Boston vs. Benghazi

They knew what happened in Benghazi and then lied about it. Most likely because the Obama campaign was running ads on TV that bragged about "decimating" Al Qaeda. So admitting that AQ scored a major victory in Libya was out of the question until after the election.

We backed Al Queda in the conflict ..

.. Ambassador Stevens was the paymaster/bagman.

He was killed by Libyan loyalists.

That's the truth they don't want told.
 
I think they were going with the information they had. I don't know that it was deliberate and neither do you. It's kind of the same thing with the WMD's in Iraq. I do believe that the administration jumped the gun, but deliberate? I don't know.

Had they not continued spreading the same incorrect information AFTER they knew it was incorrect, I would give them the benefit of the doubt. But that is not what happened.
 
No, they were pissed that he was trying to blame it on a stupid video that had nothing to do with it. We have threads, we don't even have to use memories.

This is rewriting history... People weren't pissed about the "lack of information" they were pissed about the attempt to spread false information.

That's not really correct. That is ONE thing they were pissed about, but a lot of it was the failure to identify it as terrorism right away, and perceived "evasiveness" in general. It's factually incorrect to try to portray it as being just about the video.

Fox had a front page story about it every day. For them, it was more about the "lying" and hesitance to use the characterization of "terror" in the beginning.

I suspect that is true.
I think the term "Lybian Loyalist" is misleading....

Stevens was killed by those loyal to the Quadafy regime for having supported America and our allies attempts to back the opposition.
 
The President's administration lied after four people were killed, and the Republicans screamed for hearings.

Stevens was killed by Libyan loyalists who did not want their nation overthrown by NATO and Al Queda for its resources.

US lies PROVED in under 30 seconds ..


MILLIONS of Libyans protesting AGAINST NATO invasion and FOR Gaddafi.

Benghazi Attack. Libya’s Green Resistance Did It… And NATO Powers Are Covering Up
US Ambassador’s Killing Had Nothing to Do With Al Qaeda, Islamist Blowback or Anti-Islamic Video

TODAY, once peaceful and prosperous Libya now stands in ruins and chaos.

The truth is staring you in the face good brother.
 
He has a great point... By this point after Benghazi the cons were insenced that Obama had not yet called it terrorism!

Hey Howie, and Jarod, we knew it was terrorism from the beginning, the rest was a cover up for gun running to al queda operatives trying to overthrow the Syrian Government. Anything else you say is B.S
 
So drones and people in the middle of a chaotic situation can read intent?

I'm not saying that the White House didn't fuck up, I'm just saying that it's your right wing media fueled paranoia that says it was done intentionally.

What would be the motivation to do that?

How about it didn't fit the template from the campaign trail that said they had Al Qaeda on the run. It was a political coverup to keep him from being defeated in the election, for his lack of action to save American lives.

You're quite the apologist....Obama should hire you.

This is simply an attempt to spin it away. It was all about the video. Obama was not calling it terrorism because it was a "reaction to an irresponsible video"...

"Fox News" (and everybody with a brain) was upset that he spent three weeks trying to blame a stupid video rather than calling it what it was, then because he off-hand mentioned terror in some speech tried to cover that turd.

Either way it wasn't about "lack of information" it was about directly spouting misinformation as well as an incapacity for simply stating what it was, all of it was linked to the same spurious claim that the frickin' video had something to do with it.

No spin. You're the one trying to mischaracterize history; this is something you do.

Fox had a headline every day on Benghazi. There was a wide range of complaints outside of blaming the video. Withholding information, not calling it terror right away, ordering forces to stand down (which they didn't - and that was a big font headline, btw), etc.

To try to say that all righties cared about was blaming the video is pathetic.
 
I love how upset Fox News and others were about this, when the same people were silent about the four thousand plus deaths in Iraq.

Yes, you are spinning, you'd think you were paid to come up with some excuses. The video was, on a whole, the reason that "Fox" had a headline every day on Benghazi. Almost all of the "wide range" of complaints are directly linked to the attempt to mischaracterize the reason for the attack.

Withholding information - based on the attempt to get people to regard it as a "reaction to an irresponsible video"...
Not calling it terror - based on the attempt to regard it as a "reaction to an irresponsible video"...
Ordering forces to stand down - This is one of the few that isn't directly related to the video, but was important.

Basically, the vast majority of the complaints all had a direct link to the attempt at misinformation, the attempt to blame the stupid video.

That's ludicrous. Fox's stories about the above topics did not center around or even mention the video. That is YOUR spin.

Can you hear yourself? I suspect not. You went over to the dark side long ago.

And I just did a search on Benghazi under your name - not a heck of a lot about the video, Damo, but plenty of other incriminations. I bumped one; I can bump another dozen if you're feeling masochistic.
 
Bush's Mistake or lie that lead to the death of 4,500 innocent Americans... no hearings.
Obama's Mistake or lie after the death of 4 innocent Americans... Screaming and demands for hearings.


FOX NEWS CROWD!
