Feinstein: ´Talking points were wrong´
Politico ^ | 05/12/13 | Tarini Parti

Posted on 05/12/2013 10:15:15 AM PDT by Nachum

Sen. Dianne Feinstein says the talking points used on the Sunday news shows following the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, were wrong, adding that the administration should have been quicker in calling it a terrorist act. “I think the talking points were wrong,” the California Democrat who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Sunday on NBC´s “Meet the Press.” “I think the talking points should not be written by the intelligence community.” “Unfortunately," she added, "the word extremist was used which isn’t not as crystal clear as terrorist.”

“Extremist” applies to lib-dem filth; terrorist applies to murderous, subhuman muslim troglodytes.

backpedaling furiously,

but still blaming “the intelligence community”

and not the administration, who lied brazenly for several weeks about who did it and why.

They are going to try to ignore it out of existence this way.

They are going to say Obama and his minions should have just come forward and said “gosh we’re so embarrassed- are our faces sure red!” as if admitting they lied will be enough.

NO ONE is talking about how they ORDERED RESCUERS TO STAND DOWN and let them die!

It is all about “coming forward” to say it was a terrorist act.

This is just an attempt to take control of the debate by co-opting some of the argument but not letting it advance to a degree that could hurt them.

In her defense, she does have a lot of employees and servants who don’t speak English.

She really got that mixed up ~ the final ‘talking points’ WERE WRITTEN BY THE REGIME, not by CIA anaysts.

Well, one thing is cleared up. Extremist is the accepted word for terrorist. That means when they talk about right-wing extremists, they are REALLY saying right-wing terrorist, is that correct? Trying to get my newspeak decoder ring updated.

That's an easy one, Cowboy Bob. She's scared silly she's going to lose President You Didn't Build That's support for her leftist extremist so-called "gun control" scheme. She's doing "whatever it takes," as they say in socialist circles, to prop him up.

Forgot to add, we really are using those talking points to ridicule and criticize the Obamistas and their running dog lackeys, even Obama hissef'

What a bunch of doufouses ~ they see the future so clearly but they don't understand it.

Now for the waterboarding.

I’ll bet that there are a quite a few CIA operatives who would love for Senator Fineswine to visit Libya and Benghazi right about now. I am sure they would provide very fine security for her. Odds are she would return to the USA the same way our Ambassador did.

Yeah, just keep it up. Eventually some CIA folks are going to explode with info.
