BBC Apologizes for Benghazi Coverage: Hillary In Trouble, 'Heads Will Roll'
Breitbart's Big Journalism ^ | May 10, 2013 | John Nolte

Posted on 05/10/2013 9:08:48 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Mark Mardell, the BBC's North American editor, issued a mea culpa of sorts today after Jonathan Karl at ABC News dropped his bombshell that proves beyond any doubt that the Obama Administration lied about its involvement in editing the CIA's talking points surrounding the September 11 attack on our consulate in Libya.

In a piece titled, "After Benghazi revelations, heads will roll," Mardell writes, "In the interests of full disclosure I have to say I have not in the past been persuaded that allegations of a cover-up were a big deal." He adds, "It seemed to me a partisan attack based on very little."

That all changed with today's revelations. Mardell now believes:

This is the first hard evidence that the state department did ask for changes to the CIA's original assessment.

Specifically, they wanted references to previous warnings deleted and this sentence removed: "We do know that Islamic extremists with ties to al-Qa'ida participated in the attack."

There's little doubt in my mind that this will haunt Hillary Clinton if she decides to run for president, unless she executes some pretty fancy footwork....

The Mail is one of those great rarities, a right-leaning newspaper. They are quite vociferous in their criticism of the BBC.

The PERSON or PERSONS who get the ANSWER to the ONLY QUESTION that will piece EVERYTHING together will be the modern day Woodward & Bernstein.

The QUESTION? "WHO ISSUED THE ORDER TO STAND DOWN?"

Here's General McInerney's take on that one.

Lt. General Thomas McInerney joined Lou Dobbs to discuss the Benghazi massacre and coverup.

McInerney told Dobbs, “There is only one person who can say stand down and that’s the president.” Via Lou Dobbs Tonight on FOX Business:

Lt. General Mclnerney: There is only one person who can say, stand down. And that is the President of the United States. For us to deny forces to go to the aid or our people – we never leave people behind, Lou”, he continued. “And that’s where the dereliction of duty comes in and it permeates the whole command and control system. To say we couldn’t get the airplanes down there, we couldn’t get approval for air space….that doesn’t matter, Lou…you take action and you move out. I’m actually ashamed of the way our military responded – not the men and women, but our senior leaders – and it’s disgraceful.”

I also have no doubt that the average American has an IQ slightly above room temperature with the attention span of a retarded chipmunk.


You owe an apology...............to the retarded chipmunks

Congratulations! Such an admission can be a true step forward for you toward becoming the journalist you pretend to be.

Set aside your bias and let the facts tell the story instead, be it "global warming" or any other progressive scheme, including the scam of the obama presidency.

Do you think that would stop her? If Obama was asleep at the switch,I can see the witch taking charge. I’m sure that, like everything else ,they figured nothing would come of their actions or inaction.

Clinton ain’t the type to go down alone, if she falls into the pit she’ll drag down anyone and everyone she can with her.

With Hildabeast's record of lying & obstrufication, FR types need to be reminded of her Rose Law firm billing records disappearing for three years. Or, upon learning of Vince Foster's death (suicide?) Maggie Williams was dispatched immediately to Foster's office (before it was secured) to clean out any incriminating evidence.
Then there was the cattle futures deal where a few thousand dollars in seed money turned into $100,000 plus in less than a year. Whitewater, of course, and then her conversation, a veiled threat actually, with Juanita Broddrick (the women the bent one raped in a Little Rock hotel) shortly after the incident.

This whole ugly mess is 10 times worse than Watergate. If this does not reach proper fruition then the MSM will be historically viewed as a co-conspirator.

She’ll take them with her...or pay them off to support her...or threaten nasty business if they don’t.
