To be clear.

This was a CIA outpost. They had their marching orders that may have or likely included sending arms to Syria via Turkey.

If kidnapping theory is valid - maybe the tweet was actually a signal? Or, as liberals like to say - a “trigger”

Dog whistle.

“The “Pastor Jon” video is NOT the “Innocence of Muslims” video blamed later, too?!”

What is the Pastor Jon video????

This is it! Any chance of the DemonRATS picking up any seats in the November election are gone. Look for a GOP sweep this fall. And the impact on the 2016 Presidential race is now clear. The 'RATS are destined for minority status for at least the next four years.

Go Darrell go! Go Sarah go! Go Ted go!

Same here. I saw the video, and even then the view number was STILL low, even after being blamed for the attack.

Yes the video was stupid. So stupid that I didn't finish it either. And there's a whole hell of a lot of other videos that are WAY more "offensive" to Islam.

Why this particular video, unwatched and preposterous became the obsession of the WH is a true mystery.

Hmmmm...for some reason, the word “premeditated” keeps coming to mind.

Asked about the document, a senior White House official told ABC News it demonstrates that the White House genuinely believed the video sparked the attack all along, a belief that turned out to be incorrect.

Somebody better tell Candy Crowley.

Of course, if they were busy constructing a facade before blood was spilled, then they were aware of future events, i.e. this was a planned operation, closely held, and they were constructing the facade amongst closely held resources to avoid accountability or loose ends.

IMHO. more likely that the White House immediately began to scour YouTube for as many anti-Islam videos as they could find, and then chose the one that would best fit their desire to blame the attack on something...anything...but their own failures.

Then, on finding a likely candidate, they contacted YouTube to start their narrative.

Respectfully, I don't think so...

The first apology from the Cairo embassy was early in the morning before the protesters showed up there. 20+ hours before the Benghazi attack.

US Embassy in Cairo quietly deletes its ‘we stand by our condemnation’ tweet; Update: More deleted tweets!

US Embassy In Cairo Deletes Controversial Tweets

A Timeline Of The Attacks In Libya And Egypt -- And The Responses
Brian Beutler – September 12, 2012, 8:50 PM EDT

In anticipation of the ensuing uproar, the U.S. embassy in Cairo issues a statement at 6:17 a.m. ET, according to State Department officials, condemning all attempts to "abuse" free speech rights to offend people of any religion.

"The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims - as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others."

ME protests: the hardline 'tele-Islamist' who brought anti-Islam film to Muslim world's attention

...but nobody had paid attention to its crude libels against the Prophet Mohammed until Mr Abdullah's show broadcast clips from it last weekend,... - Sept. 8-9

Interesting that Nakoula the film maker is also a FedMob stooge.
