So why did they go with such a lame story in the first place and why did they stick to it so adamantly?

It worked didn't it? It hardly mattered what they were saying as long as they put it off. Now it's only the wonks that even care about it any more.

Have a beer.

I think it’s because it is covering up something much, much bigger. Like gunrunning in the ME.

Plus, they had an election to consider. 0bama’s entire record was based on his “strength” shown by getting bin Laden. He was claiming to be a master of foreign policy and that he had AQ on the run. Now it was all unraveling and he needed it to not be his fault.

Yes, and the Libya war was arguably the largest-scale foreign policy event of his administration. He was already getting some blowback, muted by the media, from the Muslim Brotherhood taking over Egypt and introducing radical Islamic policy. The last thing he needed was to look directly responsible for putting extremists in control of Libya.

The correct answer is really very simple. The rebels used by Obama to remove Gadhafi are Al Qaeda. In other words, Obama GAVE ARMS TO AL QAEDA to illegally overthrow the government of Libya.

Just as he illegally gave arms to the Sinaloa drug cartel on our border:

Obama thinks you and I are idiots. We aren’t but the Presstitutes are.

Obama can tell any lie and the alphabet media will cover for him. We won’t but who is listening?

Obama is a Muslim traitor working to destroy the US.

Far beyond mere incompetence, failed foreign policy and dereliction of duty, this scandal and its subsequent coverup are grounds for impeachment and removal from office of both Oblamer and Clinton!

Did anyone notice this in the transcript?

Approximately 20 armed people fired shots. Explosions have been heard as well. Ambassador Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four chief-of-mission personnel are in the compound safe haven." At 4:54, less than an hour later, another alert. "The firing in Benghazi has stopped, a response team is on site attempting to locate chief-of-mission personnel." (/transcript)

Apparently there was some sort of "response team" on location by the time the fighting abated and the ambassador was being killed, or borne away to be killed. Perhaps the presence of the "response team" was why the ambassador was moved by the terrorists. </spec>

Another unexplained piece.

Hillary has VAST experience at how cover ups are done.

No kidding -- she is an encyclopedia of deceit, concealment, and of vivisection of former employees. Her only footprint, the trace that betrays, is going to be the presence of the word "Arkancide" in the dictionary.

Even getting dressed in the morning is an Everest of concealment for Beastwoman.

With four hundred tons of weaponry being given to the mooselimb brotherhood for use in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and perhaps Saudi Arabia, this is a bit larger than Fast and Furious. Instead of trying to undermine the Constitutional right to bear arms, these sonofabitches are arming the radical islam they publicly assert is not going to runt he Mideel East. The lies and cover ups are part and parcel of the strategy of obama and his mooselimb swine soiling the White Hut, to arrange the Middle East as a Mooselimb wave to wash away Israel and rule the freakin’ world. These people are not incompetent, they’re evil!

Not a word about Stevens running guns and ManPads to Syria, this despite the fact that Gaffney published it in the Washington Times?

Where the hell have you been El Rushbo?

response team is on site

Could the “response team on site” be the 2 Navy Seals who died last, defending the compound?

TWO GUYS? The "response team" was two guys who were sent in last, after the bodies were already cooling?

God, what a butt-fugly straw to draw!

There just has to be more to it than that .... see also the posts above, about arms => Muslim Brotherhood => Syrian rebels.

There is just a whole lot of explaining to be done here.

Zer0 may be selling arms for campaign cash. This would be just like the POS that he is to use taxpayer funded weapons as a campaign fund raising device.
