From the Slimes article:

“Months of investigation by The New York Times, centered on extensive interviews with Libyans in Benghazi who had direct knowledge of the attack there and its context, turned up no evidence that Al Qaeda or other international terrorist groups had any role in the assault. The attack was led, instead, by fighters who had benefited directly from NATO’s extensive air power and logistics support during the uprising against Colonel Qaddafi. And contrary to claims by some members of Congress, it was fueled in large part by anger at an American-made video denigrating Islam.”

Walter Duranty would be so proud.

Allow me to call into question the very nature of the “research” conducted by the NYSlyme.

First, it was after the fact about a well known event. It sounds like it was using people vested in the event. And, it sounds like impressions after the fact were shared.

Go into the streets in Boston NOW, and interview “interested” people about the marathon bombing. Then make a report on their “impressions”, and see how influenced their impression are NOW by the facts that have come out since the moment it happened. Their “at the moment it happened” impression can never be recaptured.

And we have proof that social media didn’t start circulating discussion about the video until 24 hours after the attack. And we know for a FACT, that it wasn’t translated into Arabic at the time of the attack.

The peopaganda of democrates only fuels the perceived victimhood of terrorists and their fund raising for anyone defending that video from guilt in this.

It is not merely misleading, it is Hillary foreign aid policy and aiding fund raising of foreign terrorists.

You're spot on. See how this story dovetails with the interests of both the WH and the Libyan terrorists. The WH can claim vindication on the absurd video story, and more importantly: if the perps are not AQ but just some guys upset about a video, then the WH doesn't have to hunt them down and capture them.

So of course the AQ perps have every incentive to lie to credulous Slimes journalists: “See, we aren't AQ, we're just some guys who got crazy after seeing big Mo ridiculed in a video we never saw.”

What this idiotic story can not whitewash is the fundamental fact that Stevens was begging for more security for months before this happened. Would he have done that if he was only worried about an excitable mob?

“A top congressional Republican is saying a new report that concludes Al Qaeda did not carry out the 2012 attack on the U.S diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, is “misleading.” “

There’s that really harsh word, MISLEADING....why, WHY can’t they (Republicans, RINO’s) call a LIE, a LIE???? So sick of them all!

Remember the outrage when Joe Wilson called Obama a a liar? No one seems to have the guts to do something like that again...

Not really. It's a commonplace now. Even the liberals had to admit it. In public. With children listening.

No point in belaboring the minthingly obviouth.
