It’s Sunday, so let the games begin. Meet the Press had a stacked list of guests today ready to re-re-rehash the fight over Benghazi, in light of a new investigative reportpublished by the New York Times.
First up, David Kirkpatrick, author of the Times piece. “I think honestly if you asked anyone in the U.S. Intelligence business, they would tell you the same thing,” Kirkpatrick said when asked about his conclusion the attack on a U.S. compound in Benghazi bore no link to al Qaida. “It’s just obvious.”
Kirpatrick said the only way one could claim al Qaida involvement was, "If you're using the term al Qaida to describe even a local group of Islamist militants who dislike democracy or have a grudge against the United States. If you're going to call anybody like that 'al Qaeda,' then, okay.”
Next up, Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA), one of the harshest critics of the White House’s handling of the attack. "There was a group that was involved that claims an affiliation with al Qaida,” Issa said, standing by his earlier assertion of an al Qaida link.
And what of the infamous video, Innocence of Muslims, which Susan Rice and now theNew York Times say spurred the event? There is no evidence a video motivated the attack, Issa said, and any claims of such were, “at best a coverup.”
it would not matter if Bin Laden came back from the dead and told Issa personally that his people had nothing to do with it it was the bigoted preacher and his defaming of their religion which they hold above all else Issa would simply tell his ghost "you lie".
as far as a cover up is that what he's doing by trying to insist his mind fart was real and something he has no proof of he is covering his butt for saying from the beginning it was al-qaida, so he proceeds to spin millions and hours to prove his assumption, question why have republicans not stopped him. insanity?
issa is dangerous he's a republican on a mission of obsession to try and prove something that he and the right wing assumed and jumped the gun to blame the Pres. for covering up, you would think that they would know it when they see it since that has been their everlasting mantle, but obsession makes you see what you do in everybody else.
