President Barack Obama on Friday forcefully denied deliberately misleading Americans about the deadly attack on the US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi, telling radio host Michael Smerconish, "I've always been straight with the American people."
Speaking to Smerconish during a 15-minute Oval Office interview, Obama also declared he was "absolutely" prepared to kill those behind the assault but would prefer to capture them and "bring them to justice."
Asked whether the Administration's shifting explanation for the September 11th strike reflected the intelligence he was receiving, Obama replied: "What's true is that the intelligence was coming in and evolving as more information came up.
"And what is true," he continued, "...This is something that the American people can take to the bank -- is that my administration plays this stuff straight. We don't play politics when it comes to American national security," the president said. "As information came in we gave it to the American people. And as we got new information, we gave that to the American people."
When and if the location of those behind the attack is known, Smerconish asked, "Will you take that person out without regard for the election timetable?"
"Absolutely," Obama replied. "But I think our goal would be to bring them to justice."

To paraphrase a very popular old Charlton Heston movie;
"Muslim must never kill Muslim."
Of course not.
Smerconish would not risk losing access to the Sociopath-in-Chief.
That would not be a good career move.
So is Brennan.
I don’t think he can shake it off at this point.
...Because I think most Americans (save the Obamabots) are saying the same thing right now.
I don’t believe anything that comes out of that man’s mouth anymore..
I’ve read a few of these reports and the twisted logic loosely lines up, but wouldn’t a lot of others have to have knowledge of this scheme? Hillary, Panetta, Patreaus?
If they didn’t know then, wouldn’t they know now? Is there one honest person left and will they come forward?
Yahoo News commenters are normally leftists.
But for this article, the comments section is on fire. Obama is getting excoriated.
This may really be the turning moment, like the helicopter crash in the Iranian desert in 1980.
When I think about those guys with laser trained on the enemy and with coordinates— asking for help that never comes...
I visualize those stinkin’ terrorist laughing. Laughing that we never helped these men and laughing as American’s are being lied to by our government.
It infuriates me beyond belief.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
“But I think our goal would be to bring them to justice.”
I agree...but, the “them” is Obama, Biden, Panetta, Petraeus and Clinton....reap the whirlwind you gutless cowards.
TRANSCRIPT: Presidential debate on foreign policy at Lynn University
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/22/transcript-presidential-debate-on-foreign-policy-at-lynn-university/
Obama “Now with respect to Libya, as I indicated in the last debate, when we received that phone call, I immediately made sure that, number one, that we did everything we could to secure those Americans who were still in harm’s way;”
This little POS community activist is a no longer so closet Muslim — he hides behind Candy-cakes Crowley’s skirt and proclaims “mommy, the bad man is calling me a liar, I did too call it terror.” then for the next two weeks he runs around bitching about the damn video no one saw. He culminated his apology tour, kow-towing in front of Muslims saying “the future does not belong to those who slander the profit.” Now we find out those Muslim dirtbags were held off for some time and our people just needed back up help - they asked in vain and were three times refused while O’Shehada threw them under the Muslim bus — THEN the SOB went off to party and fund raise in Vegas. And he expects us to forget all that crap he pulled. He is a liar, a maniac and a jihadist, and I can’t wait until his butt is thrown back to the gutters of Chicago, Kenya, or some mansion in Hawaii gullible fools are supposedly buying for him and his fatbutt-beard. I never want to see his ugly mug again.
Note how the headline is composed.
Obama ‘rebuts’-implying a definitive debunking.
The idea that he’s lying is dismissed as a ‘claim’, casting doubt on it.
Propaganda wordplay straight from Goebbels or old Radio Moscow.
Pathetic lying sack of durbin. Time for jail.
Within hours of the murders, the administration had adopted that phony story about the Youtube video - had they interviewed the terrorists at that point? How did they learn that such a specific Youtube video was the supposed inspiration?
I go there regularly. The comments against Obama far exceed those for him. Its very encouraging to see.
Doesn’t this belong on the “Official Friday Silliness Thread?”
Surely, Mr. Obama isn’t serious.
