They still argue and sit there and do not go after the terrorists because it helps the government to look qualified when these nincompoops have no clue what to do.

Obama expects the State Department to protect him and vice versa, and it will not happen, because it is like PUBLIC SCHOOLS! The teacher is all too happy not to have to show ability to students who do not want to study in the first place. So it is a big perv party on the back of taxpayers

It looks like this was the plan all along — Patreaus was sent over to CIA to do a job, the script was written, the actors chosen, the stage set and mission accomplished. The only problem is — what's the real story here. I think I know.

They are playing word games. Intelligence community put together info for the WH. They call WH and tell them what they have and the WH instructs them to change the narrative. The intelligence community rewrite the narrative and submit. The WH didn’t edit or rewrite anything, right? with dems it takes forever and sometimes never to get to the bottom of anything because they are masters of deception

Hillary has dropped off the face of the earth which shows guilt in my opinion. Maybe BO told Rice if she would go out and lie for him, then she could be Sec of State and it’s not quite working out the way he envisioned-like everything else.

I disagree - the fact that there was a cover story and talking points is minor.

The real story is that Obama failed to properly protect the Americans in Benghazi.

That's true. But exposing the person who pushed the cover story will ultimately lead us to Obama. It's obvious that he gave the order to hide the role of Al Qaida. If that can be established, we will then have partially established his motivation for failing to defend the ambassador. This terrorist act was an embarrassment to his Libyan "velvet" revolution strategy.

President “Not-my-fault” blames the dog for eating his homework again.

I’m reminded of the quote by President Lincoln, “No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar”.

Who is the Ding Dong who thought the terrorists wouldn’t know we were on to them if we pretended some video no one had ever seen was the reason terrorists attacked and killed an unguarded US ambassador?

And why on Earth would these morons try to incite more violence and terrorism by blaming a video that very few people even saw ? These people simply cannot be trusted to protect us. Expect massive terrorist attacks within the US when Israel attacks Iran.

They just took out the words: “terrorist”, “al Queda” and “planned attack”.

Now why don’t you little racists shut your ugly faces and go pay your taxes? Your government is broke. :)

This whole thing is crazy. Here's is the ONE question I want answered:

How did Obama have a ready-made excuse in his back pocket (blaming a totally obscure video (trailer by the way!) ) the moment this happened.

Probably done by the same person who came up with the “talking points” Monica Lewinsky gave to Linda Tripp.

LOL! Excellent! On top of that, they have to lie on about five different points here, so heads must be spinning at the WH right about now.

I want to see them start rolling, personally. Starting with the one at the top.
