The State Department can’t identify Core al Qaeda members because they all signed up for Core Obamacare and the website has been down for routine maintenance.

It can't be core al quada because obama has them on the run. It's those other guys who are committing all these murders all over the world.

The Five discussed this last night. This was found on binladens computer-—that he was “rebranding” AQ and , indeed, this was still AQ that was responsible for Benghazi.

The entire Al Qaeda concept was to train decentralized cells to act independently of any “core”. The State Department “spokesperson” cannot possibly be ignorant of this. So she is using her position to spread propaganda for partisan political purposes. The nation is in grave danger when we have political hacks manipulating foreign policy. She and her ilk are unacceptable.

“core al Qaeda”

They discussed this on the FNC panel last night. This is the left trying to weasel out of the NY Times no al Qaeda claim. Kristin made the point that it's a moot point anyways. The initial You Tube video claim is what was a lie.

This just in...
On further examination it has been learned that the military installations at Pearl Harbor were not attacked by the core of the Japanese military.

It’s a great message, but it would need a picture IMO - Low info voters might not have the first clue who “Rodham” refers to.

I thought Al Qaeda had a common core.

It ranks up there with “White Hispanic”!

They just jack with the language to help themselves politically.

By the way - who is core Al Qaeda? Do we have a list of names on their official website? What self-serving nonsense.

I like how the administration gives tidbits of info on Benghazi to serve their political purposes, and refuses to address their incredible stonewalling on the vital information. Where is the autopsy on Ambassador Stevens? What was the President doing while we were being attacked? Where were the US forces? Why and who ordered them to stand down? Who came up with the Video story. Why was the Video story then denied and why is it coming back? Why was it said since there was not enough time to save them, the military would not be sent - where is that irresponsible regulation written? Why is the State Department now contradicting themselves?

Even wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Benghazi_attack)says no to the video:
“At various times between September 11 and 17, eight other diplomatic missions in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe were subject to protests and violent attacks in response to an inflammatory video, Innocence of Muslims. Initially, it was suggested that the Benghazi attack emerged from a similar spontaneous protest. Subsequent investigations by the U.S. State Department and by the House of Representatives committees on Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, Intelligence, the Judiciary, and Oversight and Government Reform determined that there was no such protest and that the attack was premeditated and launched by Islamist militants.”

This illustrates perfectly an administration desperately searching for a narrative.
Every single one of them is a pathological liar.

Sad but oh so true.

The State Dept is not exactly comprised of the sharpest knives in the drawer. What fool would believe anything these marshmallow majors say?

The fact that it was led by one of the demonstrably least accomplished human(?) beings in the multiverse - Hillabeast Grifterton - is ample proof that the institution is a joke.

No one gives a smelly Obama about them any more. Least of all, the real countries out there who are fortunate enough to have real leaders.

Mygosh, I read that title and my inner sicko can’t stop laughing. Is AlQaida selling franchises?

Their is no more a Core Al-Qaeda than there is a Core Tea Party. More media doublespeak.

By the way - who is core Al Qaeda?

And how does one differentiate between the two?

Does Core Al Qaeda sport a different pattern head rag than Non-Core Al Qaeda?

"This is Benghazi Ambassador One. Please send immediate assistance. We are currently undergoing a severe attack
by terrorists who claim to be Al Qaeda. I believe they said they are with the non-core faction."

"Sorry Benghazi Ambassador One. We provide military support only against core Al Qaeda. We do not provide
support against non-core Al Qaeda. The Secretary of State said "Good Luck, You are on your own."

“Core al Qaeda”, and al Qaeda means ‘the base’.

Does this mean Tea Party is ‘core GOP’?

Rove and GOPe et al. would disagree.
