Since it now appears that the first two presidential debates did very much indeed have a resounding effect on the state of the race, Team O can’t afford to take any chances with Monday’s foreign-policy debate. Unfortunately, the Obama administration’s narrative on the president’s foreign-policy record has long been that all of those drone strikes and the death of Osama bin Laden have vastly deteriorated the strength and coordination of terrorism in the Middle East, and the attacks on the consulate in Benghazi and the death of four Americans on the eleventh anniversary of 9/11 put something of a damper on that narrative.
Now it looks like the White House might be trying to rejigger that narrative yet again align more favorably with President Obama’s self-stated successes, do some damage control on his administration’s incompetent and bungled response to repeated security threats in the region, and may be most particularly looking get any “al Qaeda”-related language out of the Libya story. Fox News reported last night:
The intelligence community on Friday once again modified its assessment of what caused the deadly terror attack last month on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya – returning in part to claims that the violence was in reaction to a protest at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo over an anti-Islam film.
At the same time, the latest assessment acknowledged there was no actual protest in Benghazi at the time of the attack and that “extremist” elements were likely involved. …
The latest assessment appears to fall somewhere between the flawed account U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice gave on Sept. 16 claiming the attack was “spontaneous” and a subsequent revision on Sept. 28 by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper claiming it was a coordinated terror attack.
I guess they did not watch Brit Humes special? Maybe they would then know what happened!
No, it’s easier to make up fallacies, change fallacies, recalibrate fallacies....then blatantly lie about everything!
Obama: OK Axelrod I’ve got it — a coordinated spontaneous attack, right?
Axe: NO, No, No, a SPONTANEOUS, coordinated attack. The other way doesn’t make sense!!
Never mind Ben Laden !
Islamism and islamization is a worldwide threat and Obama gave it a free-ride in the M.E. but also, as a consequence, in Europe and America....
Marxists and black activists have always seen islam as an effective weapon and tool against free societies
They have “recalibrated” so often that I think most people - including those involved - have no idea what happened now. Which, of course, was probably their intention.
The violence was in reaction to the apology the Embassy made about a film that hadn't been "made up" yet. That was another screwy thing about 9-11-12. The Cairo embassy was apologizing for something that hadn't happened yet.
What they can’t spin out of was a dead Ambassador caused by several administration F’ups.
They have “recalibrated” so often that I think most people - including those involved - have no idea what happened now. Which, of course, was probably their intention.
Yup. And they will “recalibrate” again. And again. They’ve made such a complex web of lies, with the medias help, that it will probably be impossible to unravel. And as they go along, they keep changing the definitions of words and phrases. (it depends on what the definition of is, is) They’re making the Nixon White House look like amateurs.
ABC News has as its lead the “new truthier” version of events.
Just damn. Now if Romney doesn’t mention it 0bozo will have to in order to bring out the truthier version.
Hey, intel types monitoring FR. How does it feel to be humiliated and castrated?
Barry's response has been at odds with reality since the very beginning (regarding something in which he actually was involved and that related to the duties of his office) and his whole team obviously planned from the start to deal with it by obfuscation.
