Libya-Gate

[dellinger63]

It gets even more sick.

These people have no shame! Wake up!

Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter is coming under intense criticism from Republicans for saying the "entire reason" the attacks on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, had become a political topic was "because of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan."

Now it's the GOP's fault for cutting funding? LMAO

Guess those two chevy volts at $150K (Government always pays triple) ordered for the embassy in Vienna were more important than security at a consulate.

It was the movie I tell ya!

Sen. Lieberman now calling for a senate investigation.

Administration lying to the mother of Sean Smith.

That's all the GOP's fault as well.

3 more weeks!

Summation of the 'scandal'

Is it conceivable that White House officials at the highest levels were not actively engaged in interagency meetings to determine what happened in Benghazi? Is it conceivable that intelligence officials, knowing there was no evidence at all of a link between the film and Benghazi, would fail to tell the president and his colleagues that their claims were unfounded? Is it conceivable that somehow the latest intelligence on the 9/11 attacks was left out of Obama’s intelligence briefings in the days after 9/11? It would have been a priority for every professional at the CIA, the State Department, and the National Security Council to discover exactly what happened in Benghazi as soon as possible. Is it conceivable that the information wasn’t passed to the most senior figures in the administration?

No, it’s really not. And therefore, the fact that these senior figures misled us—and still mislead us—is a scandal of the first order.

So, have any of the screaming monkeys of the right wing, like Faux, trying to inflame nothing into something, yet noticed what everyone else has - that the day after this happened, the President talked about it being terrorism?

No, huh?

Just ignoring that part of reality in search of a good conspiracy theory?

A week after it happened, Obama was on the Late Show blaming it on the video.

No he did not. He blamed it on "extremists and terrorists".

Here's the video link to that portion of the show

Obama mentioned the offensive video, that it caused offense in much of the Muslim world.

But then he said, and I quote, "But what also happened was that extremists and terrorists used this as an excuse to attack a variety of our embassies, including the consulate in Libya."

Like he said in the first press conference the day after it happened (which the RW ignores), where he called it "terrorism".

That still is not correct. The terrorists didn't use the video as an excuse to attack. This attack had been planned for a long time. It was the anniversary of 9/11. The video had absolutely nothing to do with the attack.
