One of the White House’s First Responses During the Benghazi Attack: Call YouTube
PJ Media ^ | 5/22/14 | Bryan Preston

Posted on 05/22/2014 5:32:59 PM PDT by Nachum

While Ambassador Chris Stevens was missing on September 11, 2012, and while Tyrone Woods, Sean Smith and Glen Doherty were fighting for their lives, with military assets within a quick flight to provide aid, the Obama White House decided to call…YouTube. A still-classified State Department e-mail says that one of the first responses from the White House to the Benghazi attack was to contact YouTube to warn of the “ramifications” of allowing the posting of an anti-Islamic video, according to Rep. Darrell Issa, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The memo suggests that even as

Pelosi’s dems will look like idiots trying to keep all this from coming out. When does it start? I can’t wait.

The 30 STATE DEPT. employees rescued have been sequestered ,no questions by inquiry, no statements given , ..FOR A REASON !! I want to know why they haven't been questioned !!

Those 35 or so rescuees that the State Department won’t let be interviewed might shed some light on that.

Hey Trey Gowdy,where are they?

Problem for all of us is what happens when the rest of the world finds out the US in affect has attacked itself and started a war they have been shedding their blood and wealth on.

The US wont have an ally in the world. We can’t be trusted. We’ll be completely alone. We’ll be wide open for an attack.

Could be why Putin’s acting up, he knows no one will back us up.

We could be looking at full blown WWIII.

I’ve always said Hillary would start WWIII in her quest for absolute power.

Just how in the world does one call YT?

Obama would never call YT. He hates YT.

One thing that you nailed - The entire world knows what Obama is. He is a coward. He will use a drone to murder his own citizens, but will not lift a finger to help if it is offensive to our enemies.

Putin can do A N Y T H I N G he wants. He knows Obama will do nothing.

The dems and the left are real good at starting wars then turning against the people that are willing to fight them.

I don’t see the leaders our ally countries getting into another war supporting the US then having the US anti war crowd use that support against them and topple them from power.

Even worse, Obama gets us into a war and our allies support us then Obama decides to surrender and leave our allies to fight a war he started.

Well, that answers two of the fundamental questions up to now unanswered :

Who dreamed up the video red herring?
And from how high did it originate?

I will forever cherish the inevitable anal-cranial inversion the explanation of that might trigger!

Popcorn time!

I read somewhere that the video had less than 2000 hits before it was pulled.

I managed to view it.
Can't remember exactly when but it was while the WTF moment persisted.

I suspect this White House, like every administration before them, has contingency plans for everything.

The only difference being that previous administrations had action plans, a list of activities to reduce and ameliorate any threat to the United States and its allies.

Obama only has a list of who to blame...

I watched the video. I didn’t race to the computer to view it when the story first broke, so several news hours had passed by the time I finally watched it. There were something like 250 - 350 views at the time. Seriously. That’s all. That was awfully fishy to me. All this hullabaloo about an offensive video coming out of the Administration and the State Department and very few had viewed it?

Hindsight is 20/20. Looking back and knowing what we already know and what new things we learn as documents finally come forward thanks to FOIAs, I am more sickened every day by the deception and lack of appropriate priorities on 9-11-12. It’s bad enough that we have such evil people in office. My fear is that a good portion of the electorate will never realize/admit what scuzzballs they were and will continue to elect more scuzzballs.

I saw a Fox panel before 9/11/12 specifically say that the Blind Sheikh would be released before the election or end of the year. Apparently, this was common knowledge in DC at the time.

How and what did they know?

“.... The only difference being that previous administrations had action plans, a list of activities to reduce and ameliorate any threat to the United States and its allies. ....”

And that is the HUGE difference between previous administrations and this one...

0 did NOTHING to protect American lives.

0 lied, people died.
