Carney slaps down Fox journalist over Benghazi
The Daily Caller ^ | 6/5/13 | Maggie Lit

President Obama appointed Susan Rice as Chief National Security Adviser on Wednesday, attracting renewed scrutiny to the administration’s handling of the attack on the diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya that resulted in the death of ambassador Chris Stevens and three others.

Fox News’ Senior White House correspondent Ed Henry brought up the scandal and General Petraeus’ conclusions that the assessments of the Intelligence Committee on the issue changed so much and were no longer worth anything.

Press Sectary Jay Carney tried to slap down the comment.

“In every iteration of this, Ambassador Rice made clear as I did that, these were early assessments that were certain to change as we obtained more facts, and to suggest otherwise is just irresponsible,” Carney said.

Rice controversially claimed after September 11 that the attack in Benghazi was motivated by anger over a video titled ‘Innocence of Muslims’ that was critical of Islam. Officials backed off the claim after a short period.

I actually pity Rice.
__________

You’re much nicer than I am.

I don’t pity any of these criminals; I pity my children and their generation who will be trying to support families, raise children, and have decent lives in the despicable mess these greedy, power-hungry people have made.

And if she’s in over her head, she just gets to sleep in the bed she’s made for her own selfish reasons.

Actions have consequences.

State Department:
We monitored Libya attack ‘in almost real time’.

Talking points were being edited by Hillary & approved by Obama even while the attack was underway at the annex, before more lives were lost there.

Nice try, Jay. We have this thing called “tape” these days. You’re about to see some of it.

Problem is, J, everyone in charge knew what the facts of the case were while the event was happening, and only later was a story concocted to cover up the true nature of the event!

Once again, these people lie because that’s what liars do. They just can’t help themselves.

And yes, once again, Carney proves Issa right: Carney is a paid liar.

no pity for any in this Administration. They KNOW EXACTLY what they are doing and they will ‘rub it in our faces’ any chance they get. Not sure who the top puppet master is but this group manipulates at every turn and, sadly, many Americans and most of the media is taken in by the devious and disingenuous behavior. God help America.

As I learned of this exchange, across my mind ran the thought back to the state of the union and the profoundly prescient congressional heckle....... “you lie!”

You know, she’s kinda pretty. But her face is filled with so much rage that it’s hard to see any deeper.
