So there was no Benghazi scandal?

[Vigilante]

So the Islamic terrorist who was captured this week by the USA said they attacked the US Embassy in Benghazi because of the blasphemous Islamic video...
..exactly what was first reported.

...and Susan Rice reported the truth? And the entire GOP has been wrong (AGAIN) throughout multiple investigations..?

So the GOP has wasted thousands of dollars and months of time that could have been used actually legislating..?


wow,,they must feel really incompetent

The "Scandal" was Romney attacking a President during a time when America was being attacked by a foreign aggressor, WHILE THE ATTACK WAS ONGOING.

That's never been done.

Ever.

Romney was and is a scumbag.

As are the scumbags who continue to use this terribly sad and horrible a political chip for extremely selfish and un-American reasons.

Which is complete and unadulterated bullshit.

[Kosh]

The far left posters here continue to show that the would much rather watch the world burn than admit they are wrong.

Seen one far left post, seen them all.

According to you right wingers, leftist have no God.

Funny thing is that they may not have a God but they have a messiah.

 

[Freewill]

OK, no confirmation of anything he might have said.

How can we believe the administration. If Benghazi wasn't bad enough didn't Rice also tell us that Begdahl (sp) served with honor and distinction, they will tell us anything.

Considering how friendly Obama is with the radicals, I would bet that this guy is willing to play along and claim Obama was right. I bet he will be richly rewarded for this. With the investigation heating up and more people watching, something had to be done. How convenient that one guy, who they will claim was the leader, turns out to be some protester after all. And the idiots will buy it hook, line and sinker.

Doesn't anyone ever question the timing of things? Funny that after all this time, someone finally gets caught. And we will be asked to believe that a bunch of poor protesters, who happened to be armed with expensive weapons, just happened to be offended by some obscure video and flew off the handle on 9/11? And the attack was so well planned that it's sure hard to believe a bunch of hapless protesters could come up with such a complicated scheme and carry it out like professionals. And all those threats and attacks in the months before that were just coincidences.

How fucking stupid do they think people are?

doesn't anyone wait until the trial to see what the facts are?


never mind, scratch that ... of course they don't.

Any link to that?

Why, you will only ignore it. But for the record, he told the media almost 2 years ago that the video is what started the protest which eventually morphed into the attack.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/19/w...-attack-scoffs-at-us.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

Mr. Abu Khattala, 41, wearing a red fez and sandals, added his own spin. Contradicting the accounts of many witnesses and the most recent account of the Obama administration, he contended that the attack had grown out of a peaceful protest against a video made in the United States that mocked the Prophet Muhammad and Islam.

There's at least four other threads on it. Find them.

Is that TREND getting clearer now?

I'm sure it would have been all over the media if it was legit. This is what a Libyan had told a news reporter (NY TIMES) and that the terrorist had told the Libyan. He said she said

It was over the honest media, which is why you never heard it. There were witnesses on the scene, like the deputy Libyan interior minister and the friend of Stevens who dropped him off at the embassy, who reported that there was a protest over the video in the papers the next day, before corporate media and the GOP decided to gin up another fake scandal. Stevens' friend told reporters that the protest was going on as he dropped off Stevens at the embassy, the deputy interior minister said the protests started around noon.

How could you and the Right not know this if you are as "informed" as you pretend to be???????

There's just zero defense of this.

Even some conservatives, notably MCCAIN, before he got his Benghazi marching papers, said this was indefensible.



Which is why Republicans had to double down on this.

What they did..was despicable.

 

[Avatar4321]

Nope. No one died. No one tried to blame an unrelated video for several weeks. No one was in Libya trying to recover guns we gave to Al Qaeda.

"The Unrelated" video meme got shot down by The New York Times..and by the planner of the attack itself.

And the US did not give guns to Al Qaeda.

Well..not recently.

Reagan did..but that's different.

He considered them "Founding fathers" and worthy of having a space shuttle dedicated to them.

 

[MrLiberty]

why is the left so quick to believe a terrorist who was instrumental in killing our ambassador?

 

[edthecynic]

I've been looking for any reports about anything this guy has said. So far, all I've found is reports that he says he wasn't there at all. No videos, no attacks, nothing... so far.

Where did you hear he said anything about a video?

You didn't, by any chance, make it up out of thin air, did you?

Daily KOS ran a NY Times piece. But it was vague at best.

[MENTION=17949]Meister[/MENTION]

I don't know what NY Times piece KOS cited, but the Times piece I cited is hardly "vague." Here is the Washington Post from the next day which cites three different witnesses from the one cited by the Times, do you think this is "vague?"

Libya consulate attack came after militants joined protesters, say witnesses, officials - The Washington Post

At least an hour before the assault began, a stream of cars was seen moving toward the U.S. Consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi. By late Tuesday evening, as many as 50 heavily armed militants had gathered outside its high walls.
They joined protesters outside the consulate who were demonstrating against an American movie that they believed denigrated the prophet Muhammad. But according to one witness, the new arrivals neither chanted slogans nor carried banners.
“They said, ‘We are Muslims defending the prophet. We are defending Islam,’ ” Libyan television journalist Firas Abdelhakim said in an interview.

Stevens, who had spent many years in Libya, had arrived Monday from the embassy in Tripoli for a week of routine meetings. A friend who spent Monday and Tuesday with him said Stevens held meetings with nongovernmental organizations and militia leaders on both days. When the friend dropped Stevens off at the consulate Tuesday afternoon, he said, nothing appeared to be amiss — beyond the protesters.

The first protesters had showed up around noon. Wanis al-Sharif, the deputy Libyan interior minister, said in an interview that the demonstrators were angered by a low-budget American film that portrayed the prophet Muhammad in a blasphemous manner. As the day wore on, Sharif said, the anger escalated and people with weapons infiltrated the crowd.

 

[edthecynic]

why is the left so quick to believe a terrorist who was instrumental in killing our ambassador?

Because the terrorist was not the only witness. The Washington post has three more witnesses, one a Libyan reporter, another the deputy Libyan interior minister and the third a friend of Stevens who spent Monday and Tuesday with him and dropped him off at the embassy on Tuesday while the protest was going on.

Why can't the Right accept eye witness testimony instead of the conjecture of anyone who was not there???

No scandal, no shit, big surprise there. Like that wasn't already obvious from the very beginning. GOP lawmakers should be ashamed of themselves for exploiting the deaths of four Americans for petty political purpose.
