So it would seem since this came from the State Dept.
"The State Department news conference made very clear it had never been the State Department’s position, I repeat, never been the State Department’s position that in fact this assault was part of a reaction to a video or the like. This has been corroborated by numerous witnesses and whistleblowers."
The first liar never had a chance.
Now what's Hillbilly's excuse?
She is in charge of the State Dept.
She was the first one* to apologize for the "video."
I can't see how either one wiggles out of this.
* The Cairo embassy was technically the first one to apologize for the "video" in tweets on 9/11/12. But they are under the Sec. State's command and Hillbilly herself used their Twitter account to tweet the last apology of the day. I would hold her entirely responsible under those circumstances for every tweet from the Cairo embassy. There was some reason, albeit weak, for blaming the "video" for the mob in Cairo. A local cleric aired it on TV about two days before. So, the question becomes "who was the first one to cover the attack in Benghazi with that blanket excuse?" Hillary? 0bama? Or Ambassador Kennedy's favorite anonymous scapegoat; the 'intelligence community.'
It was patently ridiculous, and at odds with intelligence even reporters had at the time, to even blame the protests in Cairo on that stupid video.
It’s a mystery to me why Hillary signed on to the video protest scenario from the get go if the State Dept. position, as revealed by the news conference, was never that the assault was a result of the video.
It makes Hillary look either deceptive or incompetent. (I think she’s both, but she wouldn’t want to be so obvious about it).
Was there a reason, not yet known, why she would conspire with the WH to deceive? If so, did they think that nothing would come of it until after the election?
Obama and Hillary had a meeting the other day, it was reported. I didn’t see a follow up on what was discussed. If a deal or truce was struck, Biden went off the reservation in the debate last night.
I wonder when those involved in the intel are going to stick their necks out?
Cool, thanks.
