Is Jake Tapper the only real journalist left in the MSM world?
This incident should cause even supporters of the president to begin to question this administration’s essential honesty.
Yes, the Obama Administration lied. They do that a lot.
“some officials”
Sounds like “nuanced” distancing from the SOS and CIC.
Could this be what the Obama people are trying to hide?
From the accounts (they had time to flee to the safe house), the victims had time to get on a sat-phone and let the State Dept. know they were under attack (especially since the journal of the Ambassador shows they were concerned). If they called, what was the State Dept. response??
Why is no one in the media (even Conservative media) asking:
"President Obama, did the victims or other personnel at the Consulate contact the State Department or other US Government agency after the attack began? And, if so, what was the response?
“Defense Secretary Leon Panetta contradicted the initial story about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, today....”
TODAY ? 16 days after the fact .. !!
Those of us with internet knew the day after the attack from many sources , and photos the next day .
By the third day we had statements by Libyian security officer, an intercept message that security forces were told to stand down, and a statement by the Libyian President
Obozo commented about Romney that he (Obozo) chooses to AIM , and then SHOOT ~ and not shoot first .
A 16 day delay ( after 10 days of lying to the media and the public ) is so totally unexcuseable !
The White House lied to the American public for two weeks about an Al Qaeda terrorist attack on us deliberately conducted on the anniversary of 9/11.
I really hope Romney emphasizes this during the debates...
Hey Jake, if you knew that then, why didn't you report it? Are you in the tank for Obama, or are you simply incompetent?
And yet, even with the exposure of this egregious LIE, Obama continues to cling to his absurd fallacy.
Lying becomes a pathology when the liar actually BELIEVES his own lies and expects others to, even when proven otherwise.
Sounds like Obama shot first and aimed later.
NSS
To think that there would be terrorists who would actually plan an attack on 9/11....
“The White House first suggested the attack was spontaneous”
SO.... the White House spoke ‘stupidly’.
