W.H. Tries to Write Al Qaeda Out of Libya Story
Weekly Standard ^ | 12:22 PM, Oct 20, 2012 | STEPHEN F. HAYES

The Obama administration appears to be mounting yet another version of its campaign to push back on claims that it misled on the intelligence related to the attacks in Benghazi on 9/11/12. But the new offensive by the administration, which contradicts many of its earlier claims and simply disregards intelligence that complicates its case, is raising fresh questions in the intelligence community and on Capitol Hill about the manipulation of intelligence for political purposes.

These people seem to think that whatever lie they put forth on any given day will be the lie that works.

They are 100% invested in utter, total lies.

Hilarious desperation.

FACTS DO MATTER.

The Washington Compost and LAT piecces are written to help protect the Marxist for Monday night’s debate.

Won’t hold water. People know he’s a liar.

You can’t make a race horse out of a mule.

Wow.

I'm old enough to remember when Democrat Administrations got their party line using spokespeople, and not a fully complicit, utterly obsequious Pravda Press.
