they knew it because they jumped the gun and tried to make lemonade out of this tragedy by getting out there first and compromising the truth like theyhave done with every bit of info or situation they look for a negative to applyto their already fabricated gun jumping.
they can exploit everytime somethinghappens but they will never rise to the heights of their ignoring threats and getting thousands killed.
For eleven days after the 9/11 anniversary assault on the U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, top Obama administration officials told the public that the assault stemmed from a protest of an anti-Muslim YouTube video.That was the public line from the White House in the closing weeks of a presidential election season, but it was not the view of several State Department officials at the time or the U.S. personnel on the ground in Libya.At a hearing of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Benghazi Wednesday, Trey Goudy, a Republican from South Carolina, read into the record an email from Beth Jones, the acting assistant secretary of state for Near East Affairs.The September 12 email—disclosed for the first time on Wednesday—said Jones had spoken to Libya’s ambassador to Washington who said the attack was the work of former Gadhafi regime loyalists. Jones said she told the ambassador: “The group that conducted the attacks, Ansar al-Sharia, is affiliated with Islamic terrorists.”
much respect for like but this is a early painting of Hilary. they want her all colored up as incompetent and not worthy of being Pres. this is all they have on their plates right now deception and confused rhetoric again to give themselves what they see as a no competition with whoever they pick against her, speaks volumes to their own sense of security of being able to win on their on meritless record.
In one of the most dramatic moments of the hearing, Hicks recounted what was likely some of the last words of Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador who was killed in the initial assault on the diplomatic and intelligence compound in Libya’s second city. In a patchy phone call, Stevens told Hicks: “We’re under attack.”
Republicans drew blood on the issue of what Obama and his top advisers said about Benghazi after the attack. Senior State Department and intelligence officials have said since the fall that the statements from top U.S. officials in the days after the Benghazi attacks were based on the best intelligence at the time.
intelligence has been a cesspool of misdirection by the gatherers as well as the admins they fed it to, Cheyney/Bush made theirs up and then sought manufactured truth, no where near the thousands killed as a result of that but were they going after truth then,
Cheyney is bragging and saying he'd do it again, where has the outrage been, the lower the body count the more the right wing wants to make something up,
when thousands by it executive privilege and lie and refuse to cooperate with investigation is all we got for their war crimes. double standards???
