Benghazi Whistleblower: 'My Jaw Hit the Floor' as WH Blamed YouTube
Breitbart's Big Peace ^ | May 5, 2013 | John Sexton

Posted on 05/05/2013 8:09:32 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

In an appearance on Face the Nation this morning, Rep. Darrell Issa revealed several new pieces of information about the Obama administration's controversial description of the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, casting doubt that the White House mischaracterized its cause by mere accident.

"The talking points were right and then the talking points were wrong," Issa explained in response to a question about reporting at the Weekly Standard. The CIA and Greg Hicks, who took over as Charge d'Affairs in Libya after the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens, both knew immediately that it was an attack, not a protest.

Hicks, who did not appear on the show but whose reactions were featured based on transcripts of interviews with Issa's committee, said he was stunned by what UN Ambassador Susan Rice claimed on five different news shows on Sep. 16. When she appeared on Face the Nation, she followed an interview with the President of Libya who claimed he had "no doubt" it was a terror attack. Moments later, Amb. Rice contradicted him and claimed a spontaneous protest was more likely.

Acting Ambassador Hicks watched the Sunday shows and said he found this contradiction shocking. "The net impact of what has transpired is the spokesperson of the most powerful country in the world has basically said that the President of Libya is either a liar or doesn't know what he's talking about," he accused. Hicks added, "My jaw hit the floor as I watched this...I've never been as embarrassed in my life, in my career as on that day."

Hicks believes the stunning failure of diplomacy on the Sunday news shows explains why it took the FBI three weeks to gain access to the Benghazi site....

Yeah.

I thought maybe people would open up after Hillary’s departure from State. So this is a little slower than I anticipated, but I have no idea why.

According to KSFO am radio SF, the guy that made the anti-muslim terrorist You Tube video that the WH blamed for the 9/11 Benghazi attack is still in jail in San Diego CA. Maybe it’s time to let him out.

They blamed it —a huge foreign policy FIASCO— on a YouTube maker, a guy who is still in jail and who was in SOLITARY.

The Prez and his helpers framed up an innocent man.

Yes..and Obama and his cronies also caused more deaths across the Middle East by blaming a video many had never heard about until the WH started shouting about it from the rooftops and the riots and death spread like wildfire!
