The clown car cover up continues.

Amb. Rice on ABC's This Week on September 16:

But our current best assessment, based on the information that we have at present, is that, in fact, what this began as, it was a spontaneous -- not a premeditated -- response to what had transpired in Cairo. In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated.

We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to -- or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo. And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons, weapons that as you know in -- in the wake of the revolution in Libya are -- are quite common and accessible. And it then evolved from there.

We'll wait to see exactly what the investigation finally confirms, but that's the best information we have at present.

Contrary to this CIA leak and Rice's statement, there was no demonstration in Benghazi. And the administration knew that in real time on September 11.

"Some precoordination but minimal planning?" As evidenced by the previous incidents going back to April involving IEDs thrown into the compound, the attack on the British convoy, and the last message from Sean Smith about the Libyan guards photographing the compound? And the multiple warnings from Amb. Stevens, including his own freaking diary?

Just d@mn...A shovel ready project is underway by Satan's engineers. Hades is forced to expand its Circle of Traitors. It may take decades but they'll get there eventually.

We have to remember that David Ignatius was a spear-catcher for Clinton during the impeachment wars.

What a tool - the rear end of the Obama human centipede.

The lame stream media got their talking points to try to take the heat off Bambi before Monday’s debate.

In addition, the statement that they were monitoring and hearing these ROP jihadis watching and discussing the Egyptian protests. Discussion for a period of time = premeditation.

And why would they be monitoring non-jihadis? Answer: The wouldn't. They were trying to find out what happened to the disappeared missiles, and they would have been monitoring jihadi type suspects.

Maybe the White Hut occupants told the CIA what they wanted the report to say? Maybe the CIA was just lying to give cover to what they were really doing?

Whatever they are selling - I am not buying.

CIA is not likely going to lie down for Chicago:

From AP:

The CIA station chief in Libya reported to Washington within 24 hours of last month’s deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate that there was evidence it was carried out by militants, not a spontaneous mob upset about an American-made video ridiculing Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, U.S. officials have told The Associated Press.

That's not believable. Witnesses in Cairo deny that the "video" had anything at all to do with the protests there. In spite of the Cairo embassy, lead by Hillbilly Clinton, doing all it could on Twitter to promote that hoax.

Brian Lilley: The MSM is lying about the muslim riots Sept. 15th video report 12:01

Excellent report that debunks "anti-muslim video" scam with interviews on the street in Cairo.

individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons, weapons that as you know in -- in the wake of the revolution in Libya are -- are quite common and accessible.

And the reason for that is because the 0bama administration helped create the chaos which allowed extremists to get access to these weapons. Libya was an ally who had supposedly gotten rid of their WMD, and now extremist elements have filled the vacuum created by the US-backed overthrow of Khaddafi. That is the basis on which the 0bama Mideast/Libya policy should be criticized.

I expect Romney to be thoughtful, deliberate, and skillful in his criticism of 0bama's foreign policy, and I also expect him to offer an alternative vision of his own with respect to Mideast policy as well as foreign policy in general. Romney can probably make the best points with respect to his and 0bama's significantly different visions regarding Israel and Iran.

Everybody knows now that Romney was right about the Rose Garden transcript.

The WH and MSM have got 3 days to come up with something to make "Romney's fault" before the foreign policy session on Monday.

Thus, these WaPo attempts to pitch it back toward Romney.

So now the video is — once again — the cause of Benghazi? But didn’t Obama just say in this week’s debate that he *never* said Benghazi had *anything* to do with the video? Candy, get the transcript!

The CIA has talking points?.

I thought talking points was a political thing.

That’s not even mentioning that I didn’t see a named source.

Get on with your bad selves, Obama shills.
