White House doesn't dispute report finding no al Qaeda role in Benghazi attack
NBC News ^ | 12/28/13 | Kristen Welker, Becky Bratu

A senior Obama administration official said the White House does not dispute a New York Times article published Saturday about the 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which found no evidence al Qaeda was involved.

**SNIP**

The newspaper said its investigation took months and was "centered on extensive interviews with Libyans in Benghazi who had direct knowledge of the attack there and its context."

It is not surprising the White House would welcome this report. Since the attack, Republicans have accused the Obama administration of downplaying the perpetrators' links to al Qaeda for political gain. The attack took place during the last leg of the 2012 presidential campaign.

NBC News has not independently verified the Times report, which is the first to argue the video played a large role in sparking the violence in Benghazi.

Why not? While you're at it, find out who gave the 'stand down' order.

We will never know the truth about this—and no one will ever be charged, convicted or prosecuted.

I guess we are used to gummit cover-ups by now...............

I grieve for this once great land.

Soon we will be hearing the new tag line “It is time we have a women for president” much like “it is time we have a black man for president” When you hear the on the street question “how do you feel about Bengahzi”? and the reply from the majority is “I don’t know the guy” you can see she will be a shoo in.

Undocumented Moslem White House (by Pelosi’s perjury
and the Congress’ whoring docility) does not
dispute the false rumor which Obama/Clinton fabricated
and then put out to the MSM.

Why should the White House complain about the New York Times report?

They probably wrote it.

This is the White-Wash Hillary Campaign, which will treat us to serial lying to get that witch into office in 2016.

We can only pray for God’s mercy in preventing this curse.

Speaking to the utter incompetence of this administration is that we still don’t have a full report a year and 3 months later.

Note that Kirkpatrick’s narrative is from some Muslim recollections and assertions well after the incident. Typical tool for those without facts but with a desire to deflect attention elsewhere.

How about whether it was pre-planned or in response to the video? Does the WH dispute that?

Who cares which terrorist group they had ties to?

“The six-part report goes on to say that an American-made video mocking Islam largely triggered the attack, which was not well-planned.”

They’re still pushing the video BS.
