My spidey-sense is that this whole situation was planned by the terrorists on the ground, but the administration saw an opportunity to spin it into an invitation for government censorship. Otherwise, why would the “movie” line be pushed so hard so fast by the administration?
I was once told by an Admiral, a quote from Patton, “when in command, COMMAND.”
Instead of commanding, they were probably focused on how they could spin it for their own agenda. Thus, the mess on the ground that occurred because they were not actually concerned with taking command of the situation, but spinning it to their agenda.
The removal of security in response to a 40-foot hole being blown in the wall of the consulate, and the immediate knowledge of this practically unviewed video suggest that the Obama regime didn’t just react to this attack but may have helped plan it.
