Over 450 posts for an unimportant distraction.

Interesting comment by Lou Dobbs a few minutes ago....

He said that using the IRS politically was one of the charges against Nixon.

My overall impression, after seeing the whole conference and reading much of the live thread, is that Cameron was a prop of sorts for a political diatribe by the president.

The whole question of Syria, ostensibly the reason for Cameron to be there, went nowhere. Britain has revised its guidelines to allow technical assistance? Whoopy doo. Big news.

No, this was to complete the cheesy fabric of lies about Benghazi and score points for the 2014 elections.

It was the talking-points issue that was described by saying “there’s no there there.” Take out the issue of the talking points and make it disappear and you have eliminated the entire controversy over our government’s role and coverup and what the reasons for those things might be.

Also, a general observation, which includes the Dem remarks at the hearings: The more someone prates about the goal being to make sure such a thing never happens again, the more they are getting ready to launch a political attack on the Republicans and the whistleblowers.

If we go into Syria in a stronger way very soon, then I’m wrong, and it really was about Syria, getting the public in US and UK ready for more intervention. But somehow I don’t think so.

Thanks! So he calls it an attack, but even then implies that the cause is an attempt to “denigrate the religious beliefs of others,” presumably a reference to the video. He doesn’t refer to the Benghazi terrorists as such, but as “killers.” And his final statement may or may not be construed as including the “attack” on Benghazi.

Doesn’t sound to me like he came out and called it “terrorism.” No place there does he say it directly.

Obama is right, the talking points ARE a sideshow. There would not have been a need for talking points if one of our most dangerous consulate posts in the world had not been left intentinally indefensible and an easy OPEN target for terrorists, ON A TUESDAY OF 9/11. Repeated pleas for more security were left unanswered, for months. Yet a US ambassador, who was officially scheduled for Bengazi in October, had his schedule moved up before September 30th by Clinton, because she wanted a permanent post there, something no one knew of. The next issue is WHY the lies and exaggerations for not sending a rescue team that night, there is not one coherent statement that has been given. We hear it would have taken seven hours, three hours, fifteen hours, no refueling capability, no teams available, no fly zone, no intelligence as to the situation. THE TALKING POINTS ARE A SIDESHOW, the first and only truth from this liars mouth.

You could tell by Obama’s demeanor today that he was very angry, he knows the jig is up and the truth is coming out about his despicable Administration

So if nobody knew those first few days, why did you blame everything on a YouTube video within hours!

“People should be willing to put themselves in harms way”. This is chilling.>>>>>>>>>>>>

The external morph of Obama into the Fascist Obama is under way. Seriously. The man is nothing but an evil snake worthy only of contempt and impeachment.

People shouted out that Obama was a fascist in 2008, but no one listened:

Let’s pretend there weren’t any talking points, nonexistent, no Susan Rice statements, nada. Does that mean there wouldn’t be a Bengazi-gate? This is all smoke and mirrors, the administration and news outlets have chosen the least of the offenses and are making talking points the only issue. Take Obama at his word this time, the talking points are a sideshow, his sideshow.

This Sept. 12 transcript tells me a couple of things:

1. They knew it was a terror attack immediately.

2. I fear we’re all being distracted by the talking points bit - that constitutes a stupid/clumsy effort to obscure the landscape. The real problem is that they should have tried to defend their people, and failed to do anything whatsoever - whether by totally misreading the event, or by deliberate inaction. The system either failed, or they caused it to fail. One of those outcomes needs to be fixed. The other is criminal.

3. So why change the story??? My suspicion is that they created the Internet Video diversion because they wanted to make it look like a small protest had gotten out of hand, and that this is why they failed to send support. This lie was perpetuated all the way the Sept 25th at the United Nations - effectively telling the lie to the entire world.

I therefore expect the diversion story occurred because they knew exactly what was going on and purposely chose to do nothing. Obama knew the truth on 9/12 and said so - that’s what the transcript indicates: no hint of an internet video - and the diversion path was chosen after that... somebody decided that having dead Americans required an explanation.

Ah but it’s a fact since the debate right? The statement got the stamp of approval from that Candy person.
