GOP congressman blasts NY Times Benghazi claims as ‘misleading’
Fox News ^ | December 28, 2013 | Fox

Posted on 12/28/2013 3:37:17 PM PST by xzins

A top congressional Republican is saying a new report that concludes Al Qaeda did not carry out the 2012 attack on the U.S diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, is “misleading.”

The new report published Saturday in the New York Times concludes that there was no evidence that Al Qaeda or other international terrorist groups had any role in the assault that took place on September 11, 2012, and that it appeared that the attack was fueled in large part by anger at an American-made anti-Islamic video, as the Obama administration first claimed.

New York Rep. Peter King, member and former chairman of the House’s Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, told Fox News the argument that the most overtly anti-Western militia, Ansar al-Shariah – not Al Qaeda – led the attack in an academic argument over semantics, considering Ansar al-Shariah is widely believed to be an affiliate terror group of Al Qaeda.

This is a GREAT LINK.

I worry it’s too complex and not spelled out enough for the Low Infos.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'd never heard of that.

People. (Not you, xsins). Go to the NYT and read the comments.

Most think this is an excellent, amazing article with wonderful deeply researched reporting.

Many report that they are glad to finally know the truth.

HOW WILL WE EVER BE ABLE TO FIGHT THIS?

Good strategy and good thread post, xzins. That NYT piece is quite a propaganda screed. I thought the video claims had been discredited. Seeing it resurrected was a surprise, but not a shock. The “Hitlery Is Ready” groundwork is being laid for 2016.

The liberals have operatives who monitor newspaper websites to disagree with anything contrary to their liberal spin. This is not a conspiracy moment I’m having; this is how well organized Obama was in each campaign.

Conservatives have to get to the same level of organization.

Some conservatives should post the real truth on the NYT comments section for their Benghazi article with links to the accurate information.

The party faithful read the American Pravda. They feel that their economic well-being is dependent on the success of the Democrat party. Hard to change their minds. Reality eventually destroyed the Soviet Union. Reality will destroy the Democrat party. What are they going to say to the retired city employees of Detroit who are going to get hit with an 80% reduction in their retired pay? They loyally voted and financed the Democrat party and now the bill has come due. Unemployment ran out for a million people. The food stamp bonus was stopped. Look at Obamacare. I grew up in a strong Democrat family, but reality made me a conservative. Reality is a strong tonic.

I hear you, but King needs to stop spitting on the tea party. His fight with Cruz is infuriating. I assume he assumes his constituency doesn’t care, and as for his ambitions past his present office, neither does he.

Need to see the Fox transcript of the King interview. I suspect that this is Peter King misdirection.

The article makes no mention of King disagreeing with the NY Times about the Hillary lie that the "video made them do it".

King has always been allied with the Clintons and I think he's been covering for the Hillary lie since the beginning.

Petraeus' credibility has been trashed probably by the Clintons. Nobody else will dare step forward.

So the video lie returns.

On the VERY topmost position of the list, is the New York Times.

They are first.

Wow - just wow. They’ve come full circle back to the video. The low intellect of the ideologically brainwashed masses coupled with some temporal distance provides a venue in which outright lies of the state can be passed off as the facts. It’s tough for any right minded individual to digest the absurd day after day - the past five years have been an unrelenting assault on free thinkers. Truly, we are living in Orwellian times.

When I am a big TV producer, I must make The World’s Funniest Anti-Islam Videos show. Of course, I have no interest in becoming a big TV producer, or even a small one, but if any are out there, please consider the idea. You win an extra prize if the Muslims riot or issue a fatwa against you, your very own bodyguard and sidearm, plus a new identity.

Top of the toilet bowl, waiting to be flushed.

He’s certainly in the running for “biggest loudmouth ass****”, which is no mean feat in the US Congress.

Clinton and Jimmuh are every bit as anti-American as Obama.
