A confusing array of contradictions concerning the murders of four Americans, one of which was a U.S. ambassador, was made worse by Vice President Joe Biden’s remarks during the debate with Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan Thursday evening. Today the confusion only worsened yet again when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told reporters that her agency was not the source of misinformation concerning the attacks, charging instead that the White House was the source of the false mantra that the murders were spurred by an anti-Muslim film made in the United States. Clinton told reporters that when Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, made her rounds on every Sunday morning news show to claim the film motivated the attacks, the information had been fed to her by the White House and not the intelligence community in the State Department or the CIA. Not only does Clinton’s statement contradict early White House accounts but directly contradicts statements made by Vice President Biden during the debate.
If Obama thinks he’s gonna throw Hillary Clinton under his bus, he’s going to find out the hard way his bus ain’t big enough. He’s not looking too good in the polls lately — even PPP has him trailing Romney in Florida now – and rather than playing the Good Soldier in his doomed re-election campaign, why shouldn’t Hillary kick off her 2016 campaign by helping expose Obama’s bungling? And here’s a good laugh for you:
In the meantime, HC has run off to Peru according to Rush.
This article was prescient when it was published, but it’s all become yet more confusing with Hillary accepting full responsibility for the security portion of this fiasco tonight. Who has a fresh take on all this in light of Hillary having thrown herself on the sword?
Obama would not accept responsibility for the actions of his administration. Hillary stepped up to the plate and took responsibility. Hillary left Obama looking like a very small girlie-man. Hillary cut him off at the knees. Women are not going to vote for wimpy Obama now. Hillary just cost him the election.
Re Rice, I thought Hillary said something like “Rice was speaking through the fog of war”. I’d say it was exceptionally foggy, since Rice blathered almost a week after everyone knew the truth.
...fog of war...? According to Obama, there is no War on Terror. What war is she talking about?
