New York Times Sets Benghazi Record Straight

New York Times Sets Benghazi Record Straight

NEWS FLASH! 12/29/2013 Contrary to what had previously been reported, The New York Times has uncovered startling new evidence that the September 11, 2012 attacks on the U.S. compound in Libya that claimed the lives of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three others was not the result of a carefully planned terrorist attack, but was instead a "spontaneous reaction" to an obscure YouTube video.

This shocking new development came to light after months of careful research by Time's reporters who were suspicious of initial reports by the Interim President of Lybia, Mohammed Magarief, that the deaths of the four Americans was a preplanned attack by jihadi foreigners. Magarief had said at the time that "foreigners infiltrated Libya over the past few months and planned the attack that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans."

“The idea that this criminal and cowardly act was a spontaneous protest that just spun out of control is completely unfounded and preposterous,” Magarief told NPR in Benghazi back then. “We firmly believe that this was a pre-calculated, pre-planned attack that was carried out specifically to attack the U.S. Consulate. “The intention was there from the beginning, for it to take this ugly barbaric, criminal form,”

Magarief doubled down in an interview with CBS's Face the Nation a few hours later. He told CBS that about 50 people have been arrested in conjunction with the attack on the U.S. consulate, which he said was “definitely planned by foreigners” who entered Libya several months ago and immediately started plotting the assault. He said “a few” of the perpetrators were from Mali and Algeria while others were Libyan “affiliates” and “sympathizers.” “These ugly deeds, criminal deeds … do not represent in any way, in any sense, the aspirations and feelings of Libya toward the United States and its citizens.” “The way these perpetrators acted and moved and their choosing the specific date [of Sept. 11] for this so-called demonstration, I think this leaves us with no doubt that this was pre-planned, pre-determined.” The Hill, September 16, 2012, 04:20 pm

When Susan Rice was asked to comment on these new developments, she reportedly said "Oh, but anyway, Toto, we're home! Home! And this is my room - and you're all here! And I'm not going to leave here ever, ever again, because I love you all! And - Oh, Auntie Em, there's no place like home!"

In an unrelated story, in what is surely to be a find of historical proportion, the New York Times has uncovered hitherto unknown evidence that shows that the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that propelled the nation into World War II was in fact the result of a spontaneous demonstration by the Japanese military in response to a film mocking Shintoism.

Well, we can finally put those silly rumors about a preplanned terrorist attack to rest now, along with those phoney IRS and gun running scandals that have plagued "the most transparent administration" in history.

This would seem to pave the way now for Hillary's expected 2016 Presidential run to go unchallenged. Que Sera Sera

The executives at the NYT should be (at the very least) thrown in jail for fraud. They more than likely deserve to be tried for treason.

This story will be used to teach our children about the dangers of subversive communist propaganda in our soon to be restored republic.

"President of Lybia"

Please. Where is Lybia? I can't seem to find it on a map.
If this is not satire, it's just sick.

Pretty sure it just is an attempt at satire, but I would rather that they just come right out and call out aka obama, Jarrett and Hillary for high treason.

The NYT isn’t just trying to protect Hillary, Obama, et al, but also trying to protect themselves.

Our left wing news media, being led by the paper of record, has been orchestrating news stories prior to the terrorist attacks as far back as 1993’s 1st WTC bombing.

The “spontaneous” lie, and it’s several versions, are intended to make people believe the terrorist are so in tune with the news the terrorist are simply picking up on the news and planning an attack around the news, not that the news is being orchestrated for the attacks.

They'll be releasing that shortly after the report on the IRS targeting conservatives for political reasons... (oh, and don't hold your breath...)

From now on, when I say someone is lying, I will use the more obvious descriptor: NewYorkTimes-ing.

Example: "Barack Obama, when he told us we could keep our health care plans, was clearly telling a baldfaced NewYorkTimes."
