White House Directed Incorrect Benghazi Narrative by Sharyl Attkisson April 29, 2014
Newly-released documents reveal direct White House involvement in steering the public narrative about the September 11, 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, toward that of a spontaneous protest that never happened.
One of the operative documents, which the government had withheld from Congress and reporters for a year and a half, is an internal September 14, 2012 email to White House press officials from Ben Rhodes, President Obama’s Assistant and Deputy National Security Advisor. (Disclosure: Ben Rhodes is the brother of David Rhodes, the President of CBS News, where I was employed until March.)
In the email, Ben Rhodes lists as a “goal” the White House desire “To underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure or policy.”

Sheik, you have been all over this, kudos.
There is an al Qaida doc. that was recovered in Afghanistan.
It’s a letter from Osama bin Laden to Mullah Omar.
It was listed as doc # AFGP-2002-600321 in what was the CTC at West Point’s Harmony Database.
The “spontaneous” lie was concocted to try and contradict what’s in that doc.
you go girl — she needed to actually work for herself.
Why was ambassador Steven at an outpost with 31 weapons experts from CIA on 9/11? There in lies the Truth to why the panicked fabrication.
Go Sharyl
PING.
White House LIEd!
Then more people died.
Fixed it for you. The false story concocted by the White House incited riots all over the Muslim world and resulted in multiple embassies in multiple countries and from many different counties (especially US and European Embassies) being attacked and occupied.
We will never know how many people were killed as a result of these riots, but it numbers in at least the hundreds and perhaps in the thousands.
All to cover for Obama and Hillary.
To add injury to insult, Obama also tried to release the Blind Sheik who bombed the Twin Towers using the video as a pretext. Almost like it was pre planned
what Ambassador Stevens was doing in Benghazi
Running Guns and Weapons to Al Queda, through Turkey into Syria. Last time I checked we were “officially at WAR” with Al Queda in the War on Terror. When I was a Kid we called this TREASON. How times have changed
Precisely - in the whole Attkisson Facebook post and other reports, no mention of Obama or SOS Hillary - curious omissions. Why no questions about what these two were doing? We know that ‘situation’ room photo was faked.
Way beyond anything Nixon did.
I read a credible story that it was a hostage situation gone bad.
Ambassador Stevens was to have been kidnapped and then the Ophonybama LIEberals were going to “negotiate” his release, and gain stature in America and on the World Stage.
The agreement beforehand was that there was to be NO US military intervention in the Ambassador Stevens kidnapping. That agreement explains why there was no increased security at the US compound.
However, when the former Seals (Doherty and Woods) got into the act and started killing the bad guys, the Islamists got “annoyed” and, believing that Ophonybama had betrayed them, killed Ambassador Stevens and Sean Smith.
The hostage deal was off!
I have no idea if this story has merit, but, given the lack of character the Ophonybam administration has, it would not surprise me if it were the truth.
Benghazi bump for later.....
bkmk
You are correct in the overall summary, but important points missing to buttress your recollections reside in that about two weeks before, someone on Beck’s staff, I suspect it was Buck Sexton received a back door account about how the administration was looking for a way to release the Blind Sheik. I remember that TV show where Beck made mention to be on the lookout for this. He had no other details he could convey but that was enough. I will be listening to Buck Sexton’s show today at noon. Of all the guest hosts for the Rushmeister, Buck was by far the best.
Therein lies the rest of your story. But a funny thing happened along the way in that Stevens was not told to play along and he along with Smith got into the safe room preventing the bad guys to get to them. So just like when they go hunting monkeys, they got the brilliant idea of using diesel fuel to accelerate a fire to smoke them out.
Smoke them out it did, right out of their lives. Remember the cell video of just how upset the leaders on the scene were when they drug his lifeless body out with all of the smoke residue all over him? They tried to revive him and sent him to the hospital to no avail.
What would have been priceless when he was declared dead, was the look on the face of that attorney for the Sheik that just passed away from cancer, ironically enough before and after her judgement day.
The players are wide and many on this and Graham & McCain are also in the middle of it with the gun running.
Snip from the posting; “They saw it as a chink in the President’s armor and they tried to repair it,” says Graham.”
There goes that racist Graham again! LOL. Didn’t some sports reporter lose his job at ESPN for using that “chink in the armor” reference to some team’s key player, who just happened to be Chinese,going down to injury? Better yet, look for the stories about how racist he is because now magically there will pop up a story about Obama having a strain of Chinese in him only because he had Chinese Takeout for dinner at one time./sarc I guess
I know this is Series and Hugh but it has gotten to the point that laughter is the only medicine when it comes to the government as a whole, despite the good being tried by a few true patriots and Representatives Of The People.
Benghazi ping.
Sharyl Attkisson writes so well about these events. I did not know of her blog earlier.
Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.
BuckeyeTexan: @SharylAttkisson Looks like #Benghazi was a #VWHC after all not a #VRWC
