McClatchy: Obama admin changed story on Benghazi to blame video 3 days after attack

I believe this is wrong.

Here, he said these two things on on the 12th.

Here's the first quote:

Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts.

Okay, the word terrorism is not located in this paragraph. What is mentioned is "the denigration of a religious belief". Hmmm, why would you mention this, if you weren't blaming the deaths on a response to some act of denigration, say a particular now famous video, and a spontaneous reaction to it? Why would you say denigration didn't justify something, if you weren't linking the two acts, denigration with senseless acts/brutal violence?

The president is lying. McKlatchy's staff is either lying or they haven't the mental faculties to discern meaning.

Here's the second quote:

As Americans, let us never, ever forget that our freedom is only sustained because there are people who are willing to fight for it, to stand up for it, and in some cases, lay down their lives for it. Our country is only as strong as the character of our people and the service of those both civilian and military who represent us around the globe.

No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.

Here are three important points to take away from this two paragraph quote.

1. Note how he broke into a new concept with the last half of the first paragraph, and the first part of the second. He does mention our foreign diplomats before and after this new concept, but standing on it's own, who he sets up the statement to be about, it does not reference our lost diplomats. This is very crafty here. It absolves him from being held to state this event was an act of terrorism. He uses the word in general terms, but not directly tied to our men who died. Remember that!

2. Note how he says we will not waver in our commitment toward the end. He wants justice done... for terrorism? No, for this terrible act. This is his second chance to call this terrorism. He doesn't.

3. Check out the blue text. I've heard of Justice being achieved, completed, or realized. I don't hear of it being done. A project can be 'done' at any stage of it's progression. You can start a project and quit. It's done. It's over. It won't be completed, but the project is done. You can stop in the middle or just before it is completed. None the less, the project's done. It's over.

This guy probably did mean justice would be achieved, but he didn't say that. He, like the Clintons and their minions, constantly use weasel words. It leaves him/them an open door to walk thorough. "No, if you look carefully, I implied we would try. I never said we'd achieve justice. I simply said Justice would be done."

Ah thanks Bill..., er Hillary..., er Lanny..., er James..., er Barack.

Last but not least folks, please consider this.

Why was the video and spontaneous reaction to it so vital to Obama's attempt to cover his ass? Why was he so reluctant to abandon his attempt to tie this to a video and a spontaneous reaction for two weeks?

HE... Let me repeat that, "HE" knew that the diplomats had been demanding more security. His only way to avoid being tied to their deaths was to affix the deaths of these diplomats to a spontaneous act of violence? Why? Because he couldn't be held to account, if it was something he couldn't have foreseen.

Thankfully, we now know there was an open line to Libya. They knew in real time there was not spontaneous reaction to some video made months before.

When he tied this to spontaneous violence which he knew from the first evening didn't take place, he telegraphed that he alone had refused to send more security to Libya.

Checkmate!

Let us not forget what Egypt was demanding as this terrorist attack was taking place. I agree with you that Obama’s words are jammed packed, speaking to peoples we had no clue at the time what the intent really was.

AND I do not think that video had any purpose other than to stir up global Muslim reaction for some global UN probably, response to make it a crime against humanity to speak ill of Islam. And Obama became the prophet to make that happen. Then found it useful to use same video to cover up having been caught with his pants down in Libya, by ignoring, and refusing to plant US signature of security.. inside Libya. It is useful to remember Hillary's initial angry reaction.

He does not want US to know that we have armed AlQaeda to the teeth, so his army of rebels can move on to Syria. The Gorelick wall has been rebuilt to serve liberal politicians. But once the State Department career employees let the ‘cat’ out of the bag, that everybody in WDC and around this world that had the need to know, knew instantly that Benghazi was a terrorist attack the lies could no longer be hidden. I do not believe for a minute this is over. WE have armed Obama’s rebels and they are in this for the long haul.

Thank you for your analysis of this, I agree completely! I also think Obama’s motivation for his cover story was not only to CYA about the denial of resources for the embassy in Benghazi but, more importantly, to keep his narrative going about how he has vanquished AQ and America is safe from terrorism because of his brave actions. He could not allow the story to get out that AQ was involved in the planning of this attack for a long time and he did NOTHING to ensure the embassy staff was secured. It was too close to the election for his foreign policy failings to become front and center. If Romney doesn't make mincemeat out of him this next debate, he'd be a fool...and I don't think he is one.
