I think are the important parts.

CROWLEY: I am joined by Obama campaign senior adviser David Axelrod. I want to pick up on what John McCain and I were talking about. There's a back and forth now about why didn't this administration -- why did it take them until Friday after a September 11th attack in Libya to come to the conclusion that it was premeditated and that there was terrorists involved. John McCain said it doesn't pass the smell test, or it's willful ignorance to think that they didn't know before this what was going on. Your reaction?

AXELROD: Well, first of all, Candy, as you know, the president called it an act of terror the day after it happened. But when you're the responsible party, when you're the administration, then you have a responsibility to act on what you know and what the intelligence community believes. This was -- this is being thoroughly investigated.

CROWLEY: But first it was, like, not planned.

AXELROD: We need to bring to justice--

CROWLEY: First, they said it was not planned, it was part of this tape. All that stuff.

AXELROD: As the director of national intelligence said on Friday, that was the original information that that was given to us. What we don't need is a president or an administration that shoots first and asks questions later.

CROWLEY: But isn't that what happened?

” Right now CNN spinning madly saying Romney was wrong about Libya and energy.”

CNN can go pound sand. The truth is out, Crowley is on record, and truth won out.

This is a great find - thanks, RC!

The comments at Ace of Spades are pretty interesting in and of themselves.

Candy was handy to Censor Mitt,
No apologies there, not one little bit!
“Keep Obama afloat” was her duty charge,
Keep censoring Romney and make Obama look fit!

The Censoring Liberal Agenda Media (CLAM)
Will give Crowley her reward,
The First Woman Referee in Presidential Town Hall,
Proudly, so proudly kept Obama from a bad fall.

And now the CLAM workers,
And all Axelrod’s men
Will spin Democrat glue
Over Obama’s thin skin.

"Good catch. Crowley should be forced to eat crow by Romney."

It appears that Crowley doesn't miss ANY meals.

Any shread of journalistic, or personal credibility Crowley may have had is shot all to hell!

Good catch. Crowley should be forced to eat crow by Romney.

Do you really think that she ever has to be forced to eat anything?

I just learned that it was Michelle Obama who led the applause when Barry told Crowley; “Candy please say that again.”

Conservatives call out Michelle Obama’s clapping

I said last night she was pimping for hussein so maybe we’re both blunt but honest.
