With all the attention the Obama administration’s lies about the Benghazi terrorist attack are, at long last getting, an aspect of the scandal remains under-examined: the assumption that the anti-Islamic video so tirelessly touted by President Obama and his minions as the provocation causing the Benghazi violence did, in fact, cause the rioting at the U.S. embassy in Cairo hours earlier on September 11, 2012.
This conventional wisdom is wrong.

....which makes the “video” fiasco even more ridiculous!
My Bet is the imam sited as mentioning the video in one of his rants prior to the attack was prompted by outside interests. I’d say the outside interest has state department connections.
Barry and the Brotherhood, up to their usual tricks.
I am glad someone else has not forgotten about Cairo. I haven’t either.
The first story I read on 9/11 about the riots at the Cairo embassy mentioned the "we are a million osamas" chant from the rioters. I think McCarthy is correct that it was the Obama goons who hyped the video and succeeded in making it a small part of the protest in Cairo.
Even the protests and attack in Cairo weren't about that stupid 'video.'

Senior administration official: The Cairo embassy’s statement does not reflect the view of the U.S. government; Update: Romney calls embassy statement “disgraceful”posted at 10:34 pm on September 11, 2012 by Allahpundit
The White House is disavowing a statement from their own Cairo embassy that apologized for anti-Muslim activity in the United States.
“The statement by Embassy Cairo was not cleared by Washington and does not reflect the views of the United States government,” a senior administration official told POLITICO…
“Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a Tuesday statement.
And here 0bamugabe and Hillary work together to try to prop up her 'video did it' nonsense and spread it even further.

I’ll bet bent willie is secretly enjoying theevisceration of hillahag. Now there is no way she can ever eclipse him by being elected as the first female pResident.
Among the crowd there in Cairo standingon the US embassy alls among the “protesters” were people wearing Guy Fawkes masks and a fair number of very western looking individuals. All while the “We are all Osama!” chanting was going on.
Read that just for fun if you can find it on the web... very creepy.
The Marxist scumbags pissed on the 1st Amendment as cover for the terrorism — the antithesis of what it means to be an American.
As I recall there was a contantly changing story lin about the OBL raid too as the administration embellished the crap out of it to make the Prez look fierce and the SEALs like mere assassins.
