Exclusive: Benghazi Talking Points Underwent 12 Revisions, Scrubbed of Terror Reference
ABC News ^

Posted on 05/10/2013 5:05:20 AM PDT by Perdogg

When it became clear last fall that the CIA’s now discredited Benghazi talking points were flawed, the White House said repeatedly the documents were put together almost entirely by the intelligence community, but White House documents reviewed by Congress suggest a different story.

ABC News has obtained 12 different versions of the talking points that show they were extensively edited as they evolved from the drafts first written entirely by the CIA to the final version distributed to Congress and to U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice before she appeared on five talk shows the Sunday after that attack.

Ever notice that the first comments on the media sites are from the left? It’s like they have all the minions on standby before they post so they can get the comments off to a liberal slant.

Nuland needs to take the stand, I'm not 100% convinced she will fall on her sword. She is a career State Dept. employee, and I would suspect she has a lot more respect for the likes of Condalisa Rice than that skank Hillary whom set her up. Nuland let the cat out of the bag with her comment that the talking points didn't sit well with “the Buildings Leadership. Someone a lot higher up is going to go down.

So letting them blame a video isn’t prejudicing the investigation, oh, yes it is, but in another direction, remember our military and administration and government agencies have been infiltrated by Muslims and Muslim sympathizers, you wont hear that at any hearing.


I had not read the excuse “might prejudice the investigation” in any of Hayes’ pages, so wondering if cbs put that in there, so they can “try” to find some excuse for altering the pages. I know, we can see right through that, but the low info/value voters, will cling to anything to get their annointed one & comrades off the hook. It won’t fly, because this thing is going all the way. I just don’t trust the media.

Actually watched the video. Matthews has a heck of a problem carrying Hillary’s water. Probably Lisa’s last face time on THAT so-called show.

The content of the article is one story. The second and even more significant story is that the liberal media is starting to cover the scandal.

The Dems politicized Benghazi to save 0bama’s re-election bid and then blamed Republicans for politicizing Benghazi. Whenever the Dems place blame for something, it is usually they who are guilty!!

It’s only 1044 miles from Aviano to Benghazi per Goolge:

“The distance from Aviano to Benghazi is 1680 kilometers or 1044 miles only.

A typical flight between Aviano, and Benghazi would have a flying time of about 2 hours 6 mins. This assumes an average flight speed for a commercial airliner of 500 mph, which is equivalent to 805 km/hr or 434 knots. Your exact time may vary depending on wind speeds.”

An F-16 could make it less than 2 hours without breaking a sweat, dropped a couple SDB’s, laid down some 20mm rounds and scared the Shiite out of the mohammad movie protestors.

It’s easy to question anything coming out of MSM....bait and switch?

They are not to be trusted. They may play “balanced” only to get the audiance...then change the game to once again defend all those who should be called to account.

Hillary won’t be thrown under the bus....Rice, maybe...but no doubt they are already planning on who is going to ttake the fall...and it won’t be Hillary....or Obama.

Rush just led off with this story and said “it’s all over the media.”
