Exactly. Hillary's statement was released at 10 PM or 4 AM Benghazi time.

Clinton: Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.

Don’t think they didn’t look long and hard for some way to pin this whole VA mess on Ebay too.

I think I wrote on that day, 9/12 maybe?? as a LOT of Freepers did that the video in the morning had less that 500 hits, maybe less than that. There was a full video that had very few hits( less than a 100 because it was so bad, also no one even knew about it) then there was a promo which had as stated about 4-500 hits and I saw it after the FR-link was up for many hours.
The danged video was a non issue then, non issue now, what the president did and didn’t do in his little lying election year will , I HOPE, take him and his cronies down for good.

The video is a moot point to begin with.

We do not go about apologizing to attackers of our diplomats.

How do so many miss this point?

“Working on their backstory while our guys were being killed. Anyone suprised?”

That is the truth however WH will say it proves they believed video was to blame and they wanted to take action to prevent OTHER consulates from being attacked. You wait. They will use it to their advantage.

Holy crap. It CAN get worse.

>> What ramifications? This is a free speech issue. Are we now openly Soviet?

Yup. The regime pissed on the 1st Amendment as cover for the murder of 4 US Citizens, and few gave a damn.

Hillary Clinton's statement at 10PM (4 am in Benghazi) the night of the attack. The letter to YouTube was clearly part of the cover-up and the beginning of the video lie. You can see in her statement the Clintonian parsing of words, i.e., "Some have sought to justify...." We have no idea what was the source for this characterization.

I condemn in the strongest terms the attack on our mission in Benghazi today. As we work to secure our personnel and facilities, we have confirmed that one of our State Department officers was killed. We are heartbroken by this terrible loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and those who have suffered in this attack.

This evening, I called Libyan President Magariaf to coordinate additional support to protect Americans in Libya. President Magariaf expressed his condemnation and condolences and pledged his government’s full cooperation.

Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.

In light of the events of today, the United States government is working with partner countries around the world to protect our personnel, our missions, and American citizens worldwide.

Which, of course, indicates that the Obama administration was well aware of the Youtube video in advance of the attack.

Seems to me they were well aware of the attack before the attack.

Metadata pulled from the avatar seems to suggest the gubmint MADE the vid to cover their a** on Benghazi.

Thank you for posting this—this Montagraph video says a great deal.

They were apologizing to Egypt before anyone knew about the video and before anyone was killed.

“White House is reaching out to U-Tube [sic] to advice ramification of the posting of the Pastor Jon video,” the e-mail reads, according to Issa.

Who is Pastor Jon? Nakoula Basseley is the the video maker who was jailed.

I believe Hillary had aready blamed the video for the earlier attack in Egypt, so the story (probably prepared in advance to cover up any 9/11 attacks) was already planned for use.

That’s what I was thinking. They are talking about a different video. They must have found the Nikoula video afterward and decided it fit the narrative better.

I think that pastor in Florida who burned a Koran was named John.
