The State Department has said that it never believed the September 11th attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was the result of a protest over an anti-Islam movie - directly contracting the rest of the Obama administration.
By trying to distance her department from the inept and deceptive handling of the Benghazi attack, which left U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other American officials dead, Hillary Clinton could help herself politically for a 2016 presidential run.
A dramatic new account by the State Department reveals that Stevens was locked inside a 'safe room' choking to death from diesel-heavy smoke as the building around him burned to the ground.
Alongside him was a security guard, tasked with the impossible choice between staying in the deadly room - or facing the rocket-propelled grenades and machine-guns outside.
Eventually the guard slipped through the window (cut)
No-one saw the ambassador alive again - another agent tried desperately to enter the safe-room, but could not find him anywhere.
The State Department's insistence it never bought the story - expressed by the White House and Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations - that a crude anti-Islam film made in California triggered the attack gives ammunition against Obama both to the Romney campaign and congressional Republicans.
State Department sources have said that Clinton has never forgotten that Rice, who served in her husband Bill's administration, was an early supporter of Obama. Rice has ambitions to take over from Clinton if Obama is re-elected but the Benghazi debacle could scupper her chances.
In a briefing on Tuesday, State Department officials said 'others' in the executive branch concluded initially that the attack was part of a protest against the film, which ridiculed the Prophet Muhammad. That was never the State Department's conclusion, reporters were told.

Oh no, will Huma get Fosterized?
Well, we do know that if he was taken to the hospital, we would be able to return his body home. I’ve certainly not seen that mentioned.
” - - - Thats why she and Bill are looking for ways to come out of this scandal untouched.”
Thanks for making my point.
Zipper-Boy Clinton and Hilly are two peas in a pod. I doubt that they will beat the Axelrod Machine.
Meanwhile watch as the the Obama’s and the Clinton’s duke it out while both follow the corruption that is the Democrat Party.
Nah, but maybe a Rice puree’ ?
Thank you very much for that link.
So Hillary Clinton went out and lied to support the President. I’m having a deja vu / irony moment here.
Benghazi ping.
then why did she make the video apologizing for the video to air in Pakistan? This whole thing has been bungled from the start. And while the Hussein Regime is totally culpable in the sodomy and murder of a US Diplomat, due to complete and criminal ineptitude, the media needs to to be blamed, too..
Somebody needs to play the video of Hillary citing the video in front of the caskets at Andrews AFB.
>> The guard SLIPPED OUT???? <<
.
To his death.
That guard did not die. He was not one of the SEALs. There is a link on here somewhere with an accounting of what happened.
Oh-Oh,
And I bet these debates remind Hillary of her race with Obama in 2007 and 2008.
A woman scorned...
imagine it.....she’s part of it.
Whatever it takes to kill rats, use it.
Bill Clinton is talking......and it isn’t good for Obama
I agree. The corrupt propaganda media is the biggest story this election.
Pray the daughter doesn’t reproduce. You know, spawn of
Clinton, from the Rat Hatchery.
bttt
Spot on brother and this will surface. This was brought up only ONCE during the Issa Hindsight Committee investigation.
Not my anyone except for that crazy Kucinich. The ambassador would not answer the question, but Issa let the panel answer the question.
15 to 20 thousand shoulder fired SAMs believed to be in the hands of the third world animals. Whole lot of civilian airline targets out there.....
