Ping.
Those are the bottom line points. Not a single one of them has been addressed in any way so far. The Coward of Benghazi is in hiding.
It does not matter, particularly, who either gave the order to stand down, or who chose to change the talking points.
What does matter, is the code of silence that virtually the entire regime of Bronco Bama has chosen to subscribe to. For a “transparent” administration, they sure have covered up a lot of questionable decisions and actions that border on the definition of “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors”, as stated in the Constitution.
This code of conduct is included as part of the UCMJ, as “refusal to obey orders, abuse of authority, dereliction of duty, moral turpitude, and conduct unbecoming.” Normally these would not apply to a private citizen, but for people of elected or appointed authority, a higher standard is called for.
But as for trying to get the lethargic American electorate to sit up and take notice of this major lapse of duty and responsibility, it is rather like urinating in the direction of the wind.
And... Liz Cheney summed it up nicely:
It is now the forth or fifth iteration of who changed the talking points, which isnt something that happens when you are actually telling the truth.
I am still curious as to what when on behind the scenes after Morrell’s statement to the 3 senators, the correction in the early evening retracting Morrell’s statement, and the slick explanation that apparently followed even later to CBS.

The WH is spinning so many lies so fast it's hard to keep up with their latest version.
There are multiple worthy topics regarding this whole mess.
What exactly was the CIA doing in Benghazi....
What was so Important that Amb Stevens , realizing that he had no real security in Benghazi,...choose to go there on the anniversary of Sept 11, 2001.
They are trying to keep this one active so they can avoid the tougher questioons that we have been laying out since the attack happened.
Who cares any more. Nothing is going to be done about it anyway.
Obama has the US by the azz.
The other 30 were flown to Germany (Ramstein?) immediately and were apparently questioned there by the FBI in the days afterwards. No idea who they were...our people, prisoners of ours, just random people stuck there?
In any case, a little information seems to be leaking from these interviews, which is one of the things discrediting the “testimony” of all these other dweebs, suckers, fall-guys, or whatever you want to call them.
This stink emanates from the Oval Office, no place else. Until the congress grows the necessary cajones the usurper in chief will continue to skate on this. Gun running and murder seem to follow wherever the big “O” goes.
'Why did 0bama turn his back on 41 Americans leaving them to die?'
The 0bama regime is trying to divert attention with a "Red Herring", ie. the talking point, in hopes that the public will grow weary and move on before ever getting to the "stand down" order. Remember, the public has a very short attention span and with the MSM refusing to discuss Benghazi, most of the Country has no idea what went on. You can seen it fading, like Fast and Furious, because congress is a bunch of spineless morons.

My nomination for the obama team human cockroach who took charge of this fiasco and acted as the mouthpiece giving the “knock it off” orders to the military and CIA -in place of an apathetic or addled potus who was probably more concerned about getting a beer and a night’s sleep - and didn’t want potus duties to interfere with his Vegas fundraiser next day.
You just said it was because the public has a short attention span.
What would you expect a "spineless" congress to do then?
US diplomats, Marine rescue team were also attacked at safe house, Libyans say Sept. 12, 2012Miscommunication that understated the number of American survivors awaiting rescue -- there were 37, nearly four times as many as the Libyan commander expected -- also meant survivors and rescuers found themselves short of transport to escape this second battle, delaying an eventual dawn break for the airport.

"(The ambassador) died as a result of suffocation by the fumes of the fire inside the embassy and one was also killed by gunfire before around 37 people were moved to a place we thought was safe," Sharif told Reuters in Benghazi.
Here is another short report.
Personnel wounded in Benghazi consulate attack treated at Landstuhl Sept. 13, 2012All Benghazi consulate personnel have been evacuated to the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli in a series of flights that included the three wounded personnel and the remains of the fallen State Department officials, the official said.
(snip)
The three diplomats injured in the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya are being treated at an American military hospital in Germany and one of the two most seriously wounded is expected to leave the intensive care unit on Thursday.
A State Department status report obtained by The Associated Press says the third injured staffer is awake and alert at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center near the Ramstein Air Base, where 33 uninjured consulate personnel are staying and receiving military counseling. All were evacuated from Benghazi early Wednesday and arrived in Germany late that afternoon along with the remains of the four diplomats.
According to the report, the injured staffers "are doing relatively well" and most want to return to Libya.
Congress and the press seem to be totally incurious about them.
BINGO!!! And, it will be forgotten. People’s attention span is very short and they know it.
Don't forget that the Watergate burglary happened in 1972. The hearings didn't start humming until 2 years later.
Let loose the dogs of war.
McLame and Grahmnisty to the resuce?? Give me an effing brake!! This crap is nothing more than typical political diversion to keep the focus off of the obozo's treasonous order to the military to stand down and not help the NOW DEAD ambassador and three other Americans. Now the obozo is publicly saying that there is nothing left to disclose about the Benghazi terrorist massacre. To me, obozo might as well have been on site doing the launching of the RPGs because that statement is proof that he's as guilty as hell and was complicit in the deaths of those 4 Americans. Just like Bill Clinton re Waco and Daddy Bush re Ruby Ridge. Unfortunately, those in DC are above the law.
Yes, it’s odd. Or not really, I guess.
They seem to have been debriefed at least by the FBI (and remember, it supposedly took the FBI a couple of weeks to actually get to Benghazi), but whatever information was obtained seems to have sunk into a dark pool somewhere. And then there were the two or three “prisoners” who somebody (who?) ordered the rescuers to turn over to the Libyans, although what Libyans is not very clear either. AQ or our supposed allies?
