Although islamists used the video as a pretext to protest against the US on 911 across the ME, the WH and the State dept took advantage of the “video” incident to buy more time so they can get their story straight on the attack on the consulate once it became clear that something terribly went wrong <

Let's not give the video story a shred of credibility. It doesn't deserve it.

Recall that the Cairo mob was chanting "Obama, we are all Osamas now!" when they assaulted the Cairo embassy. They said zilch about the video.

Indeed, the only mentions of the video associated with this event was a.) an e-mail from somebody in the embassy apologizing for the video...two hours before the protest began and b.) the excuses that Barry and Hill gave afterward.

As I recall, the video had racked up 113 viewings on You Tube before Cairo. And, across the Middle East, internet access is between 1-2% of population -- so the Arab Street was blissfully ignorant of "The Innocence of Muslims"

All I am saying is the video was used as a bait and switch to give the admin time to get their lies straight. The video was just a ruse hoping it would carry them over the finish line on Nov 6th. Given the sycophantic media lapping up all Obama does, they confidently believed that they can get away with it. But then somebody died. They believe not getting caught in a lie is like telling the truth. Shit is going to hit the fan. These are impeachable offenses if not treasonous if proven that this admin were cutting deals with jihadists.

Also interesting that the Al Queda flags, US Flag burning, and even a burning of a likeness of Obama, are not shown by the MSM.....

Saw those quickly one day, but they have disappeared
