Lara Logan Apologizes for ’60 Minutes’ Benghazi Report: ‘We Were Wrong’

The Blaze ^ | Nov. 8, 2013 | Madeleine Morgenstern

[TomGuy]

Logan said. “That was the moment for us that we realized that we no longer had confidence in our source

I felt similar long before Dan Rather and his Kinko's faux fax machine document.

[Fresh Wind]

Somebody got a phone call from Washington.

[gaijin]

Did the 60 min center fuel tank almost spontaneously essplode? Maybe one of their colleagues had a mishap driving to LAX at 1 am? The BATF received reports their stupios housed some dastardly POTATO GUNS...?

Eh....SURE their initial reports were wrong...!

SUUUUURE.....!

[TomGuy]

Causes me to wonder whether CBS intentionally conducted the flawed interview then so they could disclaim it now.

[I don’t trust the broadcast media any more than I trust Team Obama.]

Here we see Hillary's evil hand----she has a lot of sway w/ 60 Minutes----they better not queer the message she wants out there for 2016.

=============================================

MILITARY.COM reported during the Morsi crisis, that US Pentagon officials declined to give specifics on conversations between DOD's Chuck Hagel and Egyptian Gen al-Sisi....

Although the officials would not discuss the specifics of the military- to-military talks, the U.S. would need Gen al-Sisi's approval to move through Egyptian air space if Washington decided to send Marines to aid in the evacuation of U.S. personnel.

READY TO GO About 550 Marines and their tilt-rotor MV-22 Osprey aircraft are at bases in Spain and Italy on standby if they are needed. A Navy Amphibious Ready Group with 4,000 Marines and sailors aboard, led by the helicopter assault ship Kearsarge, was also in the region following completion of the Eager Lion training exercises in Jordan. © Copyright 2013 Military.com.

=============================================

AIN'T KARMA A *ITCH, HILLARY? the US helicopter assault ship Kearsarge, WAS in the region, ready to airlift Benghazi personnel to safety. Americans were lied to----we were told Kearsarge was not available to help endangered Americans in Benghazi.

====================================================

OBAMA HILLARY LOVE FEST ON 60 MINUTES---Obobo had
just hustled her onto TV to gaze in adoration, after her arrogant
dismissal of the Benghazi massacre before Congress.

[Wolfie]

Their star witness told two different stories. When you have to wonder which one is a lie (because one of them surely is), then the story falls apart. It’s a little too intellectually consistent for some, I know.

[Jane Long]

Yep. More scrubbing for Hillary! 2016.

[Oberon]

Did SeeBS News ever come clean and declare that the Bush National Guard memos were forgeries and identify WHO created them?

To this day, I am not aware that either the network or Dan Rather have ever owned up to the fact that these documents were forged.

And they were. As a career technical writer with experience in page layout and copy editing, I can tell you for sure that the evidence is damning...they were caught red-handed.

I have to wonder if Rather and the network just weren't tech-savvy enough to understand how incontrovertibly they'd been busted.

[US_MilitaryRules]

They forgot to cross a “t” and dot an “i”!

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Isn’t this the 60 minutes where Steve Kroft interviewed Obama and Hillary together, and instead of asking them questions about Benghazi decided to throw some really tough questions their way like “Do you guys like each other?” “Are you good friends?” “What do you admire in each other?”

[a fool in paradise]

AP was similarly implicated in the scandal but skated away without a damaged reputation. Dan Rather jumped the gun on airing the documents to beat AP to the punch. NEITHER acknowledged the controversy regarding authenticity for several days (the questions began DAY ONE).

[a fool in paradise]

If you like your Benghazi report, you can keep your Benghazi report.

[pacobell]

CBS - Clintons biggest strap-on

[gaijin]

Exactly! This orchestrated “retraction” is designed to deter the other 30 survivors in case any of them get ideas about “going all noble on VJ’s azz”.

Its to shut them up and keep them afraid.

If they NDA’d them and legally CHANGED THEIR NAMES and moved them around the globe, why would VJ also not do THIS..?

Well of COURSE they would.

[txhurl]

The ironic thing is Lara was the one raped by a gang of Muslims a few years back reporting in the field.

[SoFloFreeper]

Me too.

[exit82]

Really, Lara?

At this point, what difference does it make?

This is spin to set the battlefield before the survivors tell their story to Congress.

This is all being done to obsfucate, confuse, and discredit information about what happened that night.

I’ll listen to Lara Logan when she comes clean about what really happened to her in Tarir Square and what CBS did to squelch that information to project Soetoro at her expense.

The real question is: exactly what was President Obama doing the night of Sept. 12, 2013 at the White House while this attack was occurring?

Lara, let me know when 60 Minutes intends to air a show about that.

LET'S STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE In 2009, Obama made a "Smart Power" suck-up speech in Cairo----"apologizing" for America's historical role in the Middle East. By snubbing Mubarak, Obama set the stage for the Egyptian president's overthrow by the Islamic mob.

When the worst-case scenario happened, when Obama's personal choice---Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Morsi, was elected president----Obama sap-happily sent his secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, to Cairo to personally kiss-up to Morsi---perhaps at that time hatching their plans to destroy Westen civiliation in compliance w/ Muslim dictates.

Obama's treacherous ill-advised component of US foreign policy----sucking up to the very people who want to kill us and destroy our churches. He portrayed teeming Muslim majorities there as "victims of Western colonialism and Cold War policies," stupidly promoting American-style democracy for these conflicting cultures w/ thousands of years of religious and territorial factionalism.

OBOBO'S SUCKUP "The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of coexistence and cooperation, but also conflict and religious wars," Obama said in the June 2009 speech in Cairo. "More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies, without regard to their own aspirations."

Fast froward to 2013: the savage Muslim Brotherhood torched some 63 Egyptian churches and many Christian businesses. Obama ignored the bloodbath and spent the crisis dining out, golfing, power-partying, and vacationing in exclusive Martha’s Vineyard on the taxpayers' dime.

================================================

THE CLINTONS IN-HOUSE MUSLIM TERRORIST the Clintons tax-exempt foundation employed a Muslim Brotherhood activist.

Gehad el-Haddad
(The stupid Clintons did not know Gehad was Farsi for "jihad")

A senior Muslim Brotherhood official employed by the William J. Clinton Foundation was arrested in Cairo, charged with inciting violence. Gehad el-Haddad served as one of the Muslim Brotherhood’s top communications officials; he was a top Brotherhood official and adviser to Barack Obama's hand-picked Egyptian candidate, Morsi (now deposed).

Gehad el-Haddad served for five years as a top official at the Clinton Foundation, a tax-exempt do-good foundation founded by former President Bill Clinton. El-Haddad pushed the Muslim Brotherhood’s Islamist agenda in the foreign press, where he was often quoted defending the Brotherhood’s crackdown on civil liberties in Egypt.

Gehad became the public face of the Islamist terrorist organization soon after leaving his post at the Clinton Foundation.

Much of Gehad's official terroristic-type work with the Muslim Brotherhood took place while he was still claiming to be employed by the Clinton Foundation.

==========================================

IMHO, the global tipping point occurred when Egyptian General al-Sisi refused to take vacaying Obaba's call from MV. It affirmed Gen al-Sisi's determination not to let Obaba interfere with his plan to drive the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyptian politics.

Al Sisi's got the lay of the land---he knows who's got the ear of our Muslim president.

NOTE Superpowers Russia and China both backed al-Sisi and the Saudis jet-streamed al-Sisi millions to finish the job of disemboweling the Brotherhood. The Egyptian military vowed to rebuild the 63 churches torched by the marauding Egyptian Muslims.

And that, dear reader, is when Obama cutoff aid to the Egyptian military........thanks to Hillary.

[ScubieNuc]

And, of course, the FBI, a Federal agency, couldn’t be forced to create a fake document. /sarcasm

I believe that either CBS was set up intentionally to attempt to shut anyone up over Bengazi, or that a document was created to try to discredit the CBS report. Either way, Obama has lied and people died because of it. Obama, Hillary and anyone else who pushed this tragedy should be punished.

[blueunicorn6]

This is more baloney from 60 minutes. It’s too early in the game for them to be apologizing. They haven’t had enough time to thoroughly check out anything. It took them a year to run this story and only a couple of days to apologize? BS. The proper answer would have been, “We are checking into this.” The money from the Democrat party must have come through. We have the best news people the Democrats can buy. What a pathetic joke these people are.
