While Ambassador Chris Stevens was missing on September 11, 2012, and while Tyrone Woods, Sean Smith and Glen Doherty were fighting for their lives, with military assets within a quick flight to provide aid, the Obama White House decided to call…YouTube. A still-classified State Department e-mail says that one of the first responses from the White House to the Benghazi attack was to contact YouTube to warn of the “ramifications” of allowing the posting of an anti-Islamic video, according to Rep. Darrell Issa, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The memo suggests that even as

It seems clearer and clearer they had this video excuse all ready to go if they needed it, and they shot it off at the first sign of PR trouble.

Craven Bastards! May they all burn in Hell!



America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Very classy!

Abandon the young warriors on the rooftops, and the old ones in the hospital wards.

Call YouTube, huh?

Classy.

I despise these people. They had this excuse ready to go before 9/11. If unrest or an attack occurred, blame the video.

I’ll bet half the hits on that video, BEFORE THE ATTACK EVEN OCCURED, were from Washington DC.

Completely disgusting.

I read somewhere that the video had less than 2000 hits before it was pulled.

Something about Bengazi is still gnawing away at me:

The roof SEALs had been using a target designator, right? Doing that boosts risk against the operator —if properly equipped the enemy can see the beam. SEALs know that, so they had to at least to have been led to BELIEVE there was fire-support available or inbound —it’s very dubious they’d wave that thing around for fun in a firefight...

If GayMuzzie’s guys had SOME REASON to want the Bengazi resistance to suddenly stop, then it would be logical for top leadership do what they could to induce the SEALs to disclose their positions —to radio, “OK the zoomies are inbound so paint your targets for them...”

Then the originally planned path for abducting Stevens for subsequent swap would finally be CLEARED (by the muzzie mortar team).

THIS IS JUST A THEORY TO CONSIDER.

Maybe there was *more* than just an election-centric rescue failure.

I have a feeling that the truth, if it ever comes out, is going to be so bald-faced insidious that it will cast Obama and his entire administration in shame as the most inept, corrupt administration to ever occupy the White House.

Men died because Obama is incompetent.

Next calls went out to MSNBC, Pizza Hut Delivery, and the Andres Air Force Base Golf Course.

Something doesn't fit here.

If the attack was made because of the video, why are they attacking the video instead of squelching the violence.

Yeah, there was some lame anti-Muslim video. But so what? Hardly anyone had seen it when the government started blaming it for the Egyptian riots and Benghazi.
