Clinton talks Iraq and Benghazi with the Sun ed board
The Conway Daily Sun ^ | 12/30/2015 | Daymond Steer

Posted on 01/01/2016 6:41:32 AM PST by cyn

Sun Columnist Tom McLaughlin said she told an Egyptian diplomat the Benghazi attack was planned and not a protest but that she told family members of the deceased that the attack was the result of a demonstration. He said she then told George Stephanopoulos that she didn't tell the families the attack was a demonstration about a film.

"Somebody is lying," said McLaughlin."Who is it?

Clinton replied, "Not me, that's all I can tell you."

At the time, Clinton said, everyone was emotionally distraught. She said some families didn't know their sons were working for the CIA or were in Benghazi. Clinton said the information she had about the attack was from the intelligence community.

"What happened is people were doing the best they could with information that was changing," said Clinton. "The CIA wrote and approved the talking points that were used. It was also true that from Egypt to Tunisia to Pakistan, the video was the primary spark that was sending people into protesting against our facilities. All of this was happening simultaneously."

Continuing to press, McLaughlin said three family members victims said that Clinton told him that the attack was the result of the video and or that the filmmaker should be arrested.

Clinton replied that other family members believe differently and stressed she had sympathy for all involved. "I can't recite for you everything that was in a conversation where people were sobbing, where people were distraught, the president and the vice president, we were all making the rounds talking to people, listening to people," said Clinton. "I was in a very difficult position because we have not yet said two of the four dead were CIA ... This was a part of the fog of war."

But for the actions of Glen Doherty & Tyrone Woods & others, there would have been many more dead & injured.

Then there's this (had to cut):

As for Benghazi, she said eight or nine independent investigations have taken place. She also said that as a matter of course, the U.S. sends Americans into dangerous situations. "Reagan sent Marines to Beirut, and we lost hundreds of Marines, and we had our embassy bombed," said Clinton. "It was never made into a political issue."

The reason cited for not sending help immediately into Benghazi -- when we KNOW those in command had the capability & burning desire to go to rescue -- was that we'd be sending troops into harms way.

The Audacity of Hillary.

I want to hear from the other 38 Americans that were evacuated from there on Sept. 13th as well.

Happy New Year to you!

“”Reagan sent Marines to Beirut, and we lost hundreds of Marines, and we had our embassy bombed,” said Clinton. “It was never made into a political issue.””

Gee Hillary - maybe that was because PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN didn’t try to make excuses for what happened in Beirut or lie about it.

I wonder if they’ve all been threatened and will not speak because they were told not too. I would not put it past the muslim in the WH or our former wench SOS.

Wait - stop. All you CAN tell me? Why? Why is that all you can tell me? If anyone called me a liar where something occurred on my watch where people were murdered, there's no way I'd leave it at that and refuse to address that accusation.

She lies so quickly and so easily, about anything, including grave matters. She's beyond a sociopath, she's evil.

"How can anyone watch and listen to Hillary and Obama's statements to the families of the Benghazi victims at the airport when the bodies arrived in the US and not hear them both lying about the video?"

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

No need for anyone to tape her. It's there for the whole world to see. Her words that day - in front of the flag draped coffins - need to be put on signs and carried at all her campaign stops.

When Trump or Cruz - whoever wins - are running against her they can use it as TV ad...

Powerful stuff...

Besides, what difference at this point does it make?

Lying about the FAMILIES?! Let's not ask how low these ... can't call them snakes, that is an affront to snakes!

I'm with you...

I have no idea how Hillary can lie about the families - families who lost their children while they were defending this country. It's so disgraceful..so tacky.

He was in a hostile environment. This part didn't make the cut in my excerpt, but bears (heh) mentioning:

Republicans have tried to politicize the attacks, and Clinton spent 11 hours testifying before Congress about them.

Yep. That little editorial comment just HAD to be added into the mix so readers would know Benghazi is, pffft! merely a political ploy, never mind the lives lost. Never mind that hillary lied & prevaricated for 11 hours.

It's not working though: this interview is getting more alt media mentions & links -- Drudge link, PJ media ...

Thanks for that link. I’m surprised any of them are still up. I sure hope a lot of people have this saved somewhere that it can’t be hidden.

As you pointed out, the message & proof of her lie cannot be ignored.

'Somebody is lying,'
McLaughlin told her Wednesday.
'Who is it?'

'Not me,
that's all I can tell you,'
Clinton replied,
casting blame on the families.

I believe Trump got the message ...

Retweet:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 15h15 hours ago

“@jallenaip: Hillary said she was in a “Fog of War” as explanation for the lies about Benghazi. No fog allowed in WH. Vote Trump POTUS!”
