New details from administration e-mails about last year’s attacks on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, demonstrate that an intense bureaucratic clash took place between the State Department and the CIA over which agency would get to tell the story of how the tragedy unfolded.
That clash played out in the development of administration talking points that have been at the center of the controversy over the handling of the incident, according to the e-mails that came to light Friday. Full article here
=============================================================
Liberals had been giddy all week, believing their own silly press releases (commonly known as "newspapers") arguing that the 'Republican-run' Benghazi hearings produced no real smoking gun, all the while furiously attacking the whistleblowers and insisting they weren't attacking the whistleblowers.Many libbies even fantasized that the Benghazi hearings had already blown over -- some were making this keen observation minutes after the hearings began.
Liberals kept telling each other that Benghazi won't even be a teensy-weensy, itty-bitty blip on the radar screen by the time Campaign 2016 rolls around -- that more than enough time will have elapsed between the murders in Benghazi and the next presidential campaign, paving the way for president Hillary, Gaea willing.
But then Jonathan Karl of ABC news had to gum up the works. Remember Him? He's the chap accused of perpetrating journalism a few weeks ago, when he reduced Obama during his press conference into insisting he still had the relevant juice and that reports of his de-juicification are greatly exaggerated.
Now Jonathan Karl reports there were a dozen differing versions of the Benghazi talking points which show extensive editing "as they evolved from the drafts first written entirely by the CIA" to the "final version" written entirely by Mr. Magoo.
No threats of terrorist attacks, no terrorist attacks, no warning of five other recent attacks in Benghazi against foreign interests, no Ansar al-Sharia and no al-Qaeda to see here, move along.
Since it was clear the original version written by the CIA was riddled with factual accuracies, Hillary's State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland insisted on plenty of dishwashing liquid and scrub brushes as part of the 'editing' process. It was all to ensure the final version their programmed little robot Susan Rice would read off from on all the Sunday news shows pegged the needle on the ol' Baghdad-Bob-o-meter past the breaking point.
For months, White House flack Jay Carney kept frenziedly pointing the press to his own lies back in November as evidence he was telling the truth about the talking points.
Today, Obama's spokes-hack was pulled out of that comfort zone by Obama's jilted lovers during his 'Honey, It's-not-what-you-think-- I-can-explain!' presser which had the whiff of blood in the water all over the place. Benghazi won't be dropping into any memory hole yet -- in fact, this is just the warm-up act.
Anyway, that's...

Clash?? Naw....They just couldn’t agree who should tell the biggest lie first??
I was shocked to see Whoraldo last night pushing that story to none other than BOR. Now we have the media pissed at the White House, why? Because they carried the water for them for so long, now they are stuck having to protect their duplicity and what better way than to do unto them the way that them has done unto anyone who tried to point out the lies.
Let this boil for a little while along with the new investigations of the IRS and when they least expect it, Bammo! (no pun intended) All the way to the moon!
Sheryl Atkinson will drop a new story about it first using his ridiculous statement in Mexico blaming We The People.
When this SOB gets on the helicopter for the last time on the WH Lawn, instead of waving the peace sign, he will scratch something on his cheek with that fargin middle finger of his. The whole fargin bunch will be prosecuted along with several congresscritteres. Then all of a sudden, the BC issue will spring up again.
These latest revelations will be seen as the dam break because everything will let loose.
I especially think this is significant:
Since it was clear the original version written by the CIA was riddled with factual accuracies, Hillary's State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland insisted on plenty of dishwashing liquid and scrub brushes as part of the 'editing' process.
Nuland needs to be in front of the committee or a special committee, under oath first, followed by Hillary.
All of a sudden, all the bureaucratic care promises for the current state Department employees, aka “Obamacare”, do not apply to whistleblowers etc...
The Whitehouse simply refuses to fill out the required paperwork for their employees and attacks its own very bureaucratic union protective racket windmill.
This is not about attacking a past did, this is about implementing responsability and recognition of the government employee.
But they did the same with FAst and FUrious, and currently ICE is standing down telling both the government and the AMerican people, that they are no longer responsible for happens next to AMerica so long Big Sis and these gangsters on top fudge on decisions and piece meal implementation of the law as they see fit in the typical liberal “real time convenience of the moment”.
>> ...Since it was clear the original version written by the CIA was riddled with factual accuracies...
Now THAT is funny!
It’s also disgusting and infuriating.
This is the most evil administration we’ve had in all our 237 years.
You may find these two article helpful, one to the lack of credibility of the the investigators and the other shows NATO assets in the area never called upon.

Your insight is a gift to Freerepublic. Thank you
If the White House ever mentioned “truth” instead of “talking points” I would be shocked - and probably have to go to some hospital.
I love your two cents!

John I had almost forgotten what it was like to read your gems. Another great job there.
A timeline from, believe it or not, ABC News, showing very clearly the edits made to the talking points.

Oh JohnHuang2, you've done it again!
“Benghazi won’t be dropping into any memory hole yet — in fact, this is just the warm-up act.”
