These emails were not about Benghazi.... Wow.
So, we now have the official story. The formerly redacted emails released yesterday were not about Benghazi. They were never intended to shed light on the consulate attack. They were simply about "the broader situation in the middle east."
We learned this yesterday, when ABC News' Jon Karl went to war with Press Secretary Jay Carney.
Keep in mind, that's an ABC News reporter. Like Ron Fournier before him, leftist progs can't label him a right wing hack, and they can't start yapping about FOX News. Every network news outlet was lied to, repeatedly, and in turn they did everything they could to sell the lie to the American people. That in itself is not enough to make them angry. For the most part, that's what they're paid to do.
However, now that the administration's been caught red-handed, the press looks like a gaggle of idiots - or worse - co-conspirators. That will affect their bottom line, and that gets them steamed.

Yea, its an ABC reporter, but did ABC actually include it in their coverage and to what extent?
The partisan leftist media is still in bed with Obama.

Limbaugh is talking about it now.
My opinion.
The commander in chief allowed Americans to be murdered by bearded savages so as not to annoy the bearded savages. It’s obvious where his heart lies, and it’s not with Americans.
I actually don’t think that rat Carney was ‘on his heels.’
You have to realize this devil, along with the rest of that evil cabal have had damned near two years to come up with a plausible excuse about these email revelations. You could see it with the quick and near flawless explanations he had about sticking with the lie and trying to confuse the specific Benghazi attacks and warnings ‘around the region’. He rattled off locations and warnings like he’d been brainwashed in basic training to remember his serial number. Too quick, too flawless for a spontaneous answer, period.
Couple this determination with the absolute refusal to even deign to answer anything with respect to the former deputy CIA director remarking that it wasn’t ‘his’ briefing (ala Amb Rice’s TV Sunday Kabuki make believe plays), and you have the standard information embargo - they won’t EVER give up the truth.
He even had multiple locations/warnings and cautions from several locations in the State Department realm encompassing ‘the Muslim world’..
It is all a bullshit put up, carefully parsed, deceptively displaced argument that tries to move the discussion out of Benghazi proper and into that nebulous ‘muslim neighborhood’.
What has to be seen from here on out is whether the collective media will accept Carney’s performance as the truth, or if they will continue with Jon Karl’s disbelief and demand for the truth. My guess is that they will not go further.
In the aftermath, I don’t expect that we’ll ever see Jon Karl in the White House Press Briefing Room any more.
Regardless, I’ll give Jon Karl credit for having at least the disbelief and insistence in his rebuttals and trying to get an answer on point, but in the end Carney did his rote memorization and stayed on-script.
Straying from topic a bit...
Interesting that the democrats or at least the WH have hijacked Cain’s successful -9-9-9- marketing message with their own 10-10-10 version?
10 year promise zones (Obama)
Empowerment zones (Cain)
Then there’s the 10.10 minimum wage push— there’s more but can’t think of all of it at the moment.
Interesting catch.
Don’t forget the timing, very close to the 2012 presidential election. Such a scandal so close to election day could’ve profoundly depressed the dimmo vote. They engaged in brazen Newspeak and their media lapdogs enabled it.
The dims lied?? Who would ever thought? < /sarc>
I watched part of that press conference and almost felt sorry for old jay. ALMOST.
Top Intel Chief Testifies: We Should Have Sent Help For Americans in Benghazi

Testifying in front of a House Oversight Committee hearing Thursday on Capitol Hill, retired Air Force Brigadier General Robert Lovell said the military should have and could have done more to help Americans who were killed in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. Lovell is the former deputy director for intelligence at Africa Command. His testimony today is the first testimony from a member of the military who was at Africa Command during the time of the Benghazi attack on the U.S consulate. [Bolding is mine]
Many with firsthand knowledge have recounted the heroism displayed by the brave Americans in Benghazi that night. They fought the way they trained. That is in the record. Outside of Libya there were discussions that churned on about what we should do. These elements also fought the way they were trained. Specifically, the predisposition to interagency influence had the military structurein the spirit of expeditionary government supportwaiting for a request for assistance from the State Department. There are accounts of time, space and capability discussions of the question, could we have gotten there in time to make a difference. Well, the discussion is not in the could or could not in relation to time, space and capabilitythe point is we should have tried. As another saying goes: Always move to the sound of the guns, Lovell said. It is with a sense of duty as a retired General officer that I respectfully submit these thoughts and perspectives.
Lovell also confirmed again that the 9/11 Benghazi attack was not a result of a demonstration but instead was a well planned out assault and said the situation of holding back help made the military feel “desperate.”
“The military should have made a response of some sort,” he said.
Further, Lovell said people on the ground that night knew it was an attack from al Qaeda almost immediately.
