Without going through the mess in this thread ... just looking at the title and wondering what Obama was supposedly correct about.
He wasn't correct about the cause of the attack in Benghazi. He was a shameless liar about that. Was he actually correct about something?
Soooooo it's no big deal that the DoS and DoD weren't ready to protect Americans doing official duties in a terrorist wild west of Libya on some date....called 11 Sep?
11 Sep...is an irrelevant date in your inferior pig brain.
Conservative efforts to contrive a controversy where none exists is both pathetic and telling.
So much for the Republican campaign against Hillary
A Deadly Mix in Benghazi - The New York Times
Months of investigation by The New York Times, centered on extensive interviews with Libyans in Benghazi who had direct knowledge of the attack there and its context, turned up no evidence that Al Qaeda or other international terrorist groups had any role in the assault.
You do realize this contradicts sworn testimony right? You do realize that this article called all the men who were there on the night of that attack a bunch of liars, don't you? If this is true, then they should all be thrown in jail for perjury, correct?
But no, this is the problem with investigative journalism influenced by political bias, it doesn't serve as a substitute to professional intelligence gathering. Investigative journalism by the New York times wouldn't equal the CIA at it's worst. Besides, Al Qaeda did play a role in the attack. Mr. Kirkpatrick is lying through his teeth.

Libyan president says attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens was planned terrorism ? not reaction to anti-Islam film - NY Daily News
According to an interview investigators conducted with Greg Hicks, a foreign service diplomat of 22 years, "everybody in the mission" in Benghazi believed the events of Sept 11, 2012, constituted a terrorist attack and we're not the result of spontaneous demonstrations as the administration portrayed the situation in the aftermath of the attack.
Benghazi Attack Appeared 'A Terrorist Attack From The Get-Go,' Says U.S. Official

Consulate Attack Preplanned, Libya's President Says : NPR
President Obama did not call his Libyan counterpart the night of the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler told lawmakers.
Instead, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called President Mohammed Magariaf on Obama's behalf that night to coordinate additional support to protect Americans in Libya and access to Libyan territory, Ruemmler wrote in a letter dated Thursday. The president then called Magariaf the next evening.

IT is amusing that the left are reduced to trying to say that the terrorists who attacked Benghazi were not al-queada...just ordinary terrorists. This after they claim it was about a movie made by and American. How sad and pathetic.....

Yup.
now let's hang Issa from a liberty tree.
Because the NYT says so!
To really illustrate how pathetic this story is and their running with this story is that the terrorist group which is not so-called AQ means Obama lied that he is personally shutting down terrorism worldwide when there are terrorist groups growing like weeds in Africa.

Time for you rw's to manufacture a new phony scandal.
You act as if the attack on the trade towers by Osama Bin Laden began during the Bush administration. Wait, that's right the left didn't like to associate the "incident" with the words attack or terrorism, did they?
Ummm...yes they did begin during the Bush administration. Sept 11 2001..... Bush allowed the worst attack in US history
Try February 26, 1993 under President Clinton, followed by the Khobar Towers bombing at Saudi Arabia in 1996, the U.S. Embassy bombings Kenya/Tanzania in 1998, then the successful attack on the USS Cole Bombing at Yemen in 2000. The weakest administration to protect US interests from the likes of Osama Bin Laden.
First liberals claimed there was no terrorist attack, it was an angry mob that just showed up and a "few Americans died."
Then when caught they are now changing their lie to "well it wasn't AQ since the group that did the attack doesn't go by 'AQ'."
They are that pathetic and scummy.

For Immediate Release
September 12, 2012
Remarks by the President on the Deaths of U.S. Embassy Staff in Libya
Rose Garden
10:43 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Every day, all across the world, American diplomats and civilians work tirelessly to advance the interests and values of our nation. Often, they are away from their families. Sometimes, they brave great danger.
Yesterday, four of these extraordinary Americans were killed in an attack on our diplomatic post in Benghazi. Among those killed was our Ambassador, Chris Stevens, as well as Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith. We are still notifying the families of the others who were killed. And today, the American people stand united in holding the families of the four Americans in our thoughts and in our prayers.
The United States condemns in the strongest terms this outrageous and shocking attack. We're working with the government of Libya to secure our diplomats. I've also directed my administration to increase our security at diplomatic posts around the world. And make no mistake, we will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attacked our people.
Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts.
Already, many Libyans have joined us in doing so, and this attack will not break the bonds between the United States and Libya. Libyan security personnel fought back against the attackers alongside Americans. Libyans helped some of our diplomats find safety, and they carried Ambassador Stevens’s body to the hospital, where we tragically learned that he had died.
It's especially tragic that Chris Stevens died in Benghazi because it is a city that he helped to save. At the height of the Libyan revolution, Chris led our diplomatic post in Benghazi. With characteristic skill, courage, and resolve, he built partnerships with Libyan revolutionaries, and helped them as they planned to build a new Libya. When the Qaddafi regime came to an end, Chris was there to serve as our ambassador to the new Libya, and he worked tirelessly to support this young democracy, and I think both Secretary Clinton and I relied deeply on his knowledge of the situation on the ground there. He was a role model to all who worked with him and to the young diplomats who aspire to walk in his footsteps.
Along with his colleagues, Chris died in a country that is still striving to emerge from the recent experience of war. Today, the loss of these four Americans is fresh, but our memories of them linger on. I have no doubt that their legacy will live on through the work that they did far from our shores and in the hearts of those who love them back home.
Of course, yesterday was already a painful day for our nation as we marked the solemn memory of the 9/11 attacks. We mourned with the families who were lost on that day. I visited the graves of troops who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan at the hallowed grounds of Arlington Cemetery, and had the opportunity to say thank you and visit some of our wounded warriors at Walter Reed. And then last night, we learned the news of this attack in Benghazi.
As Americans, let us never, ever forget that our freedom is only sustained because there are people who are willing to fight for it, to stand up for it, and in some cases, lay down their lives for it. Our country is only as strong as the character of our people and the service of those both civilian and military who represent us around the globe.
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. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.
But we also know that the lives these Americans led stand in stark contrast to those of their attackers. These four Americans stood up for freedom and human dignity. They should give every American great pride in the country that they served, and the hope that our flag represents to people around the globe who also yearn to live in freedom and with dignity.
We grieve with their families, but let us carry on their memory, and let us continue their work of seeking a stronger America and a better world for all of our children.
Thank you. May God bless the memory of those we lost and may God bless the United States of America.
END
