White House scrambles to contain Benghazi-gate fallout

The White House scrambled Friday to explain newly released email excerpts that show a top State Department official pushing to water down the intelligence community's initial story-line on the Benghazi attack, as Republicans sharply challenged the administration's honesty.

With new details emerging in the Benghazi-gate controversy, the White House held a background discussion with more than a dozen news organizations. Afterward, Press Secretary Jay Carney weathered a barrage of questions from the media during an at-times awkward White House briefing -- where he tried to defend the truthfulness of his and other officials' prior claims that the initial talking points on the attack reflected the best intelligence assessment of the time.

I guess FoxNews has adopted the term Benghazi-gate.

Though this is not new, it appears that this term will stick since the leading news organization in the US has decided to run with it...

Sad, isn’t it? Fox has to search FR for vocabulary words.

It’s tough when your native environment is 14% Arabic.

The bad news is: apparently something is going to happen with the arms-running Benghazi is/was all about.

No other reason for the WH to stop digging the hole and looking for a way out. It’s not like anybody in the admin cares about their reputations, or souls, for that matter.

That, or Jarrett has been knocked off the chess board and gravity is doing its thing.

I thought we agreed on another thread today to replace the “gate” suffix with “ghazi”?! So it’s Benghazighazi from now on!

It seems to have traction.

10% of the Obama voters; those with some intellect at least are seeing some cognitive dissonance...

MSM has to lead or nothing doing. Then, we’d need a John Dean type insider traitor. The Negro lawyeresses around Obamugabe Jarrett, Mills. Rice, ain’t likely to do it.

Long after the tragedy at Benghazi, and well-armed with the facts, we heard:

"What difference does it make?"

It's the characterization that preceded the infamous exclamation that should have everyone enraged:

"Was it because of a protest? Or was it because of guys out for a walk one night and decided they would go kill some Americans?"

Was it determined that on 9-11-01 a few frequent flyers spontaneously decided to kill 3000 people?

I heard Geraldo use it last fall on Fox, not long after it happened. He made a deal out of the phrase, as if no one else would have thought of it.

Jay Carney was twisting around like rusty old barbed wire wrapped around the rear axle...

The more he drove -- the worse it tangled...
When he tried to stop and get the wire-cutters...
It bit him.... pretty good one too....

May I be the first to anticipate his impending resignation...
...rats/sinking ship.... etc...

This is Fox's term. Are you referring to a real thread?

I put both keywords in this thread: benghazi and benghazigate

Freerepublic has a standard for some things: banglist for guns, prolife for abortion, prolife, euthanasia, etc...

Maybe as Freerepublic has a Copyright keyword for how to post, maybe there should be a keywords thread for the keywords to use...
