Star-Telegram ^ | October 30, 2012 | Bradley Klapper

WASHINGTON -- Here is a timeline of comments by the Obama administration and Libyan officials on what they believed happened in the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, beginning the night of the assault and continuing through September.

Republicans have criticized the administration for its description of the attack. They have suggested that the administration insisted it was a protest over a film that insulted the prophet Muhammad because acknowledging that it was a terrorist attack would have affected the presidential campaign.

The administration has said it provided information as it became available and has strongly objected to the accusation that its actions were politically motivated.................................

This report mentions Susan Rice stating that “according to our best information” the attack was based on a video. The report fails to mention why the administration didn't believe 1) emails sent weeks earlier needing help, 2) formal requests for more security, 3) the attacks held several days prior to the attack on the embassy, and 4) who was making the decisions in the seven hours when the attacks were happening. If Obama was so in tune with the actions of Bin Laden, then why wasn't he interested in Lybia?

The AP is still covering for Zero. No where in the article is his visit to Letterman or The View mentioned where he still was pushing the video story. AP also tries to play word games with the word ‘terror’ to make it seem like Zero called the specific Benghazi attack a terrorist attack (which he never did).

What is so absolutely disgusting to me is seeing the lame-stream media slobbering over Zero by giving him hurricane photo-ops in the situation room. The absolute icing on the cake is when Zero said ‘We will leave no one behind.’ Disgusting.

Equally disgusting is the attack on Romney by the Lames for not shutting the hell up and staying away from all cameras while Zero is doing his hurricane tour.

If AP had produced this three weeks ago...it would have been a better picture then. Today? It doesn’t match up to Fox’s weekend production of the attack at all, and looks like a college-level journalist attempt to just wrap up the story.

Lest we forget, Crazy Joe’s pronouncement that “...We weren’t told...we didn’t know!”

Especially since Romney actually has a long record of private untrumpeted charity and giving, and Hussein has never done anything but give away other people’s money as if he were bestowing his own.

I was reading it, didn’t realize it was an AP piece but kept thinking “ this isn’t correct and they are leaving out gobs of stuff such as Jay Carney’s daily “ we had no actionable intelligence” etc...” The piece didn’t mention Carny once. So now that I know it was AP it makes sense....disgusting journalism.

I really think this story has taken on a big life of its own — has gone viral, is all over the internet. And it seems ppl who really could have cared less are commenting on it.

It’s out there, whether the media wants it to be or not.

The reports are that Biden was in the room with Obama watching what was going down and discussing what to do.
I just wonder what Biden’s son Beau thinks about the non-action his father went along with.

> The reports are that Biden was in the room with Obama watching what was going down and discussing what to do.

Why would the President and VP be involved in an operational decision about saving Americans?
This decision should have been made at the LOWEST level not the highest level. Any American military man should have had the Authority and Initiative to make the decision to save other Americans without involving the chain of command above. This functional paralysis in decision making is because too many members of the chain of command are more interested in saving their careers than saving Americans. This is how wars are lost. The lower level participants needed to make decisions and carry them through. Right or wrong a poor decision is better than no decision at all.

The easiest explanation is the one that explains EVERYTHING Obama has done.

Supported Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood

Illegally attacked Libya to overthrow government to enable terrorists.

Pulled US troops out of Iraq prematurely, Terrorist attacks way up in Iraq

Arming “rebels” in Syria

Armed “rebels” in Libya

Doing EVERYTHING wrong with the economy,with insane energy decisions such as blocking drilling, pipeline, with the military, nuclear weapons drastic cuts (almost disarmament)...

ETC.

These are all things a Muslim terrorist playing President would do.

For those Americans who have swallowed all the Kool Aide and can no longer think, Obama is a traitor who is working for THEM. For those who pull up CONSPIRACY THEORY, TIN FOIL HAT, maybe years of therapy may help you be able to think again, maybe.
