“Neither I nor anyone else in the administration intended to mislead the American people at any stage in the process,” said Ms. Rice, who was accompanied at the 10 a.m. meeting by the acting director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Michael J. Morell.

But Mr. Morell reinforced the perception of an administration that cannot get its story straight by asserting during the meeting that the F.B.I. had modified Ms. Rice’s talking points by removing a specific reference to Al Qaeda. At 4 p.m., the senators said in a statement, the C.I.A. called to notify them that Mr. Morell had erred, and that the agency had made the change, not the bureau.

“We are disturbed by the administration’s continued inability to answer even the most basic questions about the Benghazi attack and the administration’s response,” the senators said.

“Then, several days before the election, the plan was to trade Chris Stevens for the Blind Sheik, making himself look like a hero, and all but guaranteeing re-election.”

The above sentence is where this unsourced obvious conspiracy theory falls down. There is no way that trading the Blind Sheik for Amb. Stevens would make Obama “look like a hero.” On the contrary, it would be seen as Obama getting punked to get his ambassador back.

voted to legalize drugs [...] in several states (and soon to be in every state)— it was a VERY sad day indeed to discover that thsi country DOES NOT CARE about morality any longer

Besides drug use, what other immoral acts by consenting adults should be illegal? (Any straight sex acts you'd like to see illegal?)

Rice is the front cover for a personal operation planned by POSHITUS.

A much more comprehensive investigation needs to be done.

The “Ally Oops, an ambassador and 3 operatives are dead!” explanation just does not cut it.This is essentially what Rice is saying “ They were expendable!”, and she needs to be run out on a rail.

Lets get the truth from someone who knows. Whistle anyone?

POSHITUS is worried and afraid. Rice wants the SOS position. Who wants Rice, a step and fetch for POSHITUS as SOS?

“Neither I nor anyone else in the administration intended to mislead the American people at any stage in the process,”

That may not be the biggest pile of bull turds we've had come out of a demonicRat Regime in the last 20 years, but it's definitely Top 10 material.

Yep. You do not need an October Surprise, when you had plans to steal an election with voter fraud. And, he still could have used this incident to help his reelection. Could have gotten the whole country to rally around the President as he tracked down and attacked the terrorist who killed Americans in Benghazi.

He could not counter attack the terrorists attackers back then and he still cannot counter attack them to this very day. That is what needs to be answered. When will these clowns running our country actually strike back at Al Qeada for Benghazi ?

The game they play now is to murky the waters so nothing makes sense and wait out the clock. Waiting out the clock has always worked for them in the past. All they do is alert the DBM not to write anything about Benghazi and it wil go away. They have already tried the we will do better next time and we dont want this to ever happen again bs and that did not fly. So they ar in big trouble if we pursue. The questions to be asked of course are what reasons can possibly be given for not giving additional security before 911 and why not help them while they are udner attack.Those two questions can sink the regime if we are persistent.

McConnell and Boehner are freaking useless.

I don't know. McConnell and Boehner are about as useful as tits on a goose.
