U.S. Ambassador Killed Over Anti-Islam Movie

[Diemen]

The problem with the cries of "CONSPIRACY!!!!" is that, no matter what evidence is shown to refute the claims, it is always, always dismissed. Every tree that's been barked up has proven fruitless.

Much as with the birther movement, there's just no there there.

It's amazing to me what lengths the apologists will go to protect this particular president. ~INDY500

Not only the president, but now I think they are now trying
to patch their story for Hillary's run.

Exactly right, imagine a comprehensive 7,500 word story on the murder of an ambassador and attack on a U.S. embassy in Benghazi that mentions Sec of State Hillary Clinton exactly... zero times.

This non-story would have been dropped months ago ... If not for Hillary and the GOP's need to try to damage her for 2016.

It didn't work against O (and was quite embarrassing for Mittens) and it won't work against HRC. If she runs.

No comment on the Senate report? Not surprising since it isn't new to anyone other than NY Times readers.

The House report did provide this revelation:

Minutes after the American consulate in Benghazi came under assault on Sept. 11, 2012, the nation's top civilian and uniformed defense officials -- headed for a previouslyscheduled Oval Office session with President Obama -- were informed that the event was a "terrorist attack," declassified documents show. The new evidence raises the question of why the top military men, one of whom was a member of the president's Cabinet, allowed him and other senior Obama administration officials to press a false narrative of the Benghazi attacks for two weeks afterward.

So Obama knew 90 minutes after the attack but he and Hillary pushed the video narrative for weeks.

Funny, I'm pretty sure Obama referred to it as an act of terror pretty quickly.

The attack occurred on Sept. 11th.

“No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for.”

— Obama, Rose Garden, Sept. 12

“We want to send a message all around the world — anybody who would do us harm: No act of terror will dim the light of the values that we proudly shine on the rest of the world, and no act of violence will shake the resolve of the United States of America.”

— Obama, campaign event in Las Vegas, Sept. 13

“I want people around the world to hear me: To all those who would do us harm, no act of terror will go unpunished. It will not dim the light of the values that we proudly present to the rest of the world. No act of violence shakes the resolve of the United States of America.”

— Obama, campaign event in Golden, Colo., Sept. 13
