The question keeps being asked, "Where did the claim come from that the Youtube video was responsible for the attack in Benghazi?"
The total lack of references to the video in the raw intelligence reports and even the CYA email chain indicates that it was a late construction in the story.
But why would it be put out and why so prominently? I truly believe the answer is self-evident. Benghazi is a three part scandal: 1. Incompetent handling of security warnings and concerns prior to the attack. Warnings were ignored and no response plan was in place. 2. Criminal negligence in the response during the attack. Not only was no action taken, but no action was even contemplated. They waited 7 hrs for help, but had they survived 12, 18, or even 24 hours, no help would have arrived, because the entire process had been shut down as a “no go” quite early on. They were simply left to die. 3. Cover-up of #1 and #2.
Obama/Clinton needed something to explain their massive failings concerning #1. They needed an unexpected, unpredictable catalyst for the attack. Something that would divert attention from the truth. In the world of Muslim Rage, there is always some trivial event that is the latest outrage, and given nonsensical and violent responses to cartoons, most anything is believable.
Before the bodies were even cold, the story tellers went to work, “We need something to pin a sudden unpredictable attack on, what are those crazy SOBs mad at now? ”. Someone in the room knew about the video and floated it. As a canard it was almost perfect, no one had heard about it, and who wouldn’t believe Muslims would kill over it. After it was seized on, it was hard sold, over sold, by the administration, something that Freepers picked up on immediately. As the video was unknown, Obama felt he had to explain it in simple terms to the press (projecting his own intelligence) and then direct them to the proper narrative, “Crazy Muslims gone wild about video.” He made the mistake of over selling it. Hillary was even hard selling the families at Dover on it. Very heavy handed.
The video was the deflection for all of the standard “why” questions, and 95% of the media ran with it, no questions asked. But now that part 3 of the scandal is being investigated, the video is being revealed as a magical creation that came out of nowhere, with no trail, not even a reference in the intelligence.
The vacuum created by the video’s origin is now the gateway back to part 1 of the scandal. Why were the clear warnings of a predicted attack ignored?
A question that reporters need to ask Jay Carnage.
Actually, in all this time, no talk shows, statements, from outraged attorneys? How about a shocked, saddened family member? After all, this one man was blamed by the US government for causing the death of an American ambassador and three others. He sparked riots all over the Middle East...not a peep...it’s almost as if he doesn’t exist.
The survivors don’t exist either. 37 people who just teleported to another universe.
Only the final one was forwarded, by persons unknown, to Sheikh Khalid Abdullah the cleric in Cairo who aired it on TV. Nakoula, the maker of the original film, was not the one who uploaded the final version, Innocence of Muslims, to the internet.
You can hear some interesting things about the timeline of all these iterations of "the movie" in the Youtube video linked below. Start at 9:30 and watch to 16:00 for the meat of that.
Hmm... still in the pocket of the admin.
Not enough porn for them on youtube.
Java4Jay~:” Go back earlier in the day when the embassy in Cairo Egypt was attacked. The walls were breached and our flag was torn down. Embassy personnel sent out tweets apologizing for ‘the video’ at some point either before or during the attack. This whole thing about ‘The Video’ was staged long before.”
True that !
As I recall , the State dept. told the American embassey in Egypt to retract and stop the apology for the video.
The American embassey in Egypt replied that they had already issued the apology through the Egyptian media.
Then the Benghazi terrorist attack happened.
Then the State Dept. stated that they had almost ‘real time’ observation of the situation ( while we Freepers saw it for ourselves)
Then later, the State Dept. played out the video excuse
Then the State Dept. spend $70,000 on an apology commercial by Hillary and Obama addressed to Pakistan muslims
Then the Video apology was played to everyone , including the US population.
So yes , it was an already prepared situation (prior to the Benghazi attack)
Why ? .. and when prepared ?
.. and prepared in advance by whom ?
